Tweaked for your Pleasure

Two days ago, quite early in the morning I got a message from Wild Cat on MSN quoting the exact following:

so are you doing some article about maths, maybe a puzzle for your adoring public?

Now, I am going to look like an idiot but I actually thought that Wild Cat meant about the hidden area on my portfolio website so I replied with cba and then got this reply. However I then learnt what Wild Cat was talking about World Math’s Day. Now rather then explaining what this day is about, just click – World Maths Day 2010.  Read more...

Right, today post is gonna be a “simple” maths question. The person who guesses the answer right first will be getting a prize and the person that can explain why so, will get a better prize

I am giving 48 hours for this. I can rest you asure that if you look over it and think, you will see the answer. If you can’t work it out, don’t worry, alot of people can’t Well done for clicking the Hebrew link, the answer is here

Going first in this game gives you an advantage., that is the key part.

P(A) != 0.5

So, in this answer, lets  p be the probability of winning if you go first.

That is the same as 1/6 + 5/6 * probability of losing if you go first, since there’s 1/6 chance you win first time, and 5/6 the game continues starting with the opponent’s turn

p = 1/6 + 5/6 * (1-p)

Which goes down to p = 6/11

So P(A) = 5/11 (since Kyle goes second)

So the answer is ( 5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 * 1/6 ) / (5/11), which is exactly two Seventy Five / Twelve ninety six or roughly about 21.1%  Read more... (282 words, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)

The information within this page shouldn’t be used as research as it is all from memory. Arabic language pack might be needed if you are reading this.

Welcome men, womens and children alike to what the bookies are saying to be a number one fight of the year. In this fight, we have Arabic on the right hand side and Latin on the left hand side.

Without further adue, lets bring them on.

Todays fight is which is better using maths. So, lets start the fight – Which is better at maths, Arabic or Latin (Roman Numerals).

While it is birthday today, I have no plans on coming online and post a blog post so I have posted this in advance. Today, is not going to be anything wacky but just some simple things you may not know about mathemactics.  Read more... (435 words, estimated 1:44 mins reading time)

Many, many years ago, I can still remember my Math’s teacher will always debate with my Science teacher about who field of expertise is the more pure.

Even to now, I have always sided that maths is the more pure (You can tell what I am best at can’t ya ). Anyway, below is a little comic that shows what I mean. (Click it to make it bigger).

This comic comes from xkcd. This comic may also have a different licence for use then Snat.co.uk.

Ingore this post as it is mearly making sure that I can post math stuff easily – It is needed for other pages

Basically, if you see an image below, it worked.
