The worlds first riddle!

Yes I do and I did. That is the answer but not the question. The question is why did I stop there

However, it wasn't said what you are good at

OMG
The songs: I saw that change

Songs by no two consecutive bands

[size=7]11 songs total, 6 by pearl - honey! Every other song in any order (permutations-6!). The remaining 5 in any order (5!).

The product is 6!*5!=720*120=86400[/size]

I was bit by a shark in Hawaii (think jezabay) and i haven't been the same. My body became inhospitable and still is,, O well.

Mary M. is the most talented singer in the world!

PJ, I am sorry to hear your shocking news about being shark bit and having to go in hospital. I got snake bit and they took me to hospital too, although I doubt it was the same hospital due to the fact that shark attacks are somewhat of a rarity in Kansas City.

Apart from your mind, did you loose any other extremity of importance?



"Mary M. is the most talented singer in the world!"

Do you have any of her records? :wink:

Pinch and a punch first of the month - No returns!

Mark:

SONGS
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.

Songs by no two consecutive bands

11 songs total, 6 by pearl - honey! Every other song in any order (permutations-6!). The remaining 5 in any order (5!).

The product is 6!*5!=720*120=86400



As there are six Pearl Honey songs they must be played in the odd-numbered positions. The V3 and M.E.R. songs will be played in the even-numbered positions. One such example is shown below:

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

There are six possible Pearl Honey songs that could be played first.
There are five possible V3 or M.E.R. songs that could be played second.
For the third song, there are now only five possible Pearl Honey songs that could be played.
For the fourth song, there are now only four possible V3 or M.E.R. songs that could be played.
And so on and so forth...

Following this pattern we have that there are 6*5*5*4*4*3*3*2*2*1*1 = 86,400 playlists where no two songs by the same band are played one after the other.

All up there are 11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 39,916,800 different playlists in which the 11 tracks could be played.

So the probability that all 11 tracks will be played without any two songs from the same band being played one after the other is 86,400/39,916,800 which can be simplified to 1/462.
Which unfortunately did not surprise either Mark or Rap.

Rap had a ruler that was exactly 12 inches long. His second cousin Sue-Ellen was practicing with her Samurai sword and made two straight slashes at arbitrary spots on the ruler, cutting it into three pieces.

What is the probability that the pieces of Rap's ruler can form a triangle

Mark, thank you for the link. How very clever that someone could come up with such a neat programme.

Hi Try,,,i heard there is a disease going around that attacks the nervous system and only God can cure it. It's worse than aids and eboli combined, i think i have it. See ya.

p.s. the most spiritual people wil be healed first.

RAP'S RULER
1/4


To find Mark's answer, we will use two random variables, a and b, on a common graph with rectangular axes. Both variables are uniformly distributed between 0 and 12, so we have a probability square which each side equal to 12. We will find regions on the square that lead to three lengths that can form a triangle.

Let us suppose that the two cuts are made at some lengths a and b from one end. If b > a, then the three lengths will be a, b-a, and 12-b. In order to create a triangle, any two of these lengths needs to be greater than the third. So,

a + b-a > 12-b or b > 6
b-a + 12-b > a or a <6> b-a or b <a> b, then we get a similar triangular region reflected over the x=y diagonal of our graph. That triangle also has an area of 1/8th of the square.

Therefore the total area of our two regions is given by 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4 and so the probability of Rap having created pieces capable of making a triangle is 25%.

The calculation of the probability that Rap lost a finger or two is left up to the reader.

Everything was just dandy, until that is; Etc aka PJ discovered this new plague, from the symptoms I would assume there is an election in the offing!
Ps. I see you have a new playmate in your threads. Good news!

Thank goodness for that, I only drink sprits, I should make the cut.






One of ten different Spiderman figures was randomly placed into each box of some type of cereal. If a mother decided to buy this cereal for her children until she obtained at least one of each of the ten different models, what is the number of boxes of cereal that she is expected to purchase



ceaalrtiqfuoakrneisa

Try,,, your so smart,,, when i was in school my report cards mostly consisted of C's and D's,,, so i would skip school and stay home and ,,, concentrate and listen to music. When I was a teenager i was kicked out of a low life trade school that mostly consisted of scumbags, including every teacher i ever had in most of the pedestrian schools.

Number of tries for spiderman
[size=7]1st try P(e) is a certainty
2nd try is 9/10
3rd--8/10
and so on
number of picks is 1/P(e)
sum all the picks to 205/7 or about 29.29 picks

So to get all ten spiderman toys she should have to buy 30 boxes of cereal.[/size]

Try, must I always be checking your spelling? :wink:

One day my X-husband came over my apartment and casually asked me why girls leave him,,, i said "do you really want to know?" (he did) so i said "~Steve,,, why don't you try not cheating on them." He replied "oh." Unfortunatly,,, i think it's possible my words fell on deaf ears. Oh well, i tried. Someone mentioned to me that he was a ladies man,,, but nooooooooooooooooooooo, that fell on deaf ears.

Good morning from the bright side of the world, a weekend without a message from TTH is like a day without sunshine…mind you if you live in the desert that is a good thing.

That's because there are also urricane's. Please forgive me, for I have done a bad thing!



CJ I would never speak ill of teachers, they taught me everything I forgot. I think the best teacher was Juvie Hall.

Boy did she have a pair of buns!


I am losing track of all your ?'X's, I've tried indexing them and cross-referencing height, weight etc. But, is this the Steve who is great at skiing? The one who liked a little ?'après s**'?


I asked, "Do you want to hear a song from Def Leopard?

"nooooooooooooooooooooo"


Ok, I'll take that as a maybe!


Hey boys, Miss PJ is back
No Hollywood waste or tinsel trash
A street kid, she's no stray cat,
Heaven on legs, she's a feline flash.
Takes a good woman to play a good man
And no one plays like heaven can

She said
Leave your name at the sound of the tone,
Call you right back when I get home

Better watch out when we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
And she makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad

Better watch out when we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
And she makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no

She's got the rhythm to drive me crazy,
She's got the rhythm of love.

She said leave your name at the sound of the tone,
The lights are off, but there's somebody home

Heaven is a girl that I've got to have,
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl, she makes dreams come true
And no one does it good like Heaven do
That voodoo that you do.
