LoL, my mistake

Thank you

Hmm do they consider the hypotenuse a leg in America?

"Wow, cool house!" my friend said one day. "How old is it?" "Well, my dad was born in it, and the house was fifteen years old then. And the funny thing is, if you square the house's age, the first half is my dad's age and the second half is my age!" How old is the house, how old is my dad, and how old am I?

Two algebra students decide to save time on their homework by sharing the work equally. But after a while Karen has only done three-fifths of the problems that Sharon has left, which in turn is four-sevenths of the amount that Sharon has done. How much faster must Karen work than Sharon,if they care to finish simultaneously?

The most famous Pythagorean Triangle (a right triangle with all integer sides) is the 3 , 4 , 5 where 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2. The 'legs', a=3 and b=4, are consecutive integers, making a nearly-isosceles right triangle. What are the next two smallest integral right triangles with consecutive legs?

Three sisters : Venus , Serena , and the well-hidden little Cathy, play one tennis opponent per week. The chances of each sister beating any unrelated player are 7/10, 8/10, and 9/10, respectively. The probabilities of any sister beating another are given in the table / v s c v .0 .6 .7 s .4 .0 .9 c .3 .1 .0 (for example Venus beats Cathy 7/10 of the time). Each week, one pair of sisters plays each other (at random) ; the third plays an outsider. In a 50-match season, which player is likely to win the most matches, and how many matches would each one expect to win, on the average?

Plasmid's answer is more efficient in terms of the amount of apples to be used.

I was hoping the fabulous minds at Brainden could pull together. Oh well.

A shuffle of 2n cards puts the first n cards in the odd positions and the last n cards in the even positions.[For example shuffle (1,2,3,4,5,6) and you get (1,4,2,5,3,6).] Heather has 10 cards, 1-10, Briana has 12 cards, 1-12. Each shuffles her deck 2000 times. "Hey, my deck is back to its original state!" Who said that, and which card does the other deck have in position #5?

Eddie, the eccentric rich guy, wants to give away one MILLION dollars. Eddie has two quirks: (1) he gives each person either $1, $7, $49, or some power of seven, and (2) he won't give more than six people the same size gift. How many people received money, and exactly how did he distribute his fortune?

if the computer correctly predicts your picking style, then whatever money is disclosed in the envelopes is payment to your uncle. If the computer incorrectly guesses your picking style then whatever is disclosed in the envelopes is your payment. So option B So, the amount won or lost is determined by the contents of both envelopes in all cases? I was assuming that only the chosen envelope determines the amount. your previous answer was what i was looking for.

What happens if you only stare at the " + " ? http://0.tqn.com/d/puzzles/1/0/a/-/mime-att.gif

The question isn't whether you CAN cross the moat. The question is, what is the widest the moat can be to make it across.

I cannot remember what country it was but there was a rather controversial study in that a scientist rigged a container to receive constant electric shocks to a liquid environment (i believe) and within that environment was the basic compounds of life in isolated chemical forms (e.g. carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen). after about two weeks of running the electric shock the scientist noticed that the chemicals were forming into amino acids published his findings and received such backlash that the study couldn't be furthered. the point: life isn't hard to create if the foundation is there and a little shock occurs to push events along.

If you keep repeating (more than a single recurssion) you should come to the same conclusion as Barcallica.

yes. now we need to answer the last two questions
