If you took 100 kg of stones and 100 kg of feathers, which would you think is heavier? :mrgreen:

Trick question dude. You'd look at 100Kg of feathers and cry when you had to move it.

A lot of the stability of a bicycle is in the angle the steering column makes with the vertical axis. The front wheel is located a bit in front of the vertical line from the bearings. I looked into it 25 years ago as an assignment in physical modelling and I soon found out that the problem is quite intricate and a lot more advanced than people might think.

How much does the angle need to be adjusted for each beer consumed?? :lol:

A woman have a little hotel but very seldom any guests. One day 3 guys showing up and ask for a room and how much it is. The woman thinking a little then charge them 10$ each. Total 30$. The men goes to their rooms but the woman start to think she charged them too much. She there for sends her son to the men with 5$. On the way the boy is thinking about how in the under earth he is going to split 5$ on 3 men. He takes a drastic decision. He steals 2 $ and puts in his own pocket. Then he give the men 1$ each.

Now the men have paid 9$ each. Total 3x9= 27$
The boy have stolen 2$
27+2=29$
Were is the last 1$ ?

Of course a 100 kilograms of anything wouldn't be light =) I asked 3 people this same old question after I wrote this. 2 actually said one over the other lol. Its funny how the mind works. Theres the other saying with math and sixty cups. (6 teacups.) :mrgreen:

There are no $ in the big fire assay since they have no real value. They just go up in smoke so to say. If with a sulfur smell its petro $.

 

[butcher]

Math with missing values loses $1.00

That dollar is with one of the 25 dollars lady received.
The men paid 27 dollars, ($30) paid original and were refunded $3, while, the boy holds 2 stolen dollars, the lady holds 25 dollars, the men hold 3 dollars.
men 3 + woman 25 + boy2 = 30

men 3 + woman 25 + boy2 = 30

That is what is called correct math. I take my hat of for you.

Math order of operations.

I was taught PEMDAS or Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.

First parenthesis, exponents, division/multiplication, addition/subtraction.

A boy has as many sisters as brothers, but each sister has only half as many sisters as brothers.

How many brothers and sisters are there in the family?

Two travellers spend from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock walking along a level road, up a hill and back again. Their pace is 4 mph on the level, 3 mph uphill, and 6 mph downhill.

How far do they walk and at what time do they reach the top of the hill?

[Platdigger]

Well, to you brothers and sister one: 4 boys and 3 girls.

99 wolves and a sheep are on the meadow.
Every wolf wants to eat the sheep, but when a wolf eats the sheep, it itself turns into a sheep. Which (of course) doesn't want to be eaten.
If we assume that wolves know that, also they can think logically and count, will the sheep be eaten?
