"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

So here's the riddle. I need it done by tonight. It's one of those, "If Jill is sitting 2 seats away, where is Mark" etc. But even harder.
If you manage to make progress, but not finish, please post what you have so others can feed off of it and possibly answer it. It also helps me ;o

The Riddle:
During a chemistry class, five pairs of students are working on five different experiments at a row of lab stations numbered 1-5 consecutively. From the information given below, can you tell what each students' experiment is, at which lab station he or she is working, and who his or her lab partner is?

Clues:
1. The halogens experiment and all the other experiments are performed by lab partners of the opposite sex. For example, Ann Ion's partner is a boy.
2. Milli Liter and Ben Zene work together.
3. Charles Law does not work at lab station #2.
4. Molly Cool and her partner work between station #3 and the station occupied by Barr Um.
5. Phyllis Pipet, building a spectroscope, is not at #4
6. Milli Liter does not work next to Molly Cool
7. Earl N. Meyer works at #4
8. Ionic reactions are being carried out at #5
9. Hal Ogen is building a small-scale balance
10. Only one of the Um twins. Fancie or Barry, works at station #1 doing an acid-base titration

What I have so far (possible but not confirmed right answers):
-Milli Liter and Ben Zene work together.
-Of the Um twins, Barry Um is working at table #1
-Molly Cool is working at table #2
-Phyllis Pipet is at table #3
-Earl N. Meyer is at table #4

Thanks everyone!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This is an interesting brain test. I worked a little on it but will give it some more thought.

One thing I can add immediately.


Station 4 is the Halogens experiment.


Cheers!

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Still cant work out how you worked out that mililiter and benzene were at #5, but i used it to get me started.

#1 - titration - barryum + annion
#2 - balance - halogen + mollycool
#3 - spectroscope - charles law + phyllis
#4 - halogen - earl n + fancie
#5 - ionic - mililiter + benzene

Im convinced theres other possible combinations that fit the rules but this answer works. Nice game.

My final solution:


Table 1 - Barry and Ann doing Acid Base.

Table 2 - Hal and Molly doing Balance

Table 3 - Charlie and Phyllis dong Spectroscope.

Table 4 - Earl and Fancy doing Halogen

Table 5 - Milli and Ben doing Ionic Reactions.


Cheers!

I didn't use that hint just in case it was wrong. Luckily, I came to the same conclusion.

This looks exactly like an LSAT logic game.

There are actually some basic techniques that make these pretty simple once you know them.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
