ONLY 1 IN A THOUSAND OR A “GENUS CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
8+11=?
Ok! Let’s start out: First of all, math is an exact science, there can be only 1 correct answer.
1. The answer must hold true for all the information given.
2. On the other hand, all the information must hold true.1+4=5, true. 2+5=12, not true.3+ 12=21, not true. Therefore the equation is either a lot of goobel-dy goop that cannot be correctly solved OR, there is information missing.
3. Let us explore some possibilities:1+4=5, 2x5+2=12, 3x6+3=21, 8x11+8=96; each line of the equation-information reads correctly.
4. Some people might claim there is ONE EXCEPTION=running total. They might try to claim the correct answer should be 1+4=5, 5+2+5=12, 12+3+6=221+8 +11 =40; once again each line APPEARS to read correctly.
5. However, a running total of 1+5=5, 5+2+5=12, 12+3+6=21 21+4+7=32, 32+5+8=45, 45+6+9=60, 60+7 +10=77, 77+8+11=96 ALSO READS CORRECTLY and; makes more sense.By writing this solution out in a Column, as originally shown; it is easy to see how (add a few more numbers to the sequence, if you so desire;96+9+12=117, 117+10+13=140). this solution meets ALL requirements. THE correct answer is 96. There can only be the one.

All "modern"country music, most rock is derived from the blues; therefore, Jimmy Rodger can well be considered the "God Father" of both.

George Jones - She's Mine
Just my thoughts but I much prefer this version to any other well sung, understandable (not sung entirely through the nose). You might also notice, no background singers, just George Jones. Well worth listening to, and remembering.

Con-servatives, Fib-erals, and Poli-tics.
Politics, n: [Poly "many" + tics "blood-sucking parasites".
The CON-servatives are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Fib-erals are the party that says government doesn't work; and, then they get elected; and prove it.
Conservative, n: A statesman who is enamoured of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal who wishes to replace them with others.
A Con-servative is also a man or a woman who believes that nothing should be done for the first time. However, their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving

Under democratic party style politics, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other parties are unfit to rule — notably, they commonly succeed, and they are always right.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.
