Seun:
It is much better, but I don't think it makes sense to insist on the existence of a person whose existence cannot be verified or disproved. God is a product of religion. Why hold on to God after being freed from religion?

This depends on the definition of "God"...
I think you know this already, so why are you trying to paint a different picture?

kretoz:
Hiaa, OK let's assume that he drops 100 coins on each stair and when he gets to the temple, he drops half the money in his pocket, and drops another hundred coins while going down, that means that half the money is 50 coins, there for 100 while going upwards +50 coins offering +100 coins while coming downwards makes it 250, 250 multiplied by 9 gives 2250, if I fail this one, I will just hide my face, looks like Annnikky wants to make me look like a dummy

Half of the money in his pocket is not half of the previous money dropped(100).
You have to determine it.

This then brings a big problem, as you would have to calculate for the temples individually.

Wow, I've learnt something today.

i rep JANUARY 29th

Damn, so close.
I'm January 28th

annnikky:
There stand nine temples in a row in a holy
place. All the nine temples have 100 steps climb.
A fellow devotee comes to visit the temples. He
drops a Re. 1 coin while climbing each of the 100
steps up. Then he offers half of the money he
has in his pocket to the god. After that, he again
drops Re. 1 coin while climbing down each of the
100 steps of the temple.

If he repeats the same process at each temple,
he is left with no money after climbing down the
ninth temple.

Can you find out the total money
he had with him initially?

Starting from the ninth temple to the first to make the calculation easier:

Total Amount had = Amount spent + Amount leftover

Let (Y) be the Total amount he had

For the ninth temple:
Amount spent = 100 + (Y-100)/2 + 100
Since he gives 100 coins climbing up, Half of what is left(after deducting 100) to the priest and 100 climbing down.

Amount left over = 0

Using the formula above :
Total Amount had = Amount Spent + Amount leftover
Note: Y = Total Amount had
Therefore Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 0
Y = (200 +(y-100)/2)
Cross multiply or multiply each value by 2
2y = 400 + y - 100
2y = 300 + y
Take like terms
2y - y = 300
Y = 300
Therefore total amount had at ninth temple is 300

For eight temple.
Also apply the formula :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 300
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 +300
Cross multiply or multiply each value by 2
2y = 400 + (y-100) + 600
2y = 1000 + Y - 100
Collect like terms
2y - Y = 900
Y = 900
Therefore 900 at eight temple

For seventh temple :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 900
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 900
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 1800
Collect like terms
2y - y = 1800 + 400 - 100
Y = 2100
Therefore 2100 at seventh temple.

For sixth temple :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 +100) + 2100
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 2100
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 4200
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 - 4200
Y = 4500
Therefore 4500 at sixth temple.

For fifth temple :
Y = (100 + (y - 100)/2 + 100) +4500
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 4500
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 9000
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 9000
Y = 8700
Therefore 8700 at fifth temple.

For fourth temple :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 8700
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 +8700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 17400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 17400
Y = 17700
Therefore 17700 at fourth temple.

For third temple :
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 17700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 35400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 35400
Y = 35700
Therefore 35700 at third temple.

For second temple :
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 35700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y-100 + 71400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 71400
Y = 71700
Therefore 71700 at second temple.

For the first temple :
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 71700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 143400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 143400
Y = 143,700

Summary :
Ninth temple = 300
Eight temple = 900
Seventh temple = 2100
Sixth temple = 4500
Fifth temple = 8700
Fourth temple = 17700
Third temple = 35700
Second temple = 71700
First temple = 143700

I hope am correct

ednut1:
lies he denied it. he had already played for france before algeria showed interest.

I've not heard of this.
Where did you get this, do you have any link?

ednut1:
15. never happened .10.no basis for comparison.

15 happened, apparently "he was not fast enough" , but he is still a legend nonetheless.

I'm not sure of 10.

hopefulLandlord:
is this sarcasm?

annnikky:
@ ya back

Update na...
BTW hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you a prosperous new year.

kretoz:
Now, I only understood the answer but not the question, I suck in calculations

Nah, you just didn't give much attention to it.

4everGod:
On the contrary i understood. He was being dishonest all along.

Okay oo

dalaman:
This clown 4everGod has been jumping from pillar to post. From cave to whatever. I just dey laugh.

I don't think he understood what you were trying to point out...
You guys argued for pages. OMG

KingEbukasBlog:
The atheists' asslicker is here

I actually brought a theorem disproving dalaman's stance on randomness.
Only to see he was talking about something more complex.

Wtf Is your problem?

dalaman:
A house by definition is something that can be constructed without a purpose. If you know a house that was constructed without a purpose then show me. It's not about having money. You need a purposeful design to build a house.

A house is not just placing one block ontop of another. You will need to make windows, lintel, roofing, doors, thw rooms have to be made. Toilets etc. These things need consious , intentional purpose and directions. Something a desert wind can never do because it is random.

In all parts of building a house consious direction and purpose is needed with intentions as well. Something completely absent in desert winds.

I have already proven that beyondany reasonable doubt. Desert wind can not build a human house because it lacks direction, intentions and purpose. It is impossible for desert wind to build a human house because it is random.

