The Best Books on Language and Thought | Five Books Expert Recommendations

My view of it, in retrospect, is that in the intervening fifty years – we're now fifty years from the publication of that book – it doesn't seem to have panned out. One cannot criticise it for that. To me, in some ways, this book is like Freud's first book on the unconscious. I don't buy the ego, the id, and the superego any more, and I don't buy the Oedipus complex, but I think that Freud was the most marvellous writer on the unconscious that ever lived. That fact that he was wrong is almost irrelevant because he got people thinking about things they never thought about before. To me, Chomsky is the same; I think he's wrong on a lot of this stuff but nobody thought about language in this way before he came along.

(5) Quora

Question: There's a mathematician flying to Frankfurt. On board he encounters a middle aged woman who challenges him to test his skills. She gives him the following 2 clues: He has to guess her daughters' ages.

• The product of my 3 daughters' ages is 36.
• The sum of my daughters' ages is your seat number.

The mathematician is unable to solve it and asks for a final hint.

• My youngest daughter has blue eyes.

The moment he hears the last clue, he is able to tell the ages correctly. Find the ages of the three daughters.

Solution: 

1. Using the first clue,
   a*b*c = 36, Possibilities are:
   (1 - 1 - 36)
   (1 - 2 - 18)
   (1 - 3 - 12)
   (1 - 4 - 9)
   (1 - 6 - 6)
   (2 - 2 - 9)
   (2 - 3 - 6)
   (3 - 3 - 4)
2. Using the second clue. You don't really know the seat number, but we would sum the possibilities anyway to see if it leads us a way.
   (a + b + c) = Seat Number
   (1 + 1 + 36) = 38
   (1 + 2 + 18) = 21
   (1 + 3 + 12) = 16
   (1 + 4 + 9) = 14
   (1 + 6 + 6) = 13
   (2 + 2 + 9) = 13
   (2 + 3 + 6) = 11
   (3 + 3 + 4) = 10
   Now logic says, if Mathematician's seat number would have been 11, he would have said the answer and wouldn't have required a third clue. He would need a third clue only in case of a confusion/doubt. We have two possibilities pointing towards 13.
3. Third clue - The youngest daughter has blue eyes.
   (1 + 6 + 6) = 13
   (2 + 2 + 9) = 13 - Twin sisters - cannot decide youngest.

Hence, the required ages are 1, 6 and 6. This was a que
