lol, I didn't notice the links were in white until you said that, took me about 3 seconds after I read that to figure it out

Apparently everyone thinks its impossible... Well, it's not, and I shall show you.
$3.16 $1.20 $1.25 $1.50 seem to work out to $7.11

There are many ways to do it... I used the now non-existant program.
This is my signature. Remind me to change it.
Lets not forget that these are prices. Prices of actual items, like bananas, apples, pears or slaves.all numbers are null set. In math, null set doesn't equal zero, it means no real numbers. Therefore, I say all four values are null set
I don't know about you, but i've never saw something priced null.
That program is similar to the other which I used... however different. Anyone else have any brainteasers?
You have a bag that contains two balls, each of which is either red or blue with equal probability. You add two balls, one red and one blue, and then draw out a ball and notice it is blue. Then you draw another ball. What is the probability that you will be fired for wasting your time on stupid puzzles like this when you should be working?
Zero, as I do this during school
This is my signature. Remind me to change it.
I know this is a bit late... igot delayed...
i did not say that one of the values is 2. i said that one ofthe values is around half of 7.11 .and, no it was not a random number. i did some calculations to get that results although it does seem illogical to me...Now, for Jet_Master: where did you come up with the fact that one of the values is 2? Is that a random guess?
anyway, i madea program to test the results of the four values. and dual_catfish's values were indeed exactly correct!!
way to go man!!!

unregistered, this problem is kinda like the one i posted in page 3 of this thread.You have a bag that contains two balls, each of which is either red or blue with equal probability. You add two balls, one red and one blue, and then draw out a ball and notice it is blue. Then you draw another ball. What is the probability that you will be fired for wasting your time on stupid puzzles like this when you should be working?
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?
and guess what...
I STILL FELL FOR IT !!!!!
WHAT AN IDIOT!!! (i indicate myself)
i said "(i indicate myself)" so that no-one takes offense to it. i seem to have gained a reputation of being a very rude and offensive person. that is not correct and i apologize for ever offending anyone because i didn't mean to.

OK!!! i have another question... this might be kinda hard...
if anyone has heard this before, please dont reveal the answer. some of us might like to think hard over it...
you have 6 matchsticks. 4 full ones and 2 brocken ones. the brocken ones are brocken into equal halves. that means that you have 4 full and four half matchsticks.
your aim is to make 3 equal size squares (only). ie.Code:| | | | | | | | | | | |
the matchsticks (and squares) can be touching each other but there should only be 3 equal squares. no more or no less. and there should also not be any protruding stick extra left.
ask any doubts or clarifications to me.
good luck!

Break the remaining full matches, and it is easy.
I don't think ur allowed to break em!
Can I make three congruent rectangles instead? That would be a little easier.

I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.
Windows XP consists of 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
no, you are NOT allowed to break any sticks.Break the remaining full matches, and it is easy.
no, you have to make 3 equal squares.Can I make three congruent rectangles instead?
i wanted that, not for my own reasons, but so that others might get some time to think it over. some people might like that. but if you want to reveal it, by all means, go ahead...The whole point is to reveal the answer before others, the inconvenient realities of life permitting!

Does it have to be an equal square? (all sides same length?)Code:___ | | |___|
or can it be like this:
Code:____ | | | | |____|

a square has to have four equal sides. if the sides are not equal, it wont be a square, it will be a rectangle.Does it have to be an equal square? (all sides same length?)
eachside has to be same length and each square has to be same size.
