finding a solution ... for information problems


Un caine se rătăceşte prin junglă. Plimbandu-se el liniştit vede un tigru îndreptandu-se în goană spre el, cu intenţia clară de a-l manca.
Cainele se gândeste: "Frate, am încurcat-o! Asta mă haleşte!" Dar imediat vede nişte oase pe jos. Se aşează pe burtă şi începe să roadă oasele, cu spatele la tigru.
Chiar înainte ca tigrul să sară, cainele exclamă satisfăcut, frecîndu-se pe burtă: "Mmmm, delicios tigru! Oare or mai fi si alţii p'aici?"
Auzind, tigrul îşi înabuşeşte elanul şi înfricoşat se prelinge pe lîngă copaci, luand distanţa: "A fost cat p'aci; cainele aproape m-a dat gata!"
O maimuta care a urmărit scena dintr-un copac, sperând sa se puna bine cu tigrul, fuge după acesta ca să-i povestească înşelatoria. Cainele o vede. Maimuta îl ajunge pe tigru, şi-i spune pe faţă toata tărăşenia. Tigrul, înecat de furie zice: "Urca în spinarea mea si vei vedea ce îi voi face nemernicului!"
Acum cainele vede tigrul cu maimuta în carca şi se gîndeste "Ei, cum o mai scot la capăt de data asta?" Dar în loc să fugă se întoarce cu spatele, prefăcîndu-se că nu i-a văzut. Şi... cînd aceştia au fost destul de aproape zice: "Unde oare e maimuta aia?; de juma' de oră am trimis-o să-mi aducă un tigru şi nici pînă acu nu s-a întors!!!"

How can this be true?


As you can see in the upper arrangement, we have put 2 triangles and 2 other shapes together in a "big" traingle ABC. This triangle is 13 X 5.
Now in the lower arrangements, we have the same 2 traingles and the same other 2 shapes, rearreanged in the SAME 13 X 5 big triangle ABC. BUT it looks like ONE SQUARE is not covered !!! HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE ???
Hint: I will disclose the cunniing brain manipulation next week, 4 the 1's that couldn't figure out.

Manipulating the Human Mind

Keith Barry is doing "Brain Magic" ...
just take a look at his performance!

His first warm-up trick on Manipulating the Human Mind is so simply that I needed some time to figure it out.
He took for a second HIS hands APART expainig how the fingers should be ... and when he put them BACK together, they were NOT in the same position. This is why turning them they were in a DIFFERENT position than the hands of anybody else from the audience.


Here is a snapshot of this moment when he took them apart. (he was meanwhile "expaining" something about the fingers. his explanations did "the brain manipulation" - the attention was focus on something else NOT on the important fact that he was taking them APART and putting them back in a different position)
Forgott 2 tell u ...
If you try to do the trick by yourself ... you will find out that I did not tell you WHAT he really did. WHAT means DIFFERENT position? I tried ... it was not simple. With try and error ... it is hard to manage. It is simple to find out, if you START from the END. Get the hands in the final position, turn them around and ... apart. Now you know HOW they must be in order to make the trick. Forgott 2 tell u ... that if your hands are so felxible ... it is enough to TURN the LEFT HAND by 360 degree (so that NOBODY is taking note of this movement) and putting them together ... will do this trick.
