yea,right...

try this one:


A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of £50 notes out of his wallet.
He turns to the rich man and says to him,
"I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed."
The rich man laughs.
The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it."
The rich man laughs again and says, "OK, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?"
The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What song did he sing?

yea right....

this one....

This is an unusual paragraph. i am curious how quickly you can find out whats so unusual about it. it looks so plain you would think nothings wrong with it. in fact, nothing is wrong with it. it is unusual though. study it, and think about it but you still may not find anything odd.
but if you work at it a bit, you might find out. try to do so without any coaching. good luck!

no eros..
the paragraph has no letter "E"...


try this easy one:

I'm in a zoo
But not in a jungle
I rarely come in pairs
But I'm in every puzzle

Some think I'm in a xylophone
But, I most certainly am not
You don't see me with a loan
But very strangely in a zealot

I'm in the magical prison of Azkaban
Well, can't you see?
I'm in the buzz of a fan
But, my oh my what could I be?

this one;

A rich old lady died and left all her money to her grandchildren and her children. At the end of the will she stated that she had one last thing to give away: her precious diamond. She gave a clue to where it might be. She said "it's in a cylinder surrounded by a thousand squares." One grandchild said, "I know where it is," and found it. Where was it?

try this much easier one:

Once upon a time, in the West Lake village, a servant lived with his master. After service of about 30 years, his master became ill and was going to die. One day, the master called his servant and asked him for a wish. It could be any wish but just one. The master gave him one day to think about it. The servant became very happy and went to his mother for discussion about the wish. His mother was blind and she asked her son for making a wish for her eye-sight to come back. Then the servant went to his wife. She became very excited and asked for a son as they were childless for many years. After that, the servant went to his father who wanted to be rich and so he asked his son to wish for a lot of money. The next day he went to his master and made one wish through which all the three (mother, father, wife) got what they wanted. You have to tell what the servant asked the master.

toughie? i don't think so :) ....


It is the Guinness Book of Records, after 19 years of publication, became the second-best-selling book of all time and therefore got into itself.


***Now this is a hard one, try it...

There is a book that was once owned by only the rich, but now can be owned by almost anyone. You can't buy it in a bookstore or check it out of the library.
What book is it?

eros, ur getting so smart ha.... :)


what about this one:

A man worked for a high-security institution, and one day he went in to work only to find that he could not log in to his computer terminal. His password wouldn't work. Then he remembered that the passwords are reset every month for security purposes. So he went to his boss and they had this conversation:
Man-"Hey boss, my password is out of date."
Boss-"Yes, that's right. The password is different, but if you listen carefully you should be able to figure out the new one: It has the same amount of letters as your old password, but only four of the letters are the same."
Man: "Thanks boss."
With that, he went and correctly logged into his station.
What was the new password?
BONUS: What was his old password?
