If he's getting along in Austria alright, then I'm thinking he makes more money that you. Maybe you should travel with him, then when you go back to Malaysia you can be on vacation. I don't how easy it is to get a job in Austria right now, especially if you don't know the language. It would be worth a try, and you could try self employment too.

Can I take my Mot test In Europe, without returning to the UK

Can I take my Mot test In Europe, without returning to the UK?
I have relocated to Austria and am unable to return home for 6 months due to work. My MOT runs out in 2 weeks meaning I will technically be uninsured. Is there a possibility to take the MOT test or equivilant here, so I remain insured, or is my only option to return the car to the UK?

You have four dates: 1858, 1860, 1862, 1864. These will be A, B, C, and D respectively. Debussy must be B or C, according to the information given; he can't be A because there's someone younger than him, but he can't be D because he's not the oldest. If Debussy is B, Strauss is A; if Debussy is C, Strauss is B. Now, since Puccini and Mahler are sequential (because they're only separated by two years), Debussy must be B to make room for them. So Strauss is A, Puccini is D, Mahler is C. So, finally... Strauss - 1858. Debussy - 1860. Mahler - 1862. Puccini - 1864.

Ok there isn't much working to do here but you do have to do a bit of thinking and analyse the language. Firstly, there are 4 composers: Debussy, Mahler, Puccini and Strauss. There fore, there can only be four different years in which each was born but between 1858 and 1864. You can work that out as follows: 1858 will be one then, 1858 + 2 = 1860 will be the other one then, 1860 + 2 = 1862 which will be the third one and finally, 1862 + 2 = 1864 is the last one. So the years are: 1858 1860 1862 1864 Now to analyze the language aspect of it: Puccini was 2 years older than Mahler, this will mean that whichever year from the list that Mahler is born, Puccini is born the year before that one. So this implies that either one of the combinations are true: a) 1858 - Puccini & 1860 - Mahler OR b) 1862 - Puccini & 1864 - Mahler We also know that Strauss is younger than Debussy, this will mean that whichever year from the list that Strauss is born, Debussy is born the year before that one. This implies either one of the combinations below is possible: a) 1858 - Debussy & 1860 - Strauss OR b) 1862 - Debussy & 1864 - Strauss Now, the piece that solves this puzzle is: "Debussy was not the oldest." This then implies that Debussy WAS NOT born in 1858 (because then this will make him the oldest). This therefore cancels off the combination: a) 1858 - Debussy & 1860 - Strauss. Therefore, Debussy was born in 1862 and Strauss was born in 1864. The years 1862 and 1864 are already taken, so this cancels off b) 1862 - Puccini & 1864 - Mahler. Thereofre, Puccini was born in 1858 and Mahler was born in 1860. ANSWERS: Puccini - 1858 Mahler - 1860 Debussy - 1862 Strauss - 1864 To confirm these answers you can easily google their date of births and find that each is in fact accurate! :D Btw Rage Face is wrong because Strauss is younger than Debussy, therefore he cannot possibly have been born before him.
