  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  33. What are bones made of?

    ReplyDelete
  34. They are made of periosteum and hard materials to protect delicate organs in our body such as the heart, brain and the lungs. This is important to keep all the organs to perform their functions. This is important so that we will be able to carry out work smoothly.

    Another function of the bones is to keep our body in shape and support so that we will not flimsy.

    Also, it is for movement and to store fatty acids like the yellow bone marrow.
