There were two twins. One of them was sleeping 8 hours a day, and the other one was sleeping 6 hours a day, every day.
They were living like this until they turned 72 years old.
How many years did each of them spend sleeping?
Answer: 24 and 18 years.
The first one was sleeping 8 hours a day, so he was sleeping 1/3 of his life, so in total he was sleeping 72/3 = 24 years.
The second one was sleeping 6 hours a day, so he was sleeping 1/4 of his life, so in total he was sleeping 72/4 = 18 years.

I don’t know when I was going to write about our upcoming trip to Latin America, but I have been spending the morning reading other people’s travel blogs to Mexico, Central, and South America and I am getting so excited! So I guess I will spill the beans… David and I are planning on a year-ish long trip to South America and back!
We’ve always wanted to do some kind of adventurous long trip, but as we’ve gotten older and more established it’s felt like more of a distant dream. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago when David brought up the idea of selling everything and travelling for a year. At first I was skeptical of his enthusiasm. We’ve entertained ideas like this before, but in the end nothing ever came of it. But this time was different, David was really serious about doing it. He begged the question for weeks. I always have fun entertaining the idea… how fun would it be to go travel, it’s my favorite thing! This time I realized he was very serious about the idea.
As much as I love to travel, to be honest, I was secretly hoping David would get over his itch to jump ship and travel the world. We’ve been planning on having kids soon, we’re both doing well in our careers, and we were probably going to buy a house in a year. And as much as I would love to travel for a year, I was getting used to our routine of a ten day trip once a year mixed with sprinkles of little trips in our free time. But David didn’t get over the idea, and then I started to really give it some serious thought. That’s when the idea blossomed for me. I started thinking about where I would want to go. I’ve always wanted to go to South America. I started looking at pictures of places we would go. I also started looking at guns that we could take with us to go hunting in South America, Click Here to see the scope I got for my gun. With a year, we could see ALL of them. I was getting excited. I still had my reservations, but now I wanted this trip too!
We decided we would live out of a car and drive to South America. We learned this form of travel is called overlanding. The idea to travel for a year was born in February. It’s been 8 weeks since then, and during that time we have: bought a Toyota Landcruiser, swapped out its engine for a new one, subscribed to Rosetta Stone, picked the major places we want to go, planned out a route, and set out a timeline. There’s so many other things left to do before we leave like: turn the Landcruiser into our home on wheels, get our medical stuff in gear like immunizations and Lasix, get Moby’s stuff in order, buy international health and auto insurance, sell all of our stuff including the cars, decide what we want to keep, sort out the important details of the trip like shipping the car from Panama to Colombia, make a budget, buy whatever gear we need, and so many other things we’re probably missing. At times it gets overwhelming because we still both work full time, David is in the beginning stages of launching an app he’s been developing for nearly four years now, the car needs a lot of work before it’s live in ready, this will be our first overlanding experience (albeit in some third world countries), we don’t speak Spanish, and we only have 18 weeks left before we hit the road.
We meet our first corrupt Mexican police!

