KD · Post by KD » 22 Jan 2003, 18:26

Q4: Your parents, or let's say your mother. You don't want her, coz it's not your decision, but don't wanna lose.
The other questions are answered i think.
Q3: birds are drinking so that they are aimind their head to the sky, and then the water can go down in their neck, but in space there's no gravity to help this. Maybe they should fly around, so the accelerating could be enough instead of gravity

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 22 Jan 2003, 19:00

Some more final thoughts on the 1st Question:
Maybe he was shot out of a cannon, or
he went into water and the zip/fastners rusted shut.

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 23 Jan 2003, 11:27

Question 4: 3 sons, 4 daughters
Question 5:

C=3, D=2.5

2.5^6=244.1406 blah blah blah

I cant find D^6=243 (C=3, 3^5=243), but I do know that its between 2.498049 and 2.49805...!

Jalli · Post by **Jalli** » 23 Jan 2003, 18:21

Question 5 is possible with whole numbers (not using decimals). This was a task in a competition I entered and I think it's actually possible finding the answer without using a calculator since calulators were forbidden in the compo. I howewer found the answer a few days ago using a calculator. So from no on, no decimals allowed in this question.

chux · Post by **chux** » 23 Jan 2003, 18:35

Ohhh yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!
A = 625
B = 125
C = 64
D = 32
A - D = 593

In working this out though, I found that there's actually quite a few ways to do it, so this may not be the one you have, it works though...try it!

Jalli · Post by **Jalli** » 24 Jan 2003, 14:14

Naiz work ChuckleS. I didn't think anyone would get that one

Zworqy made no. 3 and 4, and is still in the lead.

ANSWER: Franz Ferdinand was always sewd into his uniform at every special occasion. He wanted his clothing to be perfect. When he got shot, nobody found a pair of scissors fast enough so he bled to death.
