Prof. Templeton

I would guess

I thought Modigliani died of TB.

Yes to both Highest value

97% of people surveyed say that 87% of statistics are made up half the time.

This is a very good answer and a large number indeed. I am thinking of a large number that can be written with four letters. No more, no less. Kudos on this Huge number however.

Nope. And that's five.

Yes. The English language. I'm thinking of a larger number.

Nice. I thinking of a real number, however.

A professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes. The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. 'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. 'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children and grandchildren. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.' One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

It looks to me as if everything on the left side of the big scale equals 94. I don't see how you get 63. 1-square = 40 2-circles = 30 2-stars = 14 2-triangles = 4 6-bars = 6 Total = 94 You're going to need a lot more than 1 circle on the right.

Both are pretty large numbers, but not the one I had in mind.

@ Yoruichi-san What do these scraps of material look like, and do we know what the material is?

or Zero maybe. Nope. Not very large. Maybe, maybe not. What's the largest you can make.

What is the largest known number that can be written with only four letters?

I'm sure this riddle has appeared in this forum before. Here it is. http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?showto...40&hl=judge

definitely.

Think about how they rotate.

That's why I love this forum, so full of smart people.

It is ordered a certain way.

M, J, M, S, N, U, V Where does the E go in this sequence and why?

Nothing is wetter than Dihydroxy monoxide (except maybe Dideuterium monoxide).

You're correct. I was thinking of Gross Margin, but I had asked you for percentage of change. 100 % on all three. Good Job, and quick too.
