Can you guess the answer to the following puzzles?

Mind Reader


1. Think of any important year for you  between 1910 and 1999 (possibly a birthday or anniversary).
2. Now, subtract from it the sum of the last 2 digit components of this date. For example, using the date 1908 (not in the puzzle range), subtract 0 + 8 to get the resulting date 1900.
3. Find this resulting date in the table and the symbol to the right to which it corresponds.
4. Now imagine mentally to yourself this symbol and Mind Reader will reveal the symbol you're thinking.
5. Click on the yellow square to see Mind Reader's answer.



Note: This one is tough and not many have been able to solve it. Here it is:
You have 3 pitchers of different sizes with no graduation markings at all. The 1st pitcher holds 8 gallons, the 2nd pitcher, 5 gallons and the 3rd pitcher, 3 gallons. The 1st pitcher is filled with water to the top, therefore holding 8 gallons of water. Without spilling any water you must transfer the water successively to the available pitchers so that you end up with a perfect 4 gallons in the 8 gallon pitcher. The sequence can be done 2 ways in 7 pours. Can you find both ways? Enter your pours with the 8 gallon pitcher on the left, 5 gallon pitcher in the middle, 3 gallon pitcher on the right showing the amount of water in each pitcher after each pour in the following format:

Initial Condition: 800
1st pour: 053
2nd pour: 350
3rd pour: 323
etc...
(The above example sequence, taken to completion, will finish with 440,
a correct answer, but can only be done in 8 pours, not 7, so...no good)

(For speed and convenience, use the tab key with your left hand to move to the next successive box and the keypad on your keyboard with your right hand to enter the numbers.)

Initial Condition: 800
Don't enter the initial condition as your first pour.

1st Sequence:     2nd Sequence  
1st pour:   1st pour::
2nd pour:   2nd pour:
3rd pour:   3rd pour:
4th pour:   4th pour:
5th pour:   5th pour:

Then there was the sound of a gunshot.

A Youth's Perspective

I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime. She would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us from E-mail.

One particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3.The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.' Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"

A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

An Altar boy was watching the Priest write his sermon for the day's Mass. The boy asked him " How do you know what to say?" The Priest responded "Why, God tells me." The boy answered, "Then why do you keep crossing things out?"

After the christening of his baby brother in church, little Johnny sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That priest said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I want to stay with you guys!"

The Sunday School Teacher asks, "Now, Johnny, tell me frankly do you say prayers before eating?"  "No sir," little Johnny replies, "I don't have to, my Mom is a good cook."

A college drama group presented a play in which one character would stand on a trap door and announce, "I descend into hell!" A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would open, and the character would plunge through.  The play was well received. When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. When the new actor announced, "I descend into hell!" the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend. One student in the balcony jumped up and yelled: "Hallelujah! Hell is full!"

A little child in church for the first time watched as the ushers passed the offering plates. When they neared the pew where he sat, the youngster piped up so that everyone could hear: "Don't pay for me Daddy, I'm under five."

Homily on Lying

A priest told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you all understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17." The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the priest asked for a show of hands of how many people had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The priest smiled and said, "Mark only has 16 chapters. I will know proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."

Fund Raising

A priest was preoccupied with his thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and, at the last minute, brought in a substitute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the priest paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we bugeted, and we need $4,000 more than expected. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." Just at that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star-Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
