CULTURAL QA 04202426 Q1 What are some useful basic math tricks that most people don't know about?
KR As usual someone west does something; and another stupis says “yes sir 3 bags full and also says I did it and he is correct; Maths tricks so many here including myself had written here; at that time the stupid did not read; but when some west says something, his ears pricks? Am I correct about you sir your character which I always described and still you hold high tongue? INDIA HAS ONE BY NAME SHULPA SUTRA VEDIC MATHS WHICH YOU HAVE NOT LEARNT SO YOU THINK QUORA IS LEARNED RIGHT? Q2 What are some mind-blowing facts that sound unreal but are actually true? KR Truth will never sound unreal that is a fallacy. Again west glory. 1. “Albert Einstein” is an anagram for “ten elite brains.” KR What kind of anagram one has to steal from west? Is it that name? Don’t we have vikatakavi, Sivaji vayile jilepi in tamil? Samskritham is KASHMIRS MAT ;KALIDASAN=SALAD AKIN; INDRA IS NADIR THE PEAK;SO ON SO FORTH. 2. You don’t poop or pee burnt fat, you exhale it. So yes, you lose weight by breathing. KR True and many doctors might have told us 3. We went to the moon before we put wheels on suitcases. KR true patented only 1970 4. Millions of people wake up at the exact same second from using their cell phone as an alarm clock. KR This is unverifiable as may or may not since words used millions in billion is tricky 5. In any given year, the dates 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12, and the last day of February will all occur on the same day of the week. KR True But had you played the reason that would have shown you applied your mind which I am asking you to do; the reason is so simple as in Maths number 9; Indeed, those dates all fall on Thursdays because they are exactly 63 days apart from each other. In a non-leap year, like 2019, each day of the week advances by one day from one date to the next date that is 63 days later. This is because there are 7 days in a week, and 63 is a multiple of 7. 6. One of the ingredients necessary to make dynamite is peanuts. KR Again you failed to say the correct one and the reason; it is not peanut but its oil as a chemical compound; the mention of "peanut in dynamite" likely refers to a historical fact rather than a direct combination of the two items. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, discovered that when he mixed nitro-glycerine with an absorbent substance like diatomaceous earth or clay, it became much safer to handle and transport. One of the absorbents he used was peanut oil. Nobel found that mixing nitro-glycerine with an absorbent material made it less prone to accidental detonation, effectively creating a stable explosive that could be safely handled. While peanut oil was one of the absorbents used in early dynamite formulations, it's not directly related to modern peanut nuts. It's an interesting historical titbit about the development of dynamite and Nobel's contributions to explosives technology. 7. Umbrellas were once only used by women. KR Cannot say exactly A hunch on fashion day practice; but umbrella was much used only by men in England; as the habit of grace to women. 8. When your cheeks blush, your stomach does the same. KR Believed to be so; not all times; but without any reason outside stomach will readjust when you will feel stomach muscle impact. 9. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match. KR again repeated Q4 What are the most ironic facts you know? 1. The first man to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel died after slipping on an orange peel. KR The story you're referring to is about Annie Edson Taylor, who was indeed the first person to successfully go over Niagara Falls in a barrel and survive. She accomplished this feat on October 24, 1901. However, she did not die by slipping on an orange peel.Annie Edson Taylor did face financial difficulties later in life and was often in poor health, but she passed away on April 29, 1921, due to natural causes. 2. The building holding the patent to the fire hydrant burned down in 1836. KR Patent related to fire hydrants, there have been numerous patents related to fire hydrant designs and improvements over the years. There is no specific information indicating that the patent for John J. Smith's early fire hydrant design "burned." 3. Charles Darwin, infamous for his theory of evolution and survival of the fittest, married his cousin. KR Yes: Charles Darwin married his first cousin, Emma Wedgwood. They were married on January 29, 1839. Emma was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood II, a pottery industrialist and the nephew of Charles Darwin's maternal grandfather, Josiah Wedgwood. Marrying cousins was not uncommon during the Victorian era, especially among families of wealth and social standing. Despite their close relation, Charles and Emma had a loving and supportive marriage, and they had ten children together. Q5 Why do Brahmins wear white thread, and what is its advantage? KR After reading all, not even able to write the right material?
