Math Is Fun Forum

Hi mathscolor,

Welcome to the forum! I hope you have a good time here.

Ok, done. Thanks, phrontister.

Here’s the next one.

Question 6

The combined age of a man and his wife is six times the combined ages of their children.

Two years ago their united ages were ten times the combined ages of their children.

Six years hence their united ages will be three times the combined ages of the children.

How many children do they have?

I've seen an interesting trend. Most of my classmates use the latest apps and social networks (Discord, Insta, etc etc) but there's a growing population of people who have begun to quit them because they're 'getting too popular'!

It's as if the 'centralization' of the web will ultimately lead to its 'decentralization'.

Eh, people are complicated.

As for you're word, is there a 'T'?

Oopsies! I didn't think of it that way.

Then your brother, who's in the University of Edinburgh, is working on a mathematical fact checker?

That sounds really awesome.

Ok, got it.

Then the known values for AP will be at 135, 225 and 315.

I've got it now! Thanks for the help, Bob and Ganesh!

Here's another question. It's a bit different from the others. Flavours are the essence of life!

Question 5

Three teams of woodcutters have decided to organize a competition. The winner is the team who fells the maximum number of trees in the given time.

The first and third team together felled twice the number of trees felled by the second team.

The second and third team together felled three fold of the number of trees felled by the first team.

Who won? Or in the event of there being joint winners, who would then be named as such?

Hi Phil,

I'll say this in ganesh's style:

Welcome to the forum!

Good joke

Hi Bob,

That would be very kind of you.

I find most sources,  like textbooks,  to either ramble about really basic knowledge, OR to skip many parts in a bid to be faster.

Yes, it’s quite clear by reading the old posts that this very forum used to be a rather vibrant and lively place.

Take your time about the celebration…it’ll be worth it!

No ‘e’? Well, then, how about ‘a’?

I'd be worried if anyone remembered a word after that long, because that'd mean they had nothing better to do!

I'm looking forward to your celebratory post!

Is there an 'E' in your word?

Hi,

I'm not sure what the matter with the reply above is.

To read the post, consider click on Quote.

I wonder if there's a certain number of characters which the forum can allow in a single post?

The post was ok before, but I decided to put the image numbers in hide tags to facilitate scrolling, and then this happened.

Hi Mathegocart,

I remember adding a link to the website at the end of Post #1, but it seems to have disappeared. Thanks for mentioning it here!

Yes, a real life LOB would be incredibly impractical. I shouldn't be surprised if it doesn't fit in the area of Russia, with each building being the height of the Burj Khalifa.

All hail the Internet!
