Reddit - A third stroke of luck for world leaders

Smart guy with a bright future ahead of him, bravo! 👍

Devil's advocate here: you still gotta take a break from the Democratic Party once in a while. 🥳

Whoops, I guess I'm just acting young today .
And hey, thanks for all those other thoughts too, it was actually pretty cool reading them 🙂

Larry Walker24 said:Guys, is it just me or is Bubbles kind of intense? Personally, he won't even grab a coffee with me—there's always some excuse 🙂

Oh, totally, but honestly, you probably have a better shot than most, so... 🐔

Alright, let's get political for a second. 😁

Look, we all love a good IQ test, especially when they confirm what we already think—that we're geniuses. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fu6Cy64a...jpg&name=small

It took me a solid ten seconds of staring at this thing, wondering where the catch was, before I finally remembered the OTHER solution. Guess I'm not quite the rocket scientist I thought I was after all! 🕺

Jack Cook7 said:Here’s a little something political for you guys. 😁

I think we all have a bit of an ego when it comes to IQ tests, especially if they happen to confirm we're actually smart. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fu6Cy64a...jpg&name=small

It took me maybe ten seconds of just staring at it, wondering where the catch was, before I finally remembered the SECOND solution. I guess I might not be quite as brilliant as I thought. 🕺

Well, it doesn't actually say you aren't allowed to throw away 1/4 of it... 🤣

Linda King said:It doesn't say anything about not being allowed to toss a quarter... 🤣

Look, that’s option number three. I just hate wasting food. 🥳

I was saying the perfect fix is actually political, but honestly, it only hit me after I spent ten seconds staring blankly at my screen like an idiot. 🙈

If you just offset the apples by about two-thirds, you can make a single cut right through both of them. That way, you get two big slices for two people, plus two smaller pieces for the third person.

Honestly, I don't even mind that I gave up on trying to remember; I probably never would have figured it out anyway.

So, I was wondering, does anyone else here enjoy puzzles?

I’m moving through this one pretty slowly (to put it mildly), but honestly, it's been a blast and I'm not really sweating the pace. 😁

It kicks off with some easy stuff and then progressively gets much more challenging—though there are solutions provided. I suspect it might take me years to get through all of them, and I'll probably never finish half of them, but I suppose that's fine. It's the journey that counts, right? 😬

Linda King said:Just line the apples up at a two-thirds offset, and cut through them both with one slice. You'll end up with two large pieces, each of which go to one person, and two small pieces, both of which go to the third person.

Honestly, I’m not even mad that I gave up. There was no way I would've figured that out on my own.

That was actually the first thing that popped into my head. 😁

But then I realized something felt off—there's no way something that simple is supposed to be an actual intelligence test.

It took me maybe 10 seconds to find the SECOND solution, and honestly, it's the most logical one. 😁

Come on, give me something ELSE to work with, God bless you! I’m genuinely curious here.

(Anyway, kudos for the first part too—you're clearly a smart guy, and I honestly feel bad that you've ended up so tangled up in all this political mess).

The whole thing is that you end up finding your own way to a solution. (Seriously, don't even bother reading the comments under a Twitter post). It’s super straightforward, and honestly, it's basically what politics is all about.
To my own shame, I actually had to laugh at myself once it clicked—not because it took me ten seconds to get it, but because I didn't realize just how simple the answer was right in front of me. 🙈

PS: It's not that I went wrong with politics, it's more like politics decided to go rogue on me. 🙂

Alright, please don't post here if you happen to stumble upon this. I can't really talk right now, but I'll get back to everyone later.

Regarding politics and general viewpoints, whenever your username pops up somewhere, I can't help but think: what a shame, just a total waste of potential. I honestly get hit with this wave of sadness and melancholy, just mourning a lost intellect. I don't know. Maybe God helps you out somehow.

Linda King said:Alright, don't go posting here if anyone finds this. I can't deal right now, so I'll catch you guys later.

When I see your username pop up in a thread about politics or anything serious, honestly? It just hits me hard. Like, what a massive waste of potential. A total tragedy, really. I get this wave of pure melancholy washing over me—just mourning the loss of what could have been if you actually used your brain. I don't know, man. May God help you.

Getting the hang of things. Slowly but surely.
I can't see the image you linked! You gotta upload the actual pic or tell me what's going on in it if you want me to weigh in. My eyes aren't working through links today, haha. Send it over!