A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

The ERJ Brainiac of the Year Awards 2018 have been decided using a formula in which points were awarded for each correct answer, special mention and helpful and/or amusing email sent in during the year, with extra bonus points going to our Brainiac of the Month winners.
Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan.
Joint winners John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; and David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France.
Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany – the first ever ERJ Brainiac of the Year.
List of Brainteaser questions over the past couple of months, along with the answers and readers supplying correct replies. The number of correct answers, as well as speed and quality of reply will help decide the Brainiac of the Month.
At a petrochemicals site, a giant storage tank has four feed-in pipelines. The first can fill the entire tanker in two days, the second – in three days, the third – in four days, and the last one can fill the tank in 6 hours. How long will it take to fill the tank using all four pipelines together?
Answer: A few readers got stuck on this one but most correctly worked the answer out at 4 hours 43 minutes and 17 seconds – as nicely shown in Jose Padron’s table below.
Frédéric Chopin (composer and pianist); Guglielmo Marconi (radio communications pioneer); John Paul II (pope); Cristiano Ronaldo (footballer). Then during the week, we added: John Lennon (pop star); Marco Polo (explorer)… ‘but not Bill and Hilary Clinton’.
Answer: They all have airports named after them. However, extra well done to Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld for noticing – from our final clue on Thursday – that the precise answer was ‘international airports’.
Bonus question: This posed fewer problems – the binary code 11111111 in hexadecimal code is FF.
Congratulations to this week’s high-flyers: John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, US; Andrew Beasley, product analyst, Hankook Tyre UK Ltd, UK; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan.
Alan was 1 year old when his pet dog Spot was born. When Alan was 8, he was twice as old as his little sister Bernie. Their second dog Timmy was born when Bernie was 2 years old. Bernie is now two thirds the age of Alan, and Timmy is three times as old as the family cat Felix. Can you work out how old the children, dogs, and cat are now?
Andrew Beasley of Hankook Tyre UK, our new Brainiac of the Month.
A latex products manufacturer states that 95% of its low-cost balloons will not burst when inflated. Barry has bought a packet of 20 of these bargain balloons to blow up for a birthday party. Find the probability that: a) none of the balloons burst when blown up; and b) that exactly two balloons burst.
Answer: November ends not quite with a bang, as relatively few readers were able to resolve this binomial distribution question in which the probability of none of the balloons bursting was 0.358485922; and that exactly two balloons burst was 0.188676801.
So extra well done to: Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Bharat B Sharma, Sr VP product development & technical service (elastomers), Reliance Industries Ltd, Gujarat, India; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan.
A truck is twice as old as its engine was when the truck was as old as the engine is now. Adding the age of the truck and engine gives a total of 21 years. How old is the engine, and how old is the truck?
Answer: Maybe not such a tricky truck but still required some working out, as shown by Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld: T = 2(2E – T) and T + E = 21, where with T = age of truck and E = age of engine. Equation a: T = 2(2E – T) => 3T = 4E. Equation b: T + E = 21 => 3T + 3E = 63. Therefore, a.+b. => 4E + 3E = 63 => E = 9 (resp. T = 12). Truck is 12 years old, the engine 9 years.
Well done to: John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany.
Well done, so, in order of answer-arrival to: David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Bharat B Sharma, Sr VP product development & technical service (elastomers), Reliance Industries Ltd, Gujarat, India; Michele Girardi, quality manager, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK.
Can you complete this tricky sports sequence:?
France 4; Germany 1; _; _; _. (Each day during the week we added correct countries/numbers to the sequence).
Answer: A nice easy one to start off the week – or so we thought. Amazingly, there was only one correct reply to this Brainteaser, and that came in first thing on Monday morning. Extra well done to Andrew Beasley, product analyst, Hankook Tyre UK Ltd, UK, who recognised straight away that this was a sequence of countries to win the last five football World Cups, and the number of goals they scored in the final.
Come on other Brainiacs: you got to get out more!
A major rubber parts manufacturer recently held a company-wide chess competition, for which 60 employees entered. In the first round, every entrant played 6 matches each, each match with a different player. However, this meant that not everyone got to compete. What was the minimum number of people that had to back out if all participants played 6 matches only, and how many matches were played in the first phase?
Answer: The number of players that needed to back out was 4 and the number of matches was 168 – as per Bharat B Sharma’s tidy table below. Well done in order of answer-arrival to Bharat B Sharma, Sr VP product development & technical service (elastomers), Reliance Industries Ltd, Gujarat, India; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan, and everyone else who had a go.
Bharat B Sharma of Reliance Industries and Paul Knutson of Timken Belts, the new joint winners of our Brainiac of the Month title.
To celebrate his birthday, office manager Steve takes four colleagues to a local restaurant for lunch. As they sat down at a round table for five, PA Jane observed that everyone had taken their seat around the table in age order. What was the probability of that happening?
Answer: A range of nice replies in for this one: the trick was to factor in that they were seated at a round table, not in a straight line – as concisely shown by Yuichi (Joe) Sano: 1/4*1/3*1/2*2 = 1/12. Well done in order of reply to: John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc. Canada; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Bharat B Sharma, Sr VP product development & technical service (elastomers), Reliance Industries Ltd, Gujarat, India; Thierry Montcalm, R&D and innovation manager, Soucy Techno, Canada; Ralf Ortmayr, senior pricing analyst, Toyo Tire Europe GmbH, Willich, Germany.
At a school charity event, parents Alan, Brian and Charles are on a stall selling red, yellow and orange rubber ducks. Alan says: “Seven red ducks and five yellow ducks cost the same as six orange ones.” Ralph says, “Four red ducks and nine orange ducks cost the same as five yellow ones.” Steve says, “Six orange ducks and three yellow ducks cost the same as four red ducks.” Who is lying…but who?
Answer: Trickier than it seemed, perhaps, as quite a few ducked out of this one. ‘Alan’ was the odd one out, as correctly answered by: John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK (see reply below); Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc. Canada; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Ralf Ortmayr, senior pricing analyst, Toyo Tire Europe GmbH, Willich, Germany. Well done to all.
Sustitution of 1 in 3 and 2 in 1 leads to negative [impossible] values but 3 in 2 gives positive results, so Brian and Charles are truthful, whereas Alan is not.
The janitor of a block flats, notices that the boiler pressure is rising, and will shortly explode. He phones two of the residents, tells them the news, asks them to do the same and phone just two more people, and then get out of the building. Assume that each of the residents is in, and answers the phone immediately. If each phone call takes 30 seconds, and it takes each person 90 seconds to get out of the building, how long will it take to empty all 375 flats?
Our regulator technician is, this week, tasked with testing out a new rubber garden hose. The trajectory of the water-jet from the hose is shown in the diagram. From the information provided, can you work out the speed of the water-jet and the range R.
Answer: V = 14 m/s and R = 17m (see below). Well done to everyone who had a go at this really tricky question, and especially to Bharat B Sharma, Sr VP product development & technical service (elastomers), Reliance Industries Ltd, Gujarat, India; and Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA, who were spot-on with their answers. Also close, or on the right track, were: John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH; and Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan.
This has been the toughest ever selection process, with some great answering from readers around the world, over the last four weeks. But most particularly for the clever way he tackled Question 2, our judges have chosen Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld of PHP Fibers as our new Brainiac of the Month award. Congratulations to a very worthy winner, and everyone one else who came close to the top award.
Question 4: Bikes or trikes?
A technician fits 74 tires on to a total of 32 bicycles and tricycles. How many of them are bicycles and how many are tricycles?
X9543Y represents a six-digit number in which X and Y are digits different from each other. The number can be divided by both 8 and 11. What digit does A represent?
Answer: No flies on our readers this week, as our Brainiacs – both new and established – worked out that the tires were fitted on 22 bicycles and 10 tricycles, while for the bonus question B is 2 and A is 7.
Well done to: Michael Easton, sales and marketing director, Globus Group, Manchester, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Aneta Skowron, kierownik zespołu handlu/ head of trade office, Zakłady Chemiczne Siarkopol Tarnobrzeg sp. z.o.o., Tarnobrzeg, Poland; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Jose Padron, Waterville TG Inc., Canada; Amparo Botella, Ismael Quesada SA, Spain; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc.

