DrLazDevitan:
PRE-TEST QUESTION: If Fela Anikulakpo Kuti were to run for the presidency,what party would or should vouched him success?

Rules:

After the pre-test comes the extra-test test.

This is the question proposed by my Boss Omat20.

Question expires at 12.00p.m tomorrow just as the other one.

Ans...Movement Of The People....
Ur question has 2 problem...first, dead people don't do politics..second, u didn't specify if it was back then in his time or at present...

Answer of the question : Movement Of The people.

Goodafternoon guys,it is time we gave answers to the pre-test and see who and who is up to the extra-test.

Formerly,


Answer to PRE-TEST QUE(1) is 37degree North-west.


Answer to PRE-Test(2) is no chelsea player or an impossibility.It is logical to know that any player you know right now from any established form of recording,could be from Wikipedia or any sport blog or magazine.It is so impossible to know a player that has not being in record for such a club especially if we assume you are an African or Nigerian.

Thus,nobody won the pre-test on those two questions.

Presently,
This question is also logical,being in the subjunctive mood does not require being alive or not.Although,a dead men can't be a president.Notwithstanding,Fela indeed was intending to rule the country with his own party,MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE(MOP).

Answer is M.O.P

DrLazDevitan:
Answer to PRE-TEST QUE(1) is 37degree North-west.

how is it 37degree north-west?

Explain??

I got 32degress for my angle and the direction as (90-32)= 58degree North-West

ok will be watching

Goodevening guys,

The Extra-test has just began,and will require a minimum of 15minutes.

We are expecting a winner and should be the one with the right answer within the time given.

QUESTION: Ngozi created a sequence of five numbers.She chose a number for the first term and got each successive term by using the following rule:alternatively add 6 to the preceding term and double the preceding.The second term of Ngozi's sequence was 6 more than the first,the third term was double the second,the fourth term was 6 more then the third,and the fifth term was double the fourth.If the fifth number was 1996,what number did Ngozi chose for the first term.
Show working!

Is d answer wrong or right..before i waste my time to show workings..

T1= x
T2= x + 6
T3= (x + 6)2
T4= (x + 6)2 + 6
T5= (x + 6)2 + 6)2 =1996

(x + 6)2 + 6)2=1996
4x + 36=1996
4x= 1996 - 36
x=1960/4
x=490

You can now start!

T1=x
T2=6+T1
T3=2 × T2
T4=6+T3
T5=2× T4
1996=2[6+2(6+x)]
1996=2(6+ 12+ 2x)
1996=36+4x
1996-36=4x
1960=4x
x=1960/4
x=490
Hence 490 is d first term.

Am I also eligible to slove d question

Bosses in d house...please can some1 help me wif dis....what is d double factorial of 13??

halton:
Bosses in d house...please can some1 help me wif dis....what is d double factorial of 13??

2(13!)... The answer is more than 10digits

Kentnickole:


2(13!)... The answer is more than 10digits

It's not. What he means is 13!!

A gues tho... 13!x12!x..............x1

halton:
Bosses in d house...please can some1 help me wif dis....what is d double factorial of 13??

The mathematical meaning of that statement is "!! x 13", is that actually what you mean?

factorial1:
The mathematical meaning of that statement is "!! x 13", is that actually what you mean?

I tink it is dis... 13!!

halton:

I tink it is dis... 13!!

If that's the case, one cannot calculate the answer using calculator... cause the digits are more than 10(in standard form) but the meaning of that (13!!) 13! x ans!
