HI,
I am 19 male, studying for a medical degree in New Delhi, India.

Hope to have a good time in vacations..:D

Re: Hello from medical student

By the way....has anyone heard of the riddle in which an egg-seller's eggs break and he tells how many eggs he had as follows...

"If counted in 2s, 1 remain
If counted in 3s, 2 remain..."

or would anyone like me to put the problem?