On a visit to a sheep farm, a school group all entered a shed where there were 20 more children than sheep as well as an ants display, with exactly 10 times as many ants as children. In total, including the teacher, the children, the sheep and the ants there were 1,440 legs in the shed. How many children were in the group.
Answer: This one wasn’t too baa’d, though we had a complaint (sadly) that there were only three sheep on display at the farm – a damning indictment, perhaps, of the current state of the farming industry and/or our education system. Also liked the suggestion that there might be at least one fly in the shed.
Well done to everyone who had a go, but leading in our international flock with the correct answer – 23 children – were: David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; Andrew Beasley, product analyst, Hankook Tyre UK Ltd (see table below), UK; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Jose Padron, Waterville TG Inc., Canada; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc.

Using only addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division, how close can you get to making 952 from the numbers 100, 75, 50, 25, 6 and 3? You can only use each of these numbers once.
Answer: Well done to everyone who had a go, especially those who got very close to the target total. But top marks to the following readers for working out that 952 could actually be reached, as per Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld’s table below: Amparo Botella, Ismael Quesada SA, Spain; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan. Bharat B Sharma, senior VP, product development & technical service (Elastomers), Reliance Industries Ltd,Vadodara, Gujarat, India.
Using four 4’s in each case, can you form all the numbers from 1 to 10 via addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division? Parentheses can be used and the 4’s combined to make numbers such as 44 or 444.
Answer: Lots of great replies. We havn’t space to show them all, so let’s go with the answers (below) from Michele Girardi and Ralf Ortmayr – even though Ralf takes a bit of mathematical-licence by also using square-root and factorial functions. A big well-done, in order of reply to: Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology,SI Group, Béthune, France; Amparo Botella, Ismael Quesada SA, Spain; Andrew Knox, Rubbond International, Ohé en Laak, The Netherlands; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Thierry Montcalm, R&D and innovation manager, Soucy Techno; Jose Padron, Waterville TG Inc., Canada; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Ralf Ortmayr, senior pricing analyst, Toyo Tire Europe GmbH, Willich, Germany.
2 = 4 −(4 + 4)÷ 4 = (44 + 4) ÷ 4!
4 = 4 + 4 ×(4 − 4) = −44 + 4! + 4!
What number is missing from the following series?
To keep fit, Frank liked to dash up the big circular staircase to his office on the third floor of the building. He goes up the steps 2, and sometimes 3, at a time but always finds 1 step left over when he gets to his landing. Indeed, Frank works out that no matter how many steps he is able to take at a time, there is always 1 step left over. How many steps are there on the stairs to Frank’s office, and what is the maximum number of steps Frank can take at a time.
Answers: Readers, it seemed, had little problem identifying 15 as the answer to the Missing Number question. However, the Out of Step teaser continued to generate alternative replies: but our judging panel’s ‘official’ answer is 61 steps and six at a time.
Let’s just move on and say a big well done to each of the following readers: Amparo Botella, Ismael Quesada SA, Spain; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; Andrew Knox, Rubbond International, Ohé en Laak, The Netherlands; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Jose Padron, Waterville TG Inc Canada; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc.

