Oh yeah, I do not do my nails either. I do yard work so they tend to break.

Solving riddles. Well if TTH was smart she would just sit back and let Mark solve the riddles, but apparently she wants to be nice and help Mark so
Mark can do 32 per hr. TTH can do 10.667?? per hr. Twisted Evil
32+10.667=42.667 per hour /60 minutes=.7111 riddles per minute
32/.7111= 45 minutes (I hope)

An employee at A2K is to be rewarded with a $250 bonus AFTER TAXES have been deducted, for keeping this site going for 3.75 minutes without a crash. Rolling Eyes

If the federal tax is 15%, the state tax is 10% and the Social Security is 7.5 % what must the GROSS PAY be in order for the net payout to be $250 Question


Who came up with this? It is called the grossed up amount.
.15+.1+.075=.325
100-.325=.675
250/.675=370.37
$370.37 would be the gross pay. (BTW this is keeping me from doing the quarterlys and year end payroll ya know Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes)

My degree is not in math, but I got my BA from Central Washington University.
Why? Is my math that bad? Actually, I would not say my math is that bad. I just always did math my way (it made more sense sometimes than the way it was taught).

In Ellensburg? Home of the Wildcats? Wow! What a small world. I live south of there. Twisted Evil

I wasn't making fun of your math. You've been avoiding the math problem, but now you're on a roll.

Has the potential calamity been averted?

Aviation problem: A plane travels at a speed of 400 miles per hour for 1200 miles, and then returns by the same route at a speed of 300 miles per hour.

What is the average speed for the total trip Question



We know little about Try except that he first lived about the year 38 B.C. (That is C.E. to you tree huggers.) Due to one chronicler who described his life by the means of an algebraic riddle (math brain teaser), we know at least something about his sordid life of Sodom and Gomorrah. Twisted Evil

Try's youth lasted 1/6 of his life. He had his first beard in the next 1/12 of his life. At the end of the following 1/7 of his life Try got married. Five years from then his son was born. His son lived exactly 1/2 of Try's life. Try died 4 years after the death of his son, Troy.

How long did Try live Question

And will he ever get to drive that race car!

total distance: 2400 miles
1st leg is 3 hrs, 2nd leg is 4 hrs so total time is 7 hrs
average: total distance/total time = 2400 miles/7hrs = 342.86 mph

Try was 84 years old when he kicked the bucket.
x/6 + x/12 + x/7 + 5 + x/2 + x/2 + 4 = x
25x/28 + 9 = x
x = 84 years


Quote:
38 B.C. (That is C.E. to you tree huggers.)

I believe it's B.C. (before Christ) => B.C.E. (before Common Era) & A.D. (Anno Domini) => C.E. (Common Era) Razz

If he ever finds Mark's secret body shop. Razz
