Bheja Fry question

  This brain teaser really tests our mental ability.


Question 


I am an alphabet, you get when you take half of ten 

But I am not five.

Who am I  ???


Answer 


Here solution is not about just logic ,

It is also about perspective.



At first glance, we think of regular math 

Half of ten is five , right ???



But this brain teaser plays with symbols, not just numbers !!!


Answer is in ROMAN NUMBERS ........


In Roman numerals,

10      is written as         X  .



If you take half of the shape of X ,

We are left with    V  which is number 5 in Roman numerics  !!!



So, answer is   '  V  '  !!!

Why statue of liberty is in green colour ??

Statue of liberty's original colour was shiny, metallic, dull brown colour as it is made of copper.


Copper exterior reacted with oxygen, water and air pollution over several decades.


This chemical reaction created a thin protective layer called "  patina  ".


This green patina actually protects the underlying copper from deeper corrosion and weathering.



Hence US government chose not to paint or clean the statue as this green coloured patina naturally protects the statue   !!!


Monkeys and Apes : what's the difference ??

 Monkeys and Apes both are primates.


Primary difference lies in the presence or absence of tails.


Monkeys have tails while Apes do not.


Apes are generally larger, have broader chests and shoulders are adapted for swinging.


Monkeys are smaller and built for running across branches.


Apes are more intelligent than monkeys.


Apes have upright body positions and can walk comfortably on two legs.


Monkeys are often running on tree branches.

Why do Venus and Jupiter meet on sky so often ??

Venus and Jupiter " meet " in the sky a lot because of their orbit work relative to Earth.


Venus orbits the Sun in 225 days. It's an inner planet and zips around faster than Earth.


Jupiter takes 11.86 Earth years to orbit around the Sun.  Its an outer planet and " crawls " compared to Earth  !!!


Earth is also orbiting the Sun.  As Jupiter makes its slow annual trek around Sun across our point of view, fast moving Venus inevitably overtakes and passes by Jupiter  !!!



Venus and Jupiter line up with each other roughly around 13 - 14 months.


All planets orbit in elliptical plane.  So they naturally pass each other in the sky from time to time.


Venus and Jupiter cross paths more often than any other planets because of math of their periods.


As both Venus and Jupiter are brightest, they really stand out. Fainter planets can be in conjunction, but we don't notice  !!!


Both Venus and Jupiter line up perfectly along our line of sight, they are actually never close in space.


Both of them remain seperated by millions of kms in space .  The meeting of two planets is the perfect optical illusion    !!!!
