Drawing a counter from 2 bags 2020-05-21
Sephy pose la question :
Question 4: Two bags, 1 and 2, each contain equal size counters.
Bag 1 contains a pink counter, yellow counter and white counter. Bag 2 contains counters labelled 1, 4, 5 and 7.
A counter is drawn at random from bag 1 and a counter is drawn at random from bag 2.
If the counter from bag 1 is pink, the number on the counter from bag 2 is increased by 1
If the counter from bag 1 is yellow, the number on the counter from bag 2 is decreased by 5
If the counter from bag 1 is white, the number is halved.

Parallelogram area 2015-08-04
Nigel pose la question :
To find the area of a parallelogram you multiply the base by the height of the parallogram, the height being determined by an imaginary line drawn at right angles to the base. However if I made a parallelogram with joints at each corner and maipulated it to an upright position where the base and sides were at 90 degrees to each other,, I could then simply multiply the base times the height to get the area. Since the sloping side of the parallelogram does not vary in my imaginary jointed model, why can I not simply multiply the base by the sloping side to get the area in the same way that I multiply the base times the height of a square to find its area ? I cannot find the answer to this on the internet although I have searched.

I am trying to understand a^(2^n). The hint they give is a^(2^(n+1)) = (a^(2^n))^2 I am writing a program that will solve a^(2^n) recursively but need to understand the power before I begin. I am currently pursuing writing (a) x (a^(2^(n-1))) where the (a^(2^(n-1))) would be the recursive function call a n approaches 0. Once n is 0, the result would be multiplied by a two more times. Anyway, explaining these powers would be appreciated. I will most likely complete the program before the answer but I want to understand the logic of these powers. Thank you, Tim

Linear programming using the Simplex Method 2009-12-28
William pose la question :
A gold processor has two sources of gold ore, source A and source B. In order to keep his plant running, at least three tons of ore must be processed each day. Ore from source A costs $20 per ton to process, and ore from source B costs $10 per ton to process. Costs must be kept to less than $80 per day. Moreover, Federal Regulations require that the amount of ore from source B cannot exceed twice the amount of ore from source A. If ore from source A yields 2 oz. of gold per ton, and ore from source B yields 3 oz. of gold per ton, how many tons of ore from both sources must be processed each day to maximize the amount of gold extracted subject to the above constraints? I need a linear programming solution or algorithm of the simplex method solution. Not a graphical solution. Thanks.

The same number take part in the sprint and the hurdles as take part in the relay and the hurdles. Eleven of the “turkeys” taking some part in these three races do not do the relay. Five “turkeys” take part in the sprint and the relay and three enter all three races. There are four teams of four “turkeys” in the relay. And, one more “turkey” is running in both the relay and the sprint than in the hurdles only.

“Turkey” Coe turned and said to “Turkey” Kim, “How many ‘turkeys’ were taking some part in any of the three races?” The nuttiest math professor, “Turkey” Young, said “There were ________ ‘turkeys’ taking part in any of the three races.” Fill in the blank!!!

Proving a quadrilateral is a rectangle 2007-07-14
Sonja pose la question :
I was having this discussion with another teacher and we need a third opinion. When you are trying to prove a quadrilateral is a rectangle which method should you use:
  1. Prove the shape is a parallelogram by doing slope 4 times by stating that parallel lines have equal slopes. Then proving a right angle by stating that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.
  2. Doing the slope 4 times and stating that the shape is a rectangle because opposite sides are parallel because of equal slopes and it contains a right angle because of negative reciprocal slopes.
I guess the real question is do you have to first state that the shape is a parallelogram?

Each Part II requires five minutes on Machine A, one minutes on Machine B and six minutes on Machine C. The shop makes a profit of $8 on each Part I and $5 on each Part II. However, the number of units of Part II produced must not be less than half the number of Part I. Also each day the shop has only 120 minutes of machine A, 72 minutes of Machine B, and 180 minutes of Machine C available for the production of the two parts. What should be the daily production of each part to maximize the shop's profit?

Genealogy 2001-03-22
Brian pose la question :
In considering tracing genealogy the problem of a large and growing number of direct (grandparent) ancestors arose. Since the number of grandparents in any given generation doubles, for a person born in 2000 and assuming 25 year generations, in the year 1000 that person would have over one trillion direct ancestors in that year alone. Since estimates I have read place the total world population in 1000 at 250-300 million, the one trillion figure cannot be correct. I must be missing something in my calculations. Can you help provide the answer? While I am unlikely to be able to trace back to 1000, there is reason to believe 1250 is possible. Even in that year there would exist over one billion direct ancestors. That is certainly rather daunting and unlikely to be achieved if correct.
