That someone not from the Soviet Union could be the number one chess player was hard to believe a few years back. Now the world champion is from India and the one with the best ranking is from Norway. And, by the way, the Soviet Union no longer exists.
I am from Norway and I suggest that the name of the country should be changed. It should start with a C.
Be amazed!
Be bemused and amused!
- I had a bad dream last night.
- You had? Me too!
- I was sitting on the floor inside a big square painted on the floor.
- I was dividing by zero.
- I was 3m from one corner, 4m from another, and 5m from a third.
- And I was awarded the Nobel Prize in Mathematics.
- But that prize does not exist!
- Does your square exist?
- I am trying to find out its size.
- One million Swedish kronor.

3 Men Go Into A Motel. The Man Behind The Desk Said The Room Is $30. So Each Man Paid $10 And Went To The Room.
A While Later The Man Behind The Desk Realized The Room Was Only $25. So He Sent The Bellboy To The 3 Guys’ Room With $5.
On The Way The Bellboy Couldn’t Figure Out How To Split $5 Evenly Between 3 Men, So He Gave Each Man A $1 And Kept The Other $2 For Himself.
This Meant That The 3 Men Each Paid $9 For The Room, Which Is A Total Of $27, Add The $2 That The Bellboy Kept = $29.
Where Is The Other Dollar?
