A story with twist!

The story we know...



One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.

"Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe.

"Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

**************(The twist...)

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river.

When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez.



"Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord.. It is a misunderstanding.

You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez , You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three.

Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Jennifer Lopez."

Sex Amma : DU Beats

According to an article published in Hindustan Times:

Meet ‘Sex Amma’, Delhi University’s new-age sex-counsellor. DU Beat, the university’s student newspaper, on its website, describes sex amma as ‘wrapped in a crisp, golden-bordered traditional Keralite nine-yard; hair glistening with coconut oil and twirled in a garland of mullapuh (white jasmines); a dab of kumkum on her forehead, as she sits among aromatic candles and mountains of books on the most tabooed subject — SEX’.

Giselle Monteiro- Love Aaj Kal

When I first saw the trailers of "Love Aaj Kal", I instantly had a crush on harleen. Now, that I know that she is a Brazilian-born model and also just 19 years old she looks even more adorable.

"6174" and "495"

"6174" and "495" are two interesting numbers in number theory.

"6174" is Kaprekar's constant and "495" is pentatope number.

There is a common property of these two numbers.

Case 1:

1. Take any four-digit number with at least two digits different. (Leading zeros are allowed.)
2. Arrange the digits in ascending and then in descending order to get two four-digit numbers, adding leading zeros if necessary.
3. Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
4. Go back to step 2.

The above operation, known as Kaprekar's operation, will always reach 6174 in at most 7 steps and it stops there. Once 6174 is reached, the process will keep yielding 7641 – 1467 = 6174. For example, choose 3524:

5432 – 2345 = 3087
8730 – 0378 = 8352
8532 – 2358 = 6174


Case 2:

1. Start with a three-digit number with at least two digits different.
2. Arrange the digits in ascending and then in descending order to get two three-digit numbers, adding leading zeros if necessary.
3. Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
4. Go back to step 2.

Repeating this process will always reach 495 in a few steps. Once 495 is reached, the process stops because 954 – 459 = 495.

Example

For example, choose 598:

985 − 589 = 396
963 − 369 = 594
954 − 459 = 495

FYI: Dattaraya Ramchandra Kaprekar was an Indian mathematician who discovered many interesting properties in number theory. Having never received any formal postgraduate training, for his entire career (1930-1962) he was a schoolteacher at Nashik in Maharashtra, India.
