My letters become three faces,
What are the three words?
Sailed, ideals and ladies.
Sailed, ideals and ladies.
I run cold and hot,
What am I?
Blood. People can be referred to as hot blooded, and certain animals are cold-blooded. Your veins look blue, but the blood is actually red.

Silver tears falling down,
Tinsel.
Tinsel emulates icicles, which are like tears and are clear in nature. Tinsel sparkles and shines, and is used to adorn elephants and horses in India. Tinsel is made from silver, PVC and was once made from lead. Tinsel brings back fond memories to many (including myself) and represents far more than a simple metallic thread would normally warrant.
Happy Holidays!

How can you alter the following equation by a single stroke to make it correct?
5 + 5 + 5 = 550
5 4 5 + 5 = 550
Add a diagonal line on the top left of the first plus sign to convert + into a 4. You could also put a slash through the equal sign to make ≠ (not equal) but that’s not as cool.

You have two buckets. One holds exactly five gallons and the other three gallons. How can you measure exactly four gallons of water into the five gallon bucket?
Assume you have an unlimited supply of water and that there are no measurement markings of any kind on the buckets.
Fill the 3-gallon bucket. Pour the 3 gallons of water into the 5-gallon bucket Fill the 3-gallon bucket again. Fill up the 5-gallon bucket with the 3-gallon bucket, leaving you with 1 gallon left in the 3-gallon bucket. Empty out the 5-gallon bucket. Pour the remaining 1 gallon of water from the 3-gallon bucket into the 5-gallon bucket. Fill the 3-gallon bucket. Pour the 3 gallons of water from the 3-gallon bucket into the 5-gallon bucket leaving you with 4 gallons of water in the 5-gallon bucket. Alternate solution:
Fill up the 5 gallon bucket Pour it into 3 gallon bucket, leaving 2 gallons Empty out the 3 gallon bucket Pour the 2 gallons in the 5 gallon bucket into the 3 gallon bucket Fill up the 5 gallon bucket and pour it into the 3 gallon bucket until it’s full, leaving 4 gallons in the 5 gallon bucket.
