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?
