The Bubble - 10/11, Term 1, Week 3

the bubbleissue 50|18.10.10 -31.10.10

Welcome to The Bubble - The definitive guide to everything happening in your Union this fortnight. We’ll be delivering it to your halls, putting it on the buses and dropping it off in the Union for your perusal. Make sure you check out the listings on the back to know what’s going on; you can also keep up-to-date with news on this page and enter our competition on the back to win some prizes.

Week 3 is your chance to vote in this year’s Autumn Elections - make sure you take the time to have your say in who should be on Union Council this year. There’s also ‘Higher Fees? The Big Debate’ this week – pop along and find out how your education could be at risk this year.

Week 4 sees the Halloween ‘End of the World’ Party – make sure you get your tickets early to avoid disappointment and get involved with the Community Reps Scheme by coming to the info session.

As ever, if you’ve got any feedback, questions or concerns drop into SUHQ and we’ll see what we can do to help.

Be part of it.

Coach places are heavily subsidised and will cost £5 to get you there and back, sign up now at www.warwicksu.com/demo2010.

brain teasers

There is an island, its inhabitants are all perfect logicians (if there is a logical conclusion they will instantly deduce it). No one knows the colour of their eyes, there are no mirrors or reflective surfaces on the island and the waters surrounding it are too murky to show a reflection.

Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island. Any islanders who have figured out their own eye colour leave the island, and the rest stay. Everyone can see all the other islanders at all times and keeps a count of the number of people they see with each eye colour, but they cannot otherwise communicate. Everyone on the island knows these rules and abides by them.

100 islanders have blue eyes, 100 have brown and the shaman has green eyes. The islanders do not know how many people there are of each eye colour, so a blue-eyed islander would be able to see 100 people with brown eyes and 99 with blue but for all they know they could have blue, brown, green, grey or red eyes.

The only islander allowed to speak is the shaman and only on one auspicious day when the planets are correctly aligned. On that day the Shaman says: ‘I can see someone who has blue eyes.’

Qu. Who leaves the island, and on what night?

#1: the riddle

Qu.1: The flag of which African state features a green device sometimes known as ‘Solomon’s Seal’ on a red background?

Qu.2: The Greek for ‘wanderer’ is the origin of the term for which type of celestrial body?

Qu.3: What object has a moment of inertia equal to two fiths its mass times radius squared?

Qu.4: Which of Shakespeare’s tragic heroes says of himself that he ‘does murder sleep’?

Qu.5: Lobamba is the legislative and and royal capital of which country of South Africa?

Qu.6: Which chemical element has as its symbol the single letter that is worth 5 points in the game of Scrabble?

Qu.7: In computing, ubuntu, suse and red hat are among the distributions of what operating system?

#2: university challenge test
