Jakumo:
Good to see that no FOWL play was involved. Those fowls and turkeys can be very devious and dangerous, so one has to be alert at all times.

The blogosphere must be cleansed of vanity blogging. This unnecessary rush for quick money without doing a thorough job needs to be addressed. Nigerian bloggers have done more harm than good and also constitute a great nuisance to the society.
We never can tell, a goat play may be involved

Something more serious here

Please mods, we don’t need this nonsense BBN news now.
Nigerian are being gone done, Ure here bringing BBN new.
I wish I could delete this thread like those bet9ja n sex position spammers.

Here is a bit of fresh air and they have refused to move it to the front page.

Guys please go through this blog first...

I aam a friend of Talwalker but he is wrong on this one. Reasons being that he is not a programmer and does not understand how computers work. The fact that a calculator gives a certain answer does not mean that the answer is correct. A computer program may be correct syntax-wise but may be wrong logic-wise. That's why it is GIGO. He made reference to historical articles though and said it can be 1 as well as he solved 2 different forms but he went for the answer 9 which I do not agree to from a programming point of view.

The past winners are not studying in Nigeria that munachi guy and the likes,I really want jessy to win

Munachi is now at the University of Toronto studying Aeronautics Engineering. Ayodeji Akinkuowo is in Russia too studying Aeronautics Engineering.

here is the problem..

Both lines are parallel since their slopes are equal hence the angle between them is zero.



4x - 6y = 6 is equivalent to y = ⅔x - 1 . Also 3 - 3y + 2x = 0 is equivalent to y = ⅔x + 1 . Note that

In your question, a = -1 , b = 1 , and m=⅔ Substituting and solving, we have that
D = 6/√13


|y| = 3√[(x - 3)² + (y + 3)²]
y²= 9[(x - 3)² + (y + 3)²]
y² = 9( x² + y² - 6x + 6y + 18)
9x² + 8y² - 54x + 54y + 162 = 0
Completing the square and solving, you have
(8/9)(x - 3)² + (64/81)(y + (27/8 ) )² = 1
This is an ellipse.

I have done that. It's physicists not physicians.

Kudos bro. I was just about helping him out when I saw that someone has. Thanks

Gabbage In Gabbage Out GIGO is what the computer uses to work. If you encode rubbish, you get a rubbish answer.

In maths, the elements in a bracket are the closest as well as any number attached just outside it.
Thus,

6÷2(1+2) is 6÷2(3) which is 6÷6 which is 1. In case you are not sure how a calculator is coded whether Google or not, you need to show the computer what to do by encoding it in the right way.
This is how it should be typed on any calculator to properly instruct any type of calculator........ 6÷[2(1+2)]. The output will be 1 no matter what.

The answer from the Google online calculator is attached below...

winsomelady:
Welcome back. And how was the new year holiday? We are now back and let's get going. Remember what I wrote the other day when I said: 4 = 100₂. It simply means 4 in base 10 is equal to 100₂ in base 2. We have been 'wired' to think in base 10. Other bases exist naturally. We have 7-day week which is in base 7.

Hello dear

Miracle112:
Okay
Thanks Man for the correction.
Can you helpe solve the problem?

I will check it when I get home. You are welcome.

MathsEconomics:
Difficult but solvable.

What application do you use to type.

Kudos o.

Miracle112:
please I want solve this problem and I need guidance please.. someone should help/Guide me...

here is the problem..

1. obtain the angle between the lines 2y-4x+6=0 and y-2x-5=0



2.determine the distance between the line 4x-6y=6 and 3-3y+2x=0


3. Find the locus of a variable point P, if the distance of P from the X-axis is always three times its distance from the point (3, -3)



please mathematicians/physicians in the house should help abeg

You mean Physicists
Physicians are related to medicine and similar stuffs.

Jessey nwichi happens to be my colleagues nephew. I wish him all the best

You can share the thread with your colleague.

I remember taking part in the pre-qualification exam for my school in 2007. Person still know book then and I never spoil myself with girls

Olorunnim:

Yeah right but it won't be a walk in the park. The advantage he has is that he is always very calm. Joel Ndoh is usually a bit nervous.

