Marketing Concept

A Professor was explaining marketing concepts to his students :

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say : "I am very rich. Marry me!"
- That's Direct Marketing.

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says : "He's very rich. Marry him."
- That's Advertising.

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say : "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."
- That's Telemarketing.

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door of the car for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride and then say : "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?"
- That's Public Relations.

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says : You are very rich! Can you marry me?"
- That's Brand Recognition.

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say : "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
- That's Customer Feedback.

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say : "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband.
- That's Demand and Supply Gap.

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tells her : "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him.
- That's competition eating into your Market share.

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say : "I'm rich. Marry me!" your wife arrives.
- That's restriction for entering new markets.

10. You see two gorgeous girls at a party, obviously friends. You go up to one and say, "I'm rich. Marry me." She turns away and you approach her friend with the same proposal.
- That's Networking. ( by Hale Mckay )

It took me 20 minutes and am still not able to figure out No.4. I almost faint when I checked the answer. :)

2. Divide unshaded portion of 'B' into THREE equal & identical parts.

3. Divide unshaded portion of 'C' into FOUR equal & identical parts.
