Classic 25 Horse Race Problem :

You have 25 horses and racetrack on which you can race among at most 5 horses.Outcome of a race only tells you the relative speeds of the horses in the race.At least how many races are required to find 3 fastest horse?

Ans : 7 races

Divide the horses into 5 groups of 5 horses each.(Randomly)
Make a race among each group.(Total 5 races.)
Now you can eliminate 2 horses from each group which came 4th and 5th in their group race.(Reason : Horses which are 4th and 5th fastest in their group can't be in top 3 among all horses.)
Make a race between winners of each group.(6th race)
The winner of the race will be the fastest horse.
Now you can eliminate horses which came 4th and 5th in race and their respective group also.
The horse which came third in the 6th race is the only candidate from its group.(Reason:It is the fastest in its group.It came third so others in the group will not be fastest 3 horses.)
Make a 7th race between Second & third fastest horse of a group whose fastest horse came first in 6th race,Runners up of 6th race and second fastest of its group,Second Runners up of the 6th race.
The result of the 7th race will decide the second and third fastest horse.

Harsha Bhogle's famous one liners

2010-07-17T01:15:00.000-07:00

These are some Harsh Bhogle's famous one liners...
1) Ind vs Nzl. (in nzl 2002-2003) Sehwag had many lucky escapes. When he was dropped once again ..
Harsha : " Its been that kind of a day that Sehwag can walk blindfolded across a busy highway and not get run over ."

2) T-20 World Cup Semifinals - Yuvraj hit a six (119 meters)of brett lee, which went outside the stadium in
durban...
Harsha : "Are there people working late in the offices....... we want our ball back"

3) Talent can open the first door, the second door, the third door but only attitude can open the last door for you !!!

4) India vs Eng in Natwest Series..When number of catches dropped in bowling of Zaheer Khan..
Harsha : "Zaheer is going to write BCCI a letter that Can i find a team that can hold on to catches??"

5) It is important to surround yourself with people who are better than you.

6) Ind vs Aus in Australia...It was rain affected match and australia got a new target of 225(dont remember exactly) in 32 overs.And Gilchrist was off to a flier.He was smashing indians all over the park.And Ganguly was changing his fielders continuously as and when ball was going to boundary.Then gilchrist edged one which went to the boundary.And Harsha then said....It seems like that gaps are moving depending on where Gilchrist is hitting the ball.

Some one liners from other commentators..
1) In IPL,Rajasthan Royal's opener Michale Lumb started off with 2 consecutive sixes and then got out on third ball,the commnetator : "He came like a thunder and went like a storm".

How to unlock a Folder Lock

2010-07-08T23:12:00.000-07:00

Folder Lock is very popular to make your data private but today we gonna crack the password of Folder Lock.
We will not reset the password but we will obtain the password..
I always knew that its password must be stored in Registry somewhere...and with little bit of search,i finally found the registry key where the password has been stored....
Here is a trick to unlock a foder lock...
This is how its works,

First open REGEDIT by typeing on RUN command, and go to the following path :[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\QualityControl]

if you dont find _pack key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...try to find out it in HKEY_CURRENT_USER..
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\QualityControl]

Then search for the key..."_pack"...this key contains your password but in encrypted form....

That's how we will decrypt it...

Ignore sign ~~~~ , example zbkb~~~~~~~...it would be like this "zbkb"
After that REVERSE the encrypted password.... in this case "zbkb" to "bkbz"
it means you bring the last word to the beggining and start to doing all that until all the encryted password you arrange.

The next we have to do is begin to move one character each to backward..
here the example: "b" becomes "a"...."k" becomes "j"...
in our examples..."bkbz" becomes "ajay"...it is our password....

Let me give you highlight above algorithem...
Original _pack key....."zbkb"
1) Reverse Key....."zbkb" -----> "bkbz"
2) Replace each character with its previous letter according to alphabetical order...
   "bkbz"------->"ajay"

Special note....
1) a space becomes......"!" character...
2) if a number is used in password then replace it with it previous number..
3) if a special character is used then u have to find out its ascii value then replace the character with
    character having ascii value just one less then our encrypted character.
This is how you can unlock a folder lock...cheers..

Finally England conquers World Cup after 35 years

2010-05-17T09:16:00.000-07:00

                Beaten by Pakistan in 1992 World Cup Final,till then England never had made to ICC World Cup Finals.But the curse ended on 16th May,2010,As England team reached to the final of World T-20 lead by Paul CollingWood. And also went on to win the trophy by beating Australia convincingly in the final.
   Ian Chappel said that "This is most confident England side i have ever seen." Kevin Peterson was in the form of his life during the T20 WC. I think KP, Eoin Morgan and Graham Swan were the main players of the team.They sail their team through to the world cup trophy and their hunt for major ICC trophy ended after 35 years.
Though KP was in the form of his life and had played match winning innings for england in semis and finals, Eoin Morgan really made his mark in the team and impressed everyone with his innovative shots and his calmness under tense situation.He is the find of the tournament.He is the batsman to watch out for in the future.
                England had tough situation during league round. As they lose their first match against west-indies.England batting first made 191 but because of rain west-indies got new target of 60 from 6 overs and they reached the total with ease.Then the second game against ire-land was washed out due to rain. So without winning any game in league stage,England with better runrate were through to super eight.
                England then never looked back and reached to semis by winning all three matches in super 8s.In this run they first won against Pakistan(defending champions) followed by win against South Africa and New-Zealand.They then beat Srilanka to reach to Finals against Australia (their traditional rivals).
               The final was very one sided as England chased down 148 runs with 18 balls to spare.Craig Keisswetter got the man of the match award and Kevin Pieterson was announced Man of the Series.It was double bonanaza for KP as he also become father during the series.