Evangkatsoulis:
Lol, messi has never scored a 30m freekick. His freekick vs Liverpool was just 29 yards(<26m). Ronaldo scored a 30m+ freekick vs arsenal. A 30m+ freekick vs marseille. A 30m freekick vs Denmark in 2011.
Luiz adriano has also scored 5 goals in a champions league game. Ronaldo has scored 5 goals in a game twice. Aguero has done it 5 times; messi only once.
Err. Neymar dribbled 6 players to score in a game between PSG and Gijon. There are some solo goals that have 7+ dribbles.
Close control? Bernardo silva, insigne, Dybala all have it to the highest level. If you claim messi does close control at high speeds you would have to show that messi even runs at high speed in the first place.
CR7 and Ronaldinho both have much quicker feet that messi. They can touch the ground more than 10 times in a second.
Nutmeg? Lol. Even Suarez has more nutmegs than Missi.
Precise and accurate passing? Can you post his stats for Passing accuracy(long and short passes) and cross accuracy for the past four years. Has he ever had 90% passing accuracy(short or long) in any season? Xavi used to boast 95%+ and Toni kroos has had averages of 98% sometimes.

This is a Technical Knockout o. You for temper justice with mercy now

nams77:
God bless u bro

Amen. Thanks.

nams77:
Father in heaven, grant my kids this kind of brilliance. In Jesus name,amen.


On the other hand, its a shame that things like this are not getting the needed attention. I am just angry. And they wonder why most of the youths behave the way they do. I dont watch that bbn shi*t and you dare not put it on in my house.
Nonsense program

Naturalwaves, thanks for posting this here. Its like a breath of fresh air. It good to know that there are still students who aspire and strive for academic excellence.
The mods like lalastilala, seun will only move if it is a snake or dog thread. Smh

Thank you bro. Had to take my time to come up with the write- up so we can shift focus to something more sensible. It is even possible to have a reality show for smart children where they will be in the house and they will garner followership as well. Something like a Summer school challenge but useless stuffs and immorality is now the order of the day.

I even observe that a bulk of Nigerian youths are now so useless. 80%+ of them smoke cannabis and Marijuana and do so much alcohol. Young irresponsible parents with no clue on how to raise a child are springing up. They give birth to children they cannot take care of and then pour them on the government. It is such a shame! Whereas, parents and teachers of these young ones are putting in enormous effort to guide and gaurd their future well. I remember the ever gentle, smiling, Ayodeji Akinkuowo from Ondo state who is now studying Aeronautics Engineering in Russia on scholarship based on his performance at the show when he won in 2015. Munachin Earnest-Eze is having a shot at MIT as well and so many others.

See the 60 seconds of fame of Ayodeji here and how he blazed the questions.

Abeg time and station 2 watch such interesting brilliant minds

There will be at least 13 episodes in all and the show will be aired in 6 local stations, Dstv African Magic as well as AIT network from August 10.So, keep tabs on them. Moreover, in case you miss any of the series, just go to YouTube and you can watch from the cowbellpedia channel. Betterstill, subscribe to the channel and click on the notification bell so that you will be notified once a fresh episode is uploaded. This is a link to the Cowbellpedia channel below:

https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC0cpyv-4619wm0Qy11wrP7Q

This year's edition is season 5 so when it starts, the videos will be in these format... SE05E1(Season 5 episode 1), S05E2(Season 5 Episode 2) and so on. This way, you will be able to keep tabs on which one you have watched and which one has been newly uploaded.

On the YouTube channel, I think fresh episodes are usually uploaded on Fridays around afternoon time. Once you follow the channel you should be good.

With 12 Junior national qualifiers scoring a perfect score of 100% in the qualifying exams, this is not an episode one should ever miss. I cannot wait to see how the young lads battle for honors both in the Junior and senior categories.

Here is a trailer for Season 5 also....... Enjoy!

Cowbell competition.

I remember when I was not picked to represent in the junior section coz my best friend led me with 2marks.
I had a personal beef with him for no reason,lol

These fellas are hot.

JubrinElSudan:
I will gladly sponsor shows like this if I have the money. Note the condition "IF" in that sentence oh

Okay. God will provide

Born2Breed:
Looking forward to the day one of kids will compete here too....

