“Tongue = 3, Eye = 4, Nose = ?” What number goes in the question mark?12rank/position
See the answer
9
An equation that looks disjointed at first glance: “tongue = 3, eye = 4, nose = ?”. In fact, it’s a quiz that replaces the five senses with numbers. The tongue is associated with taste, so the number is 3. The eye is associated with sight, so the number is 4. The nose is associated with smell, so the number is 9. The numbers themselves don’t carry any deep meaning, so the more you try to find some ulterior intent, the more you might tie yourself in knots. It’s a refreshing, insight-based riddle that falls into place once you shift your perspective.
In 17th-century Turkey, drinking coffee was punishable by death.13rank/position
In 17th-century Turkey, drinking coffee in public was strictly prohibited, and violators could face severe punishments, including the death penalty.
Murad IV, the ruler when Turkey was still known as the Ottoman Empire, disliked coffee and reportedly set examples by destroying coffeehouses; he is said to have imposed extreme penalties such as forty lashes for drinking one cup and having offenders sewn into a sack and thrown into the sea for drinking two.
People continued to drink coffee in secret and even opened cafés, making enforcement extremely difficult, and over time the ban on coffee was gradually relaxed.
Today, Turkish coffee is inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list and is an important part of Turkey’s culture.
