Look at Jonny boy's answer for the "whats 7+ 7?" question under mathematics for a laugh! I guess he was trying to be smart and it blew up in his face!! :D\n\nDiscerning spellers like me will LOVE his answer!!

If a person spells the word "grammatically" then it IS correct.\n\nIf they spell the word "gramaticly", then it is not.\n\nIf they spell the word "gramatically", then it is not.\n\netc.\n\nThere is a common wordplay joke which is....."Why can't people correctly spell the word gramatically ?\n\nThe answer is, "because gramatically is spelt incorrectly".

Dear amit.wizkid, thou little knoweth what an abysmal error thou maketh.\n\ntut_einstein, you are better off noting that the sum of the first 'n' terms of an AP, whose first term is 'a' and the difference between terms is 'd' is :\n\nS = (n/2)[2a + (n-1)d]\n\nYou state that \nS1/S2 = (n+1)/(n+3)\n\nwhich is \n\n[2a1 + (n-1)d1] :[2a2 + (n-1)d2] = (n+1) : (n+3) ..... (I)\n\nRemember that what you desire to know is\n(a1 + 5d1) : (a2 + 5d2) \n\nPut n = 11 in (I)\n\n[2a1 + 10 d1] :[2a2 + 10 d2] = 12:14\n\nwhich gives\n\n[a1 + 5d1] : [a2 + 5d2] = 6:7\n\nwhich is what you desire. \n\nShould suffice.

I agree with ck, for some reason Math seems red.  Maybe because of all the red marks I see on the tests I get back! hahaha =D

He answered 13 correctly for 91 points ( 13 x 7 = 91 )\nHe answered 2 incorrectly for - 4 points\nHe omitted the remainder ( 5 ) for 0 points.\n91 - 4 = 87 points.

:D i think the person asking this question is not stupid, as most people here make him out to be, but rather is having fun, and seeing how far ppl will go to be picked :D ... anyways\nHere's my version of the proof, i'm going to do it in a step by step manner\n\nGiven: 5*5\nProof: the value is equvalent to 25\n\nStatement                |         Reason\n1)5*5                    |  1)Given\n2)=25                    |  2)Multiplicative Property of                      \n                         |     Arithmetic

12,000,198 microscopical creatures\n\nit's 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 17 x 7 x 6 x 7 = 12,000,198\n\nBy the way, why is this in Words and Wordplay not Math?\nAm I missing something?

hold on let me look at that for a minute....(dya hate math like this as much as i do?)\n\n(1,4) is one for sure\nyea thats' the only one!!!

I think you left something out. If it is the sum of you must have two things to add. If it is the sum of 7 AND a number it would be \n7+x

I think the contributions thus far have hit upon the reason, but I'm not sure it is all tied together.\n\nChoosing any two-digit number and subtracting its separate digits will yield 81 for any two-digit number that starts with 9, 72 for a choice of 8x (8x = 89, 88, 87, 86, to 80), 63 for a choice of 7x, and so on.\n\n9*9 = 81\n8*9 = 72\n7*9 = 63\n6*9 = 54\netc\n\nIf you look at the corresponding numbers for ALL of these choices you will see the same symbol! So no matter where you start you will always get this answer.\n\nAlso, the symbols change every few refreshes of the page. So when you "Try Again?" you will get a fresh symbol. If you look at them closely you will see this happen as you go back and play again and again.\n\nThis is a very slick game, and even tho I know how it works, I still think it's way kewl.\n\nlol

jf rodrigues is correct to add 65. The others are putting in parentheses where none appear in the problem. They end up subtracting 65 instead of adding, and are getting answers that are too low by 130.\n\nThe wrong answers are obtained by people subtracting and even multiplying(!) 65 when they should be adding it.

It's when you make mistake in addition. But I won't say the sum can't be put correctly but It can be made correct by changing the sign You could change the sign from + to - . Now can I have my ten points ? Please ???!

yeah, looks like the circle is just a 0, which would mean x^0 + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8.  It does look weird, though.

Working backwards from your conclusion, but following your logic, you have not joined 2 ones with 2 ones, but rather joined 2 tens with 2 ones.  However you have used the same symbol to represent both the 2 tens and the 2 ones, which is the flaw in your logic.\n\nIn mathematics means adding, not merely joining together, and the column placement of the inputs and the results cannot be disregarded.

The construction of negative numbers and rational numbers is much more complex than you think. So 3 over -1 is not an arithmetic operation and using the rules of abstract mathematics it can easily be seen it is true.

I was in your shoes once. My brain just doesn't work math the way I was taught it. Are you using the same teacher/tutor or do your teacher and tutor use the same style of teaching? Perhaps trying a new tutor, or getting someone else to work with you will help. I have noticed that not everyone's mind works in the same way. I struggled with math/algebra for years only to later in life have someone else explain it to me and it clicked right away. If someone can present it to you in a way your brain understands, perhaps it will make sense and you will start to do better.\n\nGood luck.

It all dependent on ho your look at the question, o asking the question. it is stander to belie that 2 + 2 = 4. if you take it out of perspective you could see that that 2 puls 2 =22

That's an extremely good question. \n\nThe answer is simple. Before that, i will explain what your question means to those who don't get. Well, it means that we must get 24 using 1,3,4 and 6 any number of times however involving operations +,-,* and / only once. \n\n  Then, the answer is very simple :\n\n  {[(6*6)/(3-1)]+[6]}  =  24\n\n---------------------------------------------------------\nWOKRING :\n\n {[(6*6)/(3-1)]+[6]}   =  {[(36)/(2)]+[6]}\n                       =  18 + 6\n                       =  24\n\n----------------------------------------------------------\n\nI hope you post more questions like these. They evoke a lot of thought. I hope the solution serves th purpose.
