I am part of the 99% who 猜不出. Not smart enough to even make a guess.
Just dropping by to send you good wishes on your 2nd vaccine injection next week, if I remember correctly. It is timely in light of the latest Covid development in Singapore. I heard side effects are usually stronger on 2nd injection. Take care.
Slept early to wake up at late hour to buy groceries and avoid the crowds. I thought of a logical answer while walking back from Sheng Siong. May not be right, but it sounds logical.
Number 1 son's name is 叫修养. Number 2's name is 叫素养. Number 3's name is 叫涵养. So, father's name is 叫.
Without your hint, I don't think I can think of this.
Those who got the answer without any hints belong to the 1%. You belong to the 1%:) I got the answer with helpful hint from you. Cannot count as part of 1% but the pleasure of getting an answer to a puzzle is good enough for me :)
LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy bad.
Forgot most Singaporean Chinese - our cheena is "limited company"...
Ouch!

hyom,
DeleteThanks! This time I'll be well prepared!
Panadol before and after ;)
And sleep early!
The first time I was too nonchalant; the last time I got a vaccination was in primary school I think!
我爸跟我爷爷姓
ReplyDeleteSillyinvestor,
DeleteHey! My first response was the same answer as you ;)
When people asks me, "What is 5 + 8 = ?"
I would say 13! (The math quiz last time was so funny!)
Similarly, when people asks me, "爸爸姓什么？“
My answer would be, "My dad's surname is the same as mine!"
Although I think both our answers are more elegant, that's not the "official" answer.
I got the official answer after thinking about it for a while.
I remembered the old play with punctuations - 无鱼饭也好.
Depending on where we put the comma, the meaning totally changes ;)
Its the same misdirection trick.
Once we write 99% can't get it, it will encourage 2 responses:
1) Some will give up immediately. (If others can't, I also can't!)
2) Encourage overachievers and try-hards to think too much and get it wrong!
LOL!

Part of the pleasure of trading is the intellectual "exercise" of the brain.
I see it as one giant MMO (massive multiplayer online) game ;)
