Sorry, but you didn't give us enough info to solve the problem. You never mentioned how long it took the snail to climb the 5m. That is why I could not help you.

Jet_Master, what math class was this from?
Oh! Damn!!! I could have sworn that i said in one hour the snail climbs 5 m and drops 3m.... D'oh!! And no-one ever posted asking me that question.You never mentioned how long it took the snail to climb the 5m. That is why I could not help you.
I wanted to give more time, but look back to page two, and you will see that commander was rushing too much. he had gone mad and was pestering me to give the answer.Sorry, but you didn't give us enough info to solve the problem.
This was not from any math class- this one was just from me. by the way, i am in grade 10.Jet_Master, what math class was this from?
I am the Alpha and the Omega!!!
go to this post --- here, I did mention that there was no time mentioned....read the posts more carefully next time.....Oh! Damn!!! I could have sworn that i said in one hour the snail climbs 5 m and drops 3m.... D'oh!! And no-one ever posted asking me that question.
this was your previous post:here, I did mention that there was no time mentioned....read the posts more carefully next time.....
when you said "assuming that the snail climbs 5m per hour..." i thought i already said it because you guessed it correctly. but i did not see that it was not mentioned; i also make mistakes you ass! i am human afterall. ........ happens. i apologized, what more do you want.assuming that the snail climbs 5m per hour (since it was not mentioned--i didn't c it)
I would say it's 10 pm

oh, and commander, next time try providing a direct link, instead of just to the first page of the thread.

ok, try this math problem.
*Note: If you get a terrible headache doing this, dont sue me. I will not force you to do this.*
You are driving a bus from point A to point K. When you start, you have 15 people aboard. At point B, 3 get off, 6 get on. At point C, 3 get off, 5 get on. At point D, 5 get off,1 gets off. At point E, 8 get off, 4 get on. At point F, 5 get on. At point G, 3 get off, 4 get on. At point H,3 get off, 9 get on. At point I, 2 get off. At point J, 3 get off. When you get to point K, what is the name of the driver?

that post was supposed to take you to the post I posted.....
shut up please. now leave that topic.
I am the Alpha and the Omega!!!
by the way, iforgot to post something....
it's not my fault that ur comp can't recognize anchors or you tried to scroll down b4 the browser had time to take yo to that anchor or you stopped the transfer or something else
here is one that i found quite trickey..
I hear that Bill Gates actually used this at a conference of about 200 programmers who were applying to Micro$oft.. only 3 got in or so
There are two rooms completly isolated from each other, there is no way you can see into the other room at all.... one room has 3 light switches and the other room has a light in it... it is your job to find out which of the 3 switches turns on the light in that room.....
you can only walk down to the other room (with the light) ONCE!! however, you can flip the switches as many times as you like for as long as you like.
anyone? if u know this dont post the answer just yet for those who do not know it!!!
-good luck!

Is that air you're breathing?
Walk to the other Room, turn on Switches 1 and 2, leave them on for a few minutes.
Turn off switch 1 off, and switch 3 on.
Walk back into the other room, reach up, touch the light. If it's off, switch 1 turns it on. If it's on and warm, switch 2 turns it on. If it's on and cold, switch 3 is the one.
Here's one for ya:
A guy walks into a 7-11 store and selects four items to buy. The clerk at the counter informs the gentleman that the total cost of the four items is $7.11. He was completely surprised that the cost was the same as the name of the store. The clerk informed the man that he simply multiplied the cost of each item and arrived at the total. The customer calmly informed the clerk that the items should be added and not multiplied. The clerk then added the items together and informed the customer that the total was still exactly $7.11.
What are the exact costs of each item?
for this question, does each item cost have to be in two decimal points (example: 1.45) or can it go beyond two (example: 1.4532623345)? I need to know that. because if it has to be two decimal points sharp, the closest total i could get was
sum: 7.11
product: 7.115724
but you said it has to be exact.

Yes, it has to be exact. (2 Decimal places) Hint: you can use programming for this
In the post below, I will be going off of the assumption that every item being sold can be expressed as some integer in terms of cents, ie you CANNOT have a fraction of a penny for a price of an item. If that is incorrect to assume so, please do tell me and ignore the post below.
I know that it might be possible to have fractional prices (in cents), such asIn any case, taht is what I assume, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, won't be the first time.Code:3 for $0.25
