Could be unsolvable because we don't know what 1 beer mug is equivalent to. But I'll assume it's 1 since 2 beer mugs equal 2.

Retarded problem that relies on people missing the fact that the beer goes from 2 glasses to 1, and you have to assume it means half, which isn't something you should do unless your highest math was middle school math.

That's a paradox, isn't it? Since there are 4 answers the correct one would be 25%, but there are two 25%, so it would be 50%, but since there is only 1 50% answer the chance would go back to 25%.

>The cup is an English unit of volume, most commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes. It is traditionally equal to half a liquid pint in either US customary units or the British imperial system but is now separately defined in terms of the metric system at values between 1⁄5 and 1⁄4 of a liter. Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups are usually used instead.

I wish schools taught division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction as their schools instead of as separate functions.
Multiplication and division are literally the same function. Same for addition and subtraction.
4 * 1/4 and 4/1 is the same thing. 3 + (-2) and 3 - 2 is the same thing. The pemdas/bodmas thing leads people into this idea that mathematical functions inherently operate from left to right when they don't; that's simple bad formula construction.

You do whatever is in the parentheses first.
So.
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
Now the lack of anything between the 2 and the left parenthesis means it defaults to multiplication.
Since multiplication and division have the same priority here, you just need to go from left to right now.

If the egg is $0.05, the pan is $1.05. Add them up and it gives you $1.10. Or you can use simultaneous equations if you're feeling adventurous

>>160439305
I thought so at first, but if you break it down into an equation, it makes sense.
If you define a frying pan to be x, an egg to be y, then their sum equal to 1.10. You get:
x + y = 1.10
The problem tells you that a frying pan is whatever an egg is plus 1, so:
(y + 1) + y = 1.10
You work it out and:
2y + 1 = 1.10
2y = 0.10
y = 0.05
An egg(y) is worth $0.05

A large part of the population is sub-100IQ as well and will work some dead end wageslave job while serving as cattle to fleece for money via loans and taxes, they may exist in droves but doesn't mean anyone should aspire to be one. Also like you said, it's problem solving, which is useful for anyone at any level due to finance management and just every day life.

Take any positive integer n. If n is even, divide it by 2 to get n / 2. If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 to obtain 3n + 1. Repeat the process indefinitely. The conjecture is that no matter what number you start with, you will always eventually reach 1.

Can you do it /a/?

no im saying if you have e.g. the equation x=y. then a solution to that equation is x=0, y=0.
Are you arguing otherwise?
>>160437296
3X = 30
30/3 = 10
X = 10
10 + 2Y = 20
20 - 10 = 10
10/2 = 5
Y = 5
5 + 2Z = 9
9 - 5 = 4
4/2 = 2
Z = 2
5 + 2 * 10= 5 + 20
5 + 20 = 25
Answer: 25
This is elementary school level math.

>>160440284
1) You can substitute any positive integer for X, Y, and Z for pythagorean theorem
2) Fermat's Last Theorem (x^n + y^n =/= z^n) only applies to positive integers, that of which 0 is not

The question is asking to solve an equation. The equation is x^n + y^n = z^n (there is a very famous problem in math).
For any n which is not 0. The equation is true if you set x=0, y=0 and z=0. because then both sides are 0.
Just like if you are asked to solve x=1+y+z then x=0, y=0 and z=-1 is a correct solution.

n=2 gives you Pythagoras theorem, making it easy enough to solve for X, Y or Z (your choice), and trivial to find any of the infinite combinations of numbers that satisfy it.
The famous math problem is to find integer values for x, y, z and n, where n > 2, that fits. Or more specifically, to prove that no such combination exists, because nobody seemed able to find any such numbers, and it sure as hell wasn't for lack of trying. Solving that proved to be a bastard and a half for the entire mathematical community over the course of centuries.

The solution is 20 degrees (110 for the other non-obvious angle), but I have no idea how to obtain it without trigonometry. The currently drawn triangles only give one distinct equation for two variables (three if we consider the two unknown CDE angles). There are no similarity relations between the triangles here and extending the lines to get additional triangles and parallelograms doesn't seem to help either.

