ANSWER: you ask him 'if I meyour twin brother and asked him the right road to follow, which one would he show me?
Then you simply follow the opposite road of any one he shows you

No Qualms:

If the Iron is not in powder form (ground), it is of larger volume

sauer:

was running in my head through my store of maths tricks and discovered:

3 can divide any number, which if you add its digits is divisible itself by 3
e.g 27/3 = 9, but then (2+7)/3 = 3!

393/3 = 131, and (3+9+3)/3 = 5!

Try yours

Alice came across a lion and a unicorn in a forest of forgetfulness. Those two are strange beings. The lion lies every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the other days he speaks the truth.
The unicorn lies on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, however the other days of the week he speaks the truth.
Lion: Yesterday I was lying.
Unicorn: So was I.
On which day did they say that?

The lion can't remember the day he lied?

A bottle is fully filled with oil and it weighs 1.5Kg. When it is half filled with the oil it weighs 900g. What is the weight of the bottle?

And can we have your workings!?
Flashboy, here is a challenge for you!

Imperial McHæl:

It was a monday!
Its uncertain if the unicorn can lie on sunday (as it is not a "day of the week"
Any better luck?

Flashaldrin:

yeeeeeee!!! our thread don reach front page! sauer you have me to thank i was letting the mediocres shine and you had to come challenge me

yeeeeeee!!! our thread don reach front page! sauer you have me to thank i was letting the mediocres shine and you had to come challenge me abi, e be like say you want make i kill the thread again

well from the equation 3^x+4^x=5^x
therfore 3^x = 5^x - 4^x
using the law of difference of two squares (which i hope you know) (5+4) (5-4) = 3^x
9=3^x
3²=3^x
x=3

Mr. Sauer, you haven't confirmed my answer yet, is the last child Omega?


From earlier:

Maggie Mathematical has five sons. One is called Alpha, another is called Beta, the third is called Gamma and the fourth is called Fred. What is the fifth son's name?


Thanks all!

some-girl:


let the bottle be a  and oil be b
a + b = 1.5kg
a + b/2 = 0.9kg
b = 1.2kg

mass of bottle = 0.3kg
mass shd do but since u asked for weight:
weight of bottle = 0.3kg* 9.8 = 29.4N

very smart one.

we need to check if you actually attended/attend any school? are you sure your school is not some ramshack along lagos-ibadan expressway?
difference of two squares!? u gotta be kidding me!
No, Mr. You can't use difference of two squares, because. . . .simply put, those aint two squares. Who's gonna back me up here!?

madprof:

Right, they're not squares, unless of course x=2.

Lord_Reed:

You have 3 goats and 5 plots of grass for feeding the goats. How can you share the plots so that each goat has equal share when you can only split a plot and any subdivision by half?

D.pinaku:

2.94N you meant.

sauer:

Are you kidding!? WRONG!!

RichyBlacK:

Mass = Density * Volume

So, if mass is constant, then density and volume have an inverse relationship, i.e., the lower the density, the higher the volume.

Since powder has a lower density than iron, then powder has a higher volume, given mass equality.

The form the iron takes (powder or not) may not be relevant, as long as the density of iron is fixed, which is a reasonable assumption.
