Stomach And Pooing Problems

[The Problem of the Week] quit!

With the entry of the new smoking ban, perhaps few others can inspire the next problem to quit smoking:

Ms. Menchu, a heavy smoker for many years, finally decided to quit upon learning of the malignancy of snuff and see all her friends were leaving now. "I will end the 27 remaining cigarettes," he said, "and never smoke again."

The habit of smoking Ms. Menchu \u200b\u200bwas exactly 2 / 3 of each cigarette.

Before long discovered that with the help of adhesive tape could hit three cigarette butts and do another.

With 27 cigarettes, how many smoking snuff before leaving for good?

Solution:

When the 27 smoke 27 cigarette butts are left, each 1 / 3 of cigarettes. Is obtained by joining three cigarette butts, then with the 27 butts Menchu \u200b\u200b9 cigarettes can make more. But here are just the thing when you smoke these 9 cigarette butts you have 9, and 3 cigarettes they can develop more, and when you smoke these, with the 3 remaining butts can get a last cigarette, which will give a last butt, and is itself no longer can use.

Total: 27 + 9 + 3 + 1 = 40 cigarettes in total.

Enlargement:

We've added a small geometrical progression four terms, with initial term 27 and right 1 / 3. If we allow Menchu \u200b\u200bcontinue smoking the cigarette he had left and it continues to meet every time the size of the cigarette is reduced by 2 / 3, we could continue the sum of the progression

27 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 9 + 1 / 27 + ...

This infinite progression is a finite sum, calculated with the operation 27 / (1 - 1 / 3) = 81 / 2 = 40.5

Note: This problem is quite old and I think it is the first I propose instead that the apprentices as a problem of the week. By the way, never too late to remember and insist that snuff smoking is injurious to health , And in each breath we are introducing into the body thousands of poisonous substances that eventually we can produce all kinds of diseases, especially cancer. I hope nobody is taking this problem occurs, or the image contained in it as an inducement to smoking.

[The Problem of the Week]

The problem that we present on this occasion is the calendar, so necessary since the dawn of human history, and has always presented a myriad of curiosities.

in Spain dates as December 6, 2010 06/12/1910 often abbreviated, but in other countries like the United States, is given first month and then the day, write 06.12.1910.

If desconociésemos which of the two systems is used, how many dates would be indeterminate in shorthand?

The solution ... ?

abajoooo ...

[dedicate today's photo Martin Gardner, a brilliant popularizer of math and author of many books on recreational mathematics. This issue of the dates is taken from one of his books.]

Solution:

As we only have twelve months, the number of the month can go from 1 to 12, while days, depending on the month, can reach 31. A date on which the figure for the day is over 12 and does not lead to confusion, whether English or American. If we 22/05/1910, or if we 5/22/10, in both cases it is clear that the date is May 22, 2010, first written in English order, and then written in the American order.

The dates will be indeterminate when the day is 12 or less. Combining 12 months and 12 days for each month, leaving us 144 possibilities.

However, among these combinations, those in which the number of the month and day matching either are indeterminate, so 4/4/1910 is April 4, 2010, either in English or American.

Therefore, of the 144 possibilities we have to subtract 12 days to the same month and day (January 1, February 2, etc.) In conclusion dates remain undetermined 132.

This problem has been excerpted from the book Wheels, life and other fun math by Martin Gardner.

Kidde Smoke Alarm Beeping With New Battery

reading "Les veus of Pámanes" a beautifully written book but it brings me down the street from bitterness, I remembered a story "?, By calling something that my father told me long ago .

He is a small, very small town of Malaga. The first time I visited Malaga, and only until it became an adult, was both the Franco visited. And the mayor, the Falange, the vital forces in general, its people had to fill a bus of people to go see him. Nothing smaller than a crowd was to receive the leader. And I guess that would be the same in every town. If you said that to Malaga to lift the arm, going, raising his arm, and less profitable to teach your older child something that maybe you would not have otherwise been.
