The worlds first riddle!

Yes Try, it was. You too are very clever.

Only here in America we spell it... center of gravity. :wink:

Stuh:

Toro Super Recycler burnout
M = (N+1)/2
=> N = 2M-1

M +3-5+7+6 = N
=> M = N-11

=> N = 2(N-11)-1
=> N = 23

Answer 23

Now that's what I call clever!


Assume that the ladder had x rungs , if he started from the middle rung of the ladder, he was at (x+1)/2 rungs away from the ground; when he climbed up 3 steps , he would be at (x+1)/2 + 3 a ways from the ground; when he backed down to 5 rungs , he was at (x+1)/2 + 3-5 rungs away from the ground....when he finally went up to the building, he finished all the rungs of the ladder:
(x+1)/2 + 3-5+7+6 = x
solve for x:
x+1+ 22 = 2x
23= x: so the ladder had 23 rungs.

"don't you know"
"No"

Well, that clears up that mystery.

Yeah, every winter!

"I think it's going to happen,,, sometime soon!"

If you consider December soon; then yes.

Your greatest wish is to construct a closed rectangular box that has the volume of 4 cubic feet. The length of the box will be twice as long as its width.

The material for the top and bottom of the box cost $.30 cents per square foot. The material for the sides of the box cost $.20 cents per square foot.

What is the dimension of the least expensive box that can be constructed

Hi Try, i drew a couple of pics of ^ and they came out pretty good! One for a hemophodite named Naomie and one for a girl named Angel,, lucky them. I might try again to draw ^ portrait in pencil with a hint of colour. How's the calligraphy comming along :-). I happened upon a caligraphy book at Portsmouth Library (N.H.) that reminded me of you. ;-)

I hope and pray that every evil being has a melt down everytime they think in a Godless way. Amen.

Not for the first time, I have a sneaking suspicion you may be right; let me check:



V = 4
length = 2 * width

30 cents/sq foot for top and bottom
20 cents/sq foot for sides
V = lwh

Area = top + bottom + sides
Area = length * width + length * width + width * height + width * height + length * height + length * height
Cost = 30 (2 length * width) + 20 (2 width * height + length * height)
Cost = 60 length * width + 40 width * height + 40 length * height
4 = length * width * height
4 = 2 width * width * height

height = 2 / width^2
Cost = 60 * 2 width * width + 40 width * 2 / width^2 + 40 * 2 width * 2 / width^2
Cost = 120 w^2 + 80 / w + 160 / w = 120 w^2 + 240 / w
dC / dw = 240 w - 240 / w^2

Set this equal to zero and solve for w
240 w - 240 / w^2 = 0
w = 1/w^2
w^3 = 1

width = 1 foot
length = 2 feet
height = 2 feet

Cost = 60 + 60 + 40 + 40 + 80 + 80 = 360 cents or $3.60
How about that!

Moses wants to make a model of a prism whose bases have 10 sides each. He will use balls of clay for the vertices and straws for the edges.

How many balls of clay will he need
How many faces will his prism have
How many straws will Moses need