Quite a challenging teaser, so extremely well done to Jose Padron, materials development specialist, Waterville TG Inc., Waterville, Québec, Canada (see also his table below); and Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany. A special mention also – for getting most of the way along the street – to Andrew Knox of Rubbond International, Ohé en Laak, The Netherlands and Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan.
There are two identical bags. One bag has three green marbles and one white marble. The other has three white marbles and one green marble. After choosing a bag you draw one marble out at random. You notice it is green. You then put it back and draw another marble out of the same bag at random. What is the probability that the second marble drawn is green?

Two rubber tappers can each harvest the latex from a 3-acre section of plantation in 4 hours. How long will take them both to collect the rubber from a similar 5-acre section, if they work together and are joined by a trainee working at half their speed?
Answer: Bit of a tricky one, but as John Bowen concisely explained: Each tapper can tap 0.75 acre/hour, while the trainee can tap 0.375 acre/hour; working all together they can thus tap 1.875 acre/hour, so the time to tap 5 acres is 5/1.875 hours = 2.6667 hours, or 2 hours 40 minutes.

Some time ago one of our contestants phoned to say that he was planning a big party to celebrate winning the Brainiac of the Month award, asking: “Can you work out how many bottles of champagne I have in my fridge?” He then gave three clues: If the number of bottles of champagne I have: 1, is a multiple of 5, it is a number between 1 and 19; 2, is not a multiple of 8, it is a number between 20 and 29; 3, is not a multiple of 10, it is a number between 30 and 39. How many bottles of champagne did our exuberant reader have in his fridge?
Answer: As David Mann correctly explained the only number that meets the combination of conditions is 32 bottles of champagne (or maybe two Balthazars).
Correct answers flowed in, in the following order, from: Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; Andrew Beasley, product analyst, Hankook Tyre UK Ltd, UK: Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Stephen Fulton, R&D technology development manager, Umicore Specialty Materials Brugge NV, Brugge, Belgium; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan; Andrew Knox, Rubbond International, Ohé en Laak, The Netherlands; David Mann, manager rubber technology,SI Group Béthune, France; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc., Canada; Well done to all and everyone else who had a go!
There are 5 red counters and x blue counters in a bag. If 2 counters are taken out at random, the probability that both are red is 5/33. How many blue counters are in the bag?
Correct replies arrived in, in the following order, from: John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology,SI Group, Béthune, France; Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Suisio, Italy; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Stephen Fulton, R&D technology development manager, Umicore Specialty Materials Brugge NV, Brugge, Belgium; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan; Andrew Knox, Rubbond International, Ohé en Laak, The Netherlands; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; Thierry Montcalm, R&D and innovation manager Soucy Techno, Canada. Well done to all.
There are 10 factories producing off-road tires. The second factory produces twice as many as the first. The third and fourth each produce 80 more than the first. The fifth produces twice as many as the second. The sixth produces 40 more than the fifth. The seventh and eighth each produce 40 less than the fifth. The ninth produces 80 more than the second. The tenth produces nothing owing to a shortage of materials. If the sum of the production equals 11,700, what does the first factory produce?
Answer: Okay, the answer was straightforward – the first factory produces 500 tires – but readers came up with so many amazing ways of working this out. Well done to: Amparo Botella, Ismael Quesada S.A, Spain; David Mann, manager rubber technology, Béthune, France; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, UK; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany; Ralf Ortmayr, senior pricing analyst, Toyo Tire Europe GmbH, Willich, Germany; Paul Knutson, textile engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Thierry Montcalm, R&D and innovation manager, Soucy Techno, Canada; Jose Padron, spécialiste en développement de materiaux, Waterville TG Inc., Waterville, Québec, Canada; John Droogan, advanced polymers and composites, MegaChem (UK) Ltd, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, UK; Yuichi (Joe) Sano, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd, Itami, Japan; Randa Tharwat, import manager, Nacita, Cairo. Egypt; Stephen Fulton, R&D technology development manager, Umicore Specialty Materials Brugge NV, Brugge, Belgium; France Veillette, chef environnement, usine de Joliette, Bridgestone Canada Inc., Canada; Ian Brooker, HB Chemical Corp., Twinsburg, Ohio, USA.
First, we can put the question into a table “as is” to see what’s going on.
We can then simplify this further and then reverse it to solve for x, where y = the total tires produced by all factories.
y=23x+200 Therefore; x=(y-200)/23 In the case of this question: x=(11,700-200)/23 So x= 11,500/23 ie 500 – Well done!
How many living things (organisms) can you identify on the official flags of the 32 countries competing in the World Cup 2018 football finals in Russia?
Bonus question: How many of the countries that got through to the World Cup 2018 football finals have blue as a prominent colour on their official flags?
Answers: Some great replies to our first question but nobody could match the quality of the detailed answer provided by Jose Padron (see below). Unfortunately, no one spotted the trick element to our Bonus Question: blue is a prominent (okay ‘dominant’) colour on the Russian flag, but as host country it qualified automatically and so did not actually ‘get through’ to the World Cup finals. That left 13 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Columbia, Costa Rica, Croatia, France, Iceland, Panama, Russia, Serbia, South Korea, Sweden, Uruguay.
So well done to: Fatima Bhatti, Polymer Access (Pvt) Ltd, Karachi, Pakistan; John Bowen, consultant, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, UK; David Mann, manager rubber technology, SI Group, Béthune, France; Paul Knutson, textile, engineer, Timken Belts, Springfield, Missouri, USA; Ian Brooker, HB Chemical Corp., Twinsburg, Ohio, USA; Hans-Bernd Lüchtefeld, market research & communication manager, PHP Fibers GmbH, Obernburg, Germany.

