Passage: Valentine has fallen under the displeasure of his father by his extravagance, and is besieged by creditors. His father, Sir Sampson Legend, offers him ÂŁ4000 (only enough to pay his debts) if he will sign a bond engaging to make over his right to his inheritance to his younger brother Ben. Valentine, to escape from his embarrassment, signs the bond. He is in love with Angelica, who possesses a fortune of her own, but so far she has not yielded to his suit. Sir Sampson has arranged a match between Ben, who is at sea, and Miss Prue, an awkward country girl, the daughter of Foresight, a superstitious old fool who claims to be an astrologer. Valentine, realizing the ruin entailed by the signature of the bond, tries to move his father by submission, and fails; then pretends to be mad and unable to sign the final deed of conveyance to his brother. Finally Angelica intervenes. She induces Sir Sampson to propose marriage to her, pretends to accept, and gets possession of Valentine's bond. When Valentine, in despair at finding that Angelica is about to marry his father, declares himself ready to sign the conveyance, she reveals the plot, tears up the bond, and declares her love for Valentine.
Question: What must Valentine do to receive the ÂŁ4000?
Answer: | Sign over his inheritance to his younger brother |

Daley Blind's agent says Manchester United are yet to launch a bid to sign his client. Blind is understood to be on Louis van Gaal's transfer shortlist, but the Manchester United manager has not made a move for the Ajax utility man, according to his representative Rob Jansen.

Question: Luke takes a 70-minute bus to work every day. His coworker Paula takes 3/5 of this time to arrive by bus at work. If Luke takes a bike ride back home every day, 5 times slower than the bus, and Paula takes the bus back home, calculate the total amount of time, in minutes, they take traveling from home to work and back each day.
Answer: | When Luke takes the 70-minute bus to work, his coworker Paula takes 3/5*70 = <<70*3/5=42>>42 minutes to travel from home to work. From work to home, Paula spends the same amount of time she spent going to work, giving a total of 42+42 = <<42+42=84>>84 minutes in a day traveling. From work to home, while riding the bike, Luke spends 5*70 = <<5*70=350>>350 minutes on the road. The total time Luke takes to travel from home to work and back is 350+70 = <<350+70=420>>420 minutes. Together, Luke and Paula takes 420+84 = <<420+84=504>>504 minutes The answer is 504. |
Question: Bill's roof can bear 500 pounds of weight. If 100 leaves fall on his roof every day, and 1000 leaves weighs 1 pound, how many days will it take for his roof to collapse?
Answer: | First, find how many leaves the roof can hold: 500 pounds * 1000 leaves/pound = <<500*1000=500000>>500000 leaves Then divide that by the number of leaves that fall each day to find how many days before the roof collapses: 500000 leaves / 100 leaves/day = <<500000/100=5000>>5000 days The answer is 5000. |

It's a noise heard in playgrounds across the country by children pretending to fire lasers at each other, but the phrase 'pew pew pew' almost became the activation command for Google Glass. Google's wearable computer is controlled by voice commands and in order to get Google Glass to listen and accept an instruction, an activation phrase is needed. The current phrase is 'okay glass' followed by the command, but managers from Google mulled over more humorous alternatives, such as 'pew pew pew', 'hear me now' and 'glassicus'. Wearers of Google Glass can say a phrase to activate the voice command feature and get the wearable tech to listen and accept instructions. The current phrase is 'okay glass' yet reports claims firm considered alternative 'hotwords' including 'Pew Pew Pew' and Go Go Glass' Google Glass' voice command system was first revealed in February when the search giant released a video that showed a user taking a photo by saying 'okay glass, take a picture'. Similarly, videos can be recorded when a user says 'okay glass, record a video.' The 'okay glass' phrase is known as a Google 'hotword.' According to Emil Protalinski at The Next Web, the hotword idea emerged out of a conversation between Google Glass' marketing manager, Amanda Rosenberg, and its product manager, Mat Balezin, in April 2012. Apparently 'okay glass' was the hotword suggested by Rosenberg and this was the phrase used in the final product. She also reportedly revealed that there were more humorous suggestions for the hotword, including: 'pew pew pew,' 'glassicus' and one that Inspector Gadget might enjoy, 'go go Glass'. 'Hear me now,' 'listen up Glass' and 'Glass alive' were also considered. Google Glass (pictured) is a high-tech pair of spectacles with in-built hands-free video camera and internet access.

