Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

Hi Alirat:

I never gave the formula for the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit. All I did was say that 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit is 1 degree Celsius, gave sample Celsius-Fahrenheit equivalents from Minus-10 Celsius to Plus-30 Celsius.

It's 1.8, times Temperature Celsius, plus 32.

Your Lie is maybe #1. Perhaps you sold more than a "few" copies.

^ No my lie is number 2. No invented language. I have devised a few codes but never a language. My brother and I corresponded in code when we were in our 20's - written code. No clue as the the key, we had to decode and reply in the same code. The most bizarre one was a code using Beagle Boy number (comic The beagle Boys all had 6 digit numbers on their chests using only combinations of 1,7 and 6 - such as 176-176, 167-671, etc) Each letter of the alphabet was a Beagle Boy number. On finding the key I noticed he had misspelled my name and I assumed he did that on purpose to throw me off the track - but it turned out to be a genuine mistake. Utterly mad.

Sorry i misunderstood your celcius Farenheit thing, I read the word 'each' as a literal thing 'for each'. I have a lot of misunderstandings, its fine I'm used to them.

1. I am trying to do some work but keep getting distracted trying to think up lies about myself.

2. I am very clumsy and yesterday jammed my pinky in the sliding door

3. I am very tidy and vacuum twice a day

Do you get snow where you live, Alirat?

I would say it's #1. Alirat finds this game fun

Yes, we get snow---and quite a bit of it, too. 20 centimetres (8 inches) in a storm isn't rare at all. 8 inches doesn't stop anything in New York City. We go on as normal---except, perhaps, for some delays on the buses.

In 2016, we got about 75 centimetres in one storm! In 2010-2011, about 50 inches (about 125 cms) of snow laid on the ground from January to early March.

Usually, though, snow on the ground doesn't last two full weeks even in the heart of winter.

It can get mighty cold----but once in a century, we go down to Minus 20 Celsius. It's the wind that makes it cold, rather than the temperature, usually. Last February, it went up to 24 Celsius one day. Usually, it's between about Minus 7 Celsius and Plus 7 Celsius in January and February.

I work about 55 hours a week.

1. I once broke my wrist trying to run backwards while playing basketball. I was 14 years old.

2. I once broke my 6th rib (as a man in his 40s) trying not to embarrass myself by missing a fly ball in softball.

3. Somehow, I fell off a horse twice----yet I didn't fracture anything---when I was 8 years old.

1. My nephew is spending the night here, after having a noisy band practice with his mates.

2. My brother adopted him but I'm his guardian too.

3. He will be 25 next week.

I'm afraid my Lie is #3. I broke my elbow falling off the horse. The doctors didn't set it properly, and I didn't do the required exercises. My elbow juts out slightly.

For Isabella: #3.

Oh Kortie, you're right again! He's in the range of 25 but not exactly 25, despite the fact his BD is next week.

1 is true (I didn't mean to imply the music was bad. It's incredible -- just loud).
2 is true as you well know.

I recall your horse story but couldn't remember what the injury had been.
