In our school's parking lot one morning, Janice noticed that all but three of the cars parked were made by General Motors, all but three of the cars were made by Chrysler, all but three of them were made by Ford, and all but three of them were made by Toyota. What is the minimum number of cars parked in the school parking lot



Julie's birthday is May 1. She wants to buy a new camera that costs $70.00 as a present to herself. She decides to save 1 cent on January 1st, 2 cents on January 2nd, 3 cents on January 3rd, 4 cents on January 4th, and so on. Will she have enough to buy the camera on her birthday

FAIR
1 or 3

CARS

JULIE
She can buy about 1.9E32 cameras.

Markr I think you're going geometric

Julie is saving triangularly. Her savings go
day(n) saved[T(n)]
1 1
2 3
3 6
4 10
5 15
. .
. .
n T(n)=T(n-1)+n=n(n+1)/2

so if it is not a leap year, on the morning of May 1st Julie has been saving for (n=)120 days

T(n)=120*121/2=7260 pennys
& she can buy her camera

BTW on a leap year she'll have 7381 pennys.

Yep - I read it wrong. I was wondering why it wasn't even close.

1) 7 coins to drewdad, 1 to mark
2) every 24th, so there are 3

The not so clever one:
3) 116 2's
4) 218

Last week, Turtlette and her dad went fishing for three days. They caught a total of 15 fish. They caught a different number of fish each day. How many fish did they catch each day How many possible solutions do you think there



I have six digits. My hundred-thousands digit is 1 less than my ones digit, 8 more than my thousands digit, twice my tens digit, and 4 times my hundreds digit. What number am I



I have an old uncle who is only slightly more eccentric than he is rich. He went on a safari to Australia last January to see ostriches and dingoes. He called me up the day he got to the ranch to tell me what it was like. I asked him how many animals he had seen and told me the first day he only saw people and horses, but he didn't remember how many of each there were. He did remember, though, that between the people and horses there were 22 eyes and 34 legs.

How many humans and how many horses were there



The next day my rich, eccentric uncle called again and this time he was excited to announce that he had seen wildlife while out riding the horses. I asked him how many animals he had seen, and again he didn't remember the exact number of all the animals, but he did remember that, including the horses and people from the day before, there were a total of 52 eyes and 74 legs.

If there were twice as many 4 legged dingoes as there were 2 legged ostriches, how many of each wild animal were there

a) there are 12 combinations of the daily fish catch (in no particular daily order)
b) there are 72 combinbations of the daily fish catch in order.

FISH
Same as Rap unless zero is allowed. In that case, add 7 (or 7*6) solutions.

EYES AND LEGS
5 humans, 6 horses
(5+6)*2=22, 5*2+6*4=34

Additional eyes = 30, additional legs = 40
5 dingoes, 10 ostriches
(5+10)*2=30, 5*4+10*2=40

There is no solution with twice as many dingoes as ostriches if the additional eyes and legs are solely accounted for by the dingoes and ostriches. Am I missing something here?

Tryagain are you really a Limey?---Baseball cards, why Baseball and softball aren't even allowed in the 2012 Olympics. They're putting in golf instead--a damn pretentious sport that takes too much space.----

Baseball cards
three possible solutions-two fair deals and the other because well Renee is a girl---
Fair deal solutions
Renee can gat 1 Rookie for $5, 1 champion for $6 and 1 old timer for $7, or 3 champions for $6 each

the other solution
Renee is French, a looker and between 18 and 28 years old and Matt is twitterpated so he throws in a Rookie card with his phone number when Renee buys 2 hall of famer cards at $9 each.

Homework
The first homework assignment is to figure out the homework schedule for a month of 31 days
day-hmwrk 1-0 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-5 7-0 8-6 9-6 10-7 11-0 12-7 13-0 14-2 15-8 16-8 17-0 18-8 19-0 20-9 21-3 22-3 23-0 24-9 25-10 26-2 27-9 28-4 29-0 30-10 31-0

So on the 10th 7 problems are due and none are due on the 1st, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 29th, and 31st.

HOMEWORK
Same as Rap, but I would express it as 1 and all primes greater than 5. 2, 3, and 5 force homework on all composites less than the next prime squared (49).

CHIMES
I didn't see anything about spaces, so I'd say 7:
ding, ding, dong, dong, dong, ding, ding

I heard they may add squash. I'd like to see that.

Orchids
2(x-8)=4*7
x-8=14
x=22
22 Orchids

Markr--Why would they want to add vegetables to the Olympics?

I can understand why Baseball is not so interesting during the summer games; it comes right about that time when the professional season is starting to heat up. But softball, particularly women's softball, is one of the most interesting spectator games going.

BTW I thought squash was already an Olympic sport.
