This must be a very simple teaser. Why no one has solved it yet ?

Two friends A and B set out for a morning walk around the Building on the defined Walking Path starting from the same point. A will finish his walk when he completes 10 rounds. A walks twice as fast as B. If they walk in the opposite direction how many times they cross each other when A finishes his walk ? If they walk in the same direction how many times A overtakes B before he finishes his walk.

Hi Ten OZ I gave more details as I could not have edited out here and there and shortened it without losing the Import the message will carry. I only changed "Gauri Lankesh was murdered in Bengaluru on Tuesday" to "Gauri Lankesh was murdered in Bengaluru" as that Tuesday was an year ago. Also, it will not be easy to grasp and understand the gravity of the Situation for those who are not in India. Imagine if Beef is banned in USA [India being the world's largest exporter] what will you feel ? What I mean is US Govt passes a Law that no one in US can eat Beef ! They have done that in India in most States ! This will give you a little more understanding of what these articles & Arun Shourie's Lecture has brought out. More later TY

Well they are called let's say RATIONALISTS which is perhaps well understood here in the Scientific Community which believes in Nothing but what is proven Scientifically. I give below a part of the list : Critics have raised questions on the safety of writers and journalists against after the killing of senior Kannada journalist Gauri Lankesh in Bengaluru. Lankesh called herself an ‘activist-journalist’ and was an outspoken critic of right-wing Hindutva politics. Lankesh’s death is being counted as the latest in a string of murders of ‘rationalist’ writers, including MM Kalburgi, Govind Pansare and Narendra Dabholkar. Here’s a list of some of the writers and journalists killed in recent years: MM Kalburgi The 77-year-old outspoken rationalist was killed in a manner similar to Lankesh. He fell to the bullets of two unidentified men at his residence in Dharwad, Karnataka in September 2015. The incident sent shock waves across the Kannada literary world and elsewhere in Karnataka. Govind Pansare Leftist leader and a prominent activist and rationalist, Govind Pansare was shot dead by two unidentified persons in February 2014 when he was returning home from his morning walk in Kolhapur. He died in Mumbai on February 20. Sanatan Sanstha activist Samir Gaikwad was arrested in connection with the murder, and later granted bail. Narendra Dabholkar On August 20, 2013, Dabholkar, a prominent anti-superstition crusader, was allegedly gunned down by two bike-borne men during his morning walk in Pune. According to a CBI charge sheet filed in September last year, Akolkar and Pawar, two members of the right-wing organisation Sanatan Sanstha, gunned down the rationalist. In June 2014, the case was handed over to the CBI after the Pune police failed to make any headway. Ranjan Rajdeo Ranjan, a journalist with Hindi daily Hindustan, was shot from close range by assailants on a motorcycle in May last year. He headed the paper’s bureau in Siwan, Bihar and had written extensively on the case involving Shrikant Bharti – an aide of BJP MP Om Prakash Yadav – who was shot dead in 2014. Also the Lynchings going on : Mob lynchings in India: A look at data and the story behind the numbers One of the most stinging descriptions of the dangers of mob violence never to be published (at least by the author in his lifetime) was Mark Twain’s response to a racial lynching in Missouri in 1901. He saw in it the danger of America turning into “The United States of Lyncherdom”. The secular republic of India, more than a century later, appears to be amidst the shadow of a similar fear. A recent report by IndiaSpend, basing itself on the content analysis of news reports, concludes that “In the first six months of 2017, 20 cow-terror attacks were reported–more than 75 per cent of the 2016 figure, which was the worst year for such violence since 2010. The attacks include mob lynching, attacks by vigilantes, murder and attempt to murder, harassment, assault and gang-rape. In two attacks, the victims/survivors were chained, stripped and beaten, while in two others, the victims were hanged.” Another analysis of mob violence and public disorder between January 2011 and June 2017 on Observer Research Analysis, shows that cow-related violence has spiked up dramatically from five per cent of the total incidents (of Lynching or Public Disorder) to over 20 per cent by the end of June 2017. The anguish against this recent mob violence has been palpable among a large section of the citizenry. It has recently led to series of protests and demonstrations (including the “Not In My Name” campaign) in many parts of the country. Everyone condemns mob lynching deaths, so what is the problem? There has already been a spate of opinion pieces in mainstream media over the murder of people by mob lynching