i dont think this is any special ability, most people should be able to do it. Maybe its purpose is just to make people feel good :)
Absolutely correct. Everyone desires to be called a great mind & this paragraph solves the purpose. :lol:
most respectfully i would like to say that the above puzzle is easy only for those who knows english since childhood or have been lucky enough to study in good english medium schools.

recently saw in news report abt pathetic gk and english skills of MA(english) teacher working in govt. school in bihar.
they don know spelling of common english words!!

if u show this puzzle to them i m sure they will faint. :(

edit: i couldn find the latest one but this one is similar:

Dear Vijkris , I completely agree with you on this point. Unfortunately if one goes around one finds that this kind of rot in education is happening in 90% of the states in India.

Recently saw a report on Aaj Tak about the schools in Gujarat , one cannot differentiate that was the report about Bihar or Gujarat , identically similar situations.

Then again they showed a report about Punjab, teachers were put to test when the result of Xth board was bad , outcome was that 90% teachers failed in the test. Pathetic situation all over India.

A brown-throated is called Chutto Lapittida in Italian, in Portuguese, it’s called Bom da Peida, in Chinese, it’s called a Chung-long-tah, and in Japanese, it’s a Katano Tekeda. You can know the name (or memorize) the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you’re finished, you’ll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird. There is a difference between knowing the name of something and knowing what it is - Richard Feynman, Theoretical physicist, Noble Prize Winner.

Unfortunately, our education is geared to know the name of something or memorizing it, and vomiting it out during the exams. Next year, it is all forgotten (because it was meant to be remembered for examination purpose only)

Our education system is geared to churn out graduates rather than to teach how to think and solve problems... (with a few exceptions) and that is the reason why we lag behind other countries in terms of applied knowledge....

Anybody good at connecting dots? :D
 
Here's something for people who want to really feel good about themselves. The solution is easily available on the net so there's really no point in posting self-congratulatory answers. But that's not the point of any puzzle, is it?

There are 5 houses in five different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

the Brit lives in the red house
the Swede keeps dogs as pets
the Dane drinks tea
the green house is on the left of the white house
the green house's owner drinks coffee
the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
the man living in the center house drinks milk
the Norwegian lives in the first house
the man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer
the German smokes Prince
the Norwegian lives next to the blue house
the man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water

The question is: Who owns the fish?