Judah is an old-school sergeant who absolutely can't stand Zelenskyy. Linda King and I are part of the diaspora—I’m basically just scrubbing toilets over in Germany while she’s out there looking gorgeous and driving high-end tech. Arthur Sanders74 isn't a pilot, but he travels a ton. His trips always seem to line up perfectly with official visits from US officials, though if you ask me, it's just fate because he’s really just hitting up fancy restaurants. In his downtime, he hunts alligators in Florida—which, by the way, we call crocodiles here.
Klo is a humanitarian worker from Niš. Right now, he's busy distributing aid to protesters over in Canada.
IBS plays in a band.
Oh, right—forgot the most important part. I have a boyfriend in Mossad, which is exactly why every single one of Arthur's reincarnations on this forum hates my guts.
The French West Indies lady doesn't post here anymore, which is such a shame. She lived in France and the French West Indies for years. She’s a retired French professor with a massive passion for linguistics. She’s got quite the personality, but she’s wonderful once you actually click with her.

And why on earth did you forget the version of Nancy Pelosi that's fifty years younger, or a young Era from Split? 😉

Seriously though, when are those guys just arriving in Split going to stop with all these bizarre local customs? 🤷

Jerry Robinson56 said:self-ban mode ... I recognized it immediately the second he reincarnated ... great guy both before and after.

Self-ban mode, let's get one thing straight! 🧐

I wasn't about to follow the Politburo's agenda, so I went rogue. 🕺

Jerry Robinson56 said:I'd tell you what he plays 😁 ... mostly stuff that needs to be "centered" because it's all just hot air. though they make decent company later on

He plays nothing, that's his only real talent.

The guy was the first one in the rural Midwest to pass an IQ test on Facebook, so now he won't shut up about it. 😁

Linda King said:Well, go ahead and tell me SOMETHING ELSE, God help you! I'm dying to know.

(Kudos for the first part, too—you're smart, and I'm sorry your whole life turned out so crookedly tied to politics).

No man — no problem. 😉

Arthur Sanders74 said:Look, let's be clear about this self-ban mode thing! 🧐

I wasn't trying to follow the Politburo's rules—I just went rogue. 🕺

To make matters worse, my total moral meltdown was fueled by the fact that clearing my cache on my laptop wiped out all my saved passwords too. 😬

He’s just playing for nothing, that’s his only real skill.

Haha, I’ve heard plenty of stories about people building massive careers in music without even knowing how to read a single note. Guess some people just have that raw, natural talent.

I could probably pull it off too; I can't read music any better than he can, and I've got a voice just like Dylan's.

He was the first guy in the small towns of northeastern Canada to pass an IQ test on Facebook, so now he won't shut up about it. 😁

What's your problem with folks in rural northeastern Canada having access to Facebook? 🙂

Arthur Sanders74 said:Let’s be perfectly clear about this "self-ban mode" business! 🧐

I simply refused to follow the Politburo's agenda, so I went rogue. 🕺

Everything is crystal clear now; I honestly couldn't fathom you being in the wrong, given how relentlessly morally upright you are.

The moment I recognized your prose again—believe me, it was instantaneous—it struck me as quite peculiar that you had resurfaced here...

🙂Now the picture is complete.

Arthur Sanders74 said:He’s just playing the fool; that’s his only real skill.

He was the first one in the rural towns of northern Canada to pass an IQ test on Facebook, and he hasn't stopped bragging about it since. 😁

One has to vent somewhere, as long as it isn't at the wrong target. 😁

We understand what "we" means; after all, we can still read between the lines.

Jerry Robinson56 said:When I finally clocked who you were again—seriously, I knew it immediately just by your writing style—it felt weird seeing you back in this neck of the woods...

🙂 Well, everything makes sense now

It's all Đolo's fault, really. 😢

And hey, you were actually posting in that thread back then too, weren't you? Didn't you see that?

Oh, come on, Jerry Robinson56, this guy's been trying to pass off crocodiles as alligators for years now.

What’s next? Caimans? I mean, what kind of shape do you guys think we're in over here in America if we can't even tell a crocodile from an alligator or a caiman?

Look, obviously we know the difference. It's just that Arthur Sanders74 is always out here trying to blur the lines.

Honestly, the only thing I care about right now is some good moussaka.

Maybe I'll just fly over Niš from above and drop some love and sarcasm on them via bomber planes. 🙂

Guns, for real: you were my Blanche, then you turned into Dženana, and now Jerry Robinson56 is just a total tangerine*. 😉
