Food for thought.....or thinking of food?

Nothing profound. Nothing philisophical. Just food. Lots and lots of food.

Some problems.....


  • simply can't be solved
  • will never go away
  • can't be shared no matter how much you wish to

But when I know you are there to cheer me up, the knowledge turn my woes to gladness.

As a sign of appreciation and to show that I'm feeling much better now, I'd like to ask a qian4 bian3 wen4 da2 ti2:

Three ants are lined up in a column, front to back.

The ant at the rear end says, "There are 2 ants in front of me."

The ant in the middle says, "There is 1 ant in front of me."

The ant in front, however, says, "There are 3 ants in front of me."

Why is this so?

Can you guess what the answer is?


Saying "thank you" can be very awkard action when said to a close friend

the ant at rear says "there are 2 ants in front"

the ant in the middle turn back to answer " there is 1 ant in front of me"

the ant in front turn back and says "there are 3 ants in front of me because 2 ants plus 1 ant adds up to 3 ants in front of me!"

suppose the ant is denoted by

]<><><> with the feeler in front of its head so the three ants line up as :

<>[<><> ]<><><> ]<><><>
front-middle-rear

so the rear ant say there are 2 ants infront of me

the middle ant say there is 1 ant infont of me

the front ant turn back and saw two ants and his own body so he say there are 2 ants infront of me .

can or not?
