Hope you are allwell, insha-Allah.  Ameen.

Here's a riddle one of my colleagues thought I could answer since he couldn't figure it out

80% of Kindergardeners solved it and 5% Stanford students figured it out.

1. It's a seven letter word
2. Preceded God
3. Greater than God
4. Poor people have it
5. Rich people need it
6. If you eat it, you will die

Once I saw 2 and 3, I was like, NOTHING is greater than God.  It's a stupid riddle and I didn't want to figure it out anymore nor did I want to play.

Eh....Oh well.....

Ma-asalaama....

Perhaps the other 95% Stanford students had arguments similar to the following:

2. Preceded God
In our religion, there is no concept of 'before' Allah. So, I object to the answer 'nothing'.

4. Poor people have it
Poor people have more then they can count. Ask a poor muslim.

5. Rich people need it
Rich people are in need of 'lots' of things which they can not get by any means. Ask any rich person.

6. If you eat it, you will die
People have survived for long periods without consuming anything solid, i.e., eating.

PS: The 5% Stanford students were the statistical margin of error in any admission process.

From the other Thread
[quote author=superFOB link=board=bebzi;num=1063903605;start=0#3 date=09/19/03 at 01:34:57]Little bit misleading. For example...

So, training is the key to pattern matching.
