Push 0 #78 August 20, 2003 Neat one. I didn't go through solving it, but I think that you solve it like this: You are looking for the biggest power of ten that divides 100! evenly. Write it out: 1 2 3 4 5...100 Start scratching out tens. 2x5 would be 1. 20 would be 1 (because it's 2x10). 100 would be 2. etc. The number of scratches is the answer. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

You'll get it that way, the trick is to count the fives so that you can get the answer without paper. (5x2=10 and there are plenty of twos.) Once people get this far, they still usually get the answer wrong though. (I know I did)~Cindy~ "I dont know what your problem is, but I'll bet its hard to pronounce."

GigaBuist 0 #81 August 21, 2003 Cut once horizontally, once vertically, and another veritcally 90 degreess to the other vertical cut. You get 8 pieces then so you just have to weight the angles properly depending on the size of the bar to get 2 of them equal to 1 7th and the other pieces to be 1 7th the total weight. Seems like this has had a few comments, but I haven't read ahead yet. I'll feel like a real idiot if there's a way to get 7 pieces exactly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 212 #82 August 21, 2003 no..cut it equally into 8 pieces, give him seven, and keep one so that you can afford a new saw blade.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GigaBuist 0 #83 August 21, 2003 QuoteYou find that for the first half of the run, all uphill, your average speed was only 3 miles per hour. How fast must you run on the way back, all downhill, to make for an entire round trip average speed of 6 miles per hour? Have big brain fun Scott C. You're fucked at that point. If you wanted to get 10 miles in an hour (6 minute mile)_ but took an hour to only get 5 miles an hour you're hosed. Can't make that 6minute mile average speed unless you bump up the distance. Maybe I should read ahead to see if these are answered? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