The diagram shows a quadrilateral JKLM. What is the size of angle KLM?
Answer: Angle KLM is 33.6954°, or as explained neatly by John Bowen: length MK = Sq Rt[4.5*4.5] + [7*7] =8.32, so Sin KLM =8.32/14 =0.55478 so KLM = 34deg [approx].

When were calories first discovered and when did people start caring about them?
Answer: Calories were discovered in the 1800s. Small calories are a measurement of heat and large calories are a measurement of food.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Danish Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding that supports the continued cooperation regarding strategies and solutions for the development of offshore wind energy.
This agreement recognizes the shared common interest in developing offshore wind energy and reflects New York’s commitment to learn from Europe as an industry leader in offshore wind energy as a clean and sustainable energy source. The work and learning that will result from the state’s partnerships in this area will better enable New York to fulfill Governor Cuomo’s goal to obtain 50 percent of the state’s electricity from renewables by 2030, and his goal of 2,400 megawatts of new offshore wind generation by 2030.
Lars Christian Lilleholt, Denmark's Minister of Energy, Utilities and Climate said, "I am very proud that Denmark has signed an MOU with New York. We are delighted to share the lessons that we have learned over the years with NYSERDA. In our experience, offshore wind provides affordable, reliable and clean energy, while creating scores of jobs and growing the economy. I hope that our collaboration will help New York to develop its abundant offshore wind energy resources."
Under the agreement, NYSERDA, which is leading the development of offshore wind on behalf of the State, and the Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate will work to exchange expertise and knowledge in the development of offshore wind energy, including areas such as infrastructure, supply chain, workforce development, and procurement solutions. This collaborative partnership will build upon the foundation of the New York State Offshore Wind Master Plan, which was released earlier this year by Governor Cuomo and will guide the state in the responsible and cost-effective development of offshore wind.
Alicia Barton, President and CEO, NYSERDA said, “Today’s signing is another major step forward in Governor Cuomo’s relentless commitment to bringing clean renewable energy for all residents of New York State. New York has all of the assets required to become a global hub for this emerging industry; through this collaboration, we can take the lessons learned from Europe to ensure the cost-effective and robust development of this environmentally and economically beneficial resource."
Denmark is one of the leading offshore wind energy producers in Europe with the third largest market for offshore wind. With world leading offshore wind industry and workforce capabilities, Denmark boasts expertise within all aspects of the offshore wind supply chain, including wind turbine producers, development and manufacturing of offshore wind farms, and maintenance.
Offshore wind energy is poised to become a major source of affordable, renewable power for New York State. Meeting New York’s 2030 offshore wind goals will result in supplying 2,400 megawatts of clean power for the State, enough to power 1.2 million homes.

Thanks for fixing them. Psst, next time, you can just click 'edit' and add them there. Off to update list now.
Luckk - your picture is 1000x700. You wouldn't happen to have an uncropped version to resubmit (1000 x 750), would you?
Ah, just edited my post with the original, uncropped screenshot.
Luckk, the picture MUST be 1000x750 as stated in the rules. I asked if you had uncropped so you could then crop to the correct size rather than trying to resize and distort what you had. Sorry for the confusion.
Okay, I figured out what was wrong. The first picture was accidentally 1000x700 rather than 1000x750 (Don't know how I missed that). When you asked for the uncropped I thought you meant the original. I never resized anything. Sorry for that. It has been fixed.

Fun fun fun! I love it!
I can't wait to see everyone else's pics - they're all beautiful so far!
You've taken some amazing pictures everybody ^.^ Well done!
Well, I've got a couple of nice screens. Might as well try my hand at this.
I want to say... March.
Dang it, Cactusimotion! That's VERY similar to an idea I had planned for November.

Very useful the instructions and the interaction with the staff.
Bed was comfy, large studio, clean, and hard wood floors were nice. Kitchen and the washing machine will save you money! Great location!! The complimentary taxi helped after a long day of travel!!!
Very useful the instructions and the interaction with the staff.

