Hello everyone, I would like us to challenge/taste our thinking ability/IQ by asking ourselves questions. Here is the rule,
1. Before you post a question, please be sure to log in every day to see if someone has gotten the answer, and don't forget to confirm(YES or No) to any answer posted.
2. After seven days( to allow us think properly/research well), and no one seems to get the correct answer, the poster will say the correct answer.
3. Please do not post another question until the previous question has been answered.

I believe we shall adhere to the rules. Don't forget that you are matured. Please don't act immature.
Anyway here comes my questions:-

A monk was walking in the monastery garden during a period of meditation. He encountered another monk, who was smoking as he walked slowly along the path.
"Did you get permission to smoke during mediation?" asked the first monk.
"Yes, I was given permission."
"But I asked if I could smoke during meditation and was turned down."

Question:- Why did the first monk turned down and the second monk permitted to smoke during meditation?

Post d answer, na?

Smoking during Mediation is permitted, smoking during MEDITATION is not .

Phony200:

Smoking during Mediation is permitted, smoking during MEDITATION is not .

No, that is not the correct answer. Try again.

Simple! The first asked and was not given. The second took the permission to.

"But I asked if I could smoke during meditation and was turned down."

Question:- Why did the first monk turned down and the second monk permitted to smoke during meditation?

The first monk asked if he could smoke during meditation, while the second asked if he could meditate during smoking.
Both monks wanted to smoke and meditate simultaneously, but the phrasing differed in what was emphasized.
The example is often used to illustrate that the presentation affects the results, even when the facts are same.

It is a silly question and doesn't challenge one's thinking IMO.
