Farah
Felline was out of town on business, and needed
a room for a week. When she went to pay the clerk
she realized her credit card was missing. Her
bank said it would be one week before they could
deliver a new card. Farah turned to the desk clerk
and said, "I have a solid gold chain with
seven links. Each link is worth well over $100.
I'll give you the chain as collateral until my
card is replaced. Just to be on the safe side,
I'll give one link each day for seven days."
Farah realized that she could trade links back
and forth and avoid a lot of unnecessary cuts
to the chain. What is the fewest number of cuts
she would have to make and how would she trade
the links back and forth?

HUMOR
TWO
FRIENDS
Two
old friends meet passing on the street one day.
But one looked forlorn, and almost on the verge
of tears. His friend asked, "What had the
world done to you, my old friend?" The sad
fellow said, "Let me tell you. Three weeks
ago, an uncle died and left me forty thousand
dollars." "That's not bad." "But
you see, two weeks ago, a cousin I never even
knew kicked the bucket, and left me eighty five
thousand free and clear." "Sounds like
you should be grateful..." "You don't
understand!" he interrupted. "Last week
my great aunt passed away. I inherited almost
a quarter of a million." Now he was really
confused. "Then, how come you look so glum?"
"This week... nothing!"

DICA
DO MICHAEL (Tirando Dúvidas de Inglês)
Um
colega de trabalho me perguntou se a seguinte
frase está correta: When the system
will be in production, the X process will not
be necessary anymore.
Lamento
informar que a frase do seu colega não
está correta. Ele deveria ter dito: When
the system is in production, the X process won't
be necessary anymore (Quando o sistema estiver
em produção, o processo X não
será mais necessário).
