(1) Is 1298045602 a perfect square?

(2) Is 6719247 a prime number?

ganesh · 2006-09-21 02:15:35

(3) How many times would you have to write the number 6 when you write from 1 to 100?

(4) A bus contains 23 men and 14 women. In the first stop after the start, 11 men board and 2 women do. In the next stop, 6 men board and 3 women do. In the next, 2 men alight and 2 women do, but also 2 men board the bus and 2 women do. The question is, how many places did the bust stop from the start to the destination? (You are granted 20 seconds for this, as a special case!)

Devantè · 2006-09-21 02:26:07

Great to have you back, Ganesh.

1. No
2. No
3. 10? Unless it's a trick question
4. 3, not counting the start.

EDIT: Wait - I think number 4 was a trick question. You didn't specify that there was a destination - So I don't think there is way of knowing, without saying that the third stop was the destination.

Hi Devante, and thanks, a big thanks for the welcome back message.
Your answers 1, 2, and 4 are absolutely right. 3.....think again....how many times would you have to write the number 6 from 60 to 66 alone ?

Devantè · 2006-09-21 02:33:23

Oh...I see.

6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60, 66, 76, 86, 96.

I think that's all of them...

I think 11.

pi man · 2006-09-21 03:40:35

got to include all of the sixty's:

6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 76, 86, 96. That's 20 (there's two in 66).

espeon · 2006-09-21 03:48:38

is 3. 14 or 16?

espeon · 2006-09-21 03:49:56

o its 11

Devantè · 2006-09-21 04:44:26

Thanks pi man. I stand corrected.

See pi man's post, Espeon.

5) 64
6) 240°
7) 15
8) 12 (alternatively, 'a trillion (US)' contains no zeros)
9) 1, 3, 37, 111
10) 8

Devantè · 2006-09-22 02:39:59

5. 64
6. 240 degrees
7. 15
8. 12 - And in the UK it is 18.
9. 1, 3, 37, 111
10. 8

I'll check my answers when I have time, I'm pretty sure one of my answers doesn't look right.

Devantè · 2006-09-25 02:06:32

I'll count the nanosecond noughts afterwards.

ganesh · 2006-09-27 18:57:35

Excellent, all of you, Devante', jl, espeon.

16. How many prime numbers are there from 1 to 100?

17. How many numbers, including 7, are divisible by 7 from 1 to 100?

Devantè · 2006-09-28 04:42:41

16. 25, obviously not counting 1.

17. 14? This is probably like the one with the sixes.

Devantè · 2006-09-28 04:44:29

I read justlookingforthemoment's answers after Ganesh told us that we were correct (and Espeon).

It's e not e!.

espeon · 2006-09-28 05:28:13

yay?

Devantè · 2006-09-28 06:04:23

Remember that a nanosecond is extremely small. It is a big number, but it an extremely small unit of time.

Yeah, I knew someone would write that, because I wrote it in a maths project once.

Something like, 'And that shows that the height of the cube is x!'

Devantè · 2006-09-29 01:19:10

I also did something like that. Never put emotion into your math - The teacher doesn't look upon it very kindly.
