medal to the first answer plus fan If 1/2 of 5 is 3, then what is 1/3 of 10?

OpenStudy (bibby):

looks like they're rounding to the nearest 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 4

OpenStudy (bibby):

I would guess 3 because you're not sure they're automatically rounding up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i answerd this question in 20.3 seconds and i got it right and i wanted to see who els could

OpenStudy (bibby):

whoa you're cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no far from

OpenStudy (bibby):

well you're welcome at the cool kids table tomorrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i already sit at the cool kids table so infact it would be me welcoming u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is guess u are out of highschool?

OpenStudy (bibby):

so the answer 4 was marked correct?

OpenStudy (bibby):

yeah, I'm in college.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was 4

OpenStudy (bibby):

I dislike that question

OpenStudy (bibby):

I shouldn't have to guess it was the ceiling function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol makes sense it is asked in a different way then it would have normally been put so thats probably what stumped u at first

OpenStudy (bibby):

you're really reassuring. thank you :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well its my job so i would hope i am

OpenStudy (bibby):

I don't pay you enough for this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well u dont have to pay me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no one should have to be paid to be polite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bibby heres one for u Question: If you randomly choose one of the following answers to this question, what is your chance of getting it right? A) 50% B) 25% C) 0% D) 25%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They did half of 5 + 1/3 * 10 and rounded to the lowest number, is not it?

OpenStudy (bibby):

D? oh god I'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0%. No matter which answer you choose you are incorrect. All of the answers create a logic loop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your D and B are the same.

OpenStudy (bibby):

this site isn't mathematical or logical.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are supposed to be the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres an easier one : What number do you get when you multiply all of the numbers on a telephone's number pad?

OpenStudy (bibby):

0

OpenStudy (bibby):

are you doing these out of boredom during break?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A claustrophobic person gets on a train. The train enters a tunnel just as it is leaving the station. Where is the best place for him to sit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you people not in Christmas break?

OpenStudy (bibby):

I finished my last final yesterday, but I started school a bit later than most

OpenStudy (anonymous):

congratulations

OpenStudy (bibby):

what was the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The train will be accelerating so it will be going faster when the back of the train enters the tunnel so a person in the back will spend less time in the tunnel.

OpenStudy (bibby):

congrats, dude in the example. I'm sure that 1 second you saved was worth it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahah im not quit sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quite*

OpenStudy (bibby):

you'd do better with a book dedicated to brainteasers, a lot of these are subjective or arbitrary

OpenStudy (bibby):

sadly I d on't have any to recommend

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am a good problem solver that is all

OpenStudy (bibby):

how'd you know how to do the original one? it was either \(\lceil 3.333 \rceil =4\) or 3.3333=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk to tell u the truth i looked at the problem and some number went threw my head and 4 poped in

OpenStudy (bibby):

problem solving :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a very quick respponse to stuff like that beacuse again my job is to act on the spot

OpenStudy (bibby):

what do you do? Your job is to both be nice and act quickly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im a mom lol

OpenStudy (bibby):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i must admit my job requiers more then quick response and to be nice tho lol

OpenStudy (bibby):

big man, you think you're tough because you can cook and change a diaper? I'm about to change the diaper I'm wearing and make me a cup of instant noodles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no lol i think im tough cause i can cook change a diaper work on graduating highschool and hold a job with out the help of a big man lol

OpenStudy (bibby):

you have to admit, it'd help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to have a man?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes it would very much help but i'm not going to beg for one because when my little boy grows up and becomes something incredible and dose great things i have the ability to say i did that, i made that man what he is today on my own

OpenStudy (bibby):

that's kinda rude, your boy deserves some of the credit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he can have credit for what he dose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i will never in my life say my son became a great man because his father. i would give my life for that kid and he knows that and thats all that matters

OpenStudy (bibby):

he has some of his genes it's not 100% nature or 100% nurture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he has his fathers eyes and im sure he will be tall like him but he will have my kind heart and my respect and my patients and he will be a real man when he grows up not a coward like his father

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol this chat..........

OpenStudy (bibby):

my mother used to say that you have your father's eyes she'd spit on me and berate me I'm in a better place now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (bibby):
