5 ? (the 'e' and 'o' are the only letters in both 'house' and 'letteropener')

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 24 Feb 2005 09:27

is it a trick question because letteropener isnt a single word?

Four students competed in math, logic, French and English contests and are wondering about the outcome. Jack thinks Paul won the logic award. Kate thinks Mary won the English award. Mary thinks Jack did not win the math title. Paul thinks Kate won the French trophy. As it turns out, the winners of the French and English contests were wrong, and the winners of the math and logic contests were right.

If each student was awarded, who won which contest?

Jack wins English
Paul wins Math
Kate wins French
Mary wins Logic

Arg, I don't know any riddles. Here is an easy one.

What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else?

Tsiangkun · Post by **Tsiangkun** » 24 Feb 2005 12:38

I know you can't see this . . . but trust me I am only using two digits on my right hands as I create this . . . the largest number using two digits.

I can make one bigger if necessary . . .

99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

ericksonj · Post by **ericksonj** » 24 Feb 2005 12:42

thats interesting, but just two digits total. Not 99

Tsiangkun · Post by **Tsiangkun** » 24 Feb 2005 12:45

two digits, index and the middle finger.

the largest number written with Two numerals would be 9 raised to the ninth power, but the largest number that can be written with two digits approaches infinity.

Jim and his dad have been involved with the fishing and seafood industry off the north atlantic coast for over 30 years together. One day Jim sells the entire industry to his father and moves into the tourism industry. Jim has a friend that fancies himself a bit of a tour guide, and so Jim sets up regular tours for his friend to give commentary as the paddle boat moves ever so slowly along the coast. Supposing you are captain of a ship and it has three red funnels and it leaves New York on a Tuesday and gets to Southampton on Saturday and on the return trip reaches New York on Thursday, what is the name of the captain of the ship.
