Comments on: Test Your Lateral Thinking Skills! http://www.fwdemails.com/2009/10/07/test-your-lateral-thinking-skills/ A collection of funny, cool & intersting forwarded emails Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:47:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nuri http://www.fwdemails.com/2009/10/07/test-your-lateral-thinking-skills/comment-page-1/#comment-5319 Nuri Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:33:55 +0000 http://www.fwdemails.com/?p=1757#comment-5319 I knoew most of them already. It's funny that #2 won't work in Spanish, as almost all occupations have different word endings for female and male (in this case, cirujano is a male surgeon and cirujana a female one), and even the gender-neutral occupation names give away the gender through the article. Yes, one could use the generic masculine to present the problem, but some people would see it as a cheat. For #4 to work properly it should place the birthday on a leap year, sine Feb. 28 and March 1st are only ONE day away on 3 out of four years, as it's made clear on the solution (or rephrase the solution).
