Life is easier than you think -- you have to do is this: Accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, bear the intolerable, and be able to smile at anything. However, being different isn't the same as making a difference.

Well since you didn't like my first answer, how about this: X-VIII=II
Way to go TTH! Or as I say when in Rome: Saepe creat molles aspera spina rosas!

Four couples attended a party. One couple was you and your spouse; another was Pat and Chris. Some people shook hands with one another, but nobody shook hands with oneself or with one's own spouse.
After the party, you asked each person (except yourself) how many different people the person had shaken hands with. Each person replied with a different number--and each person's reply was truthful. You shook hands with Pat.
Did your spouse shake hands with:
Pat
With Chris
Yes, I know its still dark, but I have a long ways to ride, so I will be brief. If the Cincinnati Reds were really the first major league baseball team, who did they play?
Do you see what happens when Mark takes the evening off?
Nothing! That's what happens.

Baseball trivia: The Cincinnati Reds, actually called the Cincinnati Red Stockings, were the first "professional" baseball team. They were the first team to have all salaried players. They played about 15 other teams who were not fully professional ( they weren't all paid). In spite of playing well they collapsed financially. The owners backed a new professional club in Boston which became the Boston Red Stockings in 1871. This became the National Association and was the first all professional baseball league in America.

Lagrange's Four-Square Theorem states that every positive integer can be written as the sum of at most four squares. For example, 6 = 22 + 12 + 12 is the sum of three squares.
Given this theorem, prove that any positive multiple of 8 can be written as the sum of eight odd squares
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.
You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
I loved this one! Has it been posted here before?
If I asked the other guard, which door would he indicate
leads to Paradise?" Take the door oppositeto what's indicated!
Regardless of whom you ask, they'll point to the wrong door.
Does that make sense?

I don't think that's right...
If you asked the truth teller, he would point you to the right door. Therefore going to the opposite would kill you
If you asked... "Which path would the other guard tell me to take?"
That should do the trick
That is right TehMeh...sorry Dutchy :wink:
Okay.....
You are a contestant on the game show Let's Make a Deal, and emcee Monty Hall has a game for you to play. On stage are three huge doors, and he informs you that hidden behind one of the three doors is a brand new sports car, behind another is a donkey, and behind another is 400 pounds of bananas. (This may seem obvious, but your goal is to get the car, not the donkey or the bananas.) He asks you to choose one door, and you will win the prize behind that door. You choose, but before he reveals what you have won, Monty reveals what's behind one of the doors you did not pick, and it's not the car. Before revealing what lies behind the remaining two doors, he makes you one final offer: if you wish, you may switch from your choice to the other remaining door. The question is: Should you switch, should you not switch, or does it matter?
Have a great day guys -

switch
assume theres 100 doors and u pick one, he opens 98. now its more obvious u should switch
Right thoh - I said switch also...it was a shot in the dark though...here is the answer for all you math-minded moguls :wink:
You should switch. If contestants switch every time, one of
two things happens:
(a) With probability 2/3, the contestant picks a wrong door.
Monty Hall shows the prize behind the other wrong door, and the
contestant switches to the door hiding the car.
(b) With probability 1/3, the contestant picks the right
door, Monty Hall reveals either the donkey or the bananas, and
the contestant switches to the other "zonk" prize.
I would like to express my gratitude to Miss mi for keeping this thread alive in my absence. Especially so because she has been in the back yard cutting down trees to give her folks some fuel for winter. You would have to walk many a mile to find a kinder sole!
Just remember to season them first, so the moisture content is around 21%. In the meantime I will send over a parcel from the thrift store.
BTW Tell your ma' hi, I think we met at the old Morrisette Plantation. :wink:

Is this some kind of new world record?

Maybe so, but by golly they have a double wide! I have never ever seen one in Tuscaloosa County.
Miss mi would it seem was driven to fury with the comments;
"Well shoot Stormy"
" beat me!"
I am sorry, I am a pacifist and abhor violence; although I could see my way clear to give you a good larruping with a feather duster! Give me a call 1-800-BEN-DOVER
