this is the right answer....

Imagine!! Doing ITK b4 employment, it doesn't follow at all

In general, following some people's comment on how they'll just go home if the job is worth 0<salary<50k, in reality they won't, it only takes a deeper thinking to get it right.
Albeit, preparation also helps. I'll advice my mates looking for corporate jobs to try and practice GMAT frequently, it help the mind sharp when it comes to problem solving during recruitment process, I pray and hope one day this country of ours will be in order.

Hello Mr, i don't know what your thoughts were when you called me an opportunist, i will suggest you stop speculating.Regards

Well, na Joke I dey, no thoughts.

agrovick:
Definitely not wrong, the right word should be incomplete. I did only the 64th term without doing the summation of all the terms.

My bad, you were not wrong I was, thank you for the polite response

femi4:
I guess you quote the wrong person

OK sir, oh I guess you were also trying to correct the person..

MRBODMAS:
All Mathematicians in the house, well put.

Simply solved by using Sum of GP formula:
Where a=1, r=2, n=64, Total Grains of rice=? Note: Sigma means 'sum up'

n-1
Sigma (ar^n)= a(1−r^n)/(1−r)
k=0

Substitute for the variables

(1*2^64) = 1(1-2^64)(1-2)

Cross multiply

(1-2^64) / (-1) = 2^64 - 1

= 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (460 billion tonnes of rice)

This is not attainable with the little minutes given. Brain Storming.

the final answer is very correct but the formula should be that with condition of r>1 sir. Cos r=2

femi4:
No you won't

Is 2⁶⁴ - 1 same as 2⁶³

not same sir 2^3 - 1 is not equal 2^2 sir, with all due respect

Longman6:
Ms, can we talk maths off nairaland?

Chai opportunist, stay ON nairaland

Dpearlz:
You're correct. Solving that equation gives 2^63.

It is not correct, there is a little Kinkinli mistake in the formula

Which is The total number of grains which the board can carry.

I bet to disagree sir, the formula is sufficient cos it adds up all the terms, so using S

dejt4u:
yea.. Thanks.. It shld be something like this; 1,2,4,8,16,32,...

You are blessed

agrovick:
Let me break it down a bit, 2 is the common factor (don't ask me how, I only took an informed guess)
1st square = 2^1-1 = 2^0 = 1
2nd square= 2^2-1 = 2^1 = 2
3rd square = 2^3-1 = 2^2 = 4
4th square = 2^4-1 = 2^3 = 8
64th = 2^64-1 = 2^63



Rotfl! You are one nairalander I will love to meet in person

Wrong sir

dejt4u:
you are wrong.. It is (2^64) - 1 which is different from 2^(64-1)

my answer;
you definitely need a formula.. This is a GP series of the form 1, 2, 4, 16, 32,...

From the above,
first term, a = 1, common ratio, r = 2,
supply this in the formula of sum of nth term of a GP..
S_n = a(rⁿ - 1)/(r-1) since r > 1

therefore, S₆₄ = 1(2⁶⁴ - 1)/(2-1),
S₆₄ = 2⁶⁴ - 1

Scholar you did well but something is wrong, the sequence is not the square of real numbers, check sir

Ifeshyne:
This is a geometric progression (g.p) with ratio = 2, a = 1 (first number) and n = 64.
we use formula for sum of a geometric progression which is s = a(1-r^n)/1-r


After substituting the values, Final answer has to be in standard form if calculators are not allowed
Something like 2^64 - 1 or even just 2^64

Lovely, but something is missing

PROF impact is also very correct. As it means a strong influence, definitely it fits.

I remain my humble self Solihu Gaffar, A graduate of Mathematics, Teach Maths in a Private school in Ikorodu, Have 2yrs experience but might stop because of the ridiculous salary
Just like other subject, I am working towards changing the mentality of students about Maths because it's fun. Thank you for this thread.
In addition, I recently took up a Lecturing part time job in Laspotech (unofficial) and also join in Conference marking after each exams.

kesmalindo:
Hi
I'm a teacher at Valiantminds Montessori School
I will stop teaching because I have to go back to school
I've just gotten admission to study MATHEMATICS(the major problem of students) in LASU
I'm single but not searching
I want to let the students all over world believe that MATHS is damn easy


I'm looking forward to be a teacher in future

Nice

ItsQuinn:
10 + 10 = 20 10*2=20 20 divided by 2 = 10 10-2*20=160

Your maths is realllyyy bad miss... Lol

Oh the answer is 2 Briefcase = 10 Each newspaper =1 Each books = 2 10 - 1*8= 10-8=2

10-2*16=10-32=-22

helper! ! helper! ! how many people have you helped? what a funny word to use, don't worry I know you are smart!! Whether you are convinced or not, that money you collect will never bring content! !! 'HELPER' LOLZ open a site and deposit money then dash it out ..yeye

jazakumullah khairan, this piece is really enlightening, please keep it up, to the brother who said 1 and 6 are not mistakes, Well we need to have a rethink, especially when it's about solat, there is manual(rules and guidance) which is straight from the prophet any other thing is a mistake and must be tried to be corrected. We won't fill up a gasoline tank with water and expect the engine to work. Assalam alaykum

nnamdiosu:
First of all..I havent heard your wife's side of the story. So I won't totally blame her. In all matters I know there are always two sides to a coin.