Putting desired wallpapaer as folder background with explanation

2010-04-14T11:27:00.000-07:00

In windows-XP,Operating System creates a file called desktop.ini to manipulate the folder view.
So,using desktop.ini file ,you can put a wallpaper as folder background.

Step 1 : Make one folder "FolderSettings".And paste the desired wallpaper image into it.This folder must be within your desired folder behind which u want to put wallpaper.This is done because even if you delete actual wallpaper then also it works.If you copy and paste this folder to your friend's PC then also it works.Because image is fetched from "FolderSettings" Folder.

Step 2 : Create desktop.ini file if doesn't exists within your desired folder.desktop.ini files are created by system usually and they have system & hidden attributes.So you will not be able to see them.So,in folder option-click on show hidden file and folders and uncheked on don't show system file.Now you can see desktop.ini file.Now,put the belowed code into it...

[ExtShellFolderViews]
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=FolderSettings\"wallpaper name"

And you are all done...

Example :
Suppose you want a background image for folder d:/ajay
so first create a folder named "FolderSettings" within d:/ajay
put desired wallpaper into the folder d:/ajay/FolderSettings
now create or edit into desktop.ini file which also should be within d:/ajay

The exam consisted of 6 sections.All were objective types of questions.

Duration : 60 minutes
Questions : 100

The first 3 sections were : 1)Verbal Reasoning(20 que.)

   3)English-3(10 que)
They will make total marks of this 3 sections.

The cut off was for first 3 section and last 3 section.There was no negative marking.

The paper was quite easy.Even if you haven't prepared anything , then also u can clear this exam.But u just need to be a little quicker than others.There were some tough questions,never try to solve them,because there are still questions left that are really easy.If time permits,then and then go for those tough questions.

The results were declared in just 15 minutes.Luckily i was selected.Then i was given a form and we had to fill the form.

There were two interviews:1)Technical 2)H.R.

I really performed poorly in Technical.First he asked about my family-background.As i said i m from anand.HE asked me who was founder of AMUL dairy?i said i don't know.Then

then he said u can go now...
After 15-20 minutes H.R. came and said i was not selected.Most of my friends cleared the technical round,just i couldn't.

2010-03-18T11:51:00.000-07:00

First you need to fill up the Gate form...from that the journey begins...you can get it from canera banks..forms are published in nov-dec...

You will get a brochure with it and with details of your corresponding course's subjects.The topic wise description is given and you strictly need to follow the syllabus.

Now you can start reading after knowing what to read....You can start with your subject's books that you have or some other reference books if you need.Try to grasp the basics..how things are coming, whats happening and because of what..you need to understand the basics..and you are all done.

after you have covered one topic or section entirely ,you can go for previous years GATE's papers question form this topics..The best way to find out is..."GATEFORUM MATERIAL" ..They have separate books for each subject and given previous year's questions sorted according with subjects..so you can practise those..and solutions are also given with explanations..some answers are wrong but you can manage those if u have learned the basics well..

Go step by step...don't try to learn fast..go slowly and try to understand as much as you can ,this will help you very much if u r facing new questions in GATE exam.

Listen,if you can't finish whole syllabus it's fine...but if you have prepared for any topic then you should be able to answer all the questions from it..that's the secret key...

You will not see high scores in GATE..so make sure whatever you prepare..you prepare them entirely..otherwise don't prepare...

Mobile Cam as Web Cam

2010-02-17T04:37:00.000-08:00

Ever thought that you could use your mobile camera also as your computer webcam? It is easier than setting up a standalone webcam on your PC. All it requires is installing a software on your mobile and on your PC! But this works only for Symbian mobile phone , Windows Mobile phones and RIM Blackberry.

There are quite a few softwares that do the job but I will talk about only one here that does the job quite efficiently.

The software I am talking about is Mobiola Webcam, which is not a freeware but can be purchased for $20. So is it worth spending the extra bucks on it? According to me yes and no. If you already own a webcam then there is little reason for you to purchase this. But if you don’t own one then it a great way to add webcam functionality to your PC. Also it ensures that you can use enable any PC with webcam functionality by just installing the software on the PC.

Some of the main functions of the software are :

Transforms your mobile phone into high-quality PC webcam.
Works as a mobile webcam using USB or Bluetooth connectivity.
Screen Capture functionality, when device screen can be demonstrated on PC real-time.
Works with Skype, Yahoo, YouTube, MSN, AOL IM, ICQ and many others.

The application consists of two parts, a client application that resides on the phone and and a webcam server application that is installed on your PC that processes the images sent by the phone. You can also tinker with contrast, image quality, compression rate and other settings.

So how to set the application up? It is a piece of cake and you hardly need to do anything, you need to install the client application on the phone and the webcam server application on the PC. Then you can connect your mobile to PC by either USB cable or via Bluetooth and launch the application. Fire up your favourite chat client with video conferencing functionality and start using your mobile camera as a webcam!
