Hi everybody,

I'm Moises from Santa Perpètua. I'm 32 years old and this is my first time I study english with a userful tool like this.

Let me tell you about two puzzles I found out in unit 1. The first puzzle is talking about two identical twins. I can imagine them very tall. They entry into a bar because they want to drink something, maybe beer or coke. Finally, they both drink the same, but one of them do it most quickly than the other. When the twin who is drinking slowly finish his cup, he die immediately. I've been thinking about the solution, and finally I cheked the answer and I saw the explanation, so it's, the twin who drunks slow died because in his cup the ice cube melted before he finish the drink. The ice cubes was poisoned.

The second puzzle talk about a married couple that are in the airport because he must to take a plane at a specific hour. While he was onboard the plane the wife was watching a film in their house. Suddently a new flash appear in TV and notice about a plane crash. It was the same plane that take her husband at the same hour, but she likes no worry about and continues watching the film. The explanation is that she was watching a recorded film, and so the crash plane was placed in a past time.
