Here, have your fill of randomness.
+ Mathematical Paradox, anyone? I know this one is fairly known - enough that the book I read it from won't give me the answer - but the solution eludes me. Help!
Three men had dinner at an hotel and received a bill for 30 dollars. Each handed the waiter 10 dollars. The waiter took the money to the office where he was told that there had been a mistake: the bill should have been for only 25 dollars, not 30, so he was sent back with 5 dollars. On the way back, it occured to him that it wouldn't be easy to divide 5 by 3, that the men didn't know the amount of the bill anyway, and that they'd be glad for any return on the money. So he kept 2 dollars to himself, and returned one to each man.
Now, each of the man paid 9 dollars (total, 3*9 = 27 dollars), and the waiter kept 2. 27 + 2 = 29, and the men originally handed over 30 dollars. Where's the missing dollar?
+ I found a mouth-watering cake recipe, and thought I'd share. Dobos Torte, anyone? I'd like to try it, but I'll look up a recipe in French, cause I doubt there were any corn syrup in the original recipe, and it's not easily available here.
+ Et aussi, dans le genre culinaire, en ce moment je m'essaie à la confection de caramels. Premier essai, trop durs, second essai, trop mous... Je suis sur la bonne voie, j'en suis persuadée. Juste le temps que mon taux de sucre redescende un peu, et je ferai un autre essai. Maintenant que j'ai découvert que je ne risquais pas, à priori, d'y laisser un fond de casserole^^
+ Je suis retournée voir Good Morning England. Thick Kevin est vraiment trop drôle.
Rien à voir, mais quand même, ça m'énerve passablement quand un titre anglais est "traduit" pour la sortie française par un autre titre anglais. Ce serait pas des fois plus simple de garder l'original? C'est bien ce que je pensais.
