The worlds first riddle!

(435) 243-2151

Try is losing the plot!

The panel that issued the ruling consisted of three judges, chosen at random from the larger number in the Riddles Forum. Try
commented, "Because there are 45 judges in the Riddles Forum, there are 3,000 different combinations of three-judge panels."

Poor Try's math is a little rusty. Help the bum out by answering the following questions:

(1) If a three-judge panel is to be chosen from a pool of forty-five judges, how many different panels are possible

(2) How many judges would have to be in the Riddles Forum for the statement that "there are 3,000 different combinations of three-judge panels" to be correct


Get well soon Try!

[size=7]1) 45!/3!/(45-3)!=(45*44*43)/(3*2*1)=14190 combinations

2) n!/3!/(n-3)!=3000 or n*(n-1)*(n-2)=18000 so n^(3)~18000 and n~26
using n=26 combinations is 2600,
for n=27 combinations is 2925
for n=28 combinations is 3276
so a judge pool of 27 is closest.[/size]

1) 45 choose 3 = 45!/(3! 42!) = 14190

2) X choose 3 = 3000
= x!/(3! (X-3)! )
so,
x! / (x-3)! = 18000
= (x)(x-1)(x-2)
= x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x

Therefore x = 27.22

27 choose 3 = 2925
28 choose 3 = 3276

So I would have to say that the original statement is a lie, it is impossible.

inadmissable evidence

Ooohhh I like your way of thinking. My answer is not nearly as clever as that.

Howdy ya'll, I was on my way to the high country when I thought I could smell coffee and chestnuts roasting over an open fire.

Closer I came it was obvious there was a convention in town and they were; Chess nuts boasting in a open foyer.


Stormy taunting, "Ooohhh I like your way of thinking"

You are far too smart for this country boy.


Seize ya all later, don't take any wooden nickels.




OHOLENE

Good to know, I think.

Oh god, that name again. Yes, I know it is C not K. He is weird kinda like you.

Stormwatch what is your answer? I couldn't figure that one out. Picture frame? I don't get it.

Mark, I can't figure yours out either:
poise
intravenous
Does it have anything to do with Poe or Venus? Can we(I) have a hint?

line out of order back up?

HOLE IN ONE?

Hell yes! But don't tell anyone, it's secret.

Rap:

1) 45!/3!/(45-3)!=(45*44*43)/(3*2*1)=14190 combinations

2) n!/3!/(n-3)!=3000 or n*(n-1)*(n-2)=18000 so n^(3)~18000 and n~26

You nailed it!


Stuh:

1) 45 choose 3 = 45!/(3! 42!) = 14190

2) X choose 3 = 3000
= x!/(3! (X-3)! )
so,
x! / (x-3)! = 18000
= (x)(x-1)(x-2)
= x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x

Therefore x = 27.22

27 choose 3 = 2925
28 choose 3 = 3276


Spot on!



"So I would have to say that the original statement is a lie, it is impossible."

Well, not a lie exactly; more of a gross exaggeration perhaps.



TTH:

OHOLENE = HOLE IN ONE


"He is weird kinda like you."

I don't think he likes me at all; he is into ram, and I'm more of a sheep kinda guy!

We are each trapped inside our own personal prison, too many bars, too many delicious cocktails.


"has markr ever been to prison?"

I think the question should be; is he ever coming out!



Yesterday Thoh was kind enough to point out one or two errors on my part, well two more than one; not that I made three, but more than one. They were ten digit puzzles and rather than throw them away, I collected them all in my buggy, rearranged them and…

Use the digits from 0 to 9 twice to fill in the 20 spaces in this multiplication problem!




How do you like them apples!



COTYGNERTO

Very good! After you got the IR one, I figured you'd get this one right away.

Just that one time I paid you a conjugal visit.

TRY INCOGNETO???? incogneto is spelled incognito

Hey, are you going to explain the picture frame or what?


conjugal visit I need to go to prison so I can have sex. Heck why didn't anyone ever tell me that before. Do I get to choose the guy?

Mark,
RE: LULU
I was just wondering if you counted that bottom left corner L once with the 2
U's (the u above it and the u to the right of it)

stuh what riddle response is U4A to?
If I am still looking for myself on top of Mars then why are you still floating in space

Sorry for taking up so much space but I am trying to keep up with everyone's post. I need chocolate, this is too early.