However, Google was quick to patch the problem, The Verge reported. The security firm believes that if hackers had exploited the vulnerability, they would have been able to use a malicious QR code to force Google Glass to connect to a Wi-Fi access point and allow them to read all the data flowing to and from the headset.

Many people fear that the use of Google Glass with its intelligent cameras will erode people's privacy. A recent study by web hosting firm . Rackspace and Goldsmiths University found that one in five adults in the . UK wants to ban Google Glass completely, because of such privacy concerns. According to Google, the device has been designed so that it is obvious to passers by how the device is being used. For example, people can hear camera voice commands or see someone tap their temple before the screen lights up. But hackers are gradually proving that they are able to modify the device, which has put Google in a tricky situation of trying to welcome creative new ideas that could progress its product while maintaining its stance on being pro-privacy. Mr Balaban said he got a frosty response from Google when he told them that he had built an app that enables Google Glass to use facial recognition to identify people.

Passage: This work describes the author's views on the afterlife against the prevailing view of the "Greeks" (i.e., the Greco-Romans) of his day. He asserts that
"...Hades is a place in the world not regularly finished; a subterraneous region, wherein the light of this world does not shine; from which circumstance, that in this region the light does not shine, it cannot be but there must be in it perpetual darkness. This region is allotted as a place of custody for souls, in which angels are appointed as guardians to them, who distribute to them temporary punishments, agreeable to every one's behavior and manners".
The author describes Hades as having "a lake of unquenchable fire" prepared by God for a future date of judgment. However, both the just and unjust dead are confined in other, separate portions of Hades; all go through a gate guarded by "an archangel with an host", with the just being guided to the right hand toward a region of light called the Bosom of Abraham. The unjust are violently forced toward the left hand by angels, to a place characterized by fire and which emits "hot vapor", from which they can see the just but cannot pass over due to a "chaos deep and large" that serves as a barrier.
The author assures the Greeks he is addressing that God will resurrect the dead, raising again their bodies and not transmigrating their souls to different bodies. He insists that God is able to do this, likening the dead body both to sown seed and to material cast into "a potter's furnace, in order to be formed again". The author says that when clothed with their pure resurrected bodies, the just will no longer be subject to disease or misery. The unjust, in contrast, will receive their bodies unchanged, including their original diseases. All (just and unjust) will be brought before Jesus Christ who will come as Judge; the author specifically dismisses Minos and Rhadamanthus, those whom the Greeks believed were judges of the underworld, as the arbiters of mankind's fate. Instead, Christ will exercise "the righteous judgment of the Father towards all men", with everlasting punishment for the wicked and eternal bliss for the righteous. The author exhorts his audience to believe in God in order to participate in the reward of the just.
The final paragraph quotes an alleged saying of Christ, "In whatsoever ways I shall find you, in them shall I judge you entirely", which the author uses to claim that if a person living a virtuous life falls into sin, his virtue will not help him escape punishment, while a wicked person who repents in time may still recover "as from a distemper".
Question: What are the last words from Jesus we get?
Answer: | The way you stand before me will be the way I judge you. |

