Title: Fallout Shelter DX
Post by: Lizard Dude on July 07, 2003, 07:48:39 PM
You have three dice loaded so that the number 6 is n times as likely to come up as all of the other numbers individually. (That is, the respective individual odds of each of the 6 numbers coming up are 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, n for the faces 1-6 respectively.) Express in terms of n the probability that two of the three dice will show the same number while the third die shows a different number.

And remember folks: Math is #

(infinity)
E (1/(2^k))
k=1

f(x) = 1/x

g(x) = x2

f(g(.2)) = ?

Ok then:

The first problem is MY problem! You stole it from ME! (The answer is ... I have this written somewhere:)

(15x^2+15x+60)/((x+5)^3)

Next up, The 1000 problem. This sum is 500*1001, or 5,000,500. 5000500/50050 is... slightly less than 100. I think you intended for 100 to be the answer, though.

Next, 67 in base 29 is 29.

f(g(.2)) = f(.04)

1/.04 = 25.

f(g(.2)) = 25

Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

Insane Steve gets 3, but his order of magnitude is screwed up on the 1000 sum problem. (hint)

It takes Deezer 12 minutes to paddle his kayak downstream 6 miles, but 20 minutes to get back upstream. What is his average speed in still water?

I'm bad at math... always have been.
I'm trying to work on math now.

Ok then. The kayak is 15 minutes for 6 miles, or 24 mph in still water.

the first 1000 natural numbers... is 0 a natural number? If so: erm... wait. I put in an extra 0 there. The required sum is 500,500, and the answer is thus 10.

Bowser only tells the truth on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Which day of the week is it if Bowser says, "I told the truth yesterday?"


Besides this one, one question remains unanswered.

At 4:28 what is the degree measure of the bisected angle formed between the hour and minute hand?

HINT: It's the coolest number.

All wrong.


10 LET N=-1

20 M=N2+1

30 IF M>25, GO TO 60.

40 N=N+1

50 GO TO 20

60 PRINT M

70 END


What does M print as?


Three questions are out there.

Ok, the bisected angle, 17 degrees.
M prints as 26.
