Are these images moving or still??



One teacher said, “I felt like they were all moving…but slowly. Kind of like, they were breathing.”
The pictures attached are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.
The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.
Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.
None of these images are animated - they are perfectly still…

So you wanna be a hacker? code cracker? sittin in your room talking smack typa rapper?
Then try your skills at: http://www.area-6.net.
Basically its a bunch of hacking challenges, where you’re basically hacking for a password. Once you get it, you can use that password to try the next challange.
I remember back in highschool I came across one of these and I got pretty far, but seems like I’ve lost much of the creative thinking needed to do most of these, but I manage ;).
Anyways try your hand at it. I got up to challenge number 3 no problem, but ran into a bit of a wall (damn you GOOOGLE!!!).
Anyways if you do try it, let me know how you do. (Why do I always find these things when I got mad work to do??)

So you got two ropes, both having different lenghts.
If you light either rope, in exactly 1 hour the rope will be fully burned/consumed.
The ropes are not the same length or thickness.
Also the rate at which the rope burns isn’t uniform. (It may burn faster then slower then faster), so if half the rope is half burned that doesn’t mean that half an hour has gone by.
Using the two ropes how do you measure that 45 minutes worth of time has gone by?

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.
Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?
[Give this some thought before you answer, I’ll post the answer in 2 days]

Three men go to stay at a motel, and the man at the desk charges them $30.00 for a room. They split the cost ten dollars each. Later the manager tells the desk man that he overcharged the men, that the actual cost should have been $25.00. The manager gives the bellboy $5.00 and tells him to give it to the men.
The bellboy, however, decides to cheat the men and pockets $2.00, giving each of the men only one dollar.
Now each man has paid $9.00 to stay in the room and 3 x $9.00 = $27.00. The bellboy has pocketed $2.00. $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00 - so where is the missing $1.00?
