The worlds first riddle!

11. ?
12. ?
13. Marijuana!!!!......Uhhmm, I mean Candles!!
14. The Morning Paper
15. You get laid, or…It rains (It depends on your definition of "a dry spell")
16. ?
17. ????
18. On the head
19. Fence….going on the "freeway" rational so no credit here!
20. Shingles….same as above

Lastly…..the trick question! Answer is 50% …. Being that you uncovered one of the coins already!
It would be a 25% chance that both turned "heads" before you told us the outcome of one of them! I'm also foreign and don't know if both a dime and penny have a "head" side. But lets assume they both do.

Great!....my screen hadn't refreshed when I posted, so didn't know you were there already. Besides, yours were way better I see the logic with 1/3 chance if you are asking the odd of both coins together! but we are just asking for the odds of one coin individually....wouldn't that be 50%??

There is more than 3 different outcomes on the coins....If they were both pennies or both dimes,....then yes, just 3 outcomes...(H,H)(T,T)(T,H or H,T). But we have 2 different coins....a dime and a penny! So there are four different outcomes....thus 25%.

Penny: Heads Dime: Heads
Penny: Heads Dime: Tails
Penny: Tails Dime: Heads
Penny: Tails Dime: Tails

With only Pennies or only Dimes...the two middle outcomes are identical, so become one (leaving 3 possible outcomes).....with 2 different coins there are 4 possible outcomes....No???? Or did I smoke too much today?

My dear Zippo I am so sorry, I did not know. Please accept my symphony. By the way, are you French, are you from the French Foreign Legion?



The fun is over. Let's get serious.


What is the area of the triangle bounded by the positive x-axis, the y-axis and the straight line 2x+y =4




Use the number line and the associated points shown.
<----A(-3)----B(-2)----C(-1)----0----D(1)----E(2)----F(3)----4--->

1) Determine BD
2) Determine BD + DF
3) Determine AE -- CE


The sum of two angles is a straight angle. The degree measure of one angle is 12 more than twice the degree measure of the other. What is the degree measure of each angle


Drew used a time line for history class to show the important dates in the U.S. history from 1607 to 1999. What date should be represented at the midpoint of the line


Late update: Please read the coin question VERY carefully as the answer may well annoy.

I am not French, but Spanish.

Me too Tryagain! It is so unfortunate that I couldn't have been born American, drive a Cadillac, drink Bud and eat corndogs, go bowling on the weekends, and live under the greatest and only true democracy on the planet!


Thanks for this latest question...less play on words...I like! No clue thus far though...need pen and paper...

Hola, Zipote! Que tal?

Interaresting!!!! Estas en los estates o por aqui?

Will I be annoyed?

No estoy en los estates. Y "por aqui" donde es?

You can't combine the middle outcomes if the coins are the same.

You are correct about the four possible outcomes. However, we are told that one (I assume this means at least one) coin is heads. That rules out the fourth possible outcome. One of the three remaining outcomes has the other coin as heads.

Had the problem state that the penny (or dime) was heads, then the probability would be 1/2 that the other coins was also heads.

Perhaps this is a trick question and "one" means exactly one. In that case, the answer is 0. That might be annoying...

España!!

Bloody hell!!!
New rule!.....Markr has to wait atleat 3 hours after a question before posting an answer!

Triangle
b=2 h=4 A=1/2bh=4

Line
BD=|2-(-2)|=4
BD+DF=4+|3-1|=4+3=7
AE-CE=|2-(-3)|-|2-(-1)|=5-3=2

Angle
x+y=180 deg (straight line angle)
x-y=12 deg
2x=192 deg
x=96 deg
y=84 deg

Midpoint
n-1607=1999-n
2n=1999+1607=3606
n=1803 (I'd accept 1800, this ain't Rocket Science)

Rap

Hey, Rap has three hours on me! You're probably just kidding, but at another site that I frequent, they have a hide feature. It allows others to view the problems without seeing answers. My responses with white text and a small font are an attempt to hide (for those who don't want to see) my answers.

No need to go easy on the foreigners!!!
