I assume you mean guidance and not giudance(might be the deliberate mistake though).Hmm... the code is a bit off to me. It seems like a simple substitution where every consonant is replaced with the consonant that precedes it in the alphabet, and the vowels are replaced with the preceding vowel. So C->B; O->I, U->T and so on. This is correct for everything except T/I. =\ (which leads to me thinking the error might be that the second word should be BITMRAK, another intentional error?)So, if I'm right, it GUIDANCE would become FOECUMBA.

i do remember one thing.
it took hours and hours but.
by the time i was done with it.
i was so involved. i didn't even know what to think.
i carried it around with me for days. and days.
playing little games.
like. not looking at it for a whole day.
and then. looking at it.
to see if I still liked it.
i did.

That's not what i am looking for. Still you get a point for that mistake in the question. But I don't make delibrate mistakes in a question. It can confuse anybody.

It seems to alternate. First letter is sent back one, c to b, next is sent back 6, o to i, next is 1, u to t, then 5 n to i, etc giving 1615141, so one would assume guidance would follow 16151413, or GUIDANCE to FOHYZJBB. Of course there could be other possibilities :/

I found that too, but it's just that it's not "GOHyzBB" you find at the end, but : "FOHYZJBB".

I'd say 1kg of steel because its density is higher; thus the size will be more compact and it's easier to carry/lift/whatever.However, you're probably looking for "They're just as easy to lift because the weight is the same". :laugh:

well, easy, the answer is neither as 1kg of cotton is 1kg of weight, and 1kg of steel is 1kg of steel, they both weigh the same, so it will be the same wight to lift, therefore, the answer is none.....i hope lol

1kg of whichever material is still the same weight, however the density of some materials could make a difference. Perhaps the cotton would be a little more awkward to lift, since 1kg of steel may take up less space to start with. However, if the cotton were on the cotton plants, and you had to pick it, that might be another problem - Perhaps the steel is molten, heck then you'd need tongs and container, hehe, =).

Looks like noone can come even closer to my scorre though i hadn't posted for a long time.Anyway I'd agree with cgfreak cuz 1 kg of cotton is so large that it'd be tougher to lift

1 kg of cotton would also be hard because it would spread out of your hands and you would have to lift 1kg with a smaller point and dragging it up instead of lifting it.

1 kg of cotton is easier. some shirts contain 1 kg of cotton, and are easy to carry, whereas i have never seen someone where 1 kg of steel all day...if they did, theyd be like me...hehehe...strong, not stupid...ahem...cough cough...

1 kg. of steel is easier. The steel is more compact, so it takes less room.The cotton on the other hand, is light. You need more cottonballs for it to equal 1kg. It would be very hard for you to carry 100 or so cottonballs.

My answer may differ from everyone so...here goes...none of them are easier to lift,because they both weigh the same.(Ignores other possibilities like a simpleton :D )

well i read a book with the same concept. it said that a pound of feather is heavier than a pound of gold. gold and feathers are measured using different scales. gold uses the troy system (12 ounces=1 pound) but the feathers uses the avoirdupois system (16 ounces=1 pound)the troy system is used to measure metal and the avoirdupois system is for other objects if we convert the 1 kilogram into ounces the steel would be easier.

either of the two could be easier to lift, depending on the circumstances. if it is extremely hot in the room, the cotton would be easier because the steel conducts heat, and could potentially scourn your hands. the steel, on the other hand, could be easier for it is more dense, and thereby 1kg of steel has less mass. either way, they both way the same, so given the little amount of detail it is impossible to tell that one would be any easier to lift then the other, and we must assume they are equal in difficulty of lifting

my say is that steel would be easier. cotton will be harder as between the pores or small spaces of cotton, there would be air trapped in between, increasing the weight, making it harder to lift.

They are both the same weight but because of the low density of cotton it would be less awkward to carry 3.5lbs of steel instead of 3.5lbs of cotton. So my final answer is: Steel!!!

1kg of steel is actually lighter if you put it on a balance or see saw... So I'll say 1kg of steel is easier to carry
