Falcon_S Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Two groups of planes. Fly and meet. Group leaders begin talking. :argue: - The leader of the first group says: "Give us one of your aircraft and we will have the same number of aircraft as you!" - The leader of the second group response: "No! Give us one of your planes and we will be numerically twice stronger!" How many planes have each group??? :unsure: Quote Немој ништа силом, узми већи чекић!

blackbelter Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Are you so bored man... The answer is 5:7. You can either solve it by setting up a group of equations, or by observing that the total number of planes is of the form 2*3*x, with 3x - 2x=2. So on and so forth...

upupandaway Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It´s a fairly easy math excercise, but this thread still makes more sense for passing the time until release of the next modules than most other ways to be encountered on this forum...

Falcon_S Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 In Wags sig: "Warning: Prolonged customer exposure to flights simulations may cause tourette syndrome."

NRG-Vampire Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I have another interesting question: How fast would a 6.0 m-long sports car have to be going past you in order for it to appear only 5.5 m long? im not sure if i understand your question but if you ask how fast then it's easy 6/5.5 = 1.090909... so it needs to be 9.09 % faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbelter Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 im not sure if i understand your question but if you ask how fast then it's easy 6/5.5 = 1.090909... so it needs to be 9.09 % faster I think he is asking a question of special relativity (length contration along direction of motion)...

Aginor Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Yep. The answer must be something like 30% the speed of light, roughly. EDIT: I did the math, it is 40% speed of light. (~120000 km/s) EDIT2: Also: http://xkcd.com/1125/ :D EDIT3: LOL, there is also the easy way.
