Kids are always kids !!!

 I had written an article few days ago how my nephew Aniruddha listed down the countries participating in football world cup.


He listed down all the 48 countries correctly  !!!


I was little skeptical about this fact.


So, this time I asked him to tell the name of the countries who have made it to round of 32.


I thought this would be tricky. I was confident that he will back away this time   !!!


But believe it or not.....


Aniruddha was able to list down  !!!


Me  :  Aniruddha, all the 3 host countries of FIFA world cup are qualified for knockouts.

            Can you name them ??


Aniruddha :  its very easy !!!

                          Mexico, Canada and United States......


Me  :  I know it was easy.

           There were only 3 countries......

           Can you name the other countries who have reached the knock out  ??


Aniruddha :  As you say ....

2.  Germany 


3.  Argentina 


4.  France 


5.  Norway 


6.  Columbia 


7.  Switzerland

Bheja Fry question

  Question 


8   +   4   =   96

7   +   2   =    63

7   +    9   =   ??



Answer 


If we closely observe, we will come to know the required pattern  !!!!


Pattern is , 


Add the 2 numbers given together. (  first no  +   second no  )

Multiply the sum by first number  !!!



Let us start solving


Given      8  +   4   =   96

According to pattern,

              8  +   4   =  12

==>>      12   *   8    =   96



Given    7   +  2   =   63

According to pattern,

            7   +    2   =    9

==>>    9   *   7   =   63



Hence    7  +   9   =  16

==>>     16  *  7  =  112   !!!

Why hair fall spikes during monsoon ??

 For many people, monsoon brings an increase in hair fall.


Biggest culprit is rise in humidity   !!!


High humidity is the major factor responsible for hair fall during monsoon.


High humidity tends to make the scalp sweaty and this leads to the formation of dandruff, fungal growth and irritation of scalp.


All these things weakens the root of hair and make them susceptible to shedding.


It's a common belief that first monsoon shower is good for hair.


But rain water is acidic and often carries pollutants, dust and chemicals. 


Repeatedly exposing scalp without washing hair afterwards,may increase irritation.


Reassuring thing is,


SEASONAL HAIR FALL IS TEMPORARY   !!!

Which is the country ??

  This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.


Question 


Official English name of which of these countries is  " truly natural state  " ??


1.   Argentina 


2.  Suriname 


3.  Brazil 


4.  Cuba 



Answer 


By reading the question, we can say that it is not an English speaking country  !!!


Looking at options, it is evident.


Now I have searched the web and listed down meanings of the countries   -------


1.   Cuba   

                  The name likely originated from Taino language spoken by indigenous people who lived on island before Spanish colonization.



2.  Brazil 

                  The name Brazil derived from Brazil wood tree which was the first major export of land during early colonial period.



3.   Argentina 

                     The name Argentina is derived from Latin word for silver, meaning  Silvery    !!!!



4.    Suriname 

                    Suriname us the most forested country in the world. It is frequently marketed as  "  Place in a true natural state  ".



Answer             SURINAME     !!!
