Amazing Puzzle
Priya is 21 years older than her son raju. In 6 years from now Priya will be 5 times as old as raju.
Question: Where's Priya's Husband?
(There IS a mathematical solution for this.. try it before scrolling down)
Be careful ……..
**********
**********
**********
Solution:
Priya(MOM 'M') is 21 years older than Raju (Child 'C').
M = C + 21
In 6 years from now the mom will be 5 times as old as the child.
M + 6 = ( C + 6 ) x 5 C + 21 + 6 = ( C + 6) x 5 C + 27 = 5C + 30 -3 = 4C C = -3/4
The child is -3/4 year old, that's -9 months.
Child will be born in next 9 months.
So, right now,
*Priya**'s Husband is on top of her*.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
*
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K*
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
*
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E*
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
*
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E*
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
*
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D*
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
Beauty Of Math.....

Interesting Equation....
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Pigs = eat + sleep
Hence, Human = Pigs + work + enjoy
If, Human - enjoy = Pigs + work
In other words,
Human that don't know enjoy = pigs that work
**************
Men = eat + sleep + earn money
Pigs = eat + sleep
Hence, Men = Pigs + earn money
If Men - earn money = Pigs
In other words,
Men that don't earn money = Pigs
**************
Women = eat + sleep + spend
Pigs = eat + sleep
Hence, Women = Pigs + spend
If, Women - spend = Pigs
In other words,
Women that don't spend = Pigs
**************
Summary:
Men earn money not to let women become pigs!
Women spend not to let men become pigs!
Men + Women = 2 Pigs
