Nope I haven't gone anywhere .. its just that i check dubaiforums only once a day. i thot this was real easy .. its SILENCE!!

And raina solving ur problem mathematically gives an answer of -2.25 which is practically impossible, so obviously your riddle has a catch.

i donn know how u guys tried mathematically..........


but this is how it should be

let my age be x.

3 years hence ....x+3

multiplied by 3 ....(x+3)3

substract the age by 3 * 3...... (x-3)3

=(x+3)3-(x-3)3 -*-=+
=3x+9-3x+9
=18

18 is my age :oops:

so now give me the largest integer value using four 1..s??

raina, is eros corect ??? :)

here is mine:

I am two-faced but bear only one, I have no legs but travel widely. Men spill much blood over me, kings leave there imprint on me. I have greatest power when given away, yet lust for me keeps me locked away. What am I?

A farmer built a fence around his 17 cows,in a square shaped region. He uses 27 fence poles on each side of the square.

nope he will not take 1 1/4 days i.e 30 hours .. because once he is at the 27th foot and he jumps 3 feet .. hes not going to slip 2 ft // so he takes 27 hours.. ..!
