Do you think you are Genius? – Test it

geniuspuzzle.gifAre you a genius? If you think this is a silly question and doesn’t deserve to ask for, then let me test how genius you are.

Actually I am not genius enough to test others but I have three great puzzles that could surely make you understand your capability. I came across these three fantastic puzzle called The Riddles of Sphinx, Enigma and a simple one called Hacker Puzzle that will surely make you insane….lol.

Ok for a start let me explain from the beginning level of these puzzle.

Test your level 1 with Hacker Puzzle:
Hacker puzzle is all about thinking like a hacker. You have to use your common sense to navigate to 23 pages from the first one. The trick is to go to find the way to each page where you will get hints for next page. My say is that you don’t even need to be a hacker to solve this easy puzzle.
Solved the first one? Ok! But don’t conclude yourself as genius until you finish the other 2 puzzles.

Level 2 with Enigma:
Enigma is a puzzle game inspired by the enigma machines used by Nazis before and during World War II to encrypt and decrypt secret messages. So your talent hides in decrypting each page and passing successfully to next level. You should be a geek to win this game. Absolutely ardent knowledge in technology is recommended to touch this game.

Level3 with the Sphinx:
Finished the second level? Hmmm. Ok! Take the final test that proves you as genius. The riddle of Sphinx is a puzzle which requires an Extra Terrestrial Intelligence to win. Developed by students of Anna University this game is about breaking codes using the available and hidden resources in the page. My recommendations are to use Google search as your weapon and also source codes of the page to break things well.

Feel free to share your status and discuss about the puzzle in comments!

Computer virus can kill a human?

compvirus.gifYeah absolutely this topic looks weird but for weird people I got to say something. In my experience I have met people who don’t even know the difference between a computer virus and a biological virus.

Considering the above case, FlexBeta reports a funny real incident happened in Pakistan. An effective Rumor has spread around Pakistan regarding a virus spreading across phone that kills people. The prank message stated that a deadly virus has already killed 20 people and spreading fast. We already might heard about many rumors which sounds logical but yet not believable but this prank message has no logic at all which connects a computer virus with biological virus.

The craziest part is that many mosques in Pakistan began to announce about this deadly virus publically. Another funny incident is when my friend was not feeling well he was examined by the doctor. Since he was accompanied by his father before the doctor could speak anything, his father began saying that “Doctor, maybe that my son is always sitting in front of computer might the virus attacked him?” My friend laugh outbreak there.

This is all because some people still don’t know the difference between Computer virus and biological virus.

Ok here is the snippet for those who don’t really know! Sorry not for people who knew it!

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. The term comes from the term virus in biology. A computer virus reproduces by making, possibly modified, copies of itself in the computer’s memory, storage, or over a network. This is similar to the way a biological virus works but nothing to do with human beings. There are many viruses operating in the general Internet today, and new ones are discovered every day.

Do you have any incidents to share ?

Google Groups in 1969 ? Funny Bug !

Today when i was Organizing one of a Google Group called Hyderabad Masti i found this funny bug while browsing their member lists.

The list showed like in the below screen shot, all the members of the group has been joined on Dec 31, 1969. Doesn’t that sound wired ? Internet during 1969 ? He He nice bug. :-)

This bug might have been an effect of the recent Google Groups transformation from its earlier version to the new version. This group actually contains 4k+ members maybe Google should be lazy enough to update their membership info.

What really makes me laugh is that the Group Owner Amby whose list shows that he has joined in the year 2004 but other members joined in 1969. Members join before group owner create group ? I know its a silly question but i was just kidding with.. Myself, i am the Group moderator and my list shows up that i joined in 2006.

Aware of any other bugs in Google Groups ? Share your comments about it !
Do you think Google Groups should still be Beta ?

[Update] Ken Neville in Googlified has explained this problem. Click here to read.

Mercedes Benz a Passionate for Indians - do you owe one ?

Whether its Sachin Tendulkar or Amitabh bachan or Shahrukh khan or whosoever it may be, might have a passionate to have a Mercedes Benz at their garage. Hmmm is this part of just royality or a show off to public ? Do you think owning a Mercedes Benz is just for fame? Then you are absolutely wrong !

Mercedes Benz cars are not just about class, style, comfort but also the engineering technology and performance. The average car models going in India are E-Class, C-class and S-Class with price variation from 27 lakhs - 60 lakhs. The five highlights of each and every Mercedes Benz car is its Design, Safety, Performance, Comfort, Environment Friendly and the Innovation and Technology behind it.

You don’t have to be a celebrity to buy it, only money that matters and i tell you that the car is very worthy for every penny. Your passionate over Mercedes Benz should not be limited only on the basis if john abe rides it or Big B owns it but a 360 angle exploration over the thing you love. I do have passionate to own a benz but i will when can owe it.

Moral: Don’t love a thing since someone loves it, coz you might miss something more nicer than that…

And do owe a Benz car not because of its class but its a perfect car…
