A rope over the top of a fence has the same length on each side and weighs one-third of a pound per foot. On one end hangs a monkey holding a banana, and on the other end a weight equal to the weight of the monkey. The banana weighs 2 ounces per inch. The length of the rope in feet is the same as the age of the monkey, and the weight of the monkey in ounces is as much as the age of the monkeys mother. The combined ages of the monkey and its mother are 30 years. One-half the weight of the monkey plus the weight of the banana is one-fourth the sum of the weights of the rope and the weight. The monkeys mother is one half as old as the monkey will be when it is three times as old as its mother was when she was one half as old as the monkey will be when it is as old as its mother will be when she is four times as old as the monkey was when it was twice as old as its mother was when she was one third as old as the monkey was when it was as old as its mother was when she was three times as old as the monkey was when it was one fourth as old as it is now. How long is the banana?

There are 1200 elephants in a herd. Some have pink and green stripes, some are all pink and some are all blue. One third are pure pink. Is it true that 400 elephants are definitely blue?

Thank you Thalia and Phaze. I find your answers fascinating.

My christian friends: Do you believe that sentient alien life exists? If you do, do you believe they have souls? If you do, do you believe Christ died for their sins or is he only a human sacrifice?

A famous discussion between two mathematicians on the existence of god, i believe Euler (i could be wrong) was the recipient of such an argument: other mathematician: what do you say is the probability that god exists? Euler: I believe 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 other mathematician: well what is the potential benefit from believing in god if you die? Euler: well if you are right, then i will receive eternal bliss. Other mathematician: well, if we simply calculate the expected outcome, we have 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 times infinity which means you would have an outcome benefit of infinity. while if God doesn't exist, and one doesn't believe anyways, then there is no lost.

different cultures, different mores

I have four positive numbers, a, b, c and d (not necessarily integers). Obviously, there are six ways to multiply pairs of them, yielding the products a*b, a*c, a*d, b*c, b*d and c*d. I tell you what five of these products are (but not which product is what): 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 What's the sixth product?

On a minor note: if one accepts that the big bang happened then they must realize that the big bang did not happen in the presennce of nothingness. It is a misunderstanding of the big bang to believe it happened in a vacuous space. Now, I will return to the sidelines and enjoy the discussion.

Dr.Will wants to operate for three different persons who were wounded. But he had only two surgical gloves. There is no allowed blood contact between the three persons. How can Dr.Will operate for the three people with two pair of surgical gloves?

unless page 9808 was the last numbered page. But the reason why i prefer the other solution is that the op requested consecutive pages.

From a book, a number of consecutive pages are missing. The sum of the page numbers of these pages is 9808. Which pages are missing?
