Plugin: state_select, generate drop down selection box for states
Sep 12th
I have wrote my first plugin(state_select). This plugin allows to create drop down list for states, same as country_select method in rails. I know this is not a big deal…
UPDATE: Curently it can generate state list for India, US, Canada, Australia, Spain and Uganda(default is US).
Usage:
state_select(object, method, country=’US’, options = {}, html_options = {})
Return select and option tags for the given object and method, using state_options_for_select to generate the list of option tags.
state_options_for_select(selected = nil, country = ‘US’)
Returns a string of option tags for states in a country. Supply a state name as selected to have it marked as the selected option tag.
NOTE: Only the option tags are returned, you have to wrap this call in a regular HTML select tag.

12 Balls Problem
Sep 8th
You have 12 balls (of any kind), one ball either lighter or heavier than the other 11. A scale is provided to you but only three weighs are allowed. How can you possibly figure out which is the odd ball?
