Lol. Who wants to steal a small phone on Lock?? Maybe you misplaced it.

I swear i didnt misplace it, it was stolen and on lock. Its nokia symbian phone. The thief dropped the phone outside my room and texted me to come out and pick it. And before i came out he disappeared.

There are 10 horses and 25 men
now if 10 men are on the 10 horses 15 men will b walking on foot.
A horse have four legs and a man has 2legs.
4*10(number of horse legs)=40
15*2(number of man legs)=30
40+30=70
70 legs is the total number of legs walking on the ground.

Brilliant. You know what i like about your answers? they are straight to the point.

Let the number of Men be X
And the number of horses be P

Number of horses equal men,so we have X=P...(eq i)

Half horses are occupied and half are not.And we know that occupied horses plus not occupied horses gives us the total horses.. So P/2 + P/2 = P...(equation ii)

Number of legs walking on the ground is 70. And since one man has two legs,it means they are 35men walking..

Since equation i said X=P...all we gats do is look for total number of men which MUST be same as total horses. No be me talk am,na the equation talk so.

Total number of men=those walking +those on horses..
I..e.. X= 35+ X/2 ... do l..c..m and multiply.. we have... 2x=x + 70.. x=70..

Total number of men(X)=70
So total horses(P) must be 70.. According to (equation i)... X=P

Sorry for the long method. Just wanted to avoid confusion..

Am I correct?

Yes. Thats really commendable. i like the way you break the answer.

nice work.
Help me tell the op that it is an algebraic problem. Not arithmetic.

Kstadaura, any other one?

Try this:
A woman is engaged to work for 16 days.She is paid 2nr each day she works and fined 0.40 each day she stays away.At the end she received 24.80 in all. For how many days does she stay stay away.?

ebbybest:
Thanks, but at a point it was very confusing.

Another question posted. Give it a try.

Ksslib:
I salute too.

If you have more,pls dont hesitate to post to keep minds busy.

Here is another one for you and everyone:
A certain number of horses and an equal number of men are going to somewhere.Half of the owners are on their horses's back while the remaining ones are walking along leading their horses. If the number of legs walking on the ground is 70, how many horses are there?

lekjons:
dumb!

@op, u know maybe the thief(ves) has a type of ur key.. doorlocks ain't trustworthy these days..

You may be right.

But what made him return and how did he unlock the phone, are the two questions that still baffle me

Cutehector:
So whch fone wey u dey use write dis nonsense nw eh? Ode

I never expect this type of comment from you, i use to think you are among the responsible nairalanders.

You didnt get it right i said, my small phone.

I am muslim, this morning i went for morning prayer and left my small phone charging, i locked my door, but when i came back the phone was not there,it has been stolen, i was sure that i left it charging so i didnt bother checking anywhere but what confused me was that, neither was my door nor the lock was damaged and its only the phone that was taken. The phone is on security lock.

I called several times but it wasnt picked, later i was called and and texted to come and pick my phone outside.

Am really confused guys what do you think happened here?

Nowadays everyone is obsessed with his phone and social media. Who do you think is more into it between guys and girls.

Ksslib:
Let the number of brids at the top be X
Let the number at the bottom be P

Take one from the top,add to the bottom and they become equal....... X-1=P+1....equation i

Take one from the bottom,add to the top and the top doubles the one at the bottom X+1 = 2(P-1) ....equ ii

From equation i.... X-P=2
From equation ii.... X=2P-3

Since X = 2p-3 from equation ii.. We substitute in equation i..

Therefore... 2P-3-P=2
2P-P=2+3
P=5

Since P = 5... We substitute again...
X-P=2
X-5=2... X=7..

Therefore... (Top)X= 7 and (Bottom)P=5 ..

Bro i salute.

ebbybest:
There are seven birds at the top and Five birds at bottom. If u remove 1 from the seven birds at d top nd add to the ones at the bottom they becomes 6 birds each. But if u take one from the bottom nd add to the one at the top, the one at the top becomes 8 while the one at the bottom becomes 4. Then that at the top doubles that at d bottom.
Top =7
bottom=5

you are the first person that got it right,with simple explanation.

Some birds are at the top of a roof and some at the bottom. If you bring one bird from the top and add to birds at the bottom they become equall. But if you take one bird from the bottom and add to the birds at the top, the birds at the top double the birds at the bottom.

How many birds are at the top and bottom of the roof?

I use to hear this argument that ladies eat more than guys, and i begin to agree, because most ladies get fatter and look prettier after marriage. Thats because they eat what they want in their husband house and no one is there to see the amount of food they are eating.

But when they are single if you take them to eatery they will start to show they are big girls and dont eat much food,but some are eating oooo.

whats your opinion guy?