Two taps can fill a tank in 12 and 18 minutes respectively. Both are kept open for 2 minutes and the first is turned off. In how many minutes more will the tank be filled?
since part of tank is filled by second tap in 1min.
∴ part of tank is filled by second tap in 1 min.
Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 10 and 15 minutes respectively. Both fill pipes are opened together, but at the end of 3 minutes, ‘B’ is turned off. How much time will the cistern take to fill?
since part filled by A in one min.
∴ Total time = 3 + 5 = 8 min.
Two fill pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 12 and 16 minutes respectively. Both fill pipes are opened together, but 4 minutes before the cistern is full, one pipe A is closed. How much time will the cistern take to fill?
Two fill taps A and B can separately fill a cistern in 45 and 40 minutes respectively. They started to fill a cistern together but tap A is turned off after few minutes and tap B fills the rest part of cistern in 23 minutes. After how many minutes, was tap A turned-off?
Three fill pipes A, B and C can fill separately a cistern in 3, 4 and 6 minutes respectively. A was opened first. After 1 minute, B was opened and after 2 minutes from the start of A, C was also opened. Find the time when the cistern will be full?
Now, it is the turn of A and B and 3/20 part is filled by A and B in 1 hour.
= (6 + 1) hrs = 7 hrs.
Let cold pipe take X minutes, then hot pipe will take (X + 3) minutes.
Two pipes P and Q would filled a cistern in 24 hours and 32 hours respectively . If both pipes are opened together, find when the first pipe must be turned off so that the cistern may be just filled in 16 hours?
Suppose the first pipe was closed after x hrs.
∴ x = 12 hrs.
If two pipes function simultaneously, the reservoir is filled in 12 hrs. One pipe fills the reservoir 10 hrs faster than the other .How many hours does the faster pipe take to fill the reservoir?
Let the faster pipe fills the tank in x hrs.
Then the slower pipe fills the tank in x + 10 hrs.
But x can’t be – ve, hence the faster pipe will fill the reservoir in 20 hrs.
A cistern has two taps (which fill it in 12 min and 15 min, respectively) and an exhaust tap. When all three taps are opened together, it takes 20 min to fill the empty cistern. How long will the exhaust tap take to empty it?
Let the exhaust tap empties the tank in x minutes.
Hence, both tap will fill the cistern in 6 hours.
Tap ‘A’ can fill a water tank in 25 minutes, tap ‘B’ can fill the same tank in 40 minutes and tap ‘C’ can empty that tank in 30 minutes. If all the three taps are opened together, in how many minutes will the tank be completely filled up or emptied?
A water tank is ⅖th full. Pipe A can fill the tank in 10 minutes and the pipe B can empty it in 6 minutes. If both the pipes are open, how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?
A tap can fill a tank in 16 minutes and another can empty it in 8 minutes. If the tank is already 1/2 full and both the taps are opened together, will the tank be filled or emptied? How long will it take before the tank is either filled or emptied completely as the case may be?
⇒ ½ tank will be emptied in 8 min.
A pipe can fill a tank in 15 minutes and another one in 10 minutes. A third pipe can empty the tank in 5 minutes. The first two pipes are kept open for 4 minutes in the beginning and then the third pipe is also opened. In what time will the tank be emptied?
= ⅔rd of the tank.
i.e. 1/30 tank is emptied in 1 min.
A, B, C are pipes attached to a cistern. A and B can fill it in 20 and 30 minutes, respectively, while C can empty it in 15 minutes, If A, B and C be kept open successively for 1 minute each, how soon will the cistern be filled?
Now, pipe A will fill 1/20 of the cistern in next 1 minute.
Now, Inlet pipe fill the tank in 9 hours and outlet pipe empty it in 6 hours.
When all the pipes are opened.
Hence, number of inlet pipes = 4.
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 15 hours and 20 hours respectively while a third pipe C can empty the full tank in 25 hours. All the three pipes are opened in the beginning. After 10 hours, C is closed. In how much time, will the tank be full?
∴ The tank will be full in (10 + 2) hrs = 12 hrs.

After a local art theft, six suspects were being interviewed.
Police know that exactly four of them told one lie each and all of the other statements are true.
Hint: If Alex had committed the crime, how many lies would there be?
Answer: Chris committed the crime.
If any other person had committed the crime there would not be exactly 4 lies told.

