just like a song in my heart



jika semua kaunter dibuka serentak pada pukul 8 pagi dan setiap pelanggan mengambil masa 10 minit untuk siapkan urusannya di kaunter, berapa lamakah yang perlu diambil untuk Ali, Ahmad dan Raju untuk keluar dari bank bersama-sama?

a. 1 jam 10 minit
b. 1 jam 20 minit
c. 1 jam 30 minit
d. 1 jam 40 minit



if all the counters open simultaneously at 8am and it takes 10 minutes for each customer to settle his matters at the counter, how long would it take for Ali, Ahmad and Raju to leave the bank together?

a. 1 hour 10 minutes
b. 1 hour 20 minutes
c. 1 hour 30 minutes
d. 1 hour 40 minutes



yeah, what kind of stoooopid question is this? it came out in Pengajian Am 1 this morning.

nevertheless, with that, ends my mid-term exams (: and i will be free for the next two weeks. a bit short compared to jamie and pearly who have 4 months and 3 months break each, but 2 weeks is not bad.

may the holidays begin!




p/s: my friend's current romantic developments are seriously making me feel single. nevertheless, i vehemently soldier on alone in my path of singleness (:

pp/s: skinny pants or no skinny pants?

ppp/s: watching The Biggest Loser seriously makes me feel f-a-t.

GE - she said it's not a maths question. it's an iq question. you're not supposed to calculate to get the answer /:


Joey - apparently cos since 1 person = 10 mins and there are 3 people, therefore it's 30 mins. and the one hour is there to confuse us.

well, i think the question fulfilled its purpose of confusing us.

wee i know why d!

since they all only need 30 minutes to come out simultaneously (i'm assuming its only 1 counter)..

so the only multiple of 30 minutes is 1 hour & 30 minutes. given that all 3 of them must go to the counter 3 times/person.

hence, since a,b & d isn't the multiple of 30 minutes, they're wrong.

anyways. this is only true if all 3 of them are to go to the counter the same amount of times lah. if not, my answer would be

e. after they had their ice-cream bought from McDs. =D

ryan, that is so lame. and that answer is only based on the assumption that they all go to the same counter. but the question states that all counterS open at exactly 8am. so why can't Ali, Ahmad and Raju go to a different counter each????
