8 crows, 16 buttons, 16 minutes
16 crows, 32 buttons, 16 minutes
so # of buttons=4*8=32[/size]

[size=7]LARGEST NUMBER
If no operator are allowed, I'd say 9^(9^9). When written by hand there are no operators in the preceding expression.

If operators are allowed, how about 9!^(9!^9!)?

CROWS
32

SQUARES
Is the problem stated in English?

Perhaps you're after the number of squares in a 10x10 grid. In that case, there are 385.

On second thought, the factorial operator should not be allowed. Otherwise, there is no limit to the size of the number - just keep taking factorials of factorials...

I'm pretty sure that exponents are evaluated top to bottom. Otherwise, a^b^c = a^(bc).

Therefore, 9^9^9 = 9^(9^9) = 9^387420489
which is a 369693100-digit number.

Kemistrie
c) 105 g
d) 2+
a) 39
b) would be 19 if not ionized
Potassium

How much for the doggie in the window?
-$10+$15-$20+$25=$10

Chocolate is chemically a cousin of cocaine
100#*$1.75/1.25#=$100(7/4)/(5/4)=$100(7/5)=$20*7=$140

Does Amy work topless? Cause this is pretty crip bucks so I really expect Amy to show some tits.......

Also Amy is really slow.
1.5/3 hrs=90/3 min = 30 min=1/2 hr
600 ft in 30 min is 20 ft^2/per min, a 1 foot wide mower is moving 0.33333 ft/sec. That's 0. 2272 mph.

I can push by 22 incher at least three times faster and I cut my grass in the nude.

You have a wife who always lies. She has two identical sisters, one of which always speaks the truth, and one who sometimes lies and sometimes
tells the truth, she is the diplomatic one.

You want to identify you wife by asking the each one one question.

The middle wife you ask: which type are you?
She answers: the diplomatic one.
The one on the left you ask: Which type is right next to you?
And the left one says: the lying one.

What question do you need to ask the woman on the right to find out for sure which is your wife?

And why?

I don't think there is a question that can be asked of the third person to determine the liar.

1d) 18g/gmole
2a) 6.023x10^23
3c) CO3 (-2)

Barbers in Chigago
6273*66%=4140

Percentage x^2*600=96 so x^2=96/600=4/25
so x=sqrt(4/25)=2/5 and 2/5=40%

Building blocks
Any U has a perimeter of 22 block sides. A block is 176in^2/11=16in^2. So a block is a 4 in square. A side is 4 in. 22 sides is 88 in.
So any U has a perimerimeter of 88 in

Coins
5n+10d=100 => n+2d=20
n+d=16
so d=4, n=12
4 dimes 12 nickels
