Tree Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 You are on a ship, over the side hangs a rope ladder with half metre rungs. The tide rises a half metre per hour. At the end of five hours, how much of the ladder will remain above the water assuming that nine rungs were above the water when the tide began to rise?

Tree Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Trying to get some hard ones up...but you guys are too good! Sally and her younger brother were fighting. Their mother was tired of the fighting, and decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way that they couldn't touch each other. How did she accomplish this?

perceptualChaos Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 You're on a gameshow and there are three keys to rooms in which ONE of these has a million dollars inside it. You get to choose 1 key only and upon chosing that key the gameshow host tells you that one of the other rooms does NOT have the money inside it and offers you the choice to stay with the room you chose or to chose a different one. What do you chose and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Known One Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The one you have chosen has a 50% chance of being the right one... where as the other two have a 33% chance... so the one you already picked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignition Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The one you have chosen has a 50% chance of being the right one... where as the other two have a 33% chance... so the one you already picked Isn't there a 50% chance for either room? Because one of the rooms definitely doesn't have it which leaves two possible rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtone Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The one you have chosen has a 50% chance of being the right one... where as the other two have a 33% chance... so the one you already picked but its not 33% because the situation has changed since u made that calculation.

Because one of the rooms definitely doesn't have it which leaves two possible rooms? It would be if you knew exactly which room didn't have it... but you don't... you know that one of two rooms doesn't. So... A B C.. A or B doesn't have it... but you don't know which So if you choose C, its a 50% chance because its either C or one out of A/B If you choose A, you don't know B doesn't have it, and you don't know C doesn't have it... so it's a 33% chance it's right. And plus, when it doubt... choose C. Works for multi choice exams, so it should work here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