>>160439788
the solution
V is the volume of the barrel
there are 3 days
each day he removes 3 cups and adds 3 cups
starting the barrel is at A% wine then becomes B% then becomes C% then becomes D%
A is 100
D is 50
The total ammount of wine is the percentage times the volume.
the first day removes 3 cups A% and adds water which is 0%
AV-A*3+0*3=BV
BV=A*(V-3)
or B=A*(V-3)/V
the next day is the same as the previous but the wine removed is 3 cups B%
BV-B*3+0*3=CV
CV=B*(V-3)
or C=B*(V-3)/V
But we already know what B% is right
C=A*[(V-3)/V]*[(V-3)/V]
I think you see where this is going.
the next day
CV-C*3+0*3=DV
DV=C*(V-3)
or D=C*(V-3)/V
But we already know what C% is right
D=A*[(V-3)/V]*[(V-3)/V]*[(V-3)/V]
in other words
D=A*(V-3)^3/V^3
Giving us an equation with one variable since we know D and A.
But we want to isolate V so we divide both sides by A to get:
D/A=(V-3)^3/V^3
or
So D is half of A
.5=(V-3)^3/V^3
But it's impossible to work out that mess! Nah
.5=(V-3)^3/V^3 both sides to the 1/3 power
.5^(1/3)=(V-3)/V get rid of that fraction and calculate whatever .5^1/3 is
.7937V=V-3
3=.2063V
V=14.54
to check
14.54-3=11.54
11.54/14.54=79.37%
11.54-3*.7937=9.151
9.151/14.54=62.94%
9.151-3*.6294=7.2628
7.2628/14.54=50%

Look at >>160440649 , does that tiny ass angle look like 70 to you? CED and CDE are also far from equal.

The unknown angle between A and B should be 50. Likewise the angle above "a"
Angle between B and E is 130, same for angle between A and D.
ADB should be 40
CDE+DEC+20=180

I don't feel like actually doing it, but since all the vertical force has to be on B, you use the 45 degree angle to figure out how much horizontal force it's taking (the same amount as vertical, since 45), and that must horizontal force is opposite'd at A.

A and 7
There's no rule about what is on the other side of a card with an even number, nothing about consonants either.
So you check A to see if there's an even number and the 7 to see if there's a vowel or consonant.
>>160440668

>>160442772
Aslong as the question isnt contradicting itself, how can it be wrong?

What if there's a vowel on the back of the K card?
>>160442931
He's clearly doing the Wason Selection task, and he posed the question incorrectly.
If you want to assume his wording is what he wanted then you do have to turn all 4. You'd have to turn 2 as well because it could have literally anything on the other side

AK7 not 2
>>160442494
A, K, and 7.
A to prove the rule of "if one side has a vowel, the other side must be an even number"
K to prove there isn't a vowel on the other side.
7 to prove there isn't a vowel on the other side.
2 is irrelevant as it wouldn't not matter what is on the other side; if it has a vowel it follows the rule. If it doesn't have a vowel, it doesn't impact the rule at all.

>You'd have to turn 2 as well because it could have literally anything on the other side
But the only thing that can be on the other side that is relevant is a vowel, it doesnt determine wheter or not the rule has been followed, as this will be confirmed by turning the card with an "A" on it. At no point in the rule does it say that a card with an even number needs to have a vowel on the other side.

He's obviously using letters instead of colours. The point is that the cards are meant to be limited in that they can only have one type of information one side and have to have the other type on the other side.

Numbers + two letter types

If the lighter ball is in one of the 3 how do you know which one it is?

Something seems fishy here, I'm gonna say trick
>>160447682
Put 2 of them on the scale, duh.
>>160447682
Two rounds, on both rounds, you have three stacks (three stacks of three in first, three stacks on one on the second).
You put against eachother. If one stack is lighter, it has the lighter coin. If they are equal, the third stack, which wasn't on the scale has the lighter coin.
>>160447590
Yeah, this is correct.
>>160447809
But you are weighing balls, not coins
>>160447809
That depends on how you interpret the question I suppose. If you don't actually have to find the specific ball that is lighter, this works. You will only know that it's one of the 3.
>>160447900
Theres also 9 balls.
>>160447916
No, it doesn't.
the first time you weigh you will rule out 6 balls, and the 2nd time you weigh, you will figure out which specific one it is.

3x = 30
=> x = 10
x + 2y = 20
=> y = 5
y + 2z = 9
=> z = 2
x + y + z = 17

You have
ABC/DEF/GHI
You weigh ABC against DEF. If neither is heavier, the light ball is in GHI.
We now take the remaining balls, call them 123. Weigh any two against each other. If neither is heavier, the one not weighed is the light ball.