Passage: After stealing an 86-carat (17.2Â g) diamond in a heist in Antwerp, Franky "Four-Fingers" goes to London to see diamond dealer Doug "The Head" on behalf of New York jeweler "Cousin Avi". One of the other robbers advises Franky to obtain a gun from ex-KGB agent Boris "The Blade". Unbeknownst to Franky, Boris and the robber are brothers and plan to steal the diamond from him before he can turn it over to Doug.
Meanwhile, boxing promoter and slot machine shop owner Turkish convinces gangster "Brick Top" to put boxer "Gorgeous George" in a matchup against one of Brick Top's boxers. However, when Turkish sends his partner Tommy and Gorgeous George to purchase a caravan from a group of Irish Travellers, George gets into a fight with Mickey O'Neil, a bare-knuckle boxing champion who badly injures George. Turkish convinces Mickey to replace George in his upcoming match by agreeing to purchase a new caravan for Mickey's mother. Brick Top agrees to the change on the condition that Mickey throws the fight in the fourth round.
Boris gives Franky a revolver in exchange for a favour: Franky is to place a bet on Boris' behalf at Brick Top's bookies. Avi, knowing Franky has a gambling problem, flies to London with his bodyguard "Rosebud" to claim the diamond personally. Boris hires Vinny and Sol, two small-time crooks, to rob Franky while he is at the bookies. The robbery goes awry and Sol, Vinny, and their driver Tyrone are caught on-camera, but manage to kidnap Franky.
Instead of throwing the fight, Mickey knocks his opponent out with a single punch. Infuriated, Brick Top robs Turkish of his savings and demands that Mickey fight again, and lose this time. Meanwhile, Boris retrieves the diamond and murders Franky with a pistol. Brick Top tracks down Sol, Vinny, Tyrone, and their friend, Yardie "Bad Boy" Lincoln and plans on killing them for robbing his bookies. Sol bargains for their lives by promising Brick Top the stolen diamond, and is given 48 hours to retrieve it.
Avi and Doug hire "Bullet-Tooth" Tony to help them find Franky. When the trail leads to Boris, they kidnap him and retrieve the diamond, closely pursued by Sol, Vinny, and Tyrone. Coincidentally Turkish and Tommy are driving on the same stretch of road at the time. When Tommy throws Turkish's carton of milk out of their car window; it splashes over Tony's windscreen, causing him to crash and killing Rosebud in the process. Boris escapes from the wreck only to be hit by Tyrone's car. Tony and Avi are confronted by Sol, Vinny, and Tyrone at a pub where Tony realizes that the trio's pistols are replicas, which he contrasts with his real handgun and intimidates them into leaving. The wounded Boris arrives with an assault rifle with a grenade launcher looking for the diamond back but is shot and killed by Tony, wounding Tyrone at the same time. Sol and Vinny leave a wounded Tyrone and escape with the diamond, which Vinny hides in his pants. When Tony catches up to them, they tell him that the diamond is back at their pawn shop. Once there, they produce the diamond, but it is promptly swallowed by a dog that Vinny got from the travelers. Avi fires at the fleeing dog, accidentally killing Tony. He gives up and returns to New York.
Mickey refuses to fight again unless Turkish buys a better caravan for his mother, but Turkish has no money left since Brick Top stole his savings. Furious, Brick Top has his men vandalize Turkish's gambling arcade and burn down Mickey's mother's caravan while she is asleep inside. Mickey agrees to fight to avoid more carnage, but gets so drunk after his mother's wake that Turkish fears he will not make it to the fourth round. If he fails to go down as agreed, Brick Top's men will execute Turkish, Tommy, Mickey, and the entire campsite of travelers. Mickey makes it to the fourth round, when he suddenly knocks out his opponent. Outside the arena, Brick Top and his men are killed by the travelers. Mickey has bet on himself to win, and waited until the fourth round to allow the travelers time to ambush and kill Brick Top's men at the campsite.
The next morning, Turkish and Tommy find the travelers campsite deserted. When confronted by the police, they cannot explain why they are there, until Vinny's dog suddenly arrives and they claim to be walking it. Sol and Vinny are arrested when the police find Franky and Tony's bodies in their car. Turkish and Tommy take the dog to a veterinarian to extract a squeaky toy that it had swallowed, and discover the diamond in its stomach, as well. They consult Doug about selling the diamond and he calls Avi, who returns to London.
Question: Why does Mickey agree to the boxing match?
Answer: | Turkish agrees to buy a caravan for Mickey's mother |

