TTH,
Thank you. Regarding your question on mathematical notation, the notation that I have already described to you is the standard way to write it using plain text when.
You are welcome and thank you for letting me know how that is written.
When what? Confused

He tells me you have short hair, is that true?

Yes i have short hair, a blonde woman named Linda cut my hair for me when i was homeless and residing at Crossroads in Portsmouth N.H.(also known as the HELLO inn) and stabbed (i don't know how many people in the eye's) as well as me. Their are many criminals that are on the loose, God bless'm. Very Happy

She is a criminal and should be arrested,,, God help any policeman or woman who won't do their job.

I do not want a boyfriend as i have God and Yeggy within me and around. Laughing

Thoh:

Shooting;

Shoot again. Cool if she shoots again, there's a 3/4 chance it will be blank (3 because where a blank follows a blank). if she spins, it will be random, and only 4/6 or 2/3 chance that it's blank



Try should indeed have Palajoa pull the trigger again without spinning.

We know that the first chamber Palajoa fired was one of the four empty chambers. Since the bullets were placed in consecutive order, one of the empty chambers is followed by a bullet, and the other three empty chambers are followed by another empty chamber. So if Try has Palajoa pull the trigger again, the probability that a bullet will be fired is 1/4.

If Palajoa spins the chamber again, the probability that she shoots Try would be 2/6, or 1/3, since there are two possible bullets that would be in firing position out of the six possible chambers that would be in position.




Microsoft interview question:


he was stranded on an island and his shipwrecked/airplane-crashed buddies fed him seagull soup to survive, but it was really soup made from his dead wife/son/friend...so when he ordered seagull soup, it tasted like nothing he ate on the island and realized he ate his wife/son/friend so ran to the church to confess....heard it before with albatross sandwich and suicide at the end


Ok, you are hired! Razz

Shooting;

I say pull the trigger again Razz



Baygull

Well since Mr. Gates lives by me I called him and asked. He said something about an employee who was having seagull soup and suddenly remembered that Mr. Gates is very fond of seagulls and owns one. This guy all of a sudden thought oh no, what if Mr. Gates left his window open at his house and this seagull was his own personal one and flew out and was caught to make this soup. So, he felt really guilty and ran to the church to pray that it was not Mr. Gates own personal seagull. While at the church this guy noticed the windows were open and since it was cold outside he would do the right thing and close them. There were ten to close but he could only close 9 of them because one was stuck. No one was around so this guy went to the bar next door and asked the bartender if he had a phone number to get ahold of someone at the church. The bartender said he didn't but not to worry since the church employed a very reliable security guard who was very loyal and trustworthy. On the way out of the bar this guy saw the security guard and told him about the windows and the security guard said that the church was having new windows installed that day so that problem would be taken care of. In talking the two realized they knew each other and used to be friends in school. This guy was wondering how or if he would let Mr. Gates know about the seagull if his ended up missing. Then the alarm clock went off and upon wakening in a pool of sweat he realized it was all a dream. When he got to work he told Bill about his dream. Mr. Gates laughed and said that seagull cost a lot of money and there was no way he was going to lose it.


Bill had a chuckle over this as he looked out over the bay and saw a gull, is that a baygull he asked in all seriousness. Laughing

I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

6. 2y=y
7. 2=1


Answer
{

Obviously it is wrong, the question is really: where does it go wrong?

The answer is it goes wrong on line 5, you cannot cancel (x-y) from both sides because (x-y) = 0.

For example, 500*0 = 6*0 is valid and reduces to 0=0, but you cannot cancel 0 from both sides to get 500 = 6.

}

x = 0.999... (repeating)
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9x
9.999... - 0.999... = 9
therefore 9x = 9
x = 1
0.999... = 1

Right or wrong Question

stuh505:
[size=8].999... = 1

Also:
.999... = .9 + .09 + .009 + ...
which is an infinite geometric series with sum:
.9 / (1 - .1) = 1

Also, there is no number greater than 0.999... and less than 1.

This is where you have to stop because it is zero?

Nice Try,,, I once heard someone say they "wanted it to be real". This statement is 'real',,, anyone that hurt me will not be seeing me wherever they end up. Did you know (i think) one of the worst things that can happen to anyone is you miss them more than anything,,, especially if that person was good to you and treated you with the best and wholesome intentions that they could muster from deep within them.
In other words to be madly in love with someone and never seeing them again is very painful. I've missed certain people so much i had wished i was dead. That's pain. By all means tell everyone you know. God Bless you and yours. etc. Btw, everyone knows, and has known, the difference between right and wrong. God Bless you and yours.

Good morning etc
I like some of your thoughts on pain.

Try, I wanted to tell you that guy that told me to show you that equation (Energy to Speed), said you are good. Cool
However you only get credit for 1/2 of it since you didn't show your work on the 2nd part.
I can't quite recall his occupation, con (no pun intented) comes to mind so maybe it is constructionist.
Anyway, since I don't know anything about it, I am not asking you to show your work on the 2nd half. I mainly wanted to let you know he said you are good.

My dear Stuh, it may be obvious to you, Thoh, TTH and the A2k cat, however, it was designed to entrap a passing Neo Pets aka Lenny Conundrums player.

You do indeed. Laughing



"Try, I wanted to tell you that guy that told me to show you that equation (Energy to Speed), said you are good." Shocked


Regretfully it was one A. Einstein who worked it out, however, when I meet him, I will pass on your message. Laughing



PJ wrote from deep within, and may I say, God Bless you and yours. The difference between right and wrong, is a little more complicated. Remember; no pain, no gain.

"see Jacob"

Is that the same guy who has a ladder?


Yours truly.




This should be the easiest one yet, but it made me smile.


hqueircke Question





I recently burnt a CD with a selection of songs from my favourite rock bands to listen to in my car.

The order of tracks, along with the bands that sing them, as burnt onto the CD are listed below (note: these songs and bands may sound similar to some more well-known songs and bands but that's purely coincidental).

1. Sourest Thing - V3
2. I Still Haven't Heard What I'm Listening For - V3
3. Without and With Me - V3
4. Son - Pearl Honey
5. Spin the White Square - Pearl Honey
6. Better Woman - Pearl Honey
7. Last Hug - Pearl Honey
8. Dead - Pearl Honey
9. Off He Comes - Pearl Honey
10. Finding Your Religion - M.E.R.
11. Nobody Hurts - M.E.R.

When driving along listening to this fine collection of tunes, I usually put my CD player on random (i.e. the order that the tracks are played does not follow any set pattern). If my CD player plays through all 11 tracks before repeating any of them…

What is the probability that no two songs from the same band will be played one after the other Question


The answer may well surprise you!



To say nothing of the arguments that will follow.

Amen to that sister, most of my victims have small feet, and I just hate getting squished into their tiny little shoes. I tell ya, its not worth straying off the straight and narrow no more.

SONGS
[size=8]If you play through once (stop after all 11 songs are played once), the probability is 6! * 5! / 11! = 1/462. If it keeps playing after all 11 songs are played, and if all 11 songs must again be played before there is a repeat, the probability is zero.

Since there are six songs from Pearl Honey, they must be played in positions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. There are 6! ways to do this. The remaining songs must be played in positions 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. There are 5! ways to do this. So, out of the 11! possible arrangements, 6! * 5! meet your requirements.
