What?

So, you don't know anything about the song that was dedicated from you to me Shocked

I was wondering why you would dedicate that song considering we don't know each other. It made me smile anyway. Here is the link Laughing

Listen, if I was granted three wishes; I would save two especially for you!

Ok TTH! The fog of confusion is beginning to clear in the heat of the morning sun.

djjd62 started a thread :

cyphercat left A2K????????????

Cyphercat responded:

djjd62, Dag, and TTH eloped and will never return again?????"Orgasmatron by 'Sepulchura' is OtwoTheeO'."

The orgasmatron is a fictional electromechanical device that appears in the 1973 movie Sleeper, which also shows the effects of a related device, an orgasmic orb. The orgasmatron was made by decorating an elevator in the home where the movie was filmed. A device with similar effect (but applied to devious purposes) appears in the movie Barbarella. Embarrassed

Etc, where is you at, are you being held by the forces of evil? If so

knock three times on the ceiling if you want me to call the cops
twice on the pipe if the answer is no
oh my sweetness means you'll meet me in the alleyway
twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

How sweet of you. Wait......you would save 2 wishes for me. You didn't say you would give them to me. Which means you would use 2 on me Shocked

Gus knows that the number and sizes of rings in a cross section of a tree trunk can give clues about the age of the tree. He finds out that a pine tree grows 1/4 inch thick ring per year in its first 60 years of life; it grows a 1/3 inch thick ring per year in the next 80 years; and it grows 1/2 inch thick ring per year in the next 200 years.

How many inches in diameter would a 50 year old tree be

What would the circumference of a 123 year old tree be

What would the radius of a tree with 310 rings be

I came up with 3 ft for the circumference if I rounded? I know what the radius and diameter mean. I don't know how to figure it out though Confused

"You admit to knowing this"

I admit to nothing; it was a typo! Laughing

TREES:

"I came up with 3 ft for the circumference if I rounded?"

That was better than anyone else came up with. Very Happy

A pine tree grows:

a. 1/4 inch thick ring per year for first 60 years,
b.1/3 inch thick ring per year in the next 80 years,
c.1/2 inch thick ring per year in the next 200 years,

1. How many inches in diameter would a 50 years old tree grow to?

Within 60 years, it grows 1/4 inch per year, rate =1/4 inch/year, time = 50 years
Radius of the tree ( thickness) = rate * time= 1/4 * 50=12.5 inches
D = 2 R= 2*12.5= 25 inches

2. Circumference of a 123 year old tree?

First 60 years, Radius= 1/4 * 60 = 15 inches
within next 80 years: rate= 1/3 inch/year, time = 123-60=63 years
radius= rate * time= 1/3* 63= 21 inches
so total radius = 15 + 21 = 36 inches
circumference = 2 Pi R= 2*pi*36=72 Pi inches

3. What would be the radius of a tree with 310 rings?

310 rings means 310 years; so for the first 60 years radius = 1/4 * 60=15 inches;
for the next 80 years radius = 1/3 * 80 = 80/3 inches
for the next 200 years, rate= 1/2 inch/year, time = 310 -60-80=170 years
radius= rate *time= 1/2 * 170= 85 inches
so total radius = 15+80/3 + 85

A rectangular board of 8 columns has squares numbered beginning in the upper left corner and moving left to right so row one is numbered 1 through 8, row two is 9 through 16, and so on.

Mark takes a pencil from his fancy pencil case and shades square 1, then skips one square and shades square 3, skips two squares and shads square 6, skips 3 squares and shades square 10, and continues in this way until there is at least one shaded square in each column.

What is the number of the shaded square that first achieves this result Question

I stopped at total radius. So, I should have multiplied the 3ft (36 inches) by
2*Pi Evil or Very Mad

I just knew there was another step, I just didn't look it up on the net (obviously)

What is the number of the shaded square that first achieves this result

Amusingly, an integer 8*n = n*(n+1)/2

Equivalent to (n+1)C2

I was amused Rolling Eyes

I missed it though since I am not amused by integers Confused

Oh Try, you believe that moral of your story on A2K members? Wanna make a bet about that? I bet I can come back on as a different member (with staff knowledge) and the members won't know it is me.

Personally I have yet to be amused by an integer. However, I could be hospitalized over a nilpotent matrix! Laughing

Let's write out the first couple shaded numbers associated with the column numbers:

1 (1), 3=1+2( 3) , 6=3+3(6), 10=6+4(2), 15=10+5( 7: 15 is 1 square from 24) , 21=15+6 ( 5: 21 is 3 squares from 24), 28=21+7( 4: 28 is 4 squares from 32),36= 28+8 ( 4: 36 is 4 squares from 40)......

Now we can see that there are shaded squares in first 7 columns...what will be the first shaded number in column 8 ( multiple of 8)?
use x(n+1) = x(n)+n, n=2,3,4,5..... x(1)= 1 to keep adding until you find a number which is a multiple of 8.

36+9=45 45+10=55 55+11=66 66+12=78 78+13=91 91+14=105 105+15= 120
120= 8* 15 so 120 is the number that can achieve this result.

I do not advocate anything that contravenes the TOS. I myself have less than eight different logon names. I thought you were both Gus and kicky. If it's ok, give it a go and be spotted very quick!

Hi Raphael, things ok?