What do you want them to compete for here? I guess you meant that you are looking forward to the day one of your kids will compete at this cowbellpedia. Right?

kernniejay:
In other words, it will be a clash of the titans

You can say that again

JESSEY UCHE-NWICHI'S TRIUMPH

In case you missed it, here is a recap of the 2017 edition of the Cowbellpedia in which Jessey Uche-Nwichi won the Junior category. The link also contains the finals for the senior category as well.

The Cowbellpedia competition is usually one I look out for every year. This may be due to the fact that I am a teacher or just maybe because I wrote it as well when I was in secondary school- I represented my school in the Junior and Senior categories. However, in our own time, you would only be told the state winner and only 36 candidates will write the finals (1 per state). With technology and the likes, the exam has received more followership and a more detailed review of results. Also, the introduction of the quiz show has made it more fun and it is so exhilarating to watch

Promasidor should be commended for doing a very great job way back from 1998 in ensuring a continuity of the competition.

Other companies should wake up and organise these sort of competitions for students. THE ZAIN AFRICAN CHALLENGE for example, is dead and it used to be an interesting battle amongst Universities across Africa.

Enjoy the 2017 clip attached below.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6XKQZxrSPc

SOME BASIC FACTS ABOUT THIS YEAR'S EDITION

There will be 108 students for the finals.....54 per category(Junior and Senior)

17 National winners(top 17 nationwide) and 37 state winners were picked per category to make a total of 54

12 students had a perfect score of 100% from the junior category at the national examinations

3 students had a perfect score of 100% from the senior category at the national examination

The 3 students that had a perfect score of 100% in the senior category are from Marist Brothers Juniorate-Abia, Bibo Oluwa Academy-Osun and Jesuit Memorial College- Rivers.

The winner will take home 2 million Naira, 1st runner up will get 1.5 million Naira and 2nd runner up will get 1 million Naira. These are excluding other benefits.

The teachers will get 500k, 400k and 300k respectively.

About 11 pupils who were part of the Junior category in 2017 seems to be back (not sure yet).

The show will commence airing by August 10,2019.

JOEL NDOH IS ALSO WAITING

At the 2017 Junior edition, Joel Ndoh was a finalist and he was so good he barely used a pen to solve. He will be firing from all cylinders this time around as he demystified the national examinations with a perfect score of 100% just like Oluwafemi.

Joel is a student of Marist Brothers Juniorate school Uturu, Abia state. In fact, all the 5 students that sat for the national examination from that school qualified for the quiz such that none of them scored less than 98%. The school will be one to look out for this season.

ADEYANJU OLUWAFEMI WILL NOT MAKE IT A WALK IN THE PARK FOR JESSEY

The number 1 foe Jessey would be seeing in this year's edition is another mathematics prodigy known as Adeyanju Oluwafemi from Jesuit Memorial College, Rivers. At the 2017 edition, Oluwafemi was a finalist with Jessey and he emerged 2nd position. Now, Oluwafemi is back to challenge for the title. He did not make it hard to stamp his intentions as he had a perfect score of 100% in the written examination to qualify for the finals. In fact, he is one of the 3 candidates that scored a 100% across the nation in the written exams.
I cannot wait to see how he will give Jessey a run for his money this time around.

This year's cowbellpedia 2019 TV game show will commence soon and I cannot but notice a particular boy called Jesse Uche-Nwichi whom I have been following closely after his triumph at the 2017 Junior category where he blazed through the rounds and finals and dusted everyone to become the National winner in the Junior category. I know for sure that he would not disappoint and will be back for the Senior category. So, when the results of the written examinations came out, I rushed to check if his name will appear as one of the qualified candidates and I was not very much surprised to see that he is coming back as he scored a total of 98% in the written exams.

It was the manner in which he won that was surprising.......he was very cool, calm and focused and supplied answers as though they were right in front of him. I remember that he once said that he does not feel anyone is a threat to him

This year's episode is going to be a serious cracker and I cannot wait for the fireworks to begin.

Jessey is a student of Graceland International School, Port-Harcourt. He will also meet some of his familiar foes at the senior school edition.His pictures are attached below.

Jessey will be attempting to equal the records of Munachi Earnest-Eze of Loyola Jesuit College Abuja who won both the Junior and Senior categories of the competition in 2015 and 2017 espectively.

That Fernabache is a very useless team conceding cheap goals or sometimes keeper and defender playing with the ball. I suspect that the match was fixed. Fernabache played absolute rubbish.
