Friday evening puzzle

When I met Lia’s mom (see a couple of posts back) last evening, Lia mentioned to her mom and her sister about my FB posts. And quickly added that she totally skips my puzzles. Which gave me an idea to form a puzzle including Lia and see what she does about it 🙂

Lia and I, both Saturday morning runners at Fowler Park, decide to run together tomorrow morning. We agree to meet up between 6am  and 7am. Both of us are definitely going to arrive in that timeframe. But, since we were likely to reach there at different times, we agreed on the rule that upon reaching the trailhead, if one does not find the other waiting there, he/she will wait exactly for 20 minutes for the other person before proceeding to run by himself/herself. Of course, in the middle of the wait, if it becomes 7 am already, the person just goes ahead for the run alone, (realizing that the other person came earlier and must have left after waiting for 20 minutes.)

Question is what is the probability that we will actually get to run together?

Donald an 9/11

So, now Donald Trump is claiming that he would have prevented 9/11 fom happening. (http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/18/politics/donald-trump-jeb-bush-9-11/). Apparently, he had a deviously simple plan to advance daylight savings to go from 9/10 to directly to 9/12!!

Awesome joke from a colleague

After driving for a couple of hours from Portland to Corvallis, joined the local team leaders of our company for a quick drink. A very lively group that is awesome fun to be around – and the ring leader Kris Fausti is one of the funniest person you will ever get to know. The discussion at the table somehow veered towards who starts the fights at home – your spouse/significant other or you? Ok, dont ask me how we got there, but we got there.

Some admitted that they are the ones who start the tiffs, some took advantage of the lack of spouse/significant other’s absence and squarely blamed them. One even said 50-50.

But Kris had the most memorable response – “Wait. Being right does not count as starting a fight”!

I had to be picked up from the floor of the bar, I was laughing so hard!!

Game, set and match, Fausti!!
