The story of 'how the higher IQ kills the common sense''
Yesterday night i shifted to a new apartment with my SUPER-INTELLIGENT-CUM ENGINEER FRIEND.It was pretty late when we shifted our belongings there and night passed by while arranging the same.Before i slept, I asked my friend which side was the East ?
But as the society was new for him as well,even he dint knew the answer.
Today afternoon, when i returned from my classes, my roomie told me which direction was the East side.There was a sense of achievement as he told me the answer.
So I went ahead and asked him how did he found it out ?
And he said ''it was a bit complicated but the logic worked.Look at the terrace of the neighboring apartment.There is a satellite dish fixed over there.All such satellite dishes located in the Indian subcontinent face in the southeast direction towards Geo-synchronous satellite located in the Kepler's orbit. So the direction towards which the it is faced is off-course, southeast "
But the average IQ guy like me was still left with the question that southeast comes between south and east, but how did he figured out which side was the east ?
But my roomie was intelligent enough to answer this question as well.
" If we face towards southeast ,then East falls on the left side " he said excitedly with the sense of achievement still sparkling in his eyes...
"So finally ,East is in that direction " he said pointing in the 'so-called-East-direction'
"Great logic" I said.
"but dint the sun rise this morning???"
