Zhi Ting, you can see the Channel NewsAsia thingy ab out swine flu att http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-sg&vid=99e23670-198a-4083-9cc9-dbe226be6124&from=imbot_en_sg_default&fg=rss.
Hazique, It's so easy! Of course it's Leonardo da Vinci! And the question about the lamps was interesting! I have another riddle: The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... " The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is unusual about the paragraph above?
Hint: Look closely at the words, what do they all have in common?
The answer will be posted at 3:40pm later. Tune in.
Ok here is the answer for the riddle: --------------------------------------------- the letter 'E' is a commonly used vowel in the English language. But in this paragraph, it isn't even being used! Check to see for yourself.
