My question:
There's some blood in the ceiling of your bedroom. Why?
Ana. :p :)
I've squished a muskito (i dont know how to spell this)
Then, I'm afraid you won't appreciate my question about blood in the ceiling. :(Quote:

But these questions are kind of jokes, and they're funny. Or they can be seen as fully logical problems... :)
ok musqito is this so?
Because Freddy Krueger came by and turned a character played by Johny Depp into a gruesome bloodmixture that splattered out against the ceiling?
That's the right way to go, but you'll have to explain the complete story. How did the blood arrived to your ceiling?. :)Quote:

It must've bit me. So I chased it. Finally it 'landed' on the ceiling, i grabbed the nearest chair... climbed on it... and squished coldblodedly the poor little thing!
Muaahahahahaha!
:mad: :mad: :mad:
joke :p
Yeees, that's right. Your turn now.Quote:

question:
A proud mother said:
'My son Jimmy was three years old two days ago and next year he'll be six.'
How is this possible (mother tells the truth)
Sons birthday: 31st of december.
Today: 1st of januar -- he was 3 two days ago, now he is 4. On the 31st of december this year he will be 5 and on 31st of december next year he will be 6.
correct! ;)Quote:

A grasshopper is 1 cm long and can jump 1 m high. How high could jump a grasshoper that were 1 m long?
It is just not fair. :rolleyes: I hurrying to get a good justification and even then I have typo's on all sides. I give up, you'll never see me here again.
Come on, Simon, don't say that. I experienced the same feeling yesterday when you posted while I was typing, but I resist and I'm still in here. ;) :)Quote:

Codeguru is going quite well again, I'm sure that now you'll win many, many points. :D
well if the jump is proportional to the size I suppose 100 meters.Quote:

Nope. The question is a bit tricky, you know.Quote:

is it 1 000 000 mm = 1km
no couldn't be...Quote:
Originally posted by SeventhStar

may be the answer is: There are no grasshoppers 1m long.
come to think of it it could also be:
length and height are not connected so
answer is 1m
but if only size changes not strengh it wouldn't move an inch.
so answer could be: 0 m
Well, if you neglect air resistance and biology and stuff:Quote:

A 100*bigger grasshopper has a (100)³ bigger volume. Suppose its energy-production/volume has remained constant, the grasshopper could provide (100)³ times more energy in his jump and thus jump 1000.000 m high.
Sorry, forgot something. However, it's mass has also increased by (100)³ so a 1m grasshopper can also jump 1m high.
well what's the answer and whose turn is it
oh and who gets the point :) ;) :D
Wrong assumptions. Think harder. :DQuote:

oops ;)
so
Gabriel are you saying that neither my answers were right nor Simon's?
1.99 m?
Simon's answer is indeed correct, but his argumentation is wrong.Quote:

I don't see why. Let me reformulate it (litterally :D):Quote:

Small grasshopper :
- E(produced for jump) = k * V1
- E(consumed by jump) = m1 * g * h1
Here are:
- k : energy production/volume, function of metabolism, presumed constant
- V1 : volume of small grass hopper
- m1 : mass of small grass hopper
- g : gravitational pull 9.81 m/s²
- h1 : height the small grass hopper can jump
Large grasshopper:
- E(produced for jump) = k * V2
- E(consumed by jump) = m2 * g * h2
Here are:
- k : still the same, doesn't change when upscaling
- V2 : volume of large grass hopper = (100)³ * V1
- m2 : mass of small grass hopper = (100)³ * m1
- h2 : height the large grass hopper can jump
Conservation of energy:
- k * V2 = m2 * g * h2
- k * (100)³ V1 = (100)³ m1 * g * h2
- h2 = k * V1 / (m1 * g) = h1
What's wrong with that?
My answer is that he would not jump at all as I have never seen a grasshopper that big !!!
I have never seen Xeon hopping in the grass either. And yes, I know a grass hopper is a bug. :D ;) :pQuote:

