আল কায়দার উত্তরাধিকার নিয়ে তীব্র উত্তেজনা: মুখোমুখী আমিনী ও জলি

স্পষ্টতই এখন জঙ্গি রাজনীতি দুটি গ্রুপে বিভক্ত হয়ে গেছে। একটি গ্রুপের নেতৃত্ব দিচ্ছে ইসলামী ঐক্যজোট নেতা মুফতি মাওলানা আমিনী। অপর গ্রুপের নেতৃত্ব দিচ্ছেন সদ্য ইসলাম গ্রহনকারী হলিউড তারকা আঞ্জুমান আরা জলি।

হরতালে বাধা দিলে রাস্তায় দাঁড়িয়ে পিসু করবো:

জামায়াতি বলেন, আমাদের মূল দাবি সেফ হোমে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদের সময় ব্যবহৃত ডিমগুলো অতি নিম্নমানের। অবিলম্বে সেফ হোমে উন্নতমানে ডিমের সরবরাহ নিশ্চিত করতে হবে।লামা মাশায়েখ পরিষদের আহুত কর্মসূচি কেউ মানবে কিনা তা জানতে চাইলে তিনি বলেন, রাজনীতিতে ‘ছাগলের তিন নম্বর ছাও’ বলে কোন কথা নাই।

জলি
"কম্বোডিয়ার একটি দোকানের সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে তোলা ছবি। সম্প্রতি কম্বোডিয়া সফরে গিয়েছিলেন জলি। তখন ছবিটি তোলা হয়। এর জন্য বাড়তি কোন স্টাইল বা ফ্যাশনের দ্বারস্থ হননি এই তারকা। সতর ঢাকতে শুধু একটা বোরখা চাপিয়ে নিয়েছেন দেহের ওপর।
নামকরা একটি ব্র্যান্ডের এক কর্তাব্যক্তি বললেন, ছবিটি মনে ধরেছে খুব। কারণ, ইসলাম ধর্ম গ্রহণ করার পর জলি প্লেবুর্কা ছাড়া অন্যান্য পত্রিকায় পোজ দেয়া বন্ধ করে দিয়েছেন। এটা ব্যতিক্রম।"

অস্ট্রেলিয়ার নাগরিকত্ব পেতে যাচ্ছেন শাবনূর

নাগরিকত্বের আবেদন মঞ্জুর হবার খবর নিশ্চিত হবার পর অস্ট্রেলিয়ার বিখ্যাত তারকা হিউ জ্যাকম্যানের সাথে ‘উলভারিনের প্রেম’ নামক একটি সিনেমায় অভিনয়ের জন্য চুক্তিবদ্ধ হয়েছেন তিনি।

ম্যাকে হামলার পরিকল্পনা হ্যাকারদের

কম্পিউটার হ্যাকারদের একটি দল অ্যাপলের ম্যাকিনটোশ কম্পিউটারে হামলা চালানোর পরিকল্পনা নিয়েছে। তারা এমন একটি ভাইরাস ছড়াবে, যা দেখলে মনে হবে অ্যান্টিভাইরাস সফটওয়্যার। ম্যাকের ওস এক্সকে লক্ষ্য করে তৈরি করা এসব ভাইরাস দেখতে বেশ পেশাদার। এখানে বানান বা ব্যাকরণগত কোনো ভুল নেই। বাটনগুলোও খুব আকর্ষণীয়। ভাইরাসের বাটন সম্পর্কে জানতে চেয়ে মতিবেদক তাকে জিজ্ঞেস করেন, আকর্ষনীয় বাটনগুলো ক্যাটস আই নাকি মনসুন রেইনের তৈরি?

Amidst a tangled web

brain teasers

It's fun to solve brain teasers and I've heard your brain is like a muscle. If you exercise it (by teasing it) you'll have a fit brain. Even if that's not true, I still like to solve them. If you know of any more good ones please send them in. It can also be useful to know how to solve these for job interviews. For some reason interviewers think if you know how to solve puzzles and can think quickly you'll be an ideal employee. Have fun :)

By moving one of the following digits, make the equation correct. 62 - 63 = 1

You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?

Solution »

Take the chicken over first. Go back and bring the grain next, but instead of leaving the chicken with the grain, come back with the chicken. Leave the chicken on the first side and take the fox with you. Leave it on the other side with the grain. Finally, go back over and get the chicken and bring it over.

You have 12 black socks and 12 white socks mixed up in a drawer. You're up very early and it's too dark to tell them apart. What's the smallest number of socks you need to take out (blindly) to be sure of having a matching pair?

Solution »

3 socks. If the first sock is black, the second one could be black, in which case you have a matching pair. If the second sock is white, the third sock will be either black and match the first sock, or white and match the second sock.