Supermarket manager Aadeel Din holds a replacement Poppy Appeal tin outside a Tesco Express where a man and a woman stole £200 of donations on Monday . 'He looked around before pulling the chain that connected the collection tin to the till and then took out a pair of pliers, cut the chain and put the tin under his coat. 'The woman then dumped the things she had picked up and they both looked around to see if anyone had noticed before they left. 'I've worked in retail for 20 years and never seen someone do this. It is cold and calculated.' A police spokesman said officers are investigating the theft. No arrests have been made. Inspector Dave Cuff of Norfolk Police added: 'Stealing from a charity is a heartless act, particularly in this case as we approach Remembrance Sunday. 'People donate to charities in the belief the money will be put to good use and such crimes are totally unacceptable. I would urge anyone with information about the thefts to contact police immediately.'

Passage: In the main plot, William the Conqueror falls in love with the image on the shield that the Marquess of Lubeck carries in a tournament. In disguise, William travels to the court of King Zweno of Denmark to see the original of the portrait; once there, he falls in love with Marianna, a Swedish princess held hostage at the Danish court. Marianna, however, is faithful to her suitor, Lubeck, and has no interest in William; but the king's daughter Blanche becomes infatuated with the newcomer. The ladies stage a plot, in which William absconds with the woman he thinks is Marianne; in doing so he gets in trouble with Zweno, who is under the same mistaken impression. When the woman's true identity is revealed â she is of course Blanche â William accepts her as his wife. Lubeck and Marianne are left, happily, to each other.
In the subplot, Em, the beautiful daughter of the miller of Manchester, is wooed by three suitors, Valingford, Mountney, and Manvile. Preferring Manvile, she pretends blindness to evade Valingford, and deafness to avoid Mountney. But Manvile proves unfaithful to Em. In the end, Manvile loses both of the women he pursues, and Em marries Valingford, the one of the three who has remained true to her; and it is revealed that Em is actually of the gentry â her father is Sir Thomas Goddard, and the miller of Manchester was his disguise. The two plots meet at the end, as William recognizes Goddard's banishment was unjust and revokes it. Em makes William realize that the world does contain virtuous women, which helps to reconcile him to his marriage with Blanche.
Question: What does William do for Em's father near the end of the story?
Answer: | He revokes his banishment. |

