CHALLENGING NUMEERICAL MENTAL CONNECTIONS

This was givin to me in physics, it was like a game kinda thing instead of doing serious work. I liked it, see how many you guys can get and Ill fill in the gaps.

Each item that follows contains the initials of words that make the equation correct. You need to retrieve information that you have learned and make the connections. Here is an example: 212 = DF in which WB (Degrees Fahrenheit at which water boils)… at sea level of course. Another example: 90 = D in an RA (degrees in a right angle).

1090 = S of S in FPS ------ 98.6 = NBT in DF
5280 = F in a M ------ 4 = C of a MH
100 = DC at which WB ----- 14.7 = AP in PPSI
453.6 = G in a P ---- 0.6 = M in a K
120/90 = SBP/DBP ---- 2.54 = C in an I
62.4 = D of W in PPCF --- 2.2 = P in a K
13.6 = SG of M --- 0.9 = D of I in GPCC
7 = PC in L --- 0 = DC at which WF
6.02 x 10^23 = AN --- 1 = DW in GPCC
0-17 = BS (to I ws) --- 76 = NAP in C of M
-273 = AZ in DC --- 30 = NAP in I of M
1-10 = MS of H --- 34 = NAP in F of W
F0-F6 = F and PTS --- 20% = OC of A
78% = NC of A --- 37 = NBT in DC
20-20,000 = H or VPS (nhrmp) --- 86,000 = S of
7 = WDD --- L (IMPS)


Burning Rope

There are two lengths of rope. Each one can burn in exactly one hour. They are not necessarily of the same length or width as each other. They are also not of uniform width (may be wider in the middle then on the end), thus burning half of the rope is not necessarily 1/2 hour.

By burning the ropes, how do you measure exactly 45 minutes worth of time ??

A quick test of intelligence

Don’t cheat! Because if you did, the test would be no fun. I promise there are no tricks to the test. Read the Sentence below and count the F’s in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE. Do not go back and count them again.

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Farmers Problem

A farmer is standing on one side of the river and with him are a wolf, a goat and a box with cabbages. In the river there is a small boat. The farmer wants to cross the river with all the three items that are with him. There are no bridges and in the boat is only enough room for the farmer and one item. But if he leaves the goat with the cabbages alone on one side of the river the goat will eat the cabbages. If he leaves the wolf and the goat on one side the wolf will eat the goat. Only the farmer can separate the wolf from the goat and the goat from the cabbage.

How can the farmer cross the river with all three items, without one eating the other?

LOST

You are lost in a forest. The forest is between two villages. In village A live only liars, they always lie. In village B people always tell the truth. You want to go to village B. Then you see a man from village A or B. You can ask him only one question.

Which question will you ask him to know for sure where village B is??

Meat Purchase

A butcher goes to the market with $100 cash. He has to buy exactly 100 animals. There are cows, geese and chickens for sale. A cow costs $15, a goose is 1$ and a chicken costs $0.25. He has to buy at least one of each item and has to spend all his money.

What does the butcher buy?

Don’t hang yourself

A fool wants to tie a rope around the earth. So he buys a rope of 40,000KM and ties it around the world. His neighbor, also a fool, wants to do the same only he wants the rope on sticks 1 meter above the ground.

How much rope does he need?
And how much more rope do you need when you use a tennis ball instead of the earth?

I had to seperate them buy ----'s because the internets retarded and wouldnt keep my spaceing.

[palmboy5]

i have NO IDEA about the first part XD the numbers they equal ring no bells...

100 = DC at which WB ----- 14.7 = AP in PPSI

100 Degrees Celcius at which Water Boils, .. , .. eh.

Shit, man, I don't know! I'm tempted to ask Google but then it would be no fun.

Which question will you ask him to know for sure where village B is??

I would think that you could ask him if *that* way is to village B. If he's a lair from village A, he'll say that it's village A if it's village B or village B if it's village A.

Wait, shit, I just lost my logic, I don't know.

LOL that was one of his examples

I would think that you could ask him if *that* way is to village B. If he's a lair from village A, he'll say that it's village A if it's village B or village B if it's village A.

same here.

friend says:
start burning one at both ends and one end of the other rope at the same time.

when the doubled ended is burned out, start burning the other end of the second rope and wait for it to burn out.

Well, I would think you find somone, hmmmm, lets say with a hat on. Ask the man if he has a hat on. If he tells the truth and says "yes" then your in village B, if he lies and says "no" then you know your in village A.

I heard a different variation of that. You come to a town split in half, east side and west side. East side people tell the truth and west side lie but the people from both side intermingle on eachothers side. YTou need to know what side of town you are right now. How would you find out?

[palmboy5]

You are lost in a forest. The forest is between two villages. you're not in the villiage

Yep, your right.

nevermind

[neuralmop]

I just google'd for the answers to all of these, except for the first question. I have now regained my ability to sleep.

[palmboy5]

Yep, your right.

nevermind

no urs is fine, just change it to u pointing in some random direction and asking. its risky but who the hell cares

[Guest]

whats the boiling point of sperm

[palmboy5]

i think it would depend greatly on the source

I could ask about anything like is there a tree there, are you standing, etc.... and that will tell if they lie or tell the truth. It still doesn't tell me which town is "A" and which is "B", having only one question to ask.

[palmboy5]

well currently i cant get my solution to work anymore
