Title: Basic Math Question
Post by: bluefirecorp on June 01, 2014, 01:06:09 PM
Due to someone asking for math homework, I was shocked at the amount of incorrect answers.

I'm curious here how 'skilled' at basic math a lot of people are here.

Please don't share answers in the posts below, I'm actually trying to see how 'smart' some people think they are.

are you serious???? This is too easy ... let me find better example to check our math basics :) ... just give me a minute ;]

better example to check for math newbies :D :) :
41+(5+5)-70+(33+2)2*2=

Just because something is easy for you doesn't mean it's easy for others.

I am pretty sure this example was too easy ...

:) it was like for 9 years old kid ...
We are bitcoiners :) Give us something harder!

I HAVE SOMETHING ONLY FOR ELITE! :

Find the right 'x'.

x= z*y+v
z = sqrt(845+0.121)*33)
y = 2*sqrt [( sqrt(9768/1) * 4/sqrt(9768/1) )]
v = 2560

The answer will make you feel much better :)

4+10-1+(1089+2*33*2+4)*2=
13+2442=2455


and why it is that?
(33+2)2     =    1225 :)
sqr(33+2) = 1225 no doubt.
4+10-1+2450 = x  :)



Title: Re: Basic Math Question

4+10-1+(1089+2*33*2+4)*2=
13+2442=2455


4 + 10 - 1 + 35 * 35 * 2 = 2463

35 * 35 = 1225
1225 * 2 = 2450
2450+10+3=2463

P.S. 1089+2*33*2+4 = 1225


Title: Re: Basic Math Question

Because it's a binome (dunno the English word for it).

(a+b)2=a2+2*a*b+b2

(33+2) * (33+2) = 1225

nothing will change that.

If it was 352, then you would be right.

:) Please :) Count it again and tell me is the right answer was 2463? :)

Crap :)
The school system has destroyed my brain. I'm handicapped without a calculator.

That reminds me of another one, just as "easy" but sort of complicated in length (was 6th grade during some fun lesson by math teacher).

Replace every letter by a cipher so it becomes valid:


  SEND

______
MONEY


 ;) ??? ;D

You only have to use the binomial formula when there is a variable in it. Sure, it also works with numbers, but it is unnecessary work. The answer is 2463.

Neat, looks like 1 person missed it. I wonder who it was. Come on -- come out and admit it.  :P

I was the second person to get it wrong.

I used to be very good at maths but I honestly have no idea how to do this, even after seeing the correct answer.

Use it or lose it I guess :/

Three people actually missed this question. Wow. I have a feeling a scammer could make a fool of at least 3 people here ;)

The correct answer is "15"

Now if someone can please explain to me how to calculate the hash of the next block in my head.

I gave it shot and arrived at 15 to be the right answer though i am the perfect mathematician.

better example to check for math newbies :D :) :
41+(5+5)-70+(33+2)2*2=

41+(5+5)-70+(33+2)2*2 = 4 + 10 - 1 + 352 * 2 = 13 + 1225 * 2 = 13 + 2450 = 2463
I didn't need a calculator for this one ;)


I HAVE SOMETHING ONLY FOR ELITE! :

Find the right 'x'.

x= z*y+v
z = sqrt(845+0.121)*33)
y = 2*sqrt [( sqrt(9768/1) * 4/sqrt(9768/1) )]
v = 2560

The answer will make you feel much better :)

z = sqrt(845+0.121)*33) = sqrt(845.121*33) = sqrt(27888.993) =~167
y = 2*sqrt [( sqrt(9768/1) * 4/sqrt(9768/1) )] = 2*sqrt [( sqrt(9768) * 4/sqrt(9768))] = 2*sqrt [4] = 2 * 2 = 4
v = 2560 = 1

x = z*y+v = 167 * 4 + 1 = 669

Didn't need a calculator for this one either.

15 is my guess.
