Interesting news items this week:


Standing 1.6 meters tall and weighing about 50 kilograms, she can understand others, speak, blink with her eyes and makes several facial expressions. But she is not human, rather an android developed by a team of South Korean scientists. It is only the second time in the world that an android has been developed _ Japan made the first one. EveR-1, a combination of Eve and robot, looks just like a Korean female.....From a distance, the android could be confused with a real, flesh and blood human being.

 

Chinese weather specialists used chemicals to engineer Beijing's heaviest rainfall of the year, helping to relieve drought and rinse dust from China's capital, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday. Technicians with the Beijing Weather Modification Office fired seven rocket shells containing 163 cigarette-size sticks of silver iodide over the city's skies on Thursday, Xinhua said.  The reaction that occurred brought as much as four-tenths of an inch of rain...

 

Wendy Dershem may think twice before leaving that egg roll on her plate at her next Chinese buffet.  The Des Moines woman, her boyfriend and her two children were kicked out of a restaurant last week after management accused her of leaving too much food on her plate. "They told us we are not welcome there anymore," said Dershem, a repeat customer at the Dragon House buffet. "We waste too much food. But the buffet is all you can eat. And you know kids. They won't always eat everything and they want something else." Dershem said she paid her $5.95 fee but was abruptly told to leave after eating one plate of food. "They just take one bite and throw it away," said cashier Lin Huyen. "They take four egg rolls and crab rangoon, take one bite of egg roll and throw the whole plate. That is wasting food." .. Dragon House manager Kent Cao said his restaurant offers all you can eat buffet, not all you can waste. Dershem's family took food, didn't finish it and then piled on the same food again, he said. "We would welcome her back if she has respect and knows what she wants."

 

A Westmoreland County woman is facing charges for allegedly getting a teen so drunk at a party he had to be hospitalized. Police said 18-year-old Edward Coleman's blood-alcohol level was 0.417 percent. That’s more than five times the state’s legal limit for driving. A level at which coma, or even death, is possible. Deserie Ginardi, 43, is accused of hosting the underage drinking party. She is charged with reckless endangerment and furnishing alcohol to minors. Police accused the North Huntingdon woman of knowing that Coleman was playing drinking games with other young people in her basement last month, giving him a syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting, and telling others at the party not to call 911. Ginardi denied the charges. "The kid came to my house drunk," she said. "They are blowing things up so much."

The 711 problem.

 

A man walks into a Seven Eleven store and buys four items.

 

The cashier multiplies each item together and announces that the total cost is conveniently $7.11.

 

The man says "What's wrong with you? You don't multiply items, you add them up!

 

So the cashier does add them, and announces the cost is still  $7.11.

 

How much was each item?

I had a solution after an hour of $0.79 $1.81, $1.92 & $2.59,

but it is not exact.

 

An internet search would find a great solution that I'll publish next week.

 

Can you find a similar one?