By . Dan Bloom . PUBLISHED: . 13:31 EST, 16 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 15:12 EST, 16 January 2014 . Attack: Headmistress Gillian Kay, pictured arriving to give evidence at Manchester Crown Court, was left with 3cm deep wounds to her head and neck . A primary school head teacher lay on her driveway screaming and pleading for her life after she was stabbed by her paranoid schizophrenic next-door neighbour, a court heard. Mark Pierson allegedly shouted 'I’m going to kill you you f***ing b****’ before stabbing Gillian Kay in the head and neck with a 4in screwdriver. The frenzied attack was only interrupted when a passing motorist spotted what was happening and intervened, jurors heard. Pierson, 48, then 'calmly walked off' into his parents' house. He had known the headmistress for 10 years and in his pocket was a piece of paper saying 'Gna kill u k', the court heard. He was quickly arrested - telling police he had suffered 'ten years of abuse' and had three plastic bag full of thousands of documents to prove it. Bruised and bloodied, 39-year-old Mrs Kay was airlifted to hospital where she survived, despite suffering a 3cm deep cut to the side of her head and and another to the lower back of her skull, which had hair pushed into the wound. Today she returned to give evidence against her neighbour from behind a screen at Manchester Crown Court. Mrs Kay, who lives with her husband Martin and daughter Lauren in Royton, Greater Manchester, said the attack happened in April last year as she returned from work at Propps Hall primary school in nearby Oldham. She said: 'I got home at about 5pm and there was nobody around when I pulled on to the drive. 'I went round to the boot to get my laptop and noticed someone standing next to me, then I realised it was Mark Pierson. I didn’t have a chance to say anything to him. Frenzied: The scene outside Gillian Kay's house in Royton, Greater Manchester, after she was attacked . 'He was less than a metre away from me. I just saw him staring at me and before I had a chance and before I had a chance to say anything he went into his jacket and pulled out a screwdriver. 'I was so petrified. As soon as he pulled it out he started attacking me with it. I didn’t say anything and he was saying "I’m going to kill you, you f***ing b****." 'He had a really contorted face. He looked really angry. He was aiming at my face. The only way I can describe it is frenzied. It was really quick with no pauses in between. 'I felt the blows go into my head. He was using a lot of force because he had pulled on my jacket to pull me to him so I was close to him. The force pushed me on the floor so I was on my back. I was trying to fight him off.' Mrs Kay's next-door neighbour Mark Pierson was ruled unfit to plead to any criminal charges due to mental illness . She screamed but the attack continued, she said. 'I remember kicking him to try and put space between us but my body twisted and then he got the back of my head,' she said. 'I continued screaming all the way through. He was saying ‘I want to get you, you b****’. 'It felt like it was going on forever. I was screaming and screaming and finding it hard to keep him off me. I remember thinking "this is it", then a white van pulled into the side of the road. 'Then he got off me and dropped the screwdriver and went towards his house. The neighbours were now around and then my husband. Heather [neighbour] was holding my head and trying to stop the blood.' Survived: Gillian Kay gave evidence from behind a screen against her alleged attacker . Pierson was ruled unfit to plead or stand trial due to his 'paranoid persecutory delusions'. Therefore he is not charged with a criminal offence - a jury must instead look at the evidence and decide if Pierson committed the attack or not. If they find he attacked Mrs Kay, he will most likely have a hospital order imposed on him. Mr Kay had known Pierson for 10 years and grew familiar with him through his parents, the court heard, though there had been 'some issues' between them. During her evidence, Pierson was heard to shout to Mrs Kay: 'I wanted you in court, I didn’t want you dead.' He also interrupted proceedings with shouts of 'perjury, perjury' while Mrs Kay spoke from behind a screen. Prosecutor Charlotte Crangle said that when police arrested Pierson, he claimed he had been harassed for ten years and pointed towards plastic bags that contained essential evidence. 'In the bags were thousands of pages of documents written by Pierson. He was put in the van and searched. He had another screwdriver in the lining of his coat. The other screwdriver was spotted close to Mrs Kay with blood stains on. 'There was some blood from Mrs Kay on the defendant’s jeans and a small bit of paper was found in his jeans pocket which refers to killing someone. It said "Gna kill u k". 'In this ferocious and frightening attack, the threats that he was going to kill her and the paper in his pocket, coupled with where the blows were aimed at can only lead to one conclusion and that is you can have no doubt that he was trying to kill Gillian Kay on that day.' The hearing continues.

Question: Bobby needed to make some trips with his truck and had only 12 gallons of gasoline. He drives to a supermarket 5 miles away and then drives back home. Then he headed to his farm which was 6 miles away. Two miles into the journey, he turned around and drove back home to retrieve some farming tools he forgot to take earlier and drove down to the farm. If he now has exactly 2 gallons of gasoline left, at what rate in miles per gallon has his truck been consuming gasoline?
Answer: | The trip to the supermarket and back home covers 5+5=<<5+5=10>>10 miles. The round trip of two miles each before he actually went to the farm covers 2+2=<<2+2=4>>4 miles. Six miles to the farm and the total mileage is 10+4+6=<<10+4+6=20>>20 miles. The truck consumed 12-2=<<12-2=10>>10 gallons of gasoline for the total journey. So, the rate is 20/10= <<20/10=2>>2 miles per gallon. The answer is 2. |

