a question.. who knows?

^536870912? :hmm:
That, if it's 31 days.

This reminds me of a story I read somewhere about a wise old man who was granted a wish from the ruler of the land to ask for whatever he wanted. He said he does not wish for much...just take a chessboard and put a rice grain in the first square and two in the second and four in the third and so forth. The king laughs and says "is that all you WANT??". He asks his minister to carry out the task. To their horror they realize that they don't have that much rice in their whole kingdom !!

^yh i think that story was in my gcse maths book.

so:

64 squares on a chess board. therefore the total amount of rice on it = (1-2^64)/-1 = 1.845*10^19 grains of rice
if one grain of rice weighs 0.028 grams

then we get total of ((1.845*10^19)*0.028)/1000000 = 516 508 834 064 tonnes

poor king. he totally deserved it though cause that guy was trying to get food for his villiage (i think)

 

[Abu Zainab]

then we get total of ((1.845*10^19)*0.028)/1000000 = 516 508 834 064 tonnes

WOW !! If we assume that on an average a single person consumes 10 kg of rice every month - that figure could feed 51,650,883,406,400 people for a month !! I would imagine the earth didn't even produce that much rice since Adam alaihissalam.:hiding:

This thread is meant for fun, not to share boring Mathematicals

Sorry

Like i said

2^30 = 1073741824 ?

Gone over the top

^536870912? :hmm:

Gone wayy over the top. . .

The Answer is:Over 10 million dollars!

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Ok finally!
my turn :-\

Next:
What is red and smells like blue paint?

 

[Abu Zainab]

And u believe that bro?:-\

There is nothing to believe here...its all basic math. Anyway sorry for getting too geeky....lets continue with the puzzles

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.

**** Red paint??****

I dont know :-\
They are for me to Post/Ask You wonderful members, not for you to ask me :-\ *Angers up*

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

**** Red paint??****

Correct :-\

Ok this is a geeeky one

What has three eyes but can't see?

And please for somethings saake do NOT googgle it! Its not that hard to take in is it?

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

That's a wrong answer :hmm: It's just 5.37 Million dollars, or the amount I mentioned^, to be exact. :hmm:

Thats what it says the answer is :-\ which is over 10 million dollars :-\

Allahu Alam

 

[Abu Zainab]

OK...heres a tough one. Use your mathematical skills for this one.

A shopkeeper has an old-style scale...you know the type where you put some known weight one one side and the stuff you want to weigh on the other side. This guy has only four pieces of weights. With these four he can weigh from 1 kg to 40 kg (no grams please).

Supposing he wants to weigh 35 kg or 8 kg or whatever....he can do it using only these four weights. Its not necessary to use ALL of them at the same time though.

What are these four weights?

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^ Not sure :-\ ...

 

[Abu Zainab]

^ Not sure :-\ ...

Not that fast....it takes at least a few minutes to figure it out...You need to do some serious calculations here.

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Not so sure . . .Show some clues InshaAllaah. . .
My matematicals skills are rubbish Indeed

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^ You put 5 kg nd then 5 kg and i dont know . . and then the person gets bored and runs home coz he cant be bothered to weigh stuff anymore

So yeah

 

[Asiyah3]

Is it insha'Allah 10, 20, 30 and 40? or 5, 7, 12 and 15 (=39)?

 

[Abu Zainab]

Is it insha'Allah 10, 20, 30 and 40? or 5, 7, 12 and 15 (=39)?

In that case how will he weigh anything less than 5 kg?? The idea is to be able to weigh from 1 to 40 kg. I will give you a hint: actually this is the way they weigh using these kind of scales....You can put some of those weight pieces along with the stuff you want to weigh - for balance.
