After one more Draw in 4th game, Anand has Smashed Kramnik in games 5 and 6 with Black and White pieces in 35 and 47 moves respectively!!
Final score is 4.5 to 1.5!
Will Anand make it Flawless??
Is it all over for Kramnik or are we gonna see him as next Bobby Fischer soon??
Next match, Round 7, on 23rd October 2008.

Another way to state that is..
No. of 5's in 2008! is
[2008/5]+[2008/5^2]+[2008/5^3].... where [..] is a Greatest Integer function.

Will he make it??

#564 Re: Exercises » get the exact values for (A+B+C+D) » 2008-08-17 20:26:01
If we take that A, B, C and D CANNOT take values of 5, 4 and 3 then we get (A, C) = (1, 2) or (2, 1) ; B=9 and D=1
Hence, A+B+C+D=13 !!

There's one more minute thing i've found.. The number of 2s in (2^n)! is 2^n - 1.
But i don't see how to use it...
#570 Re: Puzzles and Games » Find all pairs » 2008-08-13 02:38:17
Oh! I forgot to state that x & y should be even except when one of them is 1 !! 
#571 Re: Puzzles and Games » Find all pairs » 2008-08-13 01:35:09
What I have found out is that x and y should both be even numbers!
I'm working it out further though.. I guess it also makes use of "all powers of a given prime number in x!". I guess, if we can equate the powers of 2 (as both x and y are even) in LHS and RHS, we're done!

Aah! Got it!
When running towards the thief, the relative speed of dog is 60-40=20 kmph and when running back towards the police, the relative speed is 60+50=110 kmph!
Now, the total distance travelled by dog i.e. 720 km is travelled with two speeds of 20 kmph and 110 kmph in 12 hrs! Let x be the time for which he runs in the thieves direction!
Hence, 110(12-x)+20x=720
x=20/3
Therefore, distance travelled in the direction of thief is 60*20/3=400 km !!