Its really annoying and disheartening how some unemployed university graduates look down on their polytechnic conterparts and respond to the issue of HND/BSC dichotomy. There is a thread in the front page which gave account of how ASUP president pleaded with Federal government to upgrade Nigerian polytechnics so that they will be awarding degrees. But some comments there are really discouraging which i believed were posted by university students,some are saying'its never going to happen',' HND and Bsc are not the same so they should not be equalised' of course we know you people and the Nigerian government see it as inferior degree,thats on paper, but its not, is only the name that needs to be changed, here is why:

Am student in kaduna polytechnic and i know there are ABU students that are coming for practical work in our institution almost every quarter of the year because they dont have the instruments in their school. There was a university that borrowed a chartered Accountant from our school to get their accounting course approved.If you talk of HND graduates are paid lower, go to refinery, chemical engineers from polytechnics are being paid more than the administrative staffs of the same level with university degrees. I participated in the last election activities and my partner has a university degree but i had to be spelling words like 'FOUR' and 'CONSTITUENCY' for him, am not close to perfect in english language.

So you having university degree doesn't mean that you will be more successful than HND holder in real life, its a matter of who has longer leg and destiny. And pls stop thinking that if polytechnics are upgraded to be awarding degrees your chances of being employed will reduce.

Thank you for reading.
God bless Nigeria.

The part that scares me is nursing a baby and schooling, with this ugly economy God know say my neck length no go make sense.

woow!!! ladies are afraid of having babies, what about we?

Now that its obvious, having a degree doesn't guarantee job or success in life, if you have something doing or a job can you get married while still in school?

when you look at the butt of a lady thats wearing jeans, you will be able to see if she is wearing panties or g-string(or not wearing anything at all,i dont know).If she is wearing panties,you will see its shape, but if she is not wearing anything or wearing g-string you will only see the butt directly.

But most of the ladies now you will see the shape of their pants from behind, is g-string not more flexible? its sexy, though some see it as unholy to wear.
as basket mouth once said' before if you want see ynash you open panties but now if you want see panties you open ynash'

Guys do you support ladies to continue wearing the old-fashion panties or the modern G-string?

bollyano:
op, explain to ur current gf everything dat happend btw u and her cousin, wateva she decides will be what you will do, dnt be d first to breakup with her

I think thats a good idea, telling her what happened between her cousing and i,cos eventually she will know, so i better tell her myself,but point of correction,i will not let her decide what i do,rather i will try to convice her to continue with the relationship,cos i really love her, thank you.

Family ties

Op its a sign ur future wife is from that family if u break up with cousin u can date niece sef

U are funny

ilobasama:
Silly of her indeed. Imagine question as if you dating her for the sex. (I hope u are not anyway)

Let her go ahead and tell your gf, the rest is left to both of you. If you had known they were related you should not have dated her but since you did not, its late.

But I must confess, you are in a messy situation. If the pressure is too much, just quit and have your peace

Thanks bro

BUTCHCASSIDY:
What is cousin sister you villager?

if made mistake correct me dont call me names pls

I have been together with this girl for like a month now(nothing beyond kiss and hug),but unknown to me she is my ex's cousin sister.And didnt find out until today, its her birthday and so i met with my ex there,my current gf introduced me to her,she didnt show that she knew me.

when i got home i saw like 20 messages in my whatsapp,they are from my ex, she is pleading with me to quit the relationship because the girl am dating is her cousin sister and according to her is not fair,especially that i had sex with her(my ex) it will be awkward to also have sex with her cousin,she even asked if i have sex with her cousin.....

I didnt reply her stupid messages beacuse i see nothing wrong with dating her cousin, although if i had known..... but am already in the relationship,she even threaten to tell the girl bad things about me if i refuse to quit, but i dont care.

So guys what would you have done,if you were in my shoe?

Hello Kstadaura, You must be an Idiot. This useless topic of yours, doesn't worth opening a New thread on. You are just wasting your time and e-pages. I guess you are a jobless person. Oponu oshi!

I thank God for not being brought up like this

yanabasee:
Police is your friend oh

what of you?

eme1n:
Yeye, so ur so perfect a police officer cannot ask for corrections??

Haba not this small one that you expect your five year old boy to ask

Guys i know we all whistle,sometimes when we see something that amazed us,or we want to call a lady,or follow music tune.

But is it a good habit, when last you whistle, ladies do you also whistle, how do you feel when someone call you with a whistle?

Today around 5:30 pm,i accompanied my friend to an ecobank branch to withdraw money from ATM machine, we met a police officer standing by the ATM, and while my friend was operating the ATM, that officer asked me'pls my friend whats the correct pronunciation of this bank name?, is it Acobank or ecobank?. i just told my friend to meet me here but am afraid may be i didnt tell the name correctly.

The question really surprised me, being it coming from the officer of NPF, its embarrassing.

Thats why i decided to share it with fellow nairalanders,what do you think, and have you come across something like this before?

Let me start with the ladies. you come out looking stunning,walking like a fashion model and majestically, suddenly another lady appears that looks more beautiful and dressed in clothes that are more expensive than yours.

Guys you wear suit fitted with everything okay,suddenly another guy whos taller than you also wearing suit appear.

I know you dont give a damn about them, but there is that feeling in your hrt, especially ladies,when the attention is no longer on you.