Now improve your productivity by upto 13% with Gridle!
A month ago, MobilT, a big-data startup that is revolutionizing the retail shopping industry and also one of the beneficiaries of free-startup-accounts of Gridle, came down to visit our office. While we were understanding their use-case for one of the case-studies that we are building, they mentioned that there is no way to measure productivity.
“I mean.. I can feel that we are working faster with Gridle and we are all on the same page; but that’s all english right! I want to know how faster am I working or how much is Gridle helping me.. that could really mean something” their chief of tech said.
At the epicenter of our every action/discussion/development/delivery is a mail, tweet or call from one of our users suggesting us something. The first thing we recalled after our meeting was a quote that hangs in our office.
What MobilT said actually made sense. If Gridle could identify in a tangible fashion as to how much are our users getting things done, it would help a lot. And that’s what we did!
A very basic yet accurate representation of individual performance, an idea around how productive they are and a little view into top three performers of the organization's team!
In a month’s time, all of us delivered something that looks like this.
How many tasks were assigned to you, how many were important and how many did you complete post the deadline. Each and every task, depending upon the language, deadlines and importance is measured. You can also compare your performance over the period of time!
Such a tangible look into your work has never been done before! The ability to own up to your work and be proud about it’s quality or precision, helps you in making your case stronger at the time of appraisals and in a way challenges yourself to perform better.
You can see how your teams as well as individuals in those teams have been performing. Which tasks were bottlenecks and at what points did decision making get delayed. This would help not just as a feedback mechanism but taking these numbers as inputs, team leads can actually change the way they work.
They can also identify top performers in those teams and induce a healthy competition within the team through a reward mechanism which ultimately is a win-win situation for the team as well as the project as a whole.
We will of-course make it much more detailed and better as we move forward.
And, we hope you like it!
Do let us know your thoughts @gridle_io.

Question: How many words constitute a fictional short story? Not a short, short story but a short story.
Answer: Generally, a short story is any story under 7,500 words. Anything under 1,000 words is often termed flash fiction.
However, these definitions are not fixed. Sometimes works up to 20,000 words have been called short stories. You have to check with individual publishers (such as literary magazines, websites, contests, etc.) to see what length of stories they are looking for and what terms they are using to describe them (e.g. micro-fiction, novelette, novella, postcard fiction).
At the extreme lower end there are also "six word memoirs," such as this famous one attributed to Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."

Question: How do you write a good novel in which the protagonist has an evil story goal?
Answer: Though they are more rare, there are stories told from the point of view of an immoral or villainous person. Shakespeare's Macbeth is one example. A Clockwork Orange is another.
In first person narration, reading such a story feels like having a mobster mistake you for his best friend. On the one hand, it's flattering to have him share his life story with you, while on the other hand you can mentally step back and pass judgment on his crimes.
Traditionally, villainous protagonists were the subject of tragedies. You read such stories to see how their mistakes and character flaws led to their downfall. Tragedies were lessons on how to not lead your life -- don't be greedy, selfish, overly ambitious, etc.
More problematic are the villainous protagonists who win in the end. Their stories can be disconcerting because they offend our natural sense of moral justice. The thematic message they deliver is a sense that something is wrong with the world (society, the universe, God, etc.). A system that would allow a villain to win must itself be a corrupt and immoral system in need of reform. Such a story is disturbing because people like to draw comfort from the notion that they understand the rules of the world, and that understanding makes the world fair and just. Seeing a villain win destroys that illusion.
So I would suggest you decide what your thematic message will be. Are your writing a tragedy or an indictment of the world?
Next, it helps a lot if you can make your villain appealing. This may mean giving him charm, humour, a backstory that evokes sympathy, flaws that the reader can relate to, or perhaps one or two traits that are admirable.
Consider that Ebenezer Scrooge has his endearing qualities (he enjoyed games and dancing). Even Satan in Paradise Lost comes across as admirable for his championing of individual freedom: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
Finally, it may help to give your character an inner conflict. Show us either the arc of his downfall or (if he starts out nasty) let him be pressured to reform but ultimately refuse to change.

Question: Can a book have too many characters?
Answer: It really doesn't matter how many characters a book has as long as they are engaging.
You need at least one main character whose dilemma the reader can relate to, and an impact character who presents an alternative way to handle the problem (even if this character is imaginary). That's the minimum.
Some novels have many, many characters, if they are long and have a number of subplots. (The Harry Potter series is a recent example.) It all depends how many you need to tell the story or to flesh out the main character's world.
* You must keep your plot moving.
* Publishers may be more inclined to publish a 100,000 word novel by a first-time writer than a 600,000 word novel (which means less space for extra characters).
* It will be easier for you to keep track of 20 characters than 200, and easier for the reader too.
* You don't want redundant characters. If two characters fulfill basically the same function, it may make sense to combine them.
But there's no hard and fast rule. It all depends on your story.

Question: Will the world be a worse place if most people become disappointed with their religions? What would prevent people from mutual destruction and mayhem?
Answer: No, religions don’t need to simply disappear! No way! There is room for faith in the way people understand it, meaning religion, until people everywhere reveal all of creation; until they fully and completely reveal the Creator.
The wisdom of Kabbalah does not offend any religion!
The wisdom of Kabbalah operates by leading a person to the fulfillment of this principle, whereas religions only speak about love of others, but regrettably they only cause division between people.

