Can You Solve This?
Dr. Uncle and Aunty came by for a surpise visit on Monday morning. They are from Chicago, and we hardly get to see them, but in the past month they have stopped over at our place twice! 
Dr. Uncle is great and always brings good logical questions/puzzles to do.
Here is the latest one he brought on Monday. First one to solve both problems correctly will get a prize!
1. You went to a zoo where they had some birds and some animals. you asked the zookeeper how many birds and animals the zoo has. The zookeeper said we have 30 heads and 100 feet. So how many birds and animals do they have?
2. You are given $100 to buy 100 animals. Each cow is $10, each pig is $3, and each chicken is 50 cents. You have to buy atleast one of each animal - and the seller will pay the tax.
Good luck!
Alvida. Jai Mata Di.

I think i know the answer for first…
there are 20 animals and 10 birds…is that rite?
June 9th, 2005 at 3:45 pm
Yes… there are 20 animals and 10 birds for first
June 9th, 2005 at 5:44 pm
1. 20 animals and 10 birds is right
2. 5 cows @ $10 = $50
1 pig @ $3 = $3
94 chickens @ $0.50 = $47.00
total = 100 animals @ $100.
I win, i win! So watz my prize?

Did you know that my full name is Madhurima… Ab sonu nigam’s wife’s name is the same is a news to me…:D..
But the split.. OMG!! and not talking living together.. that would surely be hard!!!
June 10th, 2005 at 4:07 pm
Congrats Pareeka you will be awarded with a gift on Saturday.
I did know that your name was Madhurima.
I can’t believe about their split either, and they living together. That’s the first time I have heard that.

Cool…………. i wonder what it’s gonna be
June 11th, 2005 at 5:58 am
Great! I missed it…
In any case I knew all the answers
Pareeka:!: Your gift will be virtual only
June 12th, 2005 at 1:16 pm
I missed it too:banghead: Oh well, better luck next time. This time, Pareeka could take the gift:grin:
June 12th, 2005 at 7:15 pm
yup Ankur, its gonna be a virtual prize only…..still i wonder what it will be…….
Im sure you did know the answers (NOT!!!:no:) :rotfl::rotfl:
But no way to test that now
June 13th, 2005 at 6:05 am
I knew all of them.. as they are provided above ;)
But Pareeka, don’t under-estimate Poonam… as she may buy you some Domain name (pareeka.com) and Web-Space… those are virtual things too
June 13th, 2005 at 5:28 pm
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: very nicely answered Ankur!!!!:hyper:
My own blog hey? Now that would be a very intersting prize indeed. Actually i have been tossing the idea of my own blog around myself, but have yet to follow through with the idea because of the time that would be required to maintain the blog……
June 13th, 2005 at 8:23 pm
Next post — pakka!! Your gift is coming.
June 13th, 2005 at 9:44 pm
No worries Poonam. Take your time…..after all it does take time to come up with the perfect gift for the perfect person doesnt it?

Pareeka if u can write such big comments am sure u can write a bit for ur own blog too :P well so hurry up n get it done…
June 14th, 2005 at 4:57 pm
Kunal, I think thats probably the biggest comment that i’ve ever written since i’ve been commenting………..
As to the idea of creating my own blog……i’ll see……..which reminds me where’s ur blog huh? Whats your excuse?
June 15th, 2005 at 4:29 am
My blog ! nah… i would hv no clue what to write… n on top if i do write no one comes n read then i am going to be :banghead::banghead: lol so…
but i hv couple of ideas which i want to implement… some are like 80% done just the last 20% remaining…
neways what exactly do u do ?
June 15th, 2005 at 5:20 pm
What exactly do i do? hmmmm if ur meaning do i have some sort of computer background
then no :no:.
Job wise, im currently in Accounts Receivable department….and you wanna know the ironic part?…I absolutely hated accounting in uni. I get extremely bored here as the job is so easy but I probably shouldn’t complain as less on the job stress means i can concentrate better on my studies
The way i calculate it, another 18mths max. then im it’ll be bye bye accounting 
After that i want to get into the financial sector….
Since you already have 80% of the ideas thought up that u want to implement mean that you will be starting ur own blog once you’ve thought of the other 20%?
Dont worry yaar, of course there’ll be people visiting your blog…….even if its purely out of obligation rather than any intense desire to read anything that you’ve written!:grin:
C’mon Kunal, dont be :grumpy::cry::censored:………you know i was only joking.
Perhaps you should start the blog with the 80% ideas that you already have and then implement the other 20% as they come to you……what do u think? Good idea?……yeah of course it is :yes::yes::yes:
June 15th, 2005 at 5:26 pm
I forgot to mention that i was doing my Masters in Applied Finance……its alot of
but the fiance sector in Australia is booming at the moment.
What about urself? U probably told us all during the blog meet but i have to confess that i’ve forgotten:oops:
