Ninja's Puzzles!I have devised some of the most evil questions of all time, some math-related, which will appear over the course of a few days. Try to solve them.I have 1 question i'm sure NO-ONE will answer! I will allow minor hints also. (some are easier than others!)

Re: Ninja's Puzzles!3. What is the most common bird in the world? "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #5 2006-05-24 18:59:18

Re: Ninja's Puzzles!7. The little known man "Mr. Chicken" was the previous occupant of 10 Downing Street. Though no records have been uncovered about him, he was presumed to live at the goverment building before it was taken over by the English. His first name isn't known. Boy let me tell you what: I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too. And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. #17 2006-06-02 21:49:54

Re: Ninja's Puzzles!6. There are two H atoms for every one O atom in water, which is the majority of our body, but by atom weight, O wins, but by number of nuclei, H wins. 'Course I might be wrong...

Re: Ninja's Puzzles!Although water is the majority of the body there are a lot of other molecules which could make a difference. Sugars are made up from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. An alpha glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. Carbohydrates are long chains of sugar molecules. Amino acids (which make up proteins) contain an amino group - NH2, a carboxylic acid - COOH, a central carbon atom, an additional H, and an R group. The R group can consist of different amounts of C, H and other elements such as sulphur. Then there are lipids (fats) - triglycerides and phospholipids. A triglyceride consists of a glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acid molecules. The glycerol is C3H5(OH)3 and a fatty acid has a hydrocarbon chain and a COOH group. A phospholipid has a phosphate group instead of one of the fatty acids. Phospholipids make up the cell membrane. #20 2006-06-05 21:58:56
Re: Ninja's Puzzles!oh i'll just tell you. it's CALCIUM!! Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized. #21 2006-06-06 08:37:04

Re: Ninja's Puzzles!I think it depends on where you are going by mass, %, moles etc. There are so many different molecules in the body, that there is probably some dispute about which element is the most common. Personally, I would have gone for carbon, but that was a guess anyway. #23 2006-06-09 22:01:59
Re: Ninja's Puzzles!anyway the answer to #10 is the marshall islands goby. Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized. #24 2006-06-10 00:16:31
