I come not to praise Caesar; but to make some salad dressing: Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature. Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.

I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success…Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one…

Do you know; that is the sweetest line I have ever read! Cool
I hope your job is going well, and you have spare cash to spend on yourself.

Salutations Stormy, you are right as always. Cool

Are you thinking of changing jobs?



An airplane weighs 10,000 pounds, has a 1000 gallon tank, burns fuel at a rate of 5 gallons per minute, and has a speed in miles per hour of 6,000,000 divided by the sum of weight of the plane and remaining fuel.

Each gallon of fuel weighs 10 pounds. With a full tank how far can the plane fly Question

[size=7]I get 2000*(ln(20) - ln(10)), which is approximately 1386.29436 miles.[/size]

The weight of the plane as a function of time, in pounds per hour of flying time, is f(w)=20,000-3,000*t
The plane will run out of fuel after 10/3 hours.

The distance the plane can cover is the integral from 0 to 10/3 of (6,000,000/(20,000-3,000t)) dt.

= 6,000,000 * -1/3000 * ln(20,000-3,000t) from 10/3 to 0.

= -2,000 * ln(1/2)

= 2000 * ln(2) =~ 1386.3 miles


"Welcome back, old man!"

Dagnabbit; you young un's spend far too much time learning; still, it's good to be back for a while; Very Happy did I miss much?

You have two bags of M & M candy. One bag has 99 red candies and 1 blue candy.

The other bag has 99 blue candies and 1 red candy.

You choose a bag at random, open it, and draw just one candy from the bag. If the candy drawn is red what is the probability that it was drawn from the bag with 99 reds and 1 blue Question

Books have knowledge, knowledge is power, power corrupts, corruption is a crime, and crime doesn't pay...so if you keep reading, you'll go broke!

Mark:

CANDY
.99 Cool Cool


Pr(A|B)=Pr(AB)/Pr(B)
Pr(AB) = Probability that bag with 99 reds is drawn and 1 red is drawn from that bag = 1/2 * 99/100 = 99/200.
Pr(B) = Probability that a red is drawn = ((1/2)*(99/100) + (1/2)*(1/100)) = 100/200 = 1/2.
Pr(AB)/Pr(B) = (99/200)/(100/200) = 99/100.

A priest and a pirate are shipwrecked on an island with a boat which is large enough to carry only one of them to the mainland. They decide to let Lady Luck decide which one of them will be rescued.

On the island they find two coins. Assuming that at least one of the coins is fair -- that is, gives heads or tails 50% of the time -- but not knowing which one that may be, how can they use the coins to decide fairly who gets off the island Question

COINS
[size=7]Probably not the answer you're looking for...
Since neither knows which coin is unfair, pick either one of the coins, and let one person select heads or tails. If the unfair coin is selected, the person selecting heads or tails has a 50/50 chance of giving himself an advantage or disadvantage.

You are right…But it works! Very Happy

A variation on the theme:

The cleanest solution has the priest flip one coin and the pirate flip one coin. If their coins match, the priest goes, if not the pirate goes. It's straightforward to check that each outcome occurs exactly 50% of the time.

Each flips both the coins. Whoever gets more heads wins. If they tie, they flip again. Neither coin needs to be fair.

One other "solution" deserves to be mentioned, for its entertainment value if for no other reason. Have the priest put both coins in one hand and put both hands behind his back. If the pirate guesses which hand holds the coins, he goes. Laughing





Good to see you back TTH; did you have a nice trip?
You were right to back Mark!
I didn't know Thoh was into art!

Ps > There is a fabulous El Squid Roe jacket on eBay going cheap that might fit! :wink:




Twenty-seven identical white cubes are assembled into a single cube, the outside of which is then painted black.

The cube is then disassembled and the smaller cubes thoroughly shuffled in a bag.

A blindfolded man (who cannot feel the paint) reassembles the pieces into a cube.

What is the probability that the outside of this cube is completely black Question

Hi Try
You are too funny Laughing
I had a good time, except for that darn jacket, and it is nice to see you again Very Happy

Probability again? Could you leave some question for a normal (that is debatable) person like me to answer?

p.s. I already know the answer. I won't post it because it isn't my work Very Happy

CUBE
[size=7]I think there are 27! * 24^27 ways to reconstruct the cube.
I think there are:
1! * 24^1 ways to get the center cube correct
6! * 4^6 ways to get the centers of the faces correct
8! * 3^8 ways to get the corners correct
12! * 2^12 ways to get the edges correct

That gives us:
(1! * 24^1 * 6! * 4^6 * 8! * 3^8 * 12! * 2^12) / (27! * 24^27)
which is approximately:
1.8298 * 10^(-37)
