I renovated my bathroom and got myself a new bath tub along with new accessories. I have two taps now - hot one and cold one. The hot tap fills the bath tub faster i.e. in fifteen minutes while it takes eighteen minutes for the cold tap to fill the bath tub.

The drain hole can drain the entirely filled bathtub in ten minutes when the taps are not running.

If I leave both the taps on with the drain plug left out, how long will it take the bath to fill?

A strange tradition is followed in an orthodox and undeveloped village. The chief of the village collects taxes from all the males of the village yearly. But it is the method of taking taxes that is interesting.

The taxes paid in the form of grains and every male should pay equal pounds corresponding to his age. In simpler terms, a man aged 10 years will have to pay 10 pounds of grains and a 20 years old will be paying 20 pounds of grain.

The chief stands on a riser containing 7 different weights next to a large 2 pan scale. As per the interesting custom, the chief can only weigh using three of the seven weights.