Three travelers register at a hotel and are told that their rooms will cost $10 each so they pay $30. Later the clerk realizes that he made a mistake and should have only charged them $25. He gives a bellboy $5 to return to them but the bellboy is dishonest and gives them each only $1, keeping $2 for himself. So the men actually spent $27 and the bellboy kept $2 - what happened to the other dollar of the original $30?

Solution »

Nothing. The 3 travelers paid a total of $27, making $25 for the hotel and $2 for the clerk. There is no missing $1.

You are the bus driver. At your first stop, you pick up 29 people. On your second stop, 18 of those 29 people get off, and at the same time 10 new passengers arrive. At your next stop, 3 of those 10 passengers get off, and 13 new passengers come on. On your fourth stop 4 of the remaining 10 passengers get off, 6 of those new 13 passengers get off as well, then 17 new passengers get on. What is the color of the bus driver's eyes?

Solution »

The eye color of the reader of this problem. The first sentence is the key: "You are the bus driver"

U2 has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them.

The flashlight must be walked back and forth. It cannot be thrown and other tricks like that are not needed to solve the problem. The solution is simply a matter of allocating resources in a certain order. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:

Bono: 1 minute to cross
Edge: 2 minutes to cross
Adam: 5 minutes to cross
Larry: 10 minutes to cross

For example: if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.

Solution »

You get to figure this one out on your own. If you're having a hard time, here's a hint: There is a valid answer that doesn't require tricks like throwing the flashlight or shining it backwards or having some other means of moving the flashlight.

There's an assumption people often make that keeps you from solving this. Two members cross the bridge each time, but neither one of the two the crossed need to return. Think about how that would be possible. If you're still stuck, use objects to simulate their movement. Use whatever you have laying around - pens, paper, erasers - and move them back and forth. Good luck!

Why is it very common to have a 9 minute snooze interval on alarm clocks, why not 10 instead?

Solution »

By setting the snooze time to 9 minutes, the alarm clock only needs to watch the last digit of the time. So, if you hit snooze at 6.45, the alarm goes off again when the last digit equals 4. They couldn't make it 10 minutes, otherwise the alarm would go off right away, or it would take more circuitry.

A bookworm eats from the first page of an encyclopedia to the last page in a straight line. The encyclopedia consists of ten 1000-page volumes and is sitting on a bookshelf in the usual order. Not counting covers, title pages, etc., how many pages does the bookworm eat through?

Solution »
```
__                             __
      B|  |                           |  |F

       |__|                           |__|T
       ---------------------------------- 
 
```
On a book shelf the first page of the first volume is on the "inside", so the bookworm eats only through the cover of the first volume, then 8 times 1000 pages of Volumes 2 - 9, then through the cover to the 1st page of Vol 10 for a total of 8,000 pages.

An 18-wheeler is crossing a 4 kilometer bridge that can only support 10,000 kilograms and that's exactly how much the rig weighs. Halfway across the bridge a 30 gram sparrow lands on the cab, but the bridge doesn't collapse. Why not?

Solution »

Since the bridge is 4 kilometers long, the halfway point would be 2 kilometers. The 18-wheeler would have used much more than 30g of fuel to drive 2 kilometers.

You are a cook in a remote area with no clocks or other way of keeping time other than a four minute sandglass timer and a seven minute sandglass timer. (The kind you turn over - hourglass shaped) You do have a stove, however, with water in a pot already boiling. Somebody asks you for a nine-minute egg, and you know this person is a perfectionist and will be able to tell if you undercook or overcook the eggs by even a few seconds. What is the least amount of time it will take to prepare the egg? And how will you prepare it so that it is neither undercooked or overcooked?

Solution »

The answer is 9 minutes. First, flip both hourglasses over and drop the egg into the water. When the four minute timer runs out, flip it again. When the seven minute timer runs out, flip it over. The egg has been cooking seven minutes. Now when the four minute timer runs out again (after eight minutes) flip the seven minute timer back over. Since the seven minute timer has been running only a minute between flips, there's a minute worth of sand left. And when that minute runs out, the egg will have been cooking for exactly nine minutes.

I am the owner of a pet store. If I put in one canary per cage, I have one bird too many. If I put in two canaries per cage, I have one cage too many. How many cages and canaries do I have?

Solution »

Four canaries and three cages.

If you put one canary in each cage, you have an extra bird without a cage. However, if you put two canaries in each cage then you have two canaries in the first cage, two canaries in the second cage and an extra cage.

Here is a series of numbers. What is the next number in the sequence?
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

Solution »

The next number in the sequence is 1113213211, because the rule for creating the next number is to simply describe the previous number. For example, you start of with 1, with is simply one 1, so the next number is 11. Now you have two 1's, so the next number is 21. Now you have one 2 and one 1, so the next number is 1211. The solution is to simply continue describing the previous number using only numbers.

