Mom Moderator Posts: 221 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 05-22-2001 12:26 PM Well...no one got all the questions correct. 1. What number divided into 311, 368, 444 and 672 will always leave the same remainder? ANSWER: 19 2. Figure out this elementary analogy: Nickel is to 28 as Copper is to __? ANSWER: 29. The elements nickel and copper have the atomic numbers 28 and 29, respectively. 3. The numbered column is a list of professions, match them with the lettered list of thier proper definitions. 1.

Hostler A. cuts trees into boards B. writes standardized tests C. moves diesel engines around a rail yard D. collects money at auctions E. repairs barrels F. repairs wagons G. makes hats H. takes care of machinery in mills ANSWERS: 1E 2A 3G 4F 5H 6C 4. All of the following, except one, are different types of climates. Which one doesnt belong? continental, monsoon, desert, polar, temperate, mountain, oceanic ANSWER: Continental (although, I have done some more research and I don't agree with this answer... Monsoon is prolly a better choice as it is really a subtropical, so if you answered Monsoon on your email I will accept that. There technically is no Continental climate, but there is a Humid Continental if you want to split hairs) 5. Below is a message written in code. See if you can untangle this mystery and decipher the message. Hint: Q W E R T Y U I O P O KIDY DP;BRF YJOD [IXX;R ANSWER: I Just Solved This Puzzle IP: Logged
TPS Member Posts: 1005 Registered: Sep 2000	posted 05-22-2001 12:32 PM 1) why is 0 wrong? Divide anything by 0 = impossible (always the same answer ) divide 0 by anything = 0 IP: Logged
Mom Moderator Posts: 221 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 05-22-2001 01:42 PM 0 is not a remainder. A remainder is something left over. 311/19 = 16.368421052631578947368421052632 368/19 = 19.368421052631578947368421052632 444/19 = 23.368421052631578947368421052632 672/19 = 35.368421052631578947368421052632 IP: Logged
BloodDrinker Member Posts: 117 Registered: Feb 2001	posted 05-22-2001 01:58 PM You could have said 1, though. Divide any whole number by one and the remainder is 0. =) But then you get into 'is a lack of remainder truly a remainder' debate that has plagued philosophers and mathematicians for centuries. ------------------ BloodDrinker -A reasonable man tries to adapt to the world around him.

slim- Member Posts: 13 Registered: Apr 2001	posted 06-03-2001 02:59 AM Uh.....anything divided by 0 is infinity bro not impossible. My answer would have been 0! IP: Logged
911POZ Member Posts: 219 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 06-03-2001 02:46 PM In fact yes slim, the result of any number divided by zero is not yet determined. 12 / 3 = 4 is true because 12 = 3 x 4 but 12 / 0 = Y Y being in ]infinity, infinity[ isnt true because 12 != 0 x Y any number multiplicated by zero = zero Now what you were probably referring to when saying a number divided by 0 = infinity is limit 12 / a = infinity a->0 im sorry to post this useless things here IP: Logged
TPS Member Posts: 1005 Registered: Sep 2000	posted 06-04-2001 04:39 PM Damn people, I know my maths, the problem is the English math terms. Basically I didn't understand the question. =P IP: Logged
Slyth Member Posts: 289 Registered: Dec 2000	posted 06-05-2001 03:36 PM so do I get a patch? IP: Logged