in India. A common thread which emerges across the Right and the Left is that vigilantism and mob lynching should have no place in society. Its presence shows an inept law and order situation and prevents society from facing and handling other serious issues of development. However, going beyond the valid concern of law and order, there is also the dimension of a perceived escalation in such mob-violence over the past few years, and its relationship with the rise of the Right-wing in power. It has been eloquently pointed out that this recent spate of mob lynching indicates state indifference and a majoritarian denial of reality, that it is the deliberate persecution of minorities based on hate, an anti-Muslim feeling buoyed by the current Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-Bharatiya Janata Party dispensation, and that a lynching is a majority’s way of telling a minority population that the law cannot protect it. This rings out loud in the aftermath of legislations passed on cattle trade and the now infamous rise of cow vigilantism in India. There are however certain sections within the media who deny such perception any basis in reality. They point out to the gruesome history of mob violence and massacres in the past, particularly prior to the current central government, to state that lynching is essentially a law and order problem. They argue that there is only a “narrative” within a politically biased mainstream media, which seeks to hold the central BJP government and the RSS responsible and that a consequence of such “selective condemnation and bigotry”, is that it absolves law enforcement and drives away the moderates from the debate. The question, therefore, hinges on looking at the trends of such mob violence and lynchings in India in the recent past. Communal lynchings: A new form of hate crime In the absence of any official data on mob violence and lynching, news content could certainly serve as an important data sources with regard to such crimes. Some insightful characteristics can definitely be discerned by any such content analysis on mob violence. The authors of this piece did an exercise searching specifically for ‘mob lynching’ in ‘India’ on Google news between 2010 and 2017. The exercise is somewhat similar to that by IndiaSpend that uses different key words such as ‘cow vigilantes’, ‘gau rakshaks’, ‘beef’, ‘lynching’, ‘cow slaughter’, ‘cattle thieves’, ‘beef smuggler’ and ‘cattle trader’. The results of the IndiaSpend article have not been duplicated and can be found here separately. The biggest trend that could be observed from our data-set is that of the lynching of individuals by a mob acting as an executor of an extrajudicial punishment. It includes the lynching of individuals who have been accused of petty crimes, individuals accused of murder and rape, and individuals perceived by the mob as deviants. There have also been quite a few instances of mob-violence on the basis of race against African and African-American students and tourists. Apart from the incidents considered in our analysis there are three other prominent issues which merit an independent investigation and have not been included here as the incident count pertaining to them is too large. In addition, cases related to these issues are also often not reported. First are lynching deaths based on witch-hunting. These numbers are shocking in themselves. One report indicate that 2,097 such murders were committed between 2000 and 2012 in at least 12 states. The second type pertains to the historical issue of caste violence against Dalits. Caste atrocities often include lynching but are generally under-reported. The purpose behind these displays of violence in public is of course to intimidate by way of making an example. Curiously, one of the first widely reported instances of mob lynching based on bovine issues in recent times was based on a rumour of cow slaughter in 2002, where five Dalits from Haryana were lynched by a frenzied mob. The third includes lynching incidents which have occurred during riots or have been the instigating cause of riots (for instance in Muzzafarnagar as well as in Kokrajhar). These incidents are part of communal violence and rioting and must be considered separately. There is, then, a clear history of mob violence and lynching in India, reflecting a society with palpable remnants of pre-modern values -- the barbaric caste system being the most glaring example. This above listing of mob violence seen in conjunction with the data released by IndiaSpend (which cover a total of 101 cases), however, shows the creation of an entirely new category of violence -– bovine-related mob lynching deaths. This category has its own characteristics -- the victims are largely Muslims, the proximate causes often based on rumours, built upon the prejudices against a community. It is also revealing that the proportion of this type of lynching among all cases of mob violence has increased in the last three years.