Ok, back to that grasshopper: muscular force is dependent on the section area, not on the muscular volume. Section area grows with the second power of the liniar dimension; mass with the third (as Simon correctly said). The question was not exactly a fair one, and the correct answer, if you want to take it strictly, is pretty complicated.
Assuming that the 1m grasshopper is built exactly like the small one (this assumption is implied in the question, or it wouldn't make sense), you have a 100 times smaller acceleration on a 100 times longer way that produces the lift-off speed.
I admit that it was not a very good question -- take a point from me or whatever. I thought I ask a question because it would have been the second time you had jumped my turn...
Ok, here we go. Simon, your turn, or whatever you guys decide. I go hide in the mountains...
Well, I don't know if muscular power is dependant on the area, it is probably not that simple.
Anyway, for the culture barbarians among us I have a nice 'lil story:
Chess, legend has it, originated in India. It is played on a board of 64 squares. A king called Sher Khan was so thrilled by the game that he ordered his army to find the inventor of the game. The inventor, a man called Buddhiram, was produced before the king - a simple-clad scholar who made his living by teaching.
"I wish to reward thee well for thy wonderful invention," the king greeted Buddhiram.
The scholar bowed
"I am rich and powerful enough, " the king continued, "to satisfy thy most cherished wish. Just name what thou would have and thou shall have it."
Buddhiram was silent.
...Yes but what has this got to do with viral marketing I hear you ask..patience young grasshopper, do read on...
"Don't be shy," the king encouraged him. "Say what thou would like to have. I shall spare nothing to satisfy thy wish."
"Thy kindness knows no bounds, O Sire," the scholar replied, "but first give me time to consider my reply. Tomorrow, after I have well thought about it, I shall tell thee my request."
The next day Buddhiram surprised the king with his extremely modest request.
"Sire," he said, "I would like to have one grain of rice for the first square of the chess board."
"A grain of ordinary rice?" the kings could hardly believe his ears.
"Yes sire, one for the first, two for the second, four for the third, eight for the fourth, sixteen for the fifth??."
"Enough," the king was irritated. "Thou shalt get thy grains for all the sixty-four squares of the chessboard as thou wishest; every day double the amount of the previous day. But know thou that thy request is unworthy of my generosity. By asking for such a trite reward, thou haste shown disrespect to me. Truly as a teacher thou could have shown a better example of respect for thy king's kindness. Go! My servants shall bring thee thy sack of grain."
Buddhiram smiled and went out, and then waited at the gate for his reward.
At dinner, the king remembered Buddhiram, and inquired whether the "foolhardy" inventor had been given his "niggardly" reward.
"Sire," the chief court mathematician said, "we have worked from morning to night to calculate the number of grains Buddhiram wants. It is tremendous indeed?.."
"However tremendous," the king interrupted him impatiently, "my granaries can easily stand it. The reward has been promised and must be paid!"
"It is not within thy power, O Sire, to satisfy Buddhiram's wish. Thy granaries do not hold the amount of grain Buddhiram has asked for. There is not that much grain in the whole kingdom; in fact in the whole world. And if thou must keep thy word, thou must order all the land in the world to be turned into rice fields, all the seas and oceans drained, all the ice and snow in the north melted. And if all this land is sown with rice, then perhaps there will be enough grain to give Buddhiram.
The king was awe-struck. "Name this giant number, " he said thoughtfully.
It is *** sire!" the mathematician said.
The question consists out of two parts:
1) Give the number masked by ***.
2) Give the shortest possible mathematic equation for this number.
18446744073709551615
sum(2^i, i=0..63).
Well, I can approve the first part, but the second can still a bit simpler. ;)Quote:

No question for me either :(
But I have one ;)

By the way I have a real nice question:
John has two sons and five horses. Nothing else. His will is:
"I bequeath to my bigger son 1/2 of my property, to my smaller son 1/3 of my property. The remaining part they should give to the first smart man they meet."
He only had five horses so after his death the sons started wondering how to split them in order not to injure the horses. They couldn't find a way! Until a smart man rode by and help them. How did he help them?
He gave them his horse.
Then with 6 horses:
1/2 = 3
1/3 = 2
and the smart man got his horse back...
:)
/Xplorer
yep! That's right! You win a point! Ask next question ;)
Ok, hmm let's see...
As this is a programming forum maybe this question will be too easy... :D
Anyway...
How can you swap the value of two integer variables without the help of a temporary third variable?
/Xplorer
template <calss T>
void swap(T& a, T&b) {
a+=b; b=a; a-=b;
}
but please no more programming questions!
You're wrong. After the second step, you have (a == b)! The result is taht in the last step (a == 0), whatever value b had at first, and (b == a+b)!Quote:

a^=b;
you're right...Quote:

i mixed up
this is correct:
a+=b; b=a-b; a-=b;
would't you loose some bits this wayQuote:
