empty = full Now I am wondering how the heck I ever flunked maths? (Still, I understand how a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time....)

Women = time * money I disagree with this statement.

No, it is times. The more time I spend with women, the more money I spend. Twice the time, or twice the women, means twice the money.

I also disagree with: What the Bible actually says is the LOVE OF money is the root of all evil. You can have bags of money and not be evil. I would love a chance to prove this.

A Fruitbat sets off east from Perth at the average speed fruitbats fly at. Another Fruitbat sets off west from Brisbane, but there's a twist. This Fruitbat has hitched a ride on a Harley.

Part I. What digit is the most frequent between the numbers 1 and 1,000 (inclusive)? To solve this riddle you don't want to manually do all of the math but rather try to figure out a pattern. Answer to Riddle The most common digit is '1.' Can you figure out why? No hints until you try the next riddle because the next riddle is closely tied to this one. Part II. What digit is the least frequent between the numbers 1 and 1,000? Answer to Riddle 0 is the least common digit even though 1,000 has three zero's ! Explanations for both riddles The digits 0 through 9 all follow the same pattern there is exactly 1 occurrence of each digit for every ten numbers. •For instance the digit 2 appears once between 10 and 19, at 12. And 2 appears once between, 30 and 39 at 32. •However, each of the digits 1 through 9 also appear in other numbers in the tens and hundreds place Again, let's look at 2 which appears in 20,21,22, 23, etc.. as well as 200,201, 202,203.. So to figure out how to answer the first riddle you had to see what distinguishes the number 1? Only that we are including 1,000 which would be the first '1' in a new series of ten! In other words, the digit 1 only has a single extra occurrence (301 occurrences) compared to 2 or 3 or 9 which each have exactly 300 occurrences. The reason that zero has the least (BY FAR at only 192 occurrences) is because zero does not have any equivalents to 22, 33, 44, 222, 3333 etc.. rOZZ Music Pictures ID: 1461102 · |

At which pub do they meet at? Looks like a great place for a drink, wonder how they got the truck on the roof? Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club.

And you can pick any 1 of 4 Ettamogah Pubs to drink at (or all 4 if you wish, I've been to the 1st 2). Cheers. ID: 1461405 · |

Rob, there are a whole bunch of correct answers to 2 + 2 = 11 and 2 + 2 = 10 if you assign different bases to each number. I just jumped into this thread, so forgive me for being behind on it. Anyway, I read the page at the above link once with my eyes glossed over. Then I read it again actually awake and decided I knew the answer. Then I read it again to make sure before I clicked a link. I was right! I didn't know I was that smart. Now, I just need to remember to come back to the thread later and start with Angela's post on Jan. 2.
