Solve This Pzzlr: Graduation
Neatorama presents our collaboration with Pzzlr, a site where you can always find a riddle to exercise your brain. Can you solve this one?
Having just received their degrees, ten friends line up in the sunshine to have their photo taken when a gust of wind blows off their morterboards (caps). Each retrieves a cap at random during the ensuing scramble. What is the probability that exactly nine of them retrieve their own cap?
Do you know the answer? The solution is at Pzzlr!
Look for a new puzzle here at Neatorama every Wednesday, and check out Pzzlr for a puzzle anytime!

The awe of it quickly dwindles once you're there b/c everything looks exactly like everything else except for the big spots.
Doesn't help that all of the tourist trap stores really sucks away any kind of romantic atmosphere the place might have.
Venice does NOT suck, I went there twice, and sure if you go with a tourist/romantic mind it's no good, too much souvenir shops, and way too much tourists in the known spots. You have to get away from the usual circuit and discover the city and the islands by yourself. If you're not interested in architecture, history, food or beauty don't bother, visit Paris or something like that...
It awed me for about an hour, and after that, I just wanted to leave. We did break away from the tourist-y areas but that didn't help much either b/c it still all looked exactly the same as everything else.

I thought Verona was a much better area to visit. Hated the fake Romeo & Juliet spots my DH insisted that we see though.
Trieste(sp?) was the best place we went to in Italy. Well, the castle there? Not sure what it's called. Very pretty w/ the giant garden that we got to walk through.
