By the way, this reminds me of a bit I read some time ago on "outside the box" thinking. There is a test question that says:
You are given a barometer. How do you determine the height of a certain building? The expected answer would be to measure the air pressure on the ground and at the top of the building and calculate from there, but there are some other answers: Use the barometer as a weight on the end of a strong, non-stretching line. From the roof, lower the barometer to the ground. Mark the length of the line, and measure it. Drop the barometer from the roof. Determine the time it takes to hit the ground. Given the time and acceleration, calculate the height of the building. Find a building official and say "I'll give you this nice barometer if you tell me how tall the building is."

On top of that, you can get it's height in barometers, by placing it on the wall, making a mark, moving it up, etc. You can also do something with a pendulum, but I can't remember quite what it was.

wolmm wojmm wokmm
wolmn wojnm woknm wolmo wojom wokmo wolnm wojoo woknm wolnn wojno wokno wolno wojom wokom wolom wojon wokon wolon wojmn wokoo woloo wojnn wokmn This would be from a thread I'm participating in at another forum, the basic premise is the person gives you a word, only instead of being in letters, it's in numbers (in this case 96566), they then give you a clue ("Think animal carnival"), and you have to decode what the number is. The catch is, the numbers are numbers from a phone, so 2 can only represent abc etc. So, I guessed that the first two letters were probably WO, and tried all permutations from there, unfortunately they all seem to be nonsense. (No helping me now, I will figure this out!), of course, this approach fails if I allow more then three, there are a total of 324 combinations, and I am not going to list them all :P

A Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Law Enforcement pamphlet gives the public characteristics to identify terrorists that include buying baby formula, beer, wearing Levi jeans, carrying identifying documents like a drivers license and traveling with women or children.
