Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. Whereas in advertising, it is 85% confusion and 15% commission.

Who cares where the answer comes from; we are not looking at the Pulitzer prize here. Laughing

Nonsense! I'm the dumbest on here, and I get by; smoke, mirrors and fake it. You do know how to fake it, don't you? I will refrain asking about the mirrors. Laughing

TRY'S VILLAGE
[size=7]floor(3/8 * 25) = 9[/size]

THREE NUMBERS
[size=7]3, 6, 16
At least one number is odd since the differences is 13. Three and nine are the only odd factors of 288. 16 (3+13) is a factor, but 22 (9+13) is not. Therefore, two of the numbers are 3 and 13. 288 / (3*13) = 6.

I get 3 different answers:

#1- 24*3/8=9
#2- 16*3/8=6
#3- 8*3/8=3

Otherwise, total # of boats = 24 & 9 being repaired or total # of boats = 16 & 6 being repaired or total # of boats = 8 & 3 being repaired

Do you know there's a fine line between participation and mockery; which is why it's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.

Now, back to Greenwich Village…


Mark:TTH:

VILLAGE
I get 3 different answers:

#1- 24*3/8=9 Cool
#2- 16*3/8=6 Cool
#3- 8*3/8=3 Cool

That is because Mark got 1/3rd of the answer, whereas you brainykins, have a full set! Razz

Stormy:

Period it = stop it or end it. Cool


LOYAL / TIES = split or divided loyalties Cool


Death Dishonor = death before dishonor Cool

Clean sweep! How clever is that. I will have to crank it up a notch… :wink:


This question could be worth a million!!!

Stormy has a test for her students; there are thirty multiple choice questions. Students receive 2 points for each correct answer, 0 points for each unanswered question, and negative 1 point for each incorrect answer.

If a student had a score of 28 and if the number of unanswered questions is a two digit prime number, how many questions were answered correctly Question

TTH:
TEST SCORE = 15 Cool


Given that the unanswered questions is a two digit prime number and the total numbers of problems are 30 , so the primes between 10 to 30 are: 11, 13, 17, 19,23, 29.

Assume that the number with correct answers is x and the ones with incorrect answers is y 2x- y=28
x+y = 30 - the prime number.

Try those primes from the smallest one , you will get 13 to be the unanswered questions and hence 15 and 2 are the ones with correct and incorrect answers.

Has Thoh been giving you lessons? Laughing
