The Everyone's Welcome Thread (even Canadians, SEO experts, and oldies..you get the idea).

[DU]

I thought I'd start a new break room thread. The great thing about this thread is you can say whatever the heck you want (except adult) and it's ON TOPIC.

All you have to do is post whatever is in your head when you are here. Simple.

Here are some acronyms we like to use:

YPSBT Your Post Sucks Big Time
YPITDB Your post is the dog's bollox
LPOD - Last Post of Day
FPOD - First....
SPOD - Second.
FPOTWN - Funny Post of the Week Nominee

Grace Delete / DefaultUser / WorldsWorstDomainer will personally thank EVERY SINGLE post in this thread UNTIL someone says something about post count and gets too obsessed about reputations and starts gaming the system etc.

^ That has happened so no more ...was fun while it lasted.

Johname will personally LIKE every post in this thread until he doesn't

No racist, sexist, homophobic material that woudnt be acceptable in the 70s please.
We are ok with boobs and we are ok with men with abs (or whatever it is that makes them attractive). Ogling is healthy. Violence, not accepting that it is shallow and non-meaninful judge of people etc. is not. The most important virtue of this thread is respect for all.

Here are some topics that this thread has had:

The following subjects are
BANNED

So Kardashian related material is not allowed - even gratuitous boobs or bums because no one wants to see or hear about them.

POLITICS OF ANY KIND IS A NO NO.
Especially if it is demeaning to the liberal elite or the conservative morons.

I suppose Anarchy is ok

I AM PERSONALLY UNDECIDED ON SOME POLITICS so things like the below?
I think the crowd should decide.

We are also lady and animal friendly

Lets put some of the maths geeks thinking a little. This one's really easy... it's like shelling peas.

The answer is 96.

It's a summation: ∑(2i+5), from i = 0 to x where x is the first number minus one.

I know my maths.

so thats 96?

Yes.

 

[DU]

The answer is 96.

I know my maths.


Yes.

I could say the answer is 200 because the variable "8" = 100 and the variable "11"=100 as well.
You can't randomly assign formula where there are none.
What is and where did "i" come from?

Where is there any indication these equations are in some way related?

Assuming the question is solve for ? the answer to 8+11=? can only be 19 (in base 10).

What's the answer to 1 + 1 = ?

Random? It is the exact expression that matches the pattern. Given any x, it solves it correctly every time. It comes from the relationship between all parts of information provided in the image.

What is and where did "i" come from?

Learn: Summation notation.

Assuming the question is solve for ? the answer to 8+11=? can only be 19 (in base 10).

I thought you were being funny before when you wrote 8+11 = 19 (base 10), which it does by itself, but it does not in this problem given the other constraints.

In this problem, you must find the pattern. These types of questions appear on all standardized tests in the U.S.

What's the answer to 1 + 1 = ?

This has no relevance to this problem or its pattern.

 

[domainventure]

I can understand Equation Obfustication. However, are we reading more into it than needed?

The sums of Line #2 and Line # 3 are clear. Add the Sum to the previous line Sum

So extending that, shouldn't it be 40 as CY has suggested as well?

$20 to the first person who figures this out by 12:01am EST on 9/29/2016.

1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 6
1 + 3 = 9
1 + 4 = 12

Edit: It appears everyone is away so I extended the contest.

 

[Addison]

It's 40.

It's not 40. There is a pattern to the first three equations, and you must use that pattern to find the fourth, which is out of sequence.

This is what you did wrong:

     1 +  4 =  5
 5 + 2 +  5 = 12
12 + 3 +  6 = 21
21 + 8 + 11 = 40 (wrong)

The first three lines are correct, and if you continue doing that, you'll arrive at the correct answer.

@Addison

Figure out the problem I created. If you can't... maybe you shouldn't be trying to educate me on math.

It's usually a good idea to learn math before trying to create your own.

Create a problem worth solving, and I'll be happy to do it.

I did. Lacking an answer doesn't deem a problem unworthy. All you have to do is tell me why my math is sound and what the link is for each problem. That's all. Easy peazy.

 

[GILSAN]

Only 2 people got it right: @hn and @Addison
Answer=96

This is how I do it;
Line 1: 1x4=4 + 1=5
Line 2: 2x5=10 + 2=12
Line 3: 3x6=18 + 3=21
Line 4: 8x11=88 + 8=96

Maybe it's not the correct formula as Addison uses... but it gets you the same results.

Lets put some of the maths geeks thinking a little. This one's really easy... it's like shelling peas.

I can see it both ways depending on how you look at it. Simpler to say xy + x, where x is the first number in the equation.

Yep... that's the simple way of explaining it, but... don't forget that a lot of people don't understand formulas, even if they look simple.

the answer to all your questions is

42

didn,t you know ?

 

[Kenny]

A simple answer for a simple mind.
I only passed Alg 1 because the coaches talked the teacher into giving me a D.
Cheerleaders did our homework.
We took classes like American Lit. Through Film where we analyzed Citizen Kane and Rebel Without A Cause.
Things were different back then.

Random? It is the exact expression that matches the pattern. Given any x, it solves it correctly every time. It comes from the relationship between all parts of information provided in the image.

You have been given 4 statements. There is NO indication of a relationship.
1 + 4 = 5
2 + 5 = 12
3 + 6 = 21
8 + 11 = ?

Who claimed anything about 4 + 7 ?
The mathematical/logical reality here is that statements 1,2,3 are false.
If we want to make up patterns we could could use to set the correct value of "?" ?

The answer could be anything other than 19 as that's going to work too (and is arguably more correct)!

? = ^ (a+b)

The solution is of 96 is made up of an undocumented premise and relationship that is not written anywhere. You've come up with an equation that is true for the first three but so what?

What if I said the answer is 96 but ? because there's a pattern!

Take away the second number and multiply the first by increasing numbers...

1x5 +4-4 = 5
2x6 + 5-5 = 12
3x7 + 6-6 = 21
8x12 +11-11 = 96

a x (a+5) - b

We don't know what b is until it's written down but who cares? It's non deterministic!

The correct formula is also :

a x (a+4) and the variables 4,5,6,11 are all =0!

Yay. Look how smart we are... four answers already! (Three of which are wrong)

Summation notation.

I know what 'i' is. I just wanted to know where you invented the constraint that i = 0 to x?

I thought you were being funny before when you wrote 8+11 = 19 (base 10), which it does by itself, but it does not in this problem given the other constraints.

That's the thing. There are no other constraints. Now you get it!

You've got a limited series of falsehoods unless those numbers are variables in which case you don't have enough information. What is the answer to the case where just using your equation alone:

∑(2i+5), from i = 0 to x where x is the first number minus one.

Where I give you the one constraint that your need - the first number is 4. What is then the second number? That's right... the second number is irrelevant... it's obviously 0 as I mentioned before.. so maybe it's all the same nonsense?!

In this problem, you must find the pattern. These types of questions appear on all standardized tests in the U.S.

No. In this problem countless thousands of people waste brain matter not understanding the basics of logic and mathematics and try and explain complete nonsense.

You're close actually. Will admit I'm impressed. Can you explain what you mean though? Ether you're slightly off and I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
