Inspector Gin Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Posted February 12, 2011 wrong. Do you wan't a hint?
Inspector Gin Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Posted February 15, 2011 I think it's to hard for the girls :mrgreen:
tengaku squared Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Did everyone forget about this topic?
tengaku squared Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 I know the answer. Sorry, but that's not right.
Aeyra Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 I've never read/watched it! How am I supposed to know? Is the answer three?! Two?! You know, I'm just going to think of a complicated balancing equations problem to put here and that way you actually have to think to answer it. Either that, or I'll put up a National MathCounts problem. *meh*
Inspector Gin Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Posted March 14, 2011 Okay, I'll just go with none. Wrong! Is the answer 4? Are you going to say 4 than 3 than 2 than 1? Because I've never read the freaking books! Why don't you look up the freaking book?
tengaku squared Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I guess I will give a hint. Since no one gets the question, this topic should be locked. (I don't mean this seriously, it's the hint)
Aeyra Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I searched it up and it said four stinking kids and a dog. It says so on Wikipedia.
tengaku squared Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 No...I looked it up on Wikipedia too...
Aeyra Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Julian, Dick and Anne get together with their cousin George Four Children! Count them!
HalfAngel Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Hmmm...don't know what's that. Uhm, is the answer FIVE??? Wrong
Aeyra Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Now the answer would be FIVE then, wouldn't it? But last time I checked, DOGS WEREN'T CONSIDERED CHILDREN!
Inspector Gin Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 I guess I will give a hint. Since no one gets the question, this topic should be locked. (I don't mean this seriously, it's the hint) What is the hint? I searched it up and it said four stinking kids and a dog. It says so on Wikipedia. Did it say four STINKING kids and a dog? No...I looked it up on Wikipedia too... What did it say? Julian, Dick and Anne get together with their cousin George Four Children! Count them! That right! it's four with a dog, that's why it's called Blytons Famous Five. Well, count the dog. It will be five. But the dog is not a kid! Now the answer would be FIVE then, wouldn't it? But last time I checked, DOGS WEREN'T CONSIDERED CHILDREN! You are right dogs are not considered children. Girls turn :grin:!
Aeyra Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Let's see, um, something nice and hard... Looks in MathCounts National Problems. (an easier one to start with) Two regular square pyramids have all edges 12cm in length. The pyramids have parallel bases and parallel edges, and each has a vertex at the center of the other pyramid's base. What is the total number of cubic centimeters in the volume of the intersection of the two pyramids? Express the answer in simplest radical form. Calculators allowed! (though it doesn't need one...)
tengaku squared Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Bear with me here, I did this all in my head, and I'm a tad rusty on math. Is it 1728√3 cm3?
Aeyra Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Bear with me here, I did this all in my head, and I'm a tad rusty on math. Is it 1728√3 cm3? ... ... ... Quite a bit off. You should do it on paper. Hint: Formula is: 1/3 BH for the pyramids. You should get an octahedron out of this problem though.
tengaku squared Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Hint: Formula is: 1/3 BH for the pyramids. You should get an octahedron out of this problem though. Ohhhh. I accidentally for some dumb reason did the cylinder formula, and as I said, I did this in my head. How did I get the square root, I have no clue.
