While traveling through a dense jungle in South America, a tourist and his guide stumble upon an old Mayan temple. He asks the guide for details.
To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is.
“This temple is 1503 years old”, replies the guide.
Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure.

“Easy”, replies the guide, “the archaeologists said the temple was 1500 years old, and that was three years ago”
The teacher decided to ask the class a riddle
The teacher decided to ask the class a riddle. “Does anyone know how to put 2 holes into one hole?”.
No one knew the answer so it was their homework to go home.
The kids came back the next day and still, none of them can figure out how to put 2 holes into one.
“I will show you the answer now children,” says the teacher as he looks pretty chuffed with himself.
He proceeds to hold his pointer finger against his thumb making a little ring. He then puts the ring he made with his fingers over his nose and says “look, here is the hole I made with my fingers and it is covering the 2 holes on my nose”
A little while later, little Johnny stands up and asks “excuse me sir, but do you know how to put 7 holes into one hole?”
The teacher replies “I have no idea Johnny, why don’t you tell us how you put 7 holes into one hole?”

Little Johnny replies “You simply sit on your recorder, sir”.
