Life is one long process of getting tired.

Life is an art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.

All progress is based upon the universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.

We think as we do, mainly because other people think so.

The history of art is the history of revival.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

Tyrants seldom want pretexts.

It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact.

Passion for fame; a passion which is the instinct of all great souls.

The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.

(Edmund Burke)

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the answer with its explanation. ray2:
All the possible combinations have been given by you!
I wonder why the set has only 55 cards and not 57?

From this website http://mathmamawrites.blogspot.com/2012/01/math-adventures-thinking-about-spot-it.html

"I suspect that the reason for the missing cards comes from the cards' production method. Most cards are printed on rectangular sheets, which are then cut into individual cards. So the number of cards in a rectangular sheet needs to have two factors that are neither too large nor too small. Also, you want to be able to make a standard poker deck, which is 54 cards, so the number of cards in a sheet should not be less or much more than that. It appears that 5×11 is a pretty common size, just judging by what I've seen in Magic: the Gathering sets. So it probably just comes down to it being more expensive to make a game with a non-standard number of cards."

Dear Sir,
These cards are circular discs.
But the explanation given by you still holds good! :thumb:
Thank you very for responding to my queries! ray2:

Surely (57 = )19 x 3 will be a very odd size - not likely to be in use!!!!
Today I played with those cards for a few minutes.
The same image is printed large in one card and small in another.
So looking for them in the same size will be waste of precious Time!

A child will reveal its impressions without any inhibitions in front of the guests.

The parents had warned their cute little daughter not to comment on the appearance of the people who visited them.

A real fat couple visited them once and the little girl could not contain herself to comment until after they left.

She said very sweetly to her mother,"F A T no???"

Code language helps at times for exchanging important info without attracting too much attention.

When one of us might be giving out irrelevant info to the visitors, my father used the expression "se su hi" to stop us from going on :blabla:!!!

It was actually the short form of "சத்தே சும்மா இருக்கியா?"
but no body had guessed it till now!

In my mind, there is nothing so illiberal and so ill bred as audible laughter.

The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, not in a closet.

An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.

I recommend you to take care of the minutes; for hours will take care of themselves.

(Anton Chekhov)

Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.

Speak of the modern without contempt, and of the ancients without idolatry.

Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds.

Swallow all your learning in the morning but digest it in company in the evenings.

(Anton Chekhov)

Yeah! Hence this quote!!

Destiny drives the dumbo harder than the wise advice from the sane well wishers! :tsk:

But those who are neither wise nor otherwise may accept a good advice! :blah: :kev: :blabla:

People who take more than their share of space...

A father and a son got into our compartment.

The four friends (helpers?) following them carried four cubical flexible bags.

I was seeing one such bag for the very first time in my life. It would NOT go under the seat in any orientation.

But those hefty fellows somehow pushed the bags under both the long seats filling the space there completely.

All the other five passengers who shared the same cubicle had to keep their things on their berths and sleep .

The people who had taken more than their allotted space never felt guilty, not apologized even formally.

World is full of such people who grab more than their share of air, water, space, power and energy...without batting an eyelid!

My grand kids have a squeeze toy with big bulging eyes.
When the toy is presses hard the eyes pop out into what they kids call as googly eyes!
It is useful to show the expression of utter shock and disbelief! :shocked:
How do you like these optical illusions???

The outstanding feature of a garrulous bore :kev:
is his complete unawareness of that fact.


He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes.
He who does not ask remains a fool for ever. :loco:​

Nearly every married man you come across knows ​

how to govern his wife. Only she would not let him! :high5:


A woman usually forgets her husband's 'past',
if he comes home to her with a 'present'
and tall promises for the 'future'! :drama:​

Dear Sis,

IMHO, such toys should be BANNED!

The squeezing habit to get ugly faces will spoil the tender minds of the kids! :sad:

No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not believed.

Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity.

You never know what is enough, unless you know what is more than enough.

Ambition is the growth of every clime.

I was angry with my friend,
I told my wrath and my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe,
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

(William Blake).
