Push 0 #31 February 6, 2003 Here are some methods of proof for ya: Proof by Simple Example Proof by Complex Diagram Proof by Intimidating Symbols Proof by Violent Gesturing Proof by Homework Assignment Here's an entertaining proof for ya: Theorem: There are no boring numbers. Proof: Assume interesting numbers are finite (all non-interesting numbers are boring). Then there is a largest interesting number. Let N be that number. Consider N + 1. This number is the first non-interesting number, which is pretty damn interesting. Contradiction, QED. (c) mathNews at my uni. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

rmcvey 0 #32 February 6, 2003 A Farmer has a chicken, a bag of grain and a fox. He has to get all three across the other side of a river in a canoe. He can only take one thing at a time. If he leaves certain things together, i.e. the chicken and the fox, the chicken will get eaten. Same goes for the chicken and the grain. How does he get all three across the river??

Push 0 #33 February 6, 2003 Take the chicken, bring it to the other shore. Go back, take the grain. Go to the other shore, put the grain down, pick up the chicken (I'm assuming the farmer can control the chicken). Go back, swap the chicken for the fox. Put the fox on the other shore and return for the chicken. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

SpeedRacer 1 #34 February 6, 2003 OK, take the chicken across. Then go back and get the grain and bring the grain across, and grab the chicken. Bring the chicken back, and grab the fox. Bring the fox across & put it with the grain. Then go back and get the chicken. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
