Then that one is easy enough...

Not sure how to explain this.

But lets say that the peach jar has the peach/apple label, the apple jar has the peach label, and the peach/apple jar would then have to have the apple label...

So I taste the one that has the peach jar. I now know that the peach label goes on it, so I take the lid off of the apple jar. I know that it is the apple jar because the peach/apple had the apple label on it, and it is wrong. Which means that the final jar is the peach/apple jar.



No

All the labels are wrong AND you don't know which jar is which...I mean what it contains.. until you taste them. You point to a label, because you cannot point to a jar, you don't know which jar it is. You can only taste once.

A man lives in an apartment building on the 10th floor. Each day he takes the elevator down to get to work. He comes back in the evening and only takes the elevator to the 6th floor.

He's tired, he wants to get to his apartment but he is unable to go to the 10th floor. The elevator isn't broken.

Why does he do that?



Going down you can go from 10 to 1 however the elevator up only goes 1 -6 then 7-10 for penthouse 😉. He has to get off at 6 th floor and change elevators!

There is a story that a man and not a man
Saw and did not see a bird and not a bird
Perched on a branch and not a branch
And hit him and did not hit him with a rock and not a rock.



A man and a blind woman saw a bird perched on a branch and something else NOT perched on a branch and the man hit the bird with a rock and the woman didn't hit something else with something besides a rock? lol

lol @ Government class.

We had civic duties in secondary school..learning about the Parliament and democracy etc.

What's a charter? Is it a private school?

Yup, if you went to school here and went for the sciences, the only difference in the curriculum is you'd have a lot of math and computer science hours. Oh, I forgot to add computer science to my list. I was into sciences in secondary school, but in high school I opted for social studies because I really wanted to go for psychology.

Google Translate still sucks. I understood everything you typed though.

You only get one foreign language? WOW...we mainly take french/german and as of 2 years ago, a third was added for highschool.

Assuming that those are core?

We have much less required classes, although most of those are electives. Don't think Romanian would be taken at most schools here, and I think logic and rhetoric or combined into general philosophy classes. We're required to take a government class in 12th grade.

I moved states and went to several different high schools (public&charter) and they all had different requirements, so I don't honestly know what the most 'standard' curriculum would be in America. But there's a whole different thread about how bad the American education system is, which I'm inclined to agree with... I'm pretty jealous right now, it sounds like your education was far more stringent than mine.

??i da, eu cred c?? materialul este echilibrat, dar, probabil, nu timpul alocat pentru fiecare. Mi-ar g?ndi mai pu??in timp ?n umaniste ??i mai mult ?n ??tiin??ele ... Sunt foarte gelos din toate clasele de limbi str??ine, totu??i. Cele mai multe licee de aici ofera francez?? / spaniol?? ca op??ionale, iar dac?? ai noroc, poate, o limb?? asiatic??. De asemenea, eu nu vorbesc nici un rom?n, dar Google Translate ... 😛



Yes the American education system is very much lacking. We have overcrowded classes and underpaid teachers that are basically raising and disciplining children (parent just don't care or are working 2 jobs to keep afloat). Several close friends and family members are teachers and the stories I hear are horrendous. I considered teaching when I was younger as I have a passion for math, arts and reading, but as I got older I came to realize that it has become a glorified day care center. It's sad really 😢