Now from the little I have read I can see you and your wife are two honest loving people trying their best in this union. And that's the key to a lasting marriage.

1. First ensure you carefully filter the suggestions that people will give here (including mine). Be wise. Nl is full of sadistic and occultic folkes.

2. People are different. They also apologise in different ways. Now I don't know ur wife but you will be in the best shoe to know. Some of my friends outrightly apologise. Others come near me and indirectly apologise. Some eben indirectly blame me jokingly and tell me they've forgiven me! Even wen its clear to a blind man that they were annoyed. You have your own way. I have my own way. She has her own way.

Truth is an apology is not out of place. Maturity demands that one should apologise for a wrong act...but wisdom accepts that no two people are the same. Does she show an apology in some other way? If yes...then accept while still trying to show her why a spoken apology is more ideal. If no.....then it is well.

3. To be frank...it is very very wrong for a wife to disobey her husband. In that aspect she was 100 % wrong. Very wrong. But maturity and compromise is needed in marriage in all matters. Since you've talked to her and she doesn't want to listen. Call her and ask her y indeed she really disobeys and uses the product. If the reason isn't holding water....ask her if she will prefer cooking separate pots of food for u too. At least that will help solve the problem. She has her way..u have your way.

3. I admire your patience and love for her. I felt your pain. But now...put aside that pain....and pick understanding and love. Truth is, ideally in all ramifications, she is wrong. But let's forget about that. Try the steps I gave.. Esp the frank talk with her. Find that right time when she is in that emotional state of mind (after sex? Or buying her a gift), and tell/ ask her y she is disobeying u.
Lastly commit it into the hands of God. Only God can help u direct a woman. Because they are the last thing he created, very mysterious, very surprising yet very lovable and emotional.

And madam if and if I say (cos I know there are different sides to a story) what Oga said is true...then remember that only a foolish woman plucks her home down with her own hand. I've seen good marriages break down for issues less than this. Yours will not be so in Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you very much, may u live a peaceful life, you just gave solution to my Marital problem, it's so sad when everything is perfect except dat 1 painful thing and nothing seems to work, the thought of living with it forever weaks the spirit rapidly

Years upon years we voted in New leaders, In few years we'll have another election and you'll see youths who are ready to die for this politicians all in the name of token or stupid appointments, surely you won't even see their wards in front line, they'll either be overseas or under-roof watching films while some people waste away their precious lifes. Does this means we are the cause of our ordeals?

orunto27:
Everything stinks in Nigeria. We haven't had good Leaders, those who really understand the meaning of Unity, one Nigeria and the Practice of their Principles. Gowon, OBJ and IBB just scratched the surface. OBJ scratched deeper by establishing ICPC and EFCC but didn't provide rules to make them disciplined and respected through out the Federation. Religion is largely a private affairs and should be used only as consulting platform to move the country forward. Corruption, Greed ignorance and Selfishness are the roots of our problems. Find Solutions to these,
and there will be no more tribalism, ethnicism, religious indifference and intolerance. All Federal and State Universities established during GEJ Era must be allowed to stay and function properly on a civilized basis and not by Bokoharam style. U.S. develops on their English foundation and graduated successfully into the Presidential System. NIGERIA can and should do better than the U.S. if we cut off our greed, Corruption and Selfishness. The Bible you quoted from Chronicle has improved to John 16:24 since we know CHRIST. And so it should be for Nigeria if Nigerians know The Law and The Lord.

What's the way forward, I'm tired of blaming the leaders

My dear. I agree with you oo. Something has to be wrong with Africa oo.

I did a Thesis on Philosophy of Race. I stumbled on an Article "The Table of Nations". After reading through it, i felt like crying.

The theory sefmented the entire human race into three, drawing a table according to the Sons of Noah who survived the flood, and putting the nations under it.

The Shemites being the first son, are the Jews and Arabs and those in their environs they gave the world the three foremost religions, but were not able to take it across the world.

The Hamites, are Africans. The black races. These are the most gifted in terms of natural and even human resourses. All of the world's INVENTIONS BEGAN WITH THEM (and he ran down all the inventions and periods in history to proof he knew what he was saying) .

They gave the world Science and Techonology, but couldnt harness and develope it to what it is today (He was cursed by his father). No matter how blessed, he can't rise above the curse.


The Japhites are the Caucasians. They have only the MIND. Nothing else. Intellect. They think, reason, philosophies, and recreates what others have worked on before.

They have never discovered or invented anything new on their own, they only take from what 'especially the Hamites' have discovered and worked on it, Improved on it, embelish it and preaent it in a flaboyant way thereby taking creadit.

Without the Japhites, the three Religions will be locked up in the Middle East.

Without them, Science and Technology will be locked in the minds of the Hamites. They have the ideas, but can't thrive on their own, but when remove from the Hamitic environment and placed in a Japhite environment, a Hamite thrive far better than the Japhite.

So also with the Semite, while in their enviroment, all they talk about is their religions, but when placed in the Japhite environment, they out smart the Japhites.

Well. We may dimiss this man's theory as Conspiratory, but i see alot of sesne in it.

Besides, he is Caucasian, yet wasn't biased to keep the world's inventions to the supposed Japhites which happens to be his race.

So, my submissio is this; I see a hand behind the scene working to bring to pass what has been prophsied. I think Ham's curse is still working agaiant his descendants.

That is why i pity atheists who fight God.

Where do we start from?
