1 = ln(e)

and

1 = sin[squared] (p) + cos [squared] (p)

and

[ couldnt find it in character map so bear with me ]

2 = The sum of, with upper bound of infinity and lower bound of 0, 1/2 to the n

Is there any special knowledge we would need to calculate them, Gil?

I'm game!
Actually if you can do algebra you can probably figure drip rates pretty easily. Once you've figured out the equation you younger folks that have recent "higher math" experience can probably do them in your heads.
It's old farts like me that need a couple of minutes and a peice of paper. :lol:
The thing that usually throws me, is that not all tubing has the same number of drops (gtts) per ml.

Well, you're algebra book is wrong. I already posted the quadratic formula. You posted the general form of a quadratic equation.

Then don't blame me, blame the book. And its glossary!
 
Here's one;
Referring to the picture below, connect the the squares to the circles and circles to the squares with lines without having them cross. (so for square 1 you would draw to A, B, and C, from circle A you would draw to 1, 2, and 3, etc). Enjoy!

Curveball, your post ranking jumps to another everyday.

Isn't it suppose to change every 100 posts?
:rolleyes:

That's theoretically incorrect.

See I have about 14 posts per day, (according to my profile) so it would take about a week for it to change.
 
Jpec:

Connect Line from A-B-C, Connect line from 1-2-3
Connect A-1, B-2, C-3. Technically speaking, 123 and ABC are all conected through each other =p
 
no, because off the page, the lines would intersect (You're just making a large circle when you do the cylinder thingie...)
 
It says nothing about the numbers cant use the same line. They are all connected through a highway system type thing.

that's one of those things that goes without saying, there have to be nine distinct lines connecting them to each other. that answer is illegal...

That's not math. It's also not possible.
 
The truth is that I don't know the actual answer. According to what I've heard, it took Einstein 20 years to solve this one (that's when I vowed to solve it in 15). The original problem deals with houses, fire hydrants and hoses (with the same layout as above; even though that doesn't matter). The one solution I came up with is that the houses are on stilts and that they have hose-recievers on he ends of the stilts. If this were the case, the hoses could be run under the stilts without problem (as the stilts don'w actually count as a part of the house). That one, I admit, was too hard (and I didn't quite explain it right). This next one, however, you may find intriguing (multiple choice).
If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs can ten chickens lay in ten days?
  • 100 eggs
  • 66.7 eggs
  • 2/3 egg
  • 150 eggs
  • Other (please specify)
