The first five sessions of the word-guessing activity as part of the \"Enjoy Learning English\" series have been successfully completed. First and foremost, I would like to thank all my dear friends and supporters for their participation. This word-guessing activity is actually a good way to train logical thinking skills; in theory, those who have received good logical training can guess the answer within 15 valid questions. I’m very pleased to see that everyone has mastered the rules well; there were some excellent questions as well, which helped everyone find the answers quickly. Part 1: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-963010-1-1.html Part 2: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-963287-1-1.html Part 3: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-963719-1-1.html Part 4: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-963799-1-1.html Part 5: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-964096-1-1.html Part 6: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-964430-1-1.html Part 7: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-964460-1-1.html This thread is used to discuss activities that have already been completed, and to identify areas that can be improved. Additionally, we welcome all fellow netizens to share their valuable suggestions, whether it be regarding word-guessing games, the development of the website layout, or future activities that could be organized. Everything that makes sense will be rewarded. Thank you all again^_^

She won big prizes several times yesterday; it’s a pity that the rules don’t allow it, but I’ll make it up to you later! This activity is great; it helps to build up a vocabulary, turning a passive approach into an active one. Instead of waiting to think of words when they appear, one actively looks for them. This way, not only can one learn the words related to the game, but also many other words that come to mind during the game. I support it; it’s just a pity I don’t have the right to participate so as to avoid misunderstandings. I can only watch from afar and not touch it (I’m so tempted that I couldn’t resist, so I stripped off the super version’s skin and played with it along with everyone else :) )
Let me ask again about the rules of the game: must the answer necessarily be the word or phrase you provided, and not its Chinese synonym? Is that a completely English-based way of thinking? For example: 1. “Flange Blanks” are also called “Spec Blind”, “Figure 8 Blind” and “Disk-and-Donut”. If your answer is “Flange Blanks”, then even if you guess it as “Spec Blind”, “Spec Blind” is not the correct answer – is that correct?
“\"I stripped the ultra version of its skin and played with everyone\" – it seems this game really tempts you a lot; P
There are a few key points that I hope everyone can understand: 1. This game is designed to develop people’s logical thinking skills, so it’s essential to read the questions and answers ahead of time. Those who don’t read the previous questions and repeat them, in my opinion, lack the sincerity to participate in the game. When this happens frequently, such questions will no longer earn any points in future games. 2. While guessing this word, it is possible to encounter specialized terms from the field of chemical engineering, which represents a new learning process as well. For example, in the game this issue has been confirmed to be related to static equipment; therefore, when trying to guess the answer, people will try to include as many such static devices as possible, such as storage tanks, heat exchangers, towers, and so on. This represents a good learning opportunity for translators majoring in English as well as for those new to the chemical industry. 3. Don’t worry about looking foolish if you guess wrong – it’s just a game. Once you participate, approach it with an attitude of learning and communicating; everyone is a winner in this situation.
Thank you! ! Thinking about the words in one’s mind through games also counts as repetition*. The most important thing is happiness! Hehe! Enjoy it!
The last edit to this post was made by Daydreaming Scholar on 2012-2-22 at 09:54. I think both answers for this question, water cooler and air cooler, are correct; why isn’t water cooler considered right? The answer to this question is inherently multifaceted... 14L guessed \"air conditioner\" (and threatened to kill himself if wrong); when it was confirmed to be incorrect, he didn’t guess \"air cooler\" instead but chose \"water cooler\", only for the correct answer to turn out to be \"air cooler\" once again – completely defeated... 14L was devastated.
Next time, we can set a limit on the total number of letters, thereby narrowing down the range, right?
I feel that there’s a lack of a reasoning process here; most of it is just speculation. There are few hints in the original text, so people can only guess. Of course, this has a lot to do with the specialized nature of the subject. I remember that the foreign teacher gave us a reasoning puzzle during his lecture: There were two dwarfs in the circus, A and B; A was slightly shorter than B, and moreover, A was blind. Due to the poor business conditions of the team, the team leader talked to the two of them one afternoon, saying that he would have to lay off one of them in the near future. The team leader also revealed that height determines who goes and who stays, with those who are shorter having a greater chance of staying. The two dwarfs returned home feeling anxious. To their surprise, the next morning, people found Dwarf A hanging in his room; there was also a lot of sawdust on the floor of his room. According to the forensic examination, it was indeed suicide, but Dwarf B was also arrested. Why? :lol similar in effect
Its origin is indeed here; it is said that such logic training questions are also included in the admission interviews for foreign MBA programs. Of course, at this stage, it’s only possible to progress step by step; presenting reasoning problems of the level mentioned above all at once would likely scare away more people. At this stage, I just want to encourage everyone in the group to be more proactive in communicating with one another. Moderator Feng’s suggestion is indeed something I want to try in the future; you really understand me^_^
It must be very difficult to type out such complex reasoning in English. PS: qazxsw119: Since A is blind, B sawed the legs of the table in A’s room shorter; thinking that he had grown taller, A committed suicide.
