What are your New Year’s Resolutions?

Another year has come and gone, once again it’s time make a New Year’s resolution. Yeah!, I know many resolutions go unachieved and are often broken fairly shortly after they are set :( . But still I would like to set my new year’s resolutions ;-) . My resolutions are to improve my vocabulary and to think more realistic. What’s Yours ???

Also I wish 2007 will be a happy, peaceful, and prosperous new year for you all.

Most awaited moment…

Tomorrow will be the our first working day in our new office at Gurgaon. We were planing to move since last year, but due to some reason we couldn’t. Now we are finally moving to our new office ;-) . Now we have enough space to hire people. If you are looking for a job/change or want to work on cutting edge web technology (Spec. Ruby on Rails), send me your resume at akhil at vinsol.com so that i can forward it for further considerations. If you don’t know ruby/rails no probs at all, Freshers OK.
Cheers…

12 Balls Problem

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?

An Escalator Puzzle

Bob takes the underground train to work and uses an escalator at the railway station. If Bob runs up 6 steps of the escalator, then it takes him 52.5 seconds to reach the top of the escalator. If he runs up 14 steps of the escalator, then it takes him only 32.5 seconds to reach the top.

How many seconds would it take Bob to reach the top if he did not run up any steps of the escalator at all?
