CAN YOU SOLVE THIS GAME?

Mr. X wants to buy a new car. 

The price of the car he wants to buy is 100 millions. 

But he doesn't have any money.

So he lends the money from Mr. Y for 50 millions and Mr. Z for 50 million. 

So he has debts about 100 millions. 

But, the actual price of the car is only 197 millions.

So he has 3 millions money back. 

He keeps 1 million and give back to Mr. Y for 1 million and Mr. Z for 1 million.

Now he owes Mr. Y for 49 millions and Mr. Z for 49 million, and he has 1 million in his pocket. 

But he is confused, the total debts => 49 + 49 = 98 millions

He has 1 million in his pocket, so 98+1 = 99 millions.

Then, where is the rest 1 million, so the total is 100 million as he owes at the first time?

Beneath the rain forest canopy, they trekked through a hauntingly beautiful jungle where snakes and frogs fly, pigs climb trees, giant carnivorous plants eat mice, and mushrooms glow at night.

What To Do About The Flu

Let's know about disease and illness, we'd better now these to overcome when they come to our life. If we have enough preparation, then we will easy to conquer the problem. Here is an article as I quote from the expert to overcome when the flu comes to our life....  
 
"You had the flu last winter and the winter before that. If there's one thing you know for sure it's this: you don't want to get it again this year. The bone-racking aches and pains, the chills, fever, coughs, and fatigue laid you out flat. And when the flu hits your household, it knocks everyone down – kids and adults alike – for at least a week, sometimes two.

If you can't afford to lose time to the flu, or if someone in your family has a medical condition that could be complicated by getting influenza, there are flu treatments you can take to reduce your chances of getting sick. And reduce your chances of passing the flu on to the rest of your family and your coworkers.

That's what this section of eDrugstore.md is all about: Learning what you need to know about how the flu bug works and then finding out what flu treatments are available to help you deal with it.

The Flu Bug Is Many Bugs
The flu is actually a number of viruses that infect the respiratory tract. Two main types of flu cause the outbreaks we experience every fall/winter: Influenza A and Influenza B. This is important to note because some drugs only target Influenza A. Others target both A and B. Once your doctor has diagnosed you and determined the kind of flu that's doing the rounds in your community, you can decide on the best type of flu treatment for your situation.

The Flu Shot
As you probably know by now, the flu shot is the single best thing you can do to prevent getting influenza. But the flu shot, while very effective, doesn't protect everyone. So you could still contract the flu. What then? While it's true there is no cure for influenza, there are several medications that can reduce your chances of getting the flu AND reduce the severity of the symptoms and the length of time you are sick.

Tamiflu
Prevents or reduces the severity of Influenza A and B. Tablet form.

Relenza
Prevents or reduces the severity of Influenza A and B. Inhaled."

Rumah Limas (Pyramid House)

Rumah Limas (Pyramid House) has a specific shape. In bahasa, limas has two syllables, they are

'lima' (five) and 'emas' (gold). Otherwise, the very specific characteristic can be seen on the roof which has pyramid shape and also has pillars or it can be said as house of stilts. Actually, it is a Palembang typical house. It is very appropriate with the condition on climate of Palembang city which lay mostly near to the beach.
Usually, type of house of stilts is built on the river bank face to the main. This house is completed with bengkilas room, to held the ceremonial dan celebration or some important meeting. Actually, among many house of stilts, the limas house has the similarity because it is stood by the pillars. But, the house of stilts has no ladders. Whereas, in Limas House we can find 3-4 level of ladders which has certain symbols.

Generally, those two types of house are designed in big size and has many rooms inside. As its function, a house is a place to live because inside it occurs the procces of formation of the character of its occupants.

The unique of this house is that its the original shape as the traditional custom of Palembang house. On the frontage, there are two straight mode ladders (single flight stairway). These are the simple ladders because of made by woods but still has a unique value due to steel completes these shape.

Becak

Becak is the cheapest transportation in Indonesia. It is driven by a person who is called "tukang becak". It has 3 wheels and 2 people capacity seats in the front. When we want to enjoy the scenery of the city we better use becak. Due to the operator is a human, then becak only serves short range to go. You can find many becaks in Indonesia especially in Java island. I mostly find it in yogyakarta and solo. It is so interesting to ride becak. Many Tourist domestic and overseas going around using becak.

Andong is a short range vehicle. It has 4 wheels and it is pulled by one or more horses. We can see Andong around Java Island especially in Yogyakarta and Solo. In Yogyakarta and Solo city, Andong takes a big role for the ancient public transportation. An Andong is driven by a "kusir". I often go to Jalan Malioboro by Andong in Yogyakarta, starting from south to the east of Jalan Malioboro. While riding an Andong you can look around the beautiful scenery of the town. It runs slowly and. It is very appropriate for those who want to make a city documentation. Andong now as an icon of huge Javanese culture and its heritage.
