Math Is Fun Forum

Because it would miss the ones that do not begin with 0.251...

But, then that cannot be relative to the ship. The ship's velocity relative to the ship is 0.

So, the ship is movong in the direction of the vector with the velocity equal to the intesity of the vector?

Hi

I'm getting 128 for the first one.

Also, look at post #52.

Bon appétit!

That code seems to be slightly incomplete, but fortunately, it does not change the answer.

Hm, how did M get that answer?

Hi phro

I'm not sure I got how the spreadsheet works, but, I don't think we have to count all of them.

The way I've tried going about doing this is looking only at all possible arrangements of pawns on squares of one colour. Note: you can put any number of each colour as long as the squares are all occupied. What can be done is we can calculate what the number of ways is to put k white and n/2-k pawns on, say, white squares. It would be easy to get the answer afterwards, and the numbers are bound to be smaller than counting all the possibilities up.

Hi bobbym

That seems the smallest so far.

Hi cooljackiec

Well, I asked you multiple times how you know the answer is not 32, without a respense.

Hi Isomorph

Welcome to the forum!

Okay, I will try it.

Hm, okay.

What are the problems from Elaina you mentioned? I have very much free time these days, so I am able to focus more on doing math.