By . Valerie Elliott . PUBLISHED: . 19:45 EST, 22 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 01:56 EST, 24 June 2013 . An artist commissioned by David Cameron to create a gift for the world’s most powerful leaders has described the 'nightmare' of having his work vetted by civil servants who feared it might spark a diplomatic incident. Phil Shaw, 63, a printmaker from Yorkshire, was hand-picked by Downing Street to create a one-off work to be given to Barack Obama, Vladamir Putin, Angela Merkel and the rest of the G8 leaders who met in Northern Ireland last week. Dr Shaw is known for his £1,200 'bookshelf' prints, which depict rows of related volumes with the titles often including jokes or hidden meanings. Read all about it: The 'Group of Eight' artwork by Phil Shaw . But his bespoke 'Group of Eight' work was only cleared by Whitehall officials following weeks of scrutiny and several changes made to avoid causing offence. 'It really got very stressful and at one point I thought I would not be able to do it by the deadline,' the artist confessed. He was approached last month to create the computer-generated print for a limited edition of ten - one for each G8 leader plus the presidents of the European Council and Commission. Initially he was asked to choose one of three themes - 'Ireland,' 'Leaders,' or 'the work of the Group of Eight economic nations'. Under the cosh: Artist Phil Shaw has spoke of how he thought he might miss the deadline for his work of art due to stringent checks . He chose the Group of Eight and spent hours researching various library collections for suitable books about the economy, mysteries of tax havens and actress Angelina Jolie’s campaign against rape of women in war zones, all items on the Lough Erne summit agenda. The government approved his idea to choose books with a hidden message. The first word of each title completes a saying from 18th century economist and moral philosopher, Adam Smith - 'What can be added to the Happiness of a Man who is in health, out of debt and has a clear conscience.' The artist then attempted to find suitable books written by authors with the same names as the G8 leaders. He found plenty of titles by David Cameron and other leaders, but was forced to scrap the plan when the only other work by someone called Barack Obama was a Japanese book entitled: 'I am a Naughty Boy.' ‘I really couldn’t use that, so I decided to look for titles for every country at the summit.' This opened up an arcane and complex world of government protocol. Officials scrutinised each title and ruled out any book that could cause embarrassment or upset. 'I got very polite emails but they didn’t like some books. One was ‘Man and Woman, War and Peace - A Strategist’s Companion’ by Anthony Wilden. I don’t know why, maybe they did not want a reference to war. I managed to replace it with a citizenship textbook ‘Man The Citizen.’' the artist said. 'They also objected to 'A Guide for the Perplexed' by E.F. Schumacher. He was a Nobel Prize-winning economist who worked for the National Coal Board and coined the phrase ‘Small in Beautiful.’ They didn’t tell me why they didn’t like it, maybe he worked for a Labour administration or something. Perhaps they didn’t like perplexed, But because of that I lost my only German reference in the bookshelf. I replaced it with ‘A Treatise on Government’ by Aristotle, so I did manage to get a Greek in there. 'But the one I was most worried about was ‘Of Cabbages and Kings’ I have no idea what’s wrong with that, it’s a cookery book, but maybe there’s a problem with cabbages. I was really worried about this, there aren’t many titles beginning with ‘Of.’ But I found a textbook about tax called ‘Of Rule and Revenue.’ I don’t know who checked the titles, but it went through two or three people so nobody would be upset.' G8 plus two: (L-R) European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, U.S. President Barack Obama, Russia's President Vladimir Putin, France's President Francois Hollande, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Italy's Prime Minister Enrico Letta and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy . And it wasn’t just the titles frowned on by the mandarins. Dr Shaw had hoped to use the colours of each nation’s flag to make a bright picture. 'But there was a problem with the different widths of the book. They were worried that one country might be offended if their flag colours were on a smaller book than another. I then got an email asking me to use blue because that is the colour of the Northern Ireland Assembly.' The final result which took 160 hours to complete is a stunning horizontal 29ins by 14ins print. A Number 10 spokeswoman declined to give details about the vetting process for the leaders’ gift but said: 'We commissioned Phil Shaw to produce something for the G8 and then worked with him to make sure the piece fitted our requirements. Phil gave us lots of options on books, colours etc. Everyone was delighted with the piece, especially the hidden phrase.' Read all about it: 'Conscience', 'Debt' and 'Health and Wealth' are all suited to current political debate . She did not know where Mr Cameron intended to hang the picture. Dr Shaw was chosen for the task after a Cabinet Office official spotted his work at an exhibition. His prints of the London underground were then purchased by the Government Art Collection and displayed in the main G8 summit room. He is represented by the Rebecca Hossack Galleries in London and New York. The G8 nations are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the USA and UK.
