Imagine that you are the owner of the private plane and invite 3 of your friends for all 4 of you to visit Los Angeles from Dallas
(joee, shut up, I know that you think you know the answer! ;-)

Friend number one is female, 34 years old,

Friend number 2 is male 43 years old

Friend number 3 is female 29 years old.

On the way to LA, you made stop in
Salt Lake City, spent 50 minutes there,
filled gas tank with 156 gallons of 96 Octain fuel.

Question of the Day:

HOW OLD IS A PILOT???
Serge

anybody know how to view ALL of the domains of a particular domain registrant??

The NAME function at NETSOL aborts at 10 results.

Monk

ok, here goes the hardest one of them all.

gimme 3 mins
Serge

Very true Serge!!! Plus, I bought my water wholesale from a friend in the water district....Sabby probably paid retail for her water.


JMM (Oprano's Resident Satirist)

Cleo, and how many gallons have you wasted in the process?
;-)))
Serge

Sabby,
JMM came with it FIRST and his solution is better, probably because he is Jewish!
;-))

he hasn't wasted ONE DROP, while you pissed away 6 gallons!!!!
;-)))

if we were measuring sneake's poison, those 6 gallons could be worth somewhere around 7.2 BILLION dollars!
;-)))
Serge

Fill up the ten gallon jug 3 times using the 3 gallon jug and then pour the 10 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug twice after the second time use the 5 gallon jug to fill the 3 gallon jug. There will be on gallon left in the 5 gallon jug.

Cleo (to know me is to love me...)

Jeff, your a weiner.

Sabby:)
Sabrina

fill the ten gallon barrel and empty it into the 3 gallon barrel 3 times, you will have exactly 1 gallon left over.

I only used 2 barrels though.

Sabby:)
Sabrina

Fill the 3 gallon barrel full of water.

Pour it into the 5 gallon barrel.

Fill the 3 gallon barrel full of water again.

Pour the 3 gallon barrel into the 5 gallon barrel until the 5 gallon barrel is full, there is now 1 gallon remaining in the 3 gallon barrel.


JMM (Oprano's Resident Satirist)

ok, here is another one...

you have 3 empty barrels:
3 gallons, 5 gallons and 10 gallons...

question:
how can you measure EXACTLY
ONE GALLON
using only those 3 barrels?
Serge

Allright Serge, I wont ask again until next Saturday!


JMM (Oprano's Resident Satirist)

Fuck I'm stupid.

Make that 12 minutes and 48 minutes, not 12.5 and 47.5

ALthough I suppose randomness could have an effect also.

Monk

Monk wins the train question.

That is the right answer.


JMM (Oprano's Resident Satirist)

Sabby, we know that already...
the question is HOW was it possible if the same number of trains were going in the both directions and the train to Brooklyn was followed by train to Bronx and vice versa????

ah??
ah???

the winner of this one will be revealed the area code number of confucA's phone
;-)))
Serge

ok, I think my first answer was valid given the facts you gave re: the trains.

Now, I think it has something to do with the timing of the trains... they are not evenly spaced out.... so your chances of catching one train are greater.
Suppose the Brookly train came once every hour, at the top of the hour. The Bronx train comes once an hour at 12.5 minutes past the hour..... then he would only have a 12.5 minute window to catch the Bronx train but would have 47.5 minute window to catch the other.

Monk

in a 30 day month he hit the brooklyn train 24 times and the bronx train 6 times

Sabby:)

what is your take on the Train question?
;-)
Serge

8 days?

lol

Separate coins into 3 piles

Group A B C
000 000 000

Weight group A against B. If they balance, the counterfeit is in group C. Take two of the coins in C and measure against each other. If they balance it is the other coin from C.

Nevermind, just saw JMM got it when i was working on it.

Colin

The answer is 3.
Colin
*******************

hahahhaha,
yes, but only if you have 15! coins to measure
;-))
Serge

But, mine you may get lucky and get it on the first measurement.

what's the answer, serge?


