QUADRATIC EQUATION

6, 1

Whoops, I have: The sum of the roots is 7 and their product is 6. Did Shari help you with that one?

Yes, yes it was, and I will forever carry the pain with me.

Shari has a cube of dimensions 10cm x 10cm x 10cm it is made up of smaller cubes of dimensions 1cm x 1cm x 1cm. If the outermost layer of smaller cubes are taken off, how many smaller cubes would be left

SHARI'S BOOBS, I MEAN CUBES
[size=8]8x8x8 = 512[/size]

Mark:


SHARI'S BOOBS, (what exactly were you measuring?) I MEAN CUBES
8x8x8 = 512



totalcubes=10*10*10=1000
innercubes=8*8*8=512
outercubes=totalcubes-innercubes=488

Whichever of the above I don't care, just setup this wet T shirt competition why don't'ya.





An officer wishing to arrange his men in a solid square found by his first arrangement that he had 39 men left over. He then started increasing the number of men on a side by one, but found that 50 additional men would be needed to complete a new square.

How many men did the officer have

Done. You missed it (didn't know where to send the invitation). Shari won. It wasn't even close. I didn't get any pictures, but I've got memories to last a lifetime...

MMMAAAWWWWWWWAHH!

Oh cruel fate, how you do mock me so. I feel I am but a pawn in a bigger game.


Two squares are chosen at random on a chessboard. What is the probability that they have a side in common

Yes, yes....I took home the twin trophies. They were bronzed! lol

"They were bronzed!"

Is that because you have been out in the sun?

No sun here sweet pea! I should go tanning though. I am thinking about getting a massage for my birthday.

"I am thinking about getting a massage for my birthday."

There is no mail delivery on a Sunday, so no messages, silly.

Cheese ball!

You are sooo sweet. In my neck of the woods, that is such a term of endearment, and hardly ever heard.

I got the message.

[size=8]CHESSBOARD SQUARES
This turned out to be much easier than I first thought.

Let NxN be the dimensions of the chessboard (8 for this problem).
The number of ways to select two squares is C(N*N,2).
There are N*(N-1) ways to select pairs that share a vertical side and N*(N-1) ways to select pairs that share a horizontal side.

Therefore the probability that the selected squares have a side in common is:
2*N*(N-1) / C(N*N,2)

For N=8, the answer is 112/2016 = .0555...[/size]
