YungMillionaire:The aim of the discuss was never to place anyone above any except if I missed the purpose. It was meant to be a regular intellectual discussion. It is not a competition. If you feel they are better than me, that is your opinion. Perception is something that cannot be debated. That is your perception and you are entitled to it and like I said earlier on, I have nothing to prove to you or anyone. |

YungMillionaire:Did you peruse the thread from page 1 to page 256 to make such conclusion? Fine, the starter of the thread made a bit of chest beating and all. Subsequently, it was refined and made better.On this forum, I have met close to 10 mathematicians and each one of them can stand their own anywhere. Alot of them came to the thread and assisted people. The thread is one of the longest threads if not the longest in the Education section. I only asked you to get in there and contribute your quota if you have any whenever you are free to. You seem on a very high horse and you need to calm down. Moreover, you do not seem to ooze any iota of intelligence aside doing side talks and igniting infernos and you are a very bad listener as well. You only hear whatever you want to hear or whatever tickles your fancy. |

inschool:By the title, it was not meant to be found interesting and wasn't meant for competition. It's a maths clinic where issues are resolved and I only invited you guys to stop by once in a while to contribute your quota. That's all! |

If you are good, show it to us and stop trying to bring somebody else down. If you are Afonja, I think this is one of the reasons Igbos always come for una head. I shake my head for you Kind.

YungMillionaire: As someone who is a big fan of pure reasoning and logic, I have decided that once a year I will offer 10 000 naira to any Nairalander who is able to solve a unique math problem. The goal is to appreciate people who show a unique ability for clear thinking and originality. This year the award will go to the first Nlander to solve this problem: [b]A farmer has a small farm of chickens and rabbits. There are 28 heads in total and 80 legs in total. By using simple logic and reasoning find out how many chickens he has and how many rabbits he has. You have to SHOW YOUR WORK. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO GET THE RIGHT ANSWER, YOU HAVE TO SHOW HOW (WITHOUT USING FORMAL MATHEMATICS – YOU CAN HOWEVER USE FORMAL MATH TO SHOW THAT YOUR REASONING IS CORRECT) YOU SOLVE IT USING PURE REASONING AND LOGIC. IF YOU SOLVE IT USING FORMAL MATHETICS YOU WILL NOT GET THE PRIZE AWARD. IF YOU ARE THE FIRST TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PM ME YOUR BANK DETAILS AND YOU GET YOUR 10,000 NAIRA. Good luck. YungMill [/b]. solution |
Re: Nairalander Offers 10 Thousand Naira For Anyone Who Solves This Logical Riddle by Bamibamz: 10:41pm On May 03, 2017 |
Bamibamz:.solution frm da question we hav 28 heads and 80 legs. as we all know a rabbit has 4 legs and a chicken as 2legs . Therefore the maximum number of rabbit we can hav is 19,because if we have 20 rabbits then the total number of legs we will have is 80 which has covered all d total number of leg without da chicken.so d range of rabbit we can hav is 4rm 1to19 i.e(rabbit<20) and d range of chicken is 4rm 9 to 27.{because if we hav 19 rabbit dat means we will have 19 heads because a rabbit has 1 head so if we have 19 rabbit head we will have 9 chicken head which means 9 chicken because 19 rabbit plus 9 chicken will give us 28 head which is d total numba of head} so d possible no of rabbit we can have is (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)then the possible numba of chicken we can have respectively ar (27,26,25,24,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,109) {i.eso wen u pick 1 rabbit u will pick 27 chicken so dat we can hve d total numba of head}. wen u pick 1 rabbit we will hav 27 chiken so we will (multiply d numba of rabbit with d numba of its leg)+(numba of chicken multiply by numba of itz leg) then if d total numba of legs we have is equal to what we ar given den we ar correct i mean (1*4)+(27*2)=56 so dis is wrong so do dis for 2 rabbit and 26 chicken ,3rabbit and 25 chicken e.t.c so wen u get to 12 rabbit and 16 chicken u will get (12*4)+(16*2)=80 so we hav 12 rabbits and 16 chickeb in the farm |

olureignforever:My guy you spoke the truth. I also think he is an Afonja - no wonder he has no manners Cowcowa is too rigid in his ways. He is jealous because the other guy, Akin, who is also Afonja, is a more advanced thinker. Jealousy go finish Afonjas |

let me make this clear to all nairalanders...Akin might be a little good no doubt.... but what majorly piss me off with him is how he is very quick to belittle someone...if you think you are great people have gone past that level....or else Akin go ahead and solve the unified field problem... |

Re: Nairalander Offers 10 Thousand Naira For Anyone Who Solves This Logical Riddle by GodIsBiafran: 12:23pm On May 04, 2017 |
CACAWA: And yet he solved the problem in less that a minute without calculator or pen/paper...lets be honest... I don't even like the guy (because he carries Biafra matter for head too much) but he is an exceptional thinker. If you still think he can't solve the problem using your textbook method, go and look at his prowess on physics threads. One thing I have learnt in this life is to not allow my opinion of people cloud the reality of who they are. My opinion is that Akin is not a very nice person, BUT, I will be a abject liar to doubt his cerebral prowess. 1 Like |

GodIsBiafran: Lol you really believe he solved that in less than a minute? Okay here you go, solve this in less than one hour, using same method. √(x) + √(x+17) = 56 Pls do not use the pure mathematical method. In some people's words "if you know say na your mama born you" Cc: FisifunKododada (pls use that your "fastest" method) |
Re: Nairalander Offers 10 Thousand Naira For Anyone Who Solves This Logical Riddle by FisifunKododada: 12:54pm On May 04, 2017 |
CACAWA: lol how much is this one going for? You people u na no dey tire? Even the Akin that is the seminal subject of discourse has moved on. But come to think of it Cacawa - didn't Akin say (several times) that his quick/fast method will yield an integer solution IF one exists? So, why are you making it sound like he said his method was some 'almighty' formula? I think you are been dishonest here and its very obvious. Many of us are paying close attention to this thread because its fascinating - so trying to fool people with this passive aggressive lies won't work. |