Divide them into groups of 4 initially and start a binary search; however first there will be an extra ball
Weigh the ball next to another ball, if you get an imbalance then you have your ball right there. If not, weigh
4/4
2/2
1/1
So minimum is 4
15
The best part is the last line down below, the rest is just a distraction of kiddie tier algebra.
The funny shit is how many people are going to fuck up the last part because they are too retarded to remember that multiplication goes before addition. Also how cheeky it is to put only one beer instead of 2
Bottle=10 (x+x+x=30....3x=30...x=10)
Burger=5 (10+2x=20...2x=10...x=5)
Beers=2 (5+2x=9...2x=4...x=2)
5+(only one beer=1)*10

2. If you're lucky enough to pick both of them for one measure, you'd see a big difference. But you'd need to know it's a big difference, which is only possible with one more measure.

That sounds fun as fuck
>>160448767
Same as >>160448675 but I didn't account for being able to tell the difference between weighing a heavy and light ball and weighting one of those with a normal ball.
>>160448785
Retard who forgot that you always multiply before you add
>>160448488
There's one small variable though. Do they cancel each other out? Assuming they do not:
Divide into threes as before. This time, you cannot neglect to weigh the third trio. This requires three measures to figure out which trio is heaviest, which is lightest. You then weigh any two against each other. You have to do this three times, if both targets are in the same trio. This gives us six for guaranteed target identification. More if the weight differences came each other out.

50% you're either right or you're wrong lmao
>>160448836
I think that account matters but going back to >>160448675 that's not the minimum to guarantee it, which is what the question was asking
I agree that's the potential minimum if you get lucky while measuring 2 balls at a time, but that method's potential maximum is 36 choices of 2-ball pairs
>>160448672
Tips to the left? The ping pong ball isn't lighter than air so it doesn't elevate the left beaker, while the steel ball only displaces the water, but doesn't actually put any weight on the beaker.
>>160448672
To the right, because you splashed some water out as well as hit the bottom of the beaker, disrupting the equilibrium while dropping the ping-pong ball in.
>>160448942
The question isn't really clear on what 'minimum to guarantee' means.
>>160448920
Clever, but if the scale is 2 sided then you'd have to measure up to 6 times to get the weight order, no?
>>160448488
Divde into 4 1 4 weigh the groups of four against each-other if they are the same it is the one you held in reserve if not pick the lighter group and weigh two V two pick the lighter group and weigh them to get your answer.

You measure trios thrice, then thrice for a trio where both target balls were in(total 6). If they were in separate trios, you only need to measure once inside each of the two trios, to identify the target balls(total 5). So six is the absolute guarantee.
ITT: Mexicans that can't solve basic math
>>160449262
Or to put it another way, divide into trios A, B, C. You have to compare all 3 in order to guarantee that you have the lightest and heaviest trios(assuming targets do not neutralize each other).
If both are in the same trio, we now divide them into individuals 1, 2, 3. You have to weigh all of them against one another to identify which is heaviest, which is lightest. Total of 6 measures.
If both are in separate trios, you can go back to the original solution, where you take any two from a trio, and the odd man out is your target. This requires five total. So accounting for the worst case scenario, six is the answer to guarantee.
>>160448672
It tips to the right, buoyancy force acts on an object regardless of it's density and since that is true then for our purposes it doesn't matter what the ball is made of they both have the same buoyant force one ball is attached to the beaker meaning the force is locked in the vessel like blowing a fan at your own sail but the other is hung into the beaker meaning that there is slightly less tension on the string holding it up and more force on the right hand beaker forcing it downward.
>>160449556
Ah I forgot to add;
The ping-pong ball adds to the weight of the left hand beaker but it's weight is less than the buoyant force which we know because it clearly wants to float meaning the other side still wins.

Buoyant force would pull the right beaker up, wouldn't it?
>its another layton thread

Like flies to the shit...
>>160449998
If it did every ship in the sea would sink.
It pushes up on the steel ball and equal and opposite pushes down on the water beaker and scale.
>>160449998
Think about it this way, what if the glasses were filled with mercury on which steel balls float. The answer would be patently obvious because the steel ball would float to the surface the string would slack and weigh down the cup. The only difference here is that the buoyancy force isn't enough to make it float. It doesn't mean that it isn't there. If you attached a scale to the string you would notice the difference.