Hi iNow I wanted to give the link to this Debate about what's going on in the Indian Democracy but then as I inserted the link it got embedded. Basically I want to say that INDIAN DEMOCRACY is almost Doomed & this can be realized only if what is being stated is understood. All the Intellectuals and Right thinking Citizens of India are under attack & either really or vicariously Muted or Eliminated. If anything is not understood because of use of Hindi words etc I can clarify. Of course I understand that the audience may need to know more about some issues before being able to appreciate the topic fully & therefore I can explain them further.

Unless I give below the link I can not do justice to the topic ! '2019 Election is the Last Chance for Indian Democracy'

I thought OP stands for Original Post. Perhaps we can also add OMG for Oh My God which I did not see in the list. A Summary : 50 Popular Internet & Texting Acronyms. List of Internet Acronyms And for Texting and WhatsApp : 50 Popular

Thank you for your vast info here and other posts too ! I will try my best to read as much as I could.

Some clean Jokes from memory Lane ! A word of advice : The most labor saving invention of today is : Some People cause happiness wherever they go; Others :

So, you support someone using the word 'bollocks' against me is it ? If I have friends like that I don't need Enemies !

You have used the word gibberish , zonked etc and earlier you used a word 'bollocks'

What is referred here as Pure Energy is the state of the Matter which has NO MASS , NO VOLUME and has Maximum possible Pressure in the Universe and the Maximum possible Temperature ! The Entire Universal Gravitational Pull causes this Pressure and Temperature and momentary loss of Volume and Mass. As more and more Energy piles on it expands and the reverse process of Energy to Massed Matter Conversion begins and the state of the matter begins to have Volume, Mass and lesser Temperature and Pressure

It should also be noted that when matter in mass-form reaches the Center of the Universe the Gravitational forces balance out and the acceleration will come to zero but not the velocity [which was accelerating so far] which might be perhaps the maximum velocity. Such will be the Bang into the Center and the decimation and conversion of mass into pure energy with equal and opposite force of collision.

What is the Cosmological Principle ? Can you give a narrative here and then we can compare ! What happens to mass and matter ? What happens to matter under Gravitational pull ? Why Electrons are supposed to be going around the nucleus Why the moon is going around the earth ? Why the earth is going around the Sun ? What is a black hole and what happens inside it ? Does the entire Black hole gravitate towards the rest of the matter of the universe or not ? We need to answer each question by the Models available !

Hi Strange and Mordred, I need a lot of Funds and support to experiment and give Evidence and perhaps an Organizational Support from CERN etc to conduct Experiments. However from my thinking and imagination I can always foresee and outline the Possibilities ! If you really want to know whether it is true just go out there and see as just how strange asked me to do ! So, in this my Model [ Walker's Model of the Universe] as I suggested there is a Constant Bang at the Originating Center of the Universe. It need not necessarily be a Blast etc but a Powerful Constant Pump from the Gravitational Force of the Whole Universe which with a Great Steady Pressure of the Order of Multi Blasts continuously. Massed matter coming to rest which is Omnidirectionally Pulled off by the rest of the matter and decimated. At this Pressure Center emanates a Steady Stream of Energy, Call it an Expansion like Balloon etc and the Emanated Pure Energy can be envisaged like a Massless Ether which expands and cuts through the rest of the matter having no effect on this Etherial Energy Balloon. But, remember this is an Ongoing Process of a High Pressure Blasting Pump because of which this Massless Etherial Energy Accelerates to very high Speed and similar to the Lorenz Transformation this Accelerating Energy gets mass [perhaps when it reaches the periphery of the Universe after reaching a very high momentum [speed cum Energy] and transforms itself to Fundamental Particles starting to be Bosons, photons, Electrons, Neutrons and Positrons etc. After this transformation the reverse process of Gravitation affecting Masses takes place and every conceivable Entity of Matter such as particles, atoms, molecules, entities, bodies, planets, stars , galaxies , black holes etc are newly formed while constantly interacting with the existing ones eventually all go back to their Origin to get Decimated and rejuvenated into Pure Etherial Energy and such a CONSTANT BIG BANG is a CONTINUOUS PROCESS !