Wig
****************

Wig, 2 is correct answer and as far "getting lucky",
why do you think I put Meni in that category?

he is the only one I know who gets lucky on the regular basis
;-)))
Serge

The answer is 3.
Colin

Brooklyn train comes by more often than Bronx train

:o)

Monk
********************

warmer,
but...NO, the same number of trains go each way and for every train to brooklyn there is a train to bronx coming next,
but...you are on the right track, pun intended

Then it was all worth it Serge!

Wig

What do I win?


JMM
******************

you win 9 pounds worth of my admiration!!!

CORRECT!

2 measurements only!
;-))
Serge

JMM, touche. I think yours is better. But, mine you may get lucky and get it on the first measurement.

what's the answer, serge?


Wig

Well, I see that I didnt actually answer the question, I just explained how it is done..

The answer to the question is TWO.

1. Measuring the initial two piles.
2. Measuring two of the coins from the pile that you know contains the fake.


So, what do I win?
JMM (Oprano's Resident Satirist)

I can see the difference now...

I have been up all night...

Maybe its time for some rest :)
evertheory Advanced Web Media - Professional Web Development

nice one Jeff sweetie!

Sabby:)
Sabrina

If you measure 4 and 4 and they are the same, the odd one out is the fake.

If the 4 and 4 are different, split the lighter 4 into 2 and 2... then 1 and 1.

maybe you get it in one shot, but worst case 3.


Wig

I thought the question was the LEAST amount of times.

Am I missing something here? :)
evertheory Advanced Web Media - Professional Web Development

JMM will be the first to solve it and here it is:

You have 9 gold coins, divide them into 3 piles of 3 coins each.

Put two of the piles on the scale, one on each side. If those two piles balance out, then remove them from the scale and set them aside. The fake one is not in either of those piles.

Now take the third pile and place two coins from it on the scale, one on each side. If they balance, the third coin from that pile is the fake. If they dont balance, well then you know which one is the fake, it will be the lighter one.

If the initial two piles that you weigh dont balance, take the lighter pile and measure it as explained above.

What do I win?


JMM (Oprano's Resident Satirist)

it made sense to me anyway.

LOL

Sabby:)
Sabrina

Brooklyn train comes by more often than Bronx train

:o)

Monk

measure all 9 at once, then you can figure out what each one should weigh.

then measure 5 of those, and you will figure out which group the fake one is on.

then from the group the fake one is in, you split those in half and measure those.

anyway, the answer should be 4 i think?

Sabby:)
Sabrina

Measure 4 and 4
Wig

Nine, I'm a very thorough person.

Cleo_LinkUP (CarpetmunchingGuru)

"COLD, VERY cold... "



Ha!

At least its an option! :)
evertheory Advanced Web Media - Professional Web Development

here is the easier one:

you have 9 gold coins and you know that one of them is fake and weighs lighter than the others.

what's the least amount of measurements one should make using scales only to find the fake one?


Well, wouldnt that be 2?

I mean, you weigh the first one and it weighs an ounce.

You weigh the second and it weighs less than an ounce.

Or....vice versa


evertheory Advanced Web Media - Professional Web Development

Actually Serge,

Maybe his father was the subway driver or a teacher or something.

Im really not sure.

Eric, after you are done with this one,
I have another one for you,
and this was on the test list for Microsoft job applicants.

Columbia University student after school took subway.
He had father living in Brooklyn and mother living in Bronx
(2 opposite directions)
he didn't care with whom he spent the night, so he took the first train which was coming to the station.

at the end of the month he found that he spent 4 times more time with father than his mother.

HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE???

Cleo, shhh...you know the answer, no cheating!

Serge

Meni,

Im not sure if you are a part of http://www.plasticfantasy.com/, but in IE 6.0 under Windows XP Pro, things seem out of wack.

You need to get rid of that border on the center slice.

Simply add border="0" to the img tag on line 28 and line 29.

That should line things up.

Anytime you are linking images that are fit tightly in a table, make sure they have border="0"

Hi Serge,

Nope, I have never owned an adult website.

Well, when I first got into the adult biz in 99, I spent $2500.00 to have a website built.

The design firm turned out some cheap design and happily told me to screw off. (I think I sold that design for $100.00 a year later)

Thats when I decided to start designing for myself.

I ran a couple free sites that made me maybe a total of $100.00

I gave those up long ago and have been developing ever since :)

Cya,


Eric