You are standing outside a closed door. On the other side of the door is a room that has three light bulbs in it. The room is completely sealed off from the outside. It has no windows and nothing can get in or out except through the door. On the outside of the room there are three light switches that control each of the respective light bulbs on the other side of the door.

Your assignment is to determine which light switch controls which light bulb. You are allowed to enter the room only once, and once you come out, you must be able to state with 100% certainty which light switch controls which light bulb.

Solution »

Turn one light switch on, wait a few minutes, then turn it off and turn another light switch on. Go into the room and feel the light bulbs. The one that's still warm is connected to the switch that you first turned on, the one that is on was the second switch you turned on, and the last bulb is controlled by the switch that you didn't touch.

If a bottle and a cork cost a dollar and a nickel, and the bottle costs a dollar more than the cork, how much does the cork cost?

Solution »

Most people guess 5¢, but $1 more than 5¢ is $1.05, and if the bottle cost $1.05, the bottle and the cork would be $1.10, not $1.05. The cork actually costs 2½¢ and the bottle costs a dollar more, or $1 and 2½¢, making the total $1.05.

During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

Solution »

She walked on the bridge towards Switzerland for 3 minutes and just as the guard was about to come out, she turned around walking back to Germany. The guard saw her and asked for her pass but she didn't have one and was sent back (or what the guard thought was back) to Switzerland. In her case it was the very country she wanted to go to.

You are given eight coins and told that one of them is counterfeit. The counterfeit one is slightly heavier than the other seven. Otherwise, the coins look identical. Using a simple balance scale, can you determine which coin is counterfeit using the scale only once?

Solution »

I tricked you. It can't be done with just one try. But it can be done if you use the scale twice. Weigh three coins with three other coins. If they're the same, then weigh the two remaining coins and the heavier one is the counterfeit. If one of the groups of three was heavier, weigh two of that group of three. If they're even, the third is the counterfeit. Otherwise, the heavier one is the counterfeit.

You are given eight coins and told that one of them is counterfeit. The counterfeit one is slightly heavier than the other seven. Otherwise, the coins look identical. Using a simple balance scale, can you determine which coin is counterfeit using the scale only twice?

Solution »

First weigh three coins against three others. If the weights are equal, weigh the remaining two against each other. The heavier one is the counterfeit. If one of the groups of three is heavier, weigh two of those coins against each other. If one is heavier, it's the counterfeit. If they have equal weight, the third coin is the counterfeit.

I was visiting a friend one evening and remembered that he had three daughters. I asked him how old they were. "The product of their ages is 72," he answered. Quizzically, I asked, "Is there anything else you can tell me?" "Yes," he replied, "the sum of their ages is equal to the number of my house." I stepped outside to see what the house number was. Upon returning inside, I said to my host, "I'm sorry, but I still can't figure out their ages." He responded apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that my oldest daughter likes strawberry shortcake." With this information, I was able to determine all of their ages. How old is each daughter? You have enough information to solve the puzzle.

Solution »

3, 3, and 8. The only groups of 3 factors of 72 to have non-unique sums are 2, 6, 6 and 3, 3, 8 (both add up to 14). The presence of a single oldest child eliminates 2,6,6.

You're in a room with two doors. There's a guard at each door. One door is the exit, but behind the other door is something that will kill you. You're told that one guard always tells the truth and the other guard always lies. You don't know which guard is which. You are allowed to ask one question to either of the guards to determine which door is the exit. What question should you ask?

Solution »

Ask either guard what door the other guard would say is the exit, then choose the opposite door.

If you ask the guard who always tells the truth, he knows the other guard would lie, so he'll point you to the door leading to death. If you ask the guard who always lies, he knows the other guard would truthfully show you the exit, so he'll lie and point you to the door leading to death.

You are a prisoner sentenced to death. The Emperor offers you a chance to live by playing a simple game. He gives you 50 black marbles, 50 white marbles and 2 empty bowls. He then says, "Divide these 100 marbles into these 2 bowls. You can divide them any way you like as long as you use all the marbles. Then I will blindfold you and mix the bowls and marbles up. You can then choose one bowl and remove one marble. If the marble is white, you live, but if the marble is black...you die.

How do you divide the marbles up so that you have the greatest probability of choosing a white marble?

Solution »

Place 1 white marble in one bowl, and place the rest of the marbles in the other bowl (49 whites, and 50 blacks).

This way you begin with a 50/50 chance of choosing the bowl with just one white marble and living. But even if you choose the other bowl, you still have an almost 50% chance of picking one of the 49 white marbles. There are no guarantees in life, but this is your best bet at surviving.

Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.

God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched her passing away. Although so many people loved her dearly, but they could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Love Poems

Love poems that tug the heart string and ignite the soul

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” may say just what you’re thinking, but if the love of your life knows his or her Shakespeare, you may find yourself all alone and wondering “what light through yonder window breaks.”

That’s because the real line of love spoken by Juliet was actually, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