What the Balloon Analogy is intended to describe: (1) The universe is expanding OUTSIDE of systems that are gravitationally bound, or bound by other local forces (e.g. strong and weak forces) That is, things the size of a local cluster of galaxies and smaller (like, the Milky Way, Earth, you, me, atoms, and so forth), do NOT expand. (2) The expansion has no center, and everything is moving away from everything else, with things farther from each other receding faster from each other than things closer together. Doesn't seem to be meaningful : What I have stated in my Model looks more believable than this Balloon Analogy.

All matter gravitate towards the Rest of the Matter in the Universe and moves towards the Gravitational Force Center of the Universe. At this Center the Mass of the matter becomes zero as it comes to a dead stop but gets pulled apart gravitationally by the Rest of the Matter and gets decimated. This is similar to the Big Bang Process most Scientists are familiar with but a Continuous Bang Process which goes on decimating every matter reaching there. At an interval of One Universal Time Unit [Average] every matter will be at the Center and it is Equality of Matter. You, me and every Particle within us and every bit of matter on Earth, Space, Sun, Moon and even Black holes are not exception to this Process and over Billions of say Light Years of the order of which is the Average Universal Time Unit this cycle will happen. Big Bang is Continuously on. The entire Mass of the Matter gets decimated into the most fundamental purest form of Energy which is omni directionally exploded and what is normally described after a Big Bang befalls this Energy Stream. All matter is transparent to this Energy stream which can cut through them all and as it speeds through space it gains mass and can transform into Fundamental Particles, Such massed particles and atoms and bodies made from them [All fundamental Forces including Gravity starts acting over them - thermo nuclear and Electrochemical reactions etc] . Thereby the matter goes through Events and Experiences in its participation and interaction with the rest of the Universe until it gravitates back to its Origin. That Big Bang Process can not be created anywhere else other than the Center Of the Universe. Other Blasts, Explosions including Nuclear, Star Action, and every other conceivable phenomena do release Energy and Force but none of these can convert mass into that Purest Energy Stream coming out of the Bang !

tar : 12 identical sections of the Sphere as you have indicated with 12 Squares drawn on the Spherical surface and if cut off at the 14 Points of intersections [6 intersections having 4 lines meeting and 8 intersections having 3 lines meeting] results in 12 rhombus shapes of the Polyhedron left. This is precisely the Polyhedron which will be created by BOXING THE CUBE as I mentioned elsewhere. That is , planes are attached so as to create a 4 lined ROOFS on each of the 6 Faces of the Cube in a SYMMETRICAL WAY. But alas it will have to retain the eight 3 lined Corners of the parent Cube though with flatter non- 90 Deg Roof Angles lines rotated from the Original Cube. Because of this eight intersections have 3 lines meeting points [just like the cube's corners. Along with these 8 six more newly erected 4 lined corners one on top of each face of the Cube adds up to 14 Corners / Intersections. Because of these 3 line / 4 line corners [each rhombus having 2 four lined corners and 2 three lined corners] we have Rhombus shapes and not Squares on the Polyhedron. I need to confirm what should be their Angles. Therefore, Boxing a Tetrahedron Symmetrically produces a perfect Cube Boxing a Cube Symmetrically produces a 12 faced Polyhedron with equal Rhombus faces. If we bloat up each Polyhedron to Spherical Surfaces we have 4 Triangles drawn on the Sphere for tetrahedron, 6 Squares drawn for Cube and 12 Squares drawn for this 12 faced Rhombus hedron. Splitting each square face of the Cubic bloat-up will produce 24 faced Polyhedron. Strangely, there is no way of producing 8 equal Square faces on the Sphere, Using 2 tetrahedrons in a mirror tilt may produce 8 equidistant points on the surface of the Sphere but connecting them may again result in Triangular shapes and not squares. Regards

imatfaal : Thank you. Yes, I see the possibilities now more clearly. Both Square and Pentagon can be used to have 12 identical Sections. 12 Triangles can also be used with identical but not equilateral shapes. This is the only possibility where the sphere is cut into 4 through Cuts ie. One horizontal and three Vertical Cuts every time passing through the center of the sphere splitting it into two. tar : Thank you, yes I agree Janus & tar : Thank you for the good illustrations !

I don't think we can have 12 identical Sections comprising of the entire Solid Sphere with sphere's surface section cut to look like Square or higher polygons. Only identical Spherical Triangles are possible which is quite obvious.
