YungMillionaire:
The problem is people are too sentimental. The guy just has average intelligence. Full stop. I am sure he is a good textbook student. But nothing special

Dionnetech:

Goderlist:
I have being following this thread from beginning i observed that these two people are playing with the ppl following this thread cuz, the same yungmillionaire that sent the question also use another account called Akinphysicist to solve the question. For this Cacawa that wanted to challenge the Akinphysicist because of his tribal biasness, so all attempt have been made to downgrade his intellegibility but all in vain, that is how he change another account called Inschool with a view to challenge Akin smaltaneously. Hmmm Nigeria

GodIsBiafran:
Akinphysicist (aka Afonja bigot ) In my next life I will like to inherit that your brain - not your Afonja conehead but that quantum wiring in your cerebral cortex

naturalwaves:
The ideal thing is to first of all use the wuru wuru method now before setting out to solve so that one will have an idea of what the answer should look like. It is a smart way of reasoning. However, you are failing to get my points. Sometimes, the answer set may span a larger loop and because of that we need to set out standard ways of resolving such questions for the sake of other people watching( same thing cacawa was trying to communicate to you). You be chairman now. Who would doubt your ability of being able to solve such question.

naturalwaves:
Thank you bro. Since Akinphysicist has decided to dance in circles and not provide a suitable solution to the question nor provide an alternative method that is more acceptable, let me solve it through a way that is devoid of wuruwuru and trial by error like he did for the benefits of secondary school students and others viewing the thread. See solution attached below.

AkinPhysicist:
Okay put 49 for X and see what happens. I solved this problem the moment you posted it. But like my colleagues above said, its too boring. You need to be more creative bruh. Here is my Homework for you:

post a solution that DOES NOT involve taking squares of but sides. Shikena.

Horllamideh:
for real?? Ngbo yungmillionaire, a nilo attention yin nibi bayi

naturalwaves:
Why would you make an assumption when there is a legitimate way to go about it without assumption?

naturalwaves:
What you did is not different from a child

naturalwaves:
being asked to solve for X in 2+X=6 and then you start testing 1,2,3 etc to see which one will give 6.

naturalwaves:
That is trial method and it is demeaning for someone of your calibre.

naturalwaves:
Provide a suitable solution that is devoid of trial and error.

peacettw:
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

naturalwaves:
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.

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.

peacettw:
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?

naturalwaves:
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:
I didn't show my self...but u need to improve on ur approach to engaging argument/discussions with people...

hernandson:
I would keep that in mind,buh you wouldn't want to be a teacher would you?

peacettw:
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.

inschool:
Akin might be a little good but he need to improve....moreover I still doubt he typed the solution with reasoning in three minutes...except if he was reading the questions as it was being
typed by youngmillonair

peacettw:
I am all for efficiency. Why should I task my grey cells in solving a problem that already has an answer? To prove what exactly and to whom? I will rather focus on problems yet unsolved like why on earth as a nation do we have a ghost president. Goodluck finding the answer to that in Google.

hernandson:
lol, 1.haven't even finish my first degree,because of strike and stuff,still in my finals...then my math background was too poor,school didn't have a further math teacher and math teachers got pregnant,lost the baby,the year we should write waec,and she wasn't even got...even though there are special center and stuffs,I will just end up been a wack engineer and its gonna affect my bsc in it and even the society at large if I become one

naturalwaves:
You are being unnecessarily childish and sentimental on this thread. The Akin guy should have known that such solving methods is archaic and unacceptable in maths. How can he use trial and error method to solve that question? What if the solution is something like 120 or more? Will he keep on counting till he gets there? He knows exactly what CACAWA wants but decides to be clever by half and you are just buttlicking him and trolling cacawa unnecessarily.

peacettw:
Lol. Anytime I find a puzzle whose solution is attached to a prize. I do the following.

1. Copy the entire puzzle and paste in Google search

And voila, the answer is back in a less than a minute enabling me to solve this puzzle and win the prize way ahead of my competitors.

This is the link to the solution already solved in 2001.

http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57511.html

Same puzzle, different variables. Notice the winner of this puzzle used exactly the same steps.


You are welcome.

@op ,Next time, find the time to create your own puzzles otherwise your account will be drained faster than the time it will take to solve the puzzle.

AnnaGray:
I don't get this, if a chicken raises two legs, then it falls down. Poor chickens.

CACAWA:
if the answer was meant to be a decimal, the counting method would fail.

CACAWA:
That is exactly why the ITERATION method was introduced as. Avalid mathematical method for "Counting". The only difference is that it counts by itself until it gets to the actual answer and it stops.

CACAWA:
The iteration method is not just any "creative" solution either, it was developed using the Fibonacci sequence.

CACAWA:
Go on your calculator and type :

CACAWA:
0+1=
Ans



Now, type :

(15*Ans) - √(Ans(Ans+15)) =

Now keep pressing the "=" key until the answer stops changing.

It will stay as 49.

CACAWA:
That is iteration. Again that doesn't tell you if there are other solutions.

CACAWA:
So to find all other solutions, you need to find out the first derivative, equate to zero, fond its roots, and the iteration process in another direction Way from the first.

hernandson:
from science to social science haven't really been easy buh am doing just fine,and its not a compliment its a fact bro...still have the regret in me till today

hernandson:
if u were my maths teacher back in secondary school maybe I wouldn't have been a sociologist I swear down. would be going for my dream course in engineering

kelvinreality:
Please why do other figures disqualified and only 8 and 7 was accepted?

CACAWA:
yes it is.
