Cliches and Puzzles - Assignment Example

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones: You can imagine what will happen if a person living in a glass house throws stones and the victim decides to strike back.

The glass will be destroyed by stones. Therefore, in real life, if one knows that they can also be victims in a given way they should avoid doing bad things to people as the same can be done to them. Commonly, you people will go inflicting pain on other people and complain when the same is done to you. Our lives are like glass houses that will be destroyed in case stones (insults, hate, and disunity) are thrown at us. We should therefore avoid throwing the same on our friends.

This puzzle is given as an ending strategy to engage the audience and make the speech interesting. It is not easy to demystify the puzzle unless one explores the letters that are used in making the phrase. Words that read the same from the left and also from the right are called palindromes. This is an exact example. The word dividers are ignored as was done in this case. Therefore, in this puzzler, against what anyone would have reasoned from a mathematical approach, the answer just lies in the order of the letters. Various answers quickly flashed in my mind first thinking that no number is never odd or even since my first choice that is zero turned out to be an even number. The professor did not engage the exact letters that make the words the same as I did at first. Other palindromes include; 1. A nut for a jar of tuna, 2. Aerate pet area, and 3. Are we not drawn onward to a new era?
