    How many matches will be played to determine the winner?

    Answer:-

    If there is to be only one winner, than there are 99 loses, therefore, there were 99 matches. You can also do this with math: in round 1 there would be 50 matches to produce 50 winners, round 2 would have 25 matches to produce 25 winners, round 3 would have 12 matches to produce 12 winners ( one person of the 25 winners would have to wait until later to play again ), round 4 would have 6 matches to produce 6 winners, round 5 would have 3 matches to produce 3 winners, round 6 would have 2 matches ( the player left out before would now play to make it an even field ) to produce 2 winners, these 2 would play for the championship. So: 50+25+12+6+3+2+1=99

    Alternate Answer:
    The first round is 50 matches eliminating 50 golfers, the second is 25 matches eliminating 25 golfers. For the third round the remaining 25 are divided into pools of 5 at random and face two matches each (each vs. a different randomly selected opponent in the pool). I think you will find that there will be two golfers and two only from each pool who will be dual winners. They will advance. The third round was then 5 pools of 5 matches so 25 more matches (100 total so far). The fourth round will be 5 matches eliminating 5 golfers. These five participate in a pool (fifth round) just like the third round (5 more matches and 2 emerge). The two play the championship match. So by round the matches are: 50+25+25+5+5+1 = 111 matches

    The Lazy Farmer

  • The rain gods had been smiling the whole night. The roads were muddy and the potholes were filled to the brim.

    It was the day for the market and Raju the farmer was riding his cart along the country road. He had to reach the market early so that he can sell his hay. It was very difficult for the horses to drag the load through the deep mud. On his journey suddenly the wheels of the horse cart sank into the mire.

    The more the horses pulled, the deeper the wheel sank. Raju climbed down from his seat and stood beside his cart. He searched all around but could not find anyone around to help him.

    Cursing his bad luck, he looked dejected and defeated. He didn’t make the slightest effort to get down on the wheel and lift it up by himself. Instead he started cursing his luck for what happened. Looking up at the sky, he started shouting at God, “I am so unlucky! Why has this happened to me? Oh God, come down to help me.”

    After a long wait, God finally appeared before Raju. He asked Raju, “Do you think you can move the chariot by simply looking at it and whining about it? Nobody will help you unless you make some effort to help yourself. Did you try to get the wheel out of the pothole by yourself? Get up and put your shoulder to wheel and you will soon find the way out.”

    Raju was ashamed of himself. He bent down and put his shoulder to the wheel and urged on the horses.

    In no time the wheel was out of the mire. Raju learnt his lesson. He thanked God and carried on his journey happily.

    Moral of the story :

     “God helps those who help themselves”.

    The Foolish Bear

  • There lived a bear by a riverside in a jungle. One day, he felt hungry. He came out of his den to look for food.

    The bear went to the river to catch some fish. Standing by the side of the river, he stared into the water. Soon enough, he saw a fish. He pounced on the fish, and caught it. But then, the bear thought, “This is too small a fish to fill my stomach. I must catch a bigger fish.”

    So, he let off the small fish. He waited for some time, till he caught another fish. This time too the fish was small. He thought that the small fish would not fill his belly. So he again let the fish go off.

    This way he caught many small fish, but let all of them go off, still thinking that the small fish would not fill his belly. By sunset, the bear had not caught any big fish.

    What was worse, having kept standing for very long, the bear now felt tired.

    He slowly began to feel sorry for having let off so many fish. He realized that all those small fish, together would have filled up his belly, but now it was too late. He had to remain hungry that day.

    Moral : A Small Fish in Hand is worth a Big Fish in the Water.

    The Two Lizards

  • On a warm winter morning, two Lizards sat on a high wall of an old mill.

    They were enjoying the bright sunshine.

    One Lizard kept dreaming all the time and was unhappy. The other was older and wiser.

    “How miserable is our situation!” cried the Unhappy Lizard. “No one notices us. We are small and have such dull lives. Look at the other bigger animals. They are so royal and majestic!”

    The Unhappy Lizard sighed, “I wish I was born a deer. To be quick and have great, big horns! And live proudly in the royal forest.”

    At that very moment, a pack of dogs ran past, chasing a deer. The deer was tired and the hungry dogs pounced on it.
    The Lizards watched in horror.

    The Wise Lizard said to his complaining friend, “You wanted to be in place of this poor deer!”

    “You should learn from what you just saw. You are not beautifully coloured or quick on your feet. But, you are alive! Destiny is kind to you. You are small and safe from danger, unlike the bigger animals!”

  • Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.

    Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

    Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.

    At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.

    Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the the person whose name was written on it.

    Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

    The speaker began - Exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

    Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness.

    And this is the Purpose of Human Life

    The Boy and the Wolf

  • Once there was a shepherd boy who had to look after a flock of sheep. One day, he felt bored and decided to play a trick on the villagers. He shouted, “Help! Wolf! Wolf!”

    The villagers heard his cries and rushed out of the village to help the shepherd boy. When they reached him, they asked, “Where is the wolf?”

    The shepherd boy laughed loudly, “Ha, Ha, Ha! I fooled all of you. I was only playing a trick on you.”

    A few days later, the shepherd boy played this trick again.

    Again he cried, “Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Again, the villagers rushed up the hill to help him and again they found that boy had tricked them. They were very angry with him for being so naughty.

    Then, some time later, a wolf went into the field. The wolf attacked one sheep, and then another and another. The shepherd boy ran towards the village shouting, “Help! Help! Wolf! Help!Somebody!”

    The villagers heard his cries but they laughed because they thought it was another trick. The boy ran to the nearest villager and said, “A wolf is attacking the sheep. I lied before, but this time it is true!”

    Finally, the villagers went to look. It was true. They could see the wolf running away and many dead sheep lying on the grass.

    We may not believe someone who often tells lies, even when he tells the truth.

    The Cat, Partridge and the Hare

  • Long time ago there lived a partridge under a tree. The partridge one day decided to go to the fields and indulge itself in the food there. But it did not return for many days as it found the fields a good source of food.

    In the meantime a hare came along one day and occupied the same dwelling which the partridge used to live in. The partridge however returned from the fields having grown plump from the food. It wanted to claim the dwelling for itself. A fight ensued and the hare was saying that the dwelling belonged to whoever occupied it.

    Then they both decided to contact a supposedly learned cat. So one day, they both approached the cat with their problem. The cat, which was actually a hypocrite who earned his livelihood by posing as a priest, decided to take advantage of the situation. On hearing the partridge and the hare from a distance, it said, "Sorry! I can't hear you from that far a distance because of old age. Don't worry I mean no harm to you. Come closer and both of you tell me your stories."

    They were fooled into coming near and as soon as he could lay his hands on both of them, he killed them both and had a meal.

    When two people fight, the third mediator has the advantage.
