peacettw: Its all for fun. Moreover, If you have not solved a problem, then does it matter if it has been solved a million times by a million different people? The satisfaction of solving the problem yourself, is EVERYTHING. IMAO |

inschool: Okay sir - thanks for showing us the limitation of your own abilities. But if you asked nicely how I did it, I would have told you 1 Like 1 Share |

AkinPhysicist: Nahhh. If a problem has been solved already, it takes away the fun for me. But give me a problem yet unsolved and the thrill begins. |

peacettw: So how did you go through school? Since, most of education relies on solving problems that have already been solved. Btw, how many original problems have you solved so far? |

LOL All these people saying my problem was cheap too easy were nowhere to be found yesterday when others were solving it. Nigerians and their oversabi. You offer prize to promote intelligence and creativity the criticize you. And if you don't do it, the complain that you are not giving back to society. My people are funny. Once again, congrats to Akin. It takes vicious speed and accuracy to do what he did. And the guy does not even want the money for himself. BIG HEART BIG BRAIN. Tuale baba! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

AkinPhysicist:Your solution lacks a mathematical pathway. When you solve things here, you should consider other viewers as well. A good example was the one you solved for the first puzzle, that was better. At least, people can follow up that solution unlike the second one you posted. |

inschool:all these Monday morning analysts - it takes a high mind to recognize a high mind. I don't even like that Akin of a guy (he is a Yoruba bigot!) but to say he is a little good, is like saying Nigerian politicians are a little corrupt. Bros leave talk abeg.

AkinPhysicist: Schools are for there for a purpose and that is to help cultivate young minds into solving unknown questions and not spend needless time addressing issues with known answers. Are you by chance still a student? If so, it kinda explains a lot. Left school donkey years ago and to answer your second question, I am currently spear heading several researches in uncharted territories that hopefully will help the scientific world in curtailing the rising epidemic of non communicable diseases. What about you? |
Re: Nairalander Offers 10 Thousand Naira For Anyone Who Solves This Logical Riddle by AkinPhysicist: 2:24pm On May 02, 2017 |
naturalwaves: If you don't understand then ask questions. Here is my response to someone who was wise enough to seek clarification: Kelvinreality - after giving Cacawe all night to answer the question above, I have concluded he is incapable of basic logic. Here is the explanation: x^1/2 + (x+15)^1/2 = 15. If an integer solution exist, then you can obtain it by counting. Here is how it works. Let a = x^1/2 and b= (x+15)^1/2 so the eq. becomes a + b =15. So choose a pair of integer a and b whose sum gives you 15. However, NOT all pairs qualify because a^2 has to be equal to b^2 - 15 (since both have to be equal to x). So all you have to do is count from 0 to 15 to see which pair qualifies. Clearly any pair with a from 0 to 5 fails because in this case a^2 is clearly less than b^2 -15. You don't even need to do any calculation - all you need to know is if b^2 -15 is greater (or smaller) than or equal to a^2. If its equal then you have your solution. No calculator required. Nothing. Just basic logic of counting. |

peacettw: I thought we were talking about solving math problems. No yawa. I am no longer a student but I still enjoy solving math/physics problems for fun. That will never change. Not in a million years. Yes, it explains a lot but not what you think. Anyway, I am humbly doing research in Quantum computing/low temperature physics. |

AkinPhysicist:You are so funny bro. How will you start up a mathematical solution with " If an integer solution exists". That's not right at all. Okay, what if an integer solution does not exist? What universally accepted principle are you going to use for it? Show it! You can't be substituting unknowns with integers based on logic except incase of objectives or something that requires a fast answer and thaat is not the case here. |
Re: Nairalander Offers 10 Thousand Naira For Anyone Who Solves This Logical Riddle by peacettw: 2:42pm On May 02, 2017 |
AkinPhysicist: Lol. I thought we were too until you changed the subject to enquire about my sojourn during my school days. Akin, I beg to rest my oars here. Find it tiring going back and forth on any topic. Glad to see that you love maths and physics and making it your life's work. Those were my best subjects too until medicine whisked me away. On a lighter note, I still believe you cheated though |
Re: Nairalander Offers 10 Thousand Naira For Anyone Who Solves This Logical Riddle by AkinPhysicist: 2:45pm On May 02, 2017 |
naturalwaves: Uggh! Not again. These people and their wahala Assumptions are part of mathematics. Look it up. If an integer solution exists you will find it. If you don't find it then you will KNOW that an integer solution does not exist. This itself is KNOWLEDGE you did not have prior to the count test. In the absence of an integer solution, then a more general approach can then be used to solve the problem. |