This ends the argument.
Dalaman is talking about "human house" not just any shelter.

4everGod:
Its a theorem that is now being tested on a computer simulation...Look it up

Oh, I didn't know this...
I was talking about the theorem itself anyway.

I'll check it up, I love algorithm problems.

kretoz:
I don't even know what to do with 10,let alone proffering solution lo

10, is just a clue for the first value to get the rest.
Look at the first event for example :

1) The score for the second roll is five more than the score for the first roll.

Using variables for simplicity sake :
Lets assume the first roll is (a)
And the second roll is (b)

This means b = a + 5
Since the score for the second roll is more than the first by 5.

With this, Annniky gave us a clue that the first roll is 10
Therefore ==> b = 10 + 5
= 15.

With this you can get the rest.

4everGod:
Let me explain... the infinite monkey theorem saves correct sections of text while discarding future wrong guesses. its a computer simulation which stores data that is correct and checks it off the list. Where is the storage in randomness in actual life scenario?

I think we are talking about different things, or you are just making assumptions.

This is a theorem not a computer simulation.

kretoz:
Now I'm more than confused but so far as 4kings talk am na true ,Femi, Annniky, Question cross checked, Answer is correct .

Wetin confuse you na...

Annnikky where you dey

4everGod:
You do know that theory is a stupid one and can only work when the correct words are saved and others allowed to correctly fit into them.

Can rondomness store itself for later use or later correction?

I don't get why are you bringing "correction" .
Didn't you see the word "infinite"
It is a mathematical possibility

dalaman:
Demonstrate how desert winds can build a house. We are NOT talking about trees here. How can a desert wind construct a human house? I said it's impossible you said it's possible then explain how.

Ohh the issue is "wind"

Dalaman, this issue can be likened to the "infinite monkey theorem".
Which states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Florblu:
It's unfortunate the plane didn't crash.it would have save your generation from this embarrassment you are causing them.

Haba, you harsh oo

annnikky:
Ok

D first throw score is 10 so solve d rest

Haa, aunty annnikky you just told us the answer, I needed clues.
Solution :
We'll express the values as a, b, c, d, and e.
From the events listed above :
b = a + 5
C = b - 6
d = c + 11
e = d - 8

Annnikky said a = 10
Therefore:
a, b, c, d and e = 10, 15, 9, 20 and 12

I think the trick to solving this question is "elimination" to get a value for (a)
- 36 is the maximum value you can get.
- prime numbers are not possible apart from 5==> (5,1)(1,5)
- numbers like 14, 16, 18, 22, 28, 32 are also out.
- values like 6, 8, 9, 12, are out also, because since b =a +5, if a =6 then b is 11(prime number), also if a=8 then b is 13 also not possible. .

- So just input the remaining values(3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,) for (a) and if the other values(b, c, d, e) does not satisfy the conditions above then it's wrong, the only one that would satisfy the above conditions is 10.

Deicide:
I did not pull anything off. "I am not hanaway"!!!

I deactivated the amenra account because I was banned for stupid reasons. And I also don't troll, kings of troll are peeps like princessebuka and the fraud 4evergod

Hmmm
Whareva sha.

I don tire 4 dis thread.

Wow AmenRa! ...

Edenoscar:
Mtchheew it's deicide,it's hardmirror,it's hanaway,it's amenra,it's seun or it's bots, it's 4evergod,it's theist it's atheist, abeg who get sugar i just soak garri and the thing don rise

Ranchhoddas:
Agreed. But I've interacted a lot with Deicide and EyehateGod. So unless you want to tell me he has been planning for this day for months, then you are wrong.

Well, I know AmenRa and pulling this off should not be an issue for him.
Unless Deicide is not AmenRa

Deicide:
My spiritual level was different then

Which kain spiritual level you dey talk about...?

Ranchhoddas:
I did not say that. I meant more widely-read. Hanaway is probably more advanced in educational status than he is.

You probably did not observe AmenRa very well, that's why you're saying this.

Ranchhoddas:
What is this pattern? From Hanaway's use of words it's evident (at least to me) that he's more widely read than Deicide, so unless Deicide is switching to a higher frequency(which in my opinion is impossible), he's not Hanaway. If he's was reducing his ability it would have been understandable, he is increasing it. This is like saying something is deciding to be more intelligent at will. They are two different people.

Are you saying Deicide is not that intelligent?
BTW, if Deicide is AmenRa then I don't think wit Is an issue here.

Hanaway1:
Anyhow I still maintain you are dumb. You are wacker than your apprentice. A1 dunce

Haba, what's it with the insults?

Abeg leave me alone, Wise man.

Hanaway1:
It is more than pathetic that you, an atheist, perharps not, is in league with the braindead theists who are infamous for spitting out absurd claims and farting grand accusations... You should hide your face in shame. I'm really disappointed in you

I'm not an atheist.

And this game is pathetic.

Hanaway1:
Well, from the look of things, your antics is drawing ruin to the reputation of world famous detectives.

Why not try stupidity? You'd make a better clown instead. Dumbo

Sharap, do you think smart?
Honestly?
