Sorry for disturbing you guys again.

I have a few questions for you. shocked shocked
No need to recoil in horror. cheesy they are just eight in number and there is no dead line. Besides, I think you will enjoy answering them. smiley


1. What is your favourite textbook? (Please add the author if you can)

2. Who are your top five Real scientists?

3. Who are your top five fictional scientists?

4. what objects do you consider as your top five best inventions?

5. What is your best moment in science?

6. What is your worst moment?

7. What award(s) do you crave most in science?

8. What thing(s) have you thought of inventing . . . but couldn't, only for you to find out that an oyinbo has invented it? grin


Lemme mention. grin

Hi guys! I want you guys to help me with a li2 probability question. The question goes thus: if we are to choose two person from 4 boys nd 5 girls. What is the probability of choosing a girl?

chai embarassed embarassed and this is my weak point. Anyways, sha. Lemme try.


Add the whole thing. You get 9 people.

The next logical course of action would be to divide the number of girls on the team by the number above. Getting 5/9 which would be your final answer.

1. Inventors and Inventions... not a textbook tho

2. I. Darwin
II. Einstein
III. Newton
IV. Marie Curie
V. Georgi Mendel

3. I. Reed Richards[fanstatic four #cartoon]
II. Dr. Ken [evolution #cartoon]... learned osmosis and little abt evolution[darwin's theory] from this dude
III. Bruce Banner[HULK]
IV. Dr. Doom

4. Helicopter/airplane
Electricity
Light bulb
Fire
Musical Instruments

5. when i plotted a coordinate graph for the first time.... Maths teacher just came in, wrote "coordinates" on the board, gave 2D coordinates, rough sketched a 2D coordinate system and said "first test"... we haven't done any kind of graphs so when i got all right, you can imagine the shout[abi scream undecided]

6. when i just don't understand chemistry, gonna keep trying tho

7. Nobel Prize
A statue in my honour, side by side with the statue of liberty

8. artificial eyes; i.e a system that converts video format from a camera into neuron-signals and sends them to the brain via electromagnetic waves or through the optic nerves.... turns out some multimillion dollar company is already working on it[i think]..... ArrrrGHHHHHHH angry

two person? undecided

and choosing a girl as what? first, second, both choices? undecided


plz come clarify

We shouldn't kill ourselves becos we want to solve mathematics undecided

g = 5
b = 4
total = 9

If we have to choose a girl then

p(G) = 5/9
since the condition attached to it is 'choosing a girl'
we have one less person to shoose from from the sample space (9-1 = cool, also the number of girls has been reduced by one (5-1=4)
Now e can pick a boy, or pick a girl.
so we would have a girl or a boy
4/8 + 4/8 = 1
possible outcome (1 ) decide by the total outcome(cool =1/8
5/9 * 1/8

5/72

Brilliant idea!
There are quite a few chemists here.
However, this might be a bit difficult and it is way beyond my level.
Perhaps baggylips can add something?
sorry I came in late bro...firstly m' a biologist not a chemist but I think we can work together because we have similar research interest...I' m an aspiring environmental biotechnologist with research focus on phytoremediation so I think we can mk a good team and also share ideas.Thanks

That is why we are here. . . scientific inclined individuals solves problems scientifically. . . so since you don't or any of us know, we are here to postulate and tender plausible hypothesis on possible ways it could have been done

(1)I think my favorite textbook is New School Physics by Dr. M. W. Anyakoha...it simplified o'level physics to me.


(2)In no order
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
Isaac Newton
Marie Curie
Micheal Faraday


(3)Not much into this.


(4)Computer
Airplane/helicopter
Piano
Electricity and electrical appliances
Robots


(5)Being able to independently solve some knotty physics and mathematics questions.


(6)Not getting the accurate answer after so many rough work...it's damn annoying! Lol


(7)Emeritus Professor of Computer Science.


(coolCannot think of any right now...later

you know, the biggest wonder for me here is how on earth they figured out how to calculate the area of a pyramid. Considering the wheel had not even been invented then.

hmmm...
firstly, i'm not as good as my monicker may suggest cheesy

like i said twice here,,,
this thread will be dominated by Giants, leaving the amateurs to wallow in amazement

anyways, the pyramids look like a staircase of some sort, so maybe, those egyptain guys could have been using each base as a 'scaffold' for the next height,, using local pulleys to transport building materials.



my own hypothesis....
Lest i forget, the guy who completed the apex of the building may have then jumped down to a large trampoline....i dunno cheesy

I suspected it was him. Also, there is another aspect. The pyramid is not merely a construction, it is a building with hollow spaces inside. Ingenious support system. shocked

lol, he could have simply climbed down. cheesy
Also, at the time the pyramid was built, wheels had not yet been invented. So, forget the pulleys cheesy

The pyramids were built with large stone stacks bound together, i think my best guest is that the inner chambers (Pharaoh's burial chamber and the queen's burial chamber) were carved out after the main construction, going by the hidden doors, steep and narrow passage ways, and one of the chamber going down past the pyramid foundation into the ground below

Was there metal at that period? Check if that was the bronze or iron age.
It takes iron to accomplish what you are suggesting.
