Corporate Communication 2
Programmer to Team Leader:
"We can't do this proposed project. **CAN NOT**. It will involve a major
design change and no one in our team knows the design of this legacy system.
And above that, nobody in our company knows the language in which this
application has been written. So even if somebody wants to work on it, they
can't. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never take these
type of projects."
Team Leader to Project Manager :
"This project will involve a design change. Currently, we don't have any
staff that has experience in this type of work. Also, the language is
unfamiliar to us, so we will have to arrange for some training if we take
this project. In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a project
of this nature."
Project Manager to 1st Level Manager :
"This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have much
experience in that area. Also, not many people in our company are
appropriately trained for it. In my personal opinion, we might be able to do
the project but we would need more time than usual to complete it."
1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager :
"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who have
worked in this area and others who know the implementation language. So they
can train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this project,
but with caution."
Senior Level Manager to CEO :
"This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in
remodeling the design of a complete legacy system. We have all the necessary
skills and people to execute this project successfully. Some people have
already given in house training in this area to other staff members. In my
personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us under any
circumstances."
CEO to Client :
"This is the type of project in which our company specializes. We have
executed many projects of the same nature for many large clients. Trust me
when I say that we are the most competent firm in the industry for doing
this kind of work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this
project successfully and well within the given time frame.
Newton vs Pascal
Once all the scientists die and go to heaven...... ......
They decide to play hide-n-seek. ........
Unfortunately Einstein is the one who has the den........ ..
He is supposed to count up to 100...and then start searching... ..
Everyone starts hiding except Newton...... ...
Newton just draws a square of 1 meter and stands in it right in front of Einstein... .......
Einstein's counting
1,2,3......97, 98,99.... .100..... ..
He opens his eyes and finds Newton standing in front....... .
Einstein says "newton's out..newton' s....out. ..."
Newton denies and says i am not out........
He claims that he is not Newton......
All the scientists come out to see how he proves that he is not Newton ..
Newton says "I am standing in a square of area 1 meter square.....
That makes me Newton per meter square..... .
since one Newton per meter squared is one Pascal, I'm Pascal,
Therefore Pascal is OUT......... ..!

Lateral Thinking Questions
Recently a company had participated in IIM's Placement Sessions.
They asked some interesting questions to students during recruitment.
Here are some of them:-
************ ********* **
1. There is one word in the English language that is always pronounced incorrectly. What is it?
********
2. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?
********
3. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water.
The tide rises at 12 inches every 15minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide is at it's highest, how many rungs are under water?
********
4. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the windows. What color is the bear?
********
5. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?
********
6. There is a room. The shutters are blowing in. There is broken glass on the floor. There is water on the floor. You find Sloppy dead on the floor. Who is Sloppy? How did Sloppy die?
********
7. How much dirt would be in a hole 6 feet deep and 6 feet wide that has been dug with a square edged shovel?
********
8. If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first?
Same question, but the location is in Canada ?
********
9. What is the significance of the following: The year is 1978, thirty-four minutes past noon on May 6th.
********
10. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in the center field?
********
11. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move?

1. The word "incorrectly. "
********
2. 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He divided it between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two.
********
3. None, the boat rises with the tide. Googly ;-)
********
4. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the North pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.
********
5. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders of operation, division is performed before addition.
So... half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer is three.
********
6. Sloppy is a (gold)fish. The wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it broke, killing him.
********
7. None. No matter how big a hole is, it's still a hole: the absence of dirt.
********
8. Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that the water in the 30 degree F bucket is frozen? Think again.
The question said nothing about that bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is no water (or ice) to slow the ball down...
********
9. The time and month/date/year American style calendar are 12:34, 5/6/78.
********
10. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big stack.
********
11. The temperature.
