How retarded is /b/?
One brick is one kilogram and half a brick heavy. What is the weight of one brick?
one kilogram and a half
3 feet
>>727534412
Fucking retard.
2 kgs OP.
>>727534412
damn nigga u really stupid
>>727534328
2 kilogram
/pol/ is always right
>>727534498
pls explain I can't understand
>>727534328
2kg
1 meter
Weight(n) = 1 + Weight(n/2)
>>727534577
*and a half

b=b/2+1kg -b/2
b/2=1kg *2
b=2kg
>>727534564
Alright. So we have one brick. And the brick is one kilogram + the remaining amount. In this case, the remaining amount is half of the brick, meaning that the other half of the brick is already there (the 1kg). So half a brick (1kg) + half a brick (1kg) is one complete brick (2kg).
Easy, but nice riddle OP.
>>727534564
it contains half a brick but its actual weight is 1kg
>>727534328
b = 1 + ((1/2)b)
-((1/2)b) + b = 1
((1/2)b) = 1
b = 2

fucking autists, if one full brick weights 1 kg then half brick is 0,5 kg so the total is 1,5 kg not 2 kg for fuck's sake
>>727534840
autists are actually more intelligent than normal humans, Its their superpower
>>727534328
1kg + half a brick?
What the fuck. Reevaluate your life choices, because thats just fucking deplorable.
Faggot.

Infinite
If one brick is 1kg and as heavy as half a brick, the one brick becomes 2kg.
Now that one brick is 2kg and as heavy as half a brick, it then becomes 4kg etc etc.
>>727534328
One brick
>>727534840
Are you fucking retarded? You just said
>one full brick weighs 1kg
>so the answer is 1.5
are you actually fucking mentally ill
>>727534328
1.65kg
You're all nigggers. Lololololl
>tits
brickweight = 1kg + brickweight/2
brickweight - brickweight/2 = 1kg
brickweight/2 = 1kg
brickweight = 2kg
>>727535244
but the post says that a brick weighs one kilogram and a half

You are a fucking retard
Unless the brick has irregular mass it weighs 2 kg. One half of the brick being unknown entails the listed weight would also be one half. Its as simple as it seems at first glance. Double the listed weight.

1kg * 9.81 = 9.81N

>x = 1 + x/2
>if x = 2
>2 = 1 + 2/2
>2 = 1 + 1
>2 = 2
>>727534840
Read again you fucking autist.
One kilogram PLUS half a brick.
Half a brick is 50% of the weight, one kilogram therefore must be the other 50%. So if one kilogram is 50%, multiply by 2 to get the the 100% weight, therefore the answer 2kg.
Tards the answer is 0.6 reacurring
>>727535244
brickweight - brickweight/2 = brickweight/2
what?!
x = 1 + x/2
x - x/2 = 1
0 = 1
undefined
And why is that? The text says, x is 1 more than half of x, which is illogical in itself. The whole thing doesn't even make sense

One kilogram. You literally said "One brick is one kilogram"
>>727536055
Weight isn't measured in kilograms, it is measured in Newtons. 2kg is a mass.
>>727536141
You literally only read half the sentence.

(samefagging)
except when we say x=2 i guess
2 kilogram

We can ignore the "half a brick heavy" part of the question. Just figure out the weight from "The brick is 1 Kg". Mass * Gravitational constant = Weight. So the weight is 9.81 Newtons.
Fuck off with you kilograms.
This is merica.
We need Oz and Lbs

Newton is a measure of force, faggot

>mfw all these autists assuming the brick is Euclidean and therefore must be 2
>mfw it's 1.5
>>727536179
Actually one brick is one kilogram which means 1 kg is the mass. Now for it to say that this particular brick is half as heavy as a brick, we assume that normally on earth one brick is 9.8 N weight. Thus this brick weighs 4.9 N
>>727536493
atleast make the m capital you grammer cuck
>>727534328
One brick is double heavy.
Red brick

About five pounds.

b = 1 + 0.5*b
>x = 1*x
1*b = 1 + 0.5*b
>1 = 0.5 + 0.5
(0.5 + 0.5)*b = 1 + 0.5*b
>(x+z)*y = x*y + z*y
0.5*b + 0.5*b = 1 + 0.5*b
>x = y implies x - z = y - z
0.5*b + 0.5*b - 0.5*b = 1 + 0.5*b - 0.5*b
>x - x = 0
0.5*b + 0 = 1 + 0
>x + 0 = x
0.5*b = 1
>x = y implies 2*x = 2*y
2*0.5*b = 2*1
>x*y*z = (x*y)*z = x*(y*z)
(2*0.5)*b = 2*1
>2*0.5 = 1
1*b = 2*1
>x = 1*x
b = 2
A brick weighs 2 kilograms.

You are assuming that you can manipulate your equation in this way without proving you can. 5/10

He wasn't disputing that. Weight is a force.
