keram Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 For those who think that they got enough for retirement , I intend to prove that every 1$ you have =1 cent Follow me: 1 $=100 cents (true ) 100= 10 X 10 (true) 10 = 0.1 (true) 0.1 X 0.1 = 0.01 true ) sooooo 100 = 0.01 thus 100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c) Now do not spend too much time on OFC, you need to work harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keram Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 After you figured out what is wrong with your money . Try this: Farmer has 17 horses and three sons. In his will the oldest will get 1/2 of the hord, middle one 1/3 and the youngest 1/9 with one condition - all horses has to be alive (do not cut them in pieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 10 = 0.1 (true) huh? Since when does ten equal one tenth? Methinks I find the error in your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keram Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) 1/2 of 17 = 8.5 1/3 of 17 = 5.66666666666666666666666666666 1/9 of 17 = 1.888888888888888888888888888 total= 16.0555555555555 Close, but you need to cut them very precise Condition was they have to be alive Edited March 10, 2007 by keram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keram Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) 9,6, and 2? You are right , but can you explain your calculations ?????????? : thumbsup_anim: Because: 1. 9 is not 1/2 of 17 2. 6 is not 1/3 of 17 3. 2 is not 1/9 of 17 Edited March 10, 2007 by keram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keram Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 For interested another mathematical trick. We will be adding 3 (three) five digit numbers. The trick is that I wil give you a total of them (adding ) after I see yours first Number. how it works? 1. type any 5 didgit number (here or PM ) 2. I will post or send (pm ) the answer 3. type the second 5 digit number 4 I will type my 5 digit number 5 Add them all and you will have an answer ( see 2) The trick is : I have no idea what your second number will be ( but I have already the total ) Anybody wants to try ?

carp-starter Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Proof that “2 is equal to 1” Assume..............................................a = b Both sides multiplied by a.....................a square = ab Subtracted from both sides b square......a square – b square = ab – b square Factored both sides...............................(a - b )(a + b ) = b(a - b ) Divided both sides by (a – b )................(a + b ) = b Replaced a by b...................................2b = 1b Divided both sides by b.........................2 = 1 QED Do you agree or not?? Any comments ??????? carp-starter NOTE - just in case "a square" is the same as "a times a". I cannot type in on this site, "a to the power of 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keram Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) You cannot round it up (or down ) because you will have to cut some horses in pieces ( condition was they have to be alive). This is how it works: The mistake you did not noticed is that ( adding fractions here ) 1/2 +1/6 + 1/9 =17/18 not 18/18 ( 1 hord ) So what they did ? ( I do not know if it was the oldest ( experienced ) or youngest ( smartest ) but they've borrowed one horse from the neighbour. Now they have 18 horses. 1/2 of 18 is 9 1/3 of 18 is 6 1/9 of 18 is 2 9 + 6 + 2 =17 They have one horse extra. Returned it to the neighbour and everybody is happy.

keram Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Do you agree or not?? Any comments ??????? I do not agree and this is why: In your calculation a square – b square = (a - b )(a + b ) it is not true ( reserved my explanation for later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemper Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) "a square – b square = (a - b )(a + b )" Thats false. And heres why... You have to expand (a-b )(a+b ), using FOIL. NOTE: I will use the ^ symbol as "squared" It comes out to... a^+ab-ab-b^ and now that I have typed all this.. I realize that I am absolutley incorrect and you are right. continue.

douG Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) For the fun one about 2=1, the mistake is that you divided both sides by (a - . BUT..., you started out by saying that a=b. This means that you just divided by zero. You can divide by zero if you like, but you can't say what the answer is, no matter how hard you try. For Keram's retirement poser, all the fun goes out if you try to keep track of the units, i.e., c or $. Edited March 12, 2007 by douG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 For those who think that they got enough for retirement , I intend to prove that every 1$ you have =1 cent Follow me: 1 $=100 cents (true ) 100= 10 X 10 (true) 10 = 0.1 (true) 0.1 X 0.1 = 0.01 true ) sooooo 100 = 0.01 thus 100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c) Now do not spend too much time on OFC, you need to work harder 1 $=100 cents (true ) >>>> $1.00=100¢ 100= 10 X 10 (true) >>>> $1.00= 102¢ 10 = 0.1 (true) >>>> $1.00= $0.1X10 (multiple is ten..not exponent) 0.1 X 0.1 = 0.01 true ) >>>> To make this true both sides must be multiplied by 0.1 not just one side sooooo >>>> soooooooo 100 = 0.01 >>>> $0.10=10¢ thus >>>> thus 100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c) >>>> 100cents=100cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keram Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Rick, you are very close to find the error in my calculation, but you are not there yet. This is what you came to 100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c) last bracket should say (1$) anyway.This was exactly my point that 1$ = 1c. The error has nothing to do with multiplying both sides by the same factor. Going farther is getting even worse. Because 10$ is equal to 0.1c 10$ = 1000c 1000 = 10 X 10 X 10 10c = 0.1$ thus 0.1 X 0.1 X 0.1 = 0.001 1000c (1$) =0.001$ so 10$ = 0.1c This is the hint from your calculation 100= 10 X 10 (true) >>>> $1.00= 10^2¢ Error is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
