10 Weird Things About Me + Logic Puzzle!
First of all, here's a little logic puzzle for everyone out there. Took me less than five minutes to solve it, so I bet most of you can do it as well. All comments are screened by default, and I'll unscreen those that don't have the answer. *shall offer a drabble or icon to anyone that gets it right though she's still writing out Xmas fics* No cheating and trying to Google it!
Once A, B & C went to a restaurant. After having tea and light refreshment they asked for bill, the amount of bill was $30 They decided to pay the bill amount on equal share. Everybody took out $10 from their pocket and paid the bill.
They were yet sitting and gossiping in restaurant, Suddenly the waiter realized that the amount of their bill was $25 not $30
He took $5 from counter and decided to return them. Then he thought they are 3 how will they share $5? So he has decided to keep $2 to him and return only $3 to them. He came to their table and returned them $3 with apology. Everybody took $1 and put in their pockets.
Now my question is first time everyone paid $10 later they get $ 1 refunded.
So everybody paid $9
$9 * 3 = $27
The waiter put $2 in his pocket.
$27 + $2 = $29
So, where is the remaining $1?
Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own - 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
10 Weird Things About Me
1. I love complicated/weird color names. Red, blue, green -- they sound boring to me. I want crimson, scarlet, carmine. Or cornflower blue, prussian blue, or marine blue. Or mineral green, emerald green, or olive green. I especially love the two-word colors, like cornflower blue, which is always my default font color on MSN. I even have some of the colors listed in my interests in my profile.
2. I hate jam, marmalade and pretty much any kind of spread except peanut butter, butter and Nutella. And even then, it has to be smooth peanut butter, not chunky.
3. I sleep with two hot water bottles because I'd freeze to death otherwise.
4. I haven't used my landline at college for over two years; all my calls take place over my cellphone.
5. I have crayons in my pencil case and use them to draw during classes. I actually bought them for a friend of mine,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fairly_grimm, but then I found a better set that I'll be sending off to him whenever I finally get around to posting the Xmas cards/packages I owe everyone. @_@
6. The first bit of fanfiction I ever read was when I was 12 or so. It was Xena/Gabrielle and I was so embarrassed by the kiss and very tasteful hints at sex scenes that I deleted them from the fic, partly because I was scared of what my father would do if he read them. I keep meaning to find that fic again because it was over 1K of pages in 12 Times New Roman font, and it was possibly the best thing I've ever read in the fanfic world.
7. I have only one pair of sneakers and three pairs of boots. I wear my sneakers during the wintertime anyway, even when there's ice on the path (the trick is to walk on the grass instead, the crunchy snow won't wet your sneakers because it's too cold to melt) and my parents despair and insist that I buy myself new ones. I refuse, because I like wearing my sneakers until they wear through.
8. Same thing with socks. I have no problem wearing socks with holes in them, though it drives my parents crazy. One time, I actually stitched up the holes in my socks to make a point about them.
9. I carry Vaseline Lip Therapy with me nearly all the time. I love that it's flavorless and it feels really soft and makes your lips subtly shiny without being glossy. Smearing a layer on is weirdly soothing.
10. Eating can exhaust me. Just the effort involved in chewing a slice of pizza and swallowing it is tiring. Same for a cheeseburger. My mouth just hurts afterwards, and I wonder if I expend more energy on eating than I gain from it.

Does anyone know why it's always six people that get tagged? I'd think that ten would be more appropriate in this case.

Animorphs drabble please~? 8D I'm kind of in a Tobias/Ax mood...
no subject
After they'd returned to Earth (they'd survived the crash but the Rachel hadn't; Tobias felt like he'd traded her for Ax just like she'd been traded for the Earth all those years ago), Ax had followed Tobias back to his mountains. He hadn't wanted to leave his shorm before, but Tobias hadn't been willing to accept any company, grieving over Rachel in his sad solitude.
Now, though, Ax couldn't let him lock himself away again in the bird-cage-body. Ax had his own life back beucause of the Animorphs and the Rachel and honor her memory as well as that of his brother (Tobias was his family as well as his shorm), he could not let Tobias be alone once more.
It will get better, Ax had told him when the war was over. Ax had told Tobias a lot of things, mostly to do with Andalite honor, mourning and love.
Tobias didn't say much, but he had listened, then flown away.
Rachel had been the only thing holding him to humanity. With her gone, Tobias had retreated into his bird side and even as Ax approached, Tobias ruffled up his feathers angrily and gazed down at Ax with angry predator eyes. [Go away.]
[Rachel is dead.] Ax said in reply, almond eyes on Tobias as his stalk eyes scanned the area for any threats, [You do not belong amongst humans, but you were only one-third human to begin with.]
Ax smiled that strange, mouthless Andalite smile and extended one of his delicate hands upwards towards Tobias, [There is no reason for you to choose to be a bird if you could be an Andalite instead.]
He had made this offer to Tobias once before, right before Rachel's funeral, and Tobias had left. Ax hadn't seen him again until the funeral itself.
Now, as Tobias held his gaze with an intensity that made Ax long to look at him directly with all four eyes (danger, cried his instincts but his heart cried, hush), Ax began to fear that perhaps it had been too soon again. Perhaps the double-loss of Tobias' beloved had only pushed his shorm even further from him instead of reminding Tobias of the camaderie between them.
Then Tobias fluttered down from the tree and began to demorph and Ax knew that all would be well.
