What weeps without eye or eyelid, her tears rejoicing sons and fathers-
And when she laughs and no tears fall, her laughter saddens all hearts.

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steal;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Ya'll got it right! :-)

It came, though I fetched it; when come it was gone,
It stayed but a moment, it could not stay long;
I ask not who saw it, it could not be seen,
And yet might be felt by a king or queen.

You were close: the answer was +a sigh+.

We are light and airy creatures,
All of different voice and features;
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you'll find in jet,
T'other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within.
If the fifth you should pursue,
It will never fly from you.

:-)

and the ironic thing is that it happened _twice_! x)

IKR! And exactly the same wrong name too! :P If it happens again, I'll be forced to conclude that there's some conspiracy going on. :P

Hopefully next time it will be the right name XD When he called "Nicolas Anderson" I was like "Nooo he means Alexander…" LOL ;-)

LOL :D Another thing that made me think he couldn't be talking about me was the fact that I hadn't even sent an audition to the Game Show! I'm still not certain why I was chosen, since all the odds seemed to be against me.

Does anyone enjoy cipher puzzles?
I wouldn't know--I'm not sure what they are. Do tell! :)

I'm not sure if that's what they're actually called, but I mean they're kind of like coded messages…

My really bad attempt at explaining: Basically, it's when you write a message out in a code, send the coded message and the cipher (the thing you're supposed to use to code the message) to someone else, and let them decipher the message.

Ex: A= 1 B= 2 etc.

8 5 12 12 15!

I did some really complicated ones in Saxon Algebra II using an Excel spreadsheet and a graphing calculator with matrix abilities…

It is because INTJ is the best personality out there.

Is this an opinion, or a supported fact? (Presently I'm assuming the former.) And besides, it isn't as if they would have known that I am an INTJ.

It is an opinion, but if C. S. Lewis, Gandalf, Mr. Darcy, and Obiwan (how exactly did they all take personality tests?) are all INTJs, I will let you draw your own conclusions. For me, the clincher is that my Dad and Sarah are both INTJs. INTJs make sense when they do talk (which is not so much as to be annoying), and they don't let their emotions get carried away with them. I like working with INTJs, whereas in most other cases I would far prefer working alone. What they think of me is another matter…
I am ISTJ. So close yet so far. However, ISTJs supposedly make good judges, adjudicators, etc., so I will venture to make the call that INTJ is my favorite personality, and at least one of the best of the personalities in general.

They could have guessed that you were an INTJ. I guessed before I knew you were one (off of your similarities in thought processes to Dad and Sarah).

1) A beggar had a brother who lived in Spain but the brother in Spain said that he had no brother. How could this be?

2) How much dirt can be removed from a hole 3 feet long 4 feet wide and 7 feet deep?