Example 15 (Introduction) There are 2401 students in a school. P.T. teacher wants them to stand in rows and columns such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows. Columns Rows Let Total number of rows = 3 And Total number of columns = 3 Total Students = Number of students in 1st row + Number of students in 2nd row + Number of students in 3rd row = 3 + 3 + 3 = 3 × 3 = 9 So we can say that Total Students = Number of rows × Number of columns Example 15 There are 2401 students in a school. P.T. teacher wants them to stand in rows and columns such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows. Given Total Number of students = 2401 And number of rows is equal to the number of columns Let Number of rows = 𝑥 ∴ Number of columns = 𝑥 Now, Total Number of Students = Number of Rows × Number of columns 2401 = 𝑥 × 𝑥 2401 = 𝑥^2 𝑥^2 = 2401 𝑥 = √2401 ∴ Number of rows = √2401 Finding square root of 2401 Thus,	2401 = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 Therefore, Square root of 2401 = 7 × 7 √2401 = 49 ∴ Number of rows = 49.

The following production numbers were updated by Dave Newell and were published in the May 2017 issue of the CORSA Communique magazine. Refer to the article name "Production Numbers Revised" by Dave Newell.
This Production Overview table shows the relationship of U.S. Corvair Production Number Totals to Assembly Plant Totals and the new FC Production Numbers. Bloomfield, New Jersey CKD yearly totals are presented here for the first time from my files. Sum of the Car Assembly Plant Total and Bloomfield CKD Total equals the Car Production Number Total for each year.
a 1961 Car Assembly Plant Total: Was 279,103, corrected to 279,075 by Chevrolet production figure summary dated 4-7-71 giving revised totals for the Oakland Plant (55,470 revised to 55,464) and Willow Run (190,383 revised to 190,361). WR 190,361 total was also confirmed by the Willow Run-issued 1961 total. Kansas City total of 33,250 was unchanged. These changes reduce the 1961 Car Assembly Plant Total by 28 units to agree with the 1961 Car Production Figure Total.
b 1961 Truck Production Figure Total at 47,557 is 13 units lower than the Assembly Plant Total of 47,570. Without a Chevrolet document to balance these totals or prorate the 13 units over the four FC models, the more reliable 47,557 Truck Production Figure Total must remain for now.
c 1963 Car Assembly Plant Total: Was 254,112, corrected to 254,115 by Chevrolet production figure summary dated 4-7-71 giving revised totals for the Oakland Plant (22,403 revised to 22,406). Willow Run (214,470) and Los Angeles (17,239) totals were unchanged. This change increases the 1963 Car Assembly Plant Total by 3 units to agree with the 1963 Car Production Figure Total.
d 1963 Truck Production Figure Total: Was 26,968, corrected to 30,109 by the 1963 Chevrolet Accumulative Production Report which gave all new model production figures for 1963 FCs. This change increases the 1963 Truck Production Figure Total by 3,141 units to agree with the 1963 Truck Assembly Plant Total.
e 1965 and 1966 Corvair CKD units were made by GM Canada and are included in their 1965 and 1966 Canadian production totals. Canadian Corvair production is not included in any of the figures reported here.
f Corvair Truck Production Total: Was 127,221, corrected to 130,362 by 3,141 increase in 1963 Truck Production Figure Total. See note d.
g US Corvair Car and Truck Production Total: Was 1,786,243, corrected to 1,789,384 by 3,141 increase in 1963 Truck Production Figure Total. See note d.

On the Legal Writing Prof blog, Jim Levy noted today (hat-tipping BNA Internet Law News) that a court expressly rejected an appellant’s attempt to rely on Wikipedia.
The Flores decision is also available on Westlaw and Lexis at, respectively, 2008 WL 4683960 (Tex.App.-Hous (14th Dist.)) and 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 8010.
I haven’t read Peoples’ article yet, but I should, because this issue of the reliability of Wikipedia and its citation by courts has been bubbling up lately. It think this Texas court was exactly right: “Wikipedia entries are inherently unreliable because they can be written and edited anonymously by anyone.” I will admit that I sometimes read a Wikipedia entry if I want background information about a topic. I do not think, though, that I would cite an entry as proof of anything in court. What do you think?
I’m torn. On the one hand, yes, its editability makes the source theoretically unreliable. On the other hand, I’ve seen studies finding that Wikipedia entries are more accurate than Encyclopedia Brittanica articles.
However, like Prof. Slavin, I tend to use Wikipedia as a starting point (the references at the bottom of each article are often quite helpful) or as simply an overview about a topic I have no familiarity with.
I also use it frequently at work when I’m reviewing medical records and come up on a term I’m not familiar with. Wiki is much easier to navigate than WebMD.
I certainly would never cite to a Wikipedia article in a court document, and I would not even reference Wikipedia to an attorney who provided me with a research assignment at work. But I agree with both previous posts that it can be helpful for initially learning about background material. I also notice that Wikipedia often provides the first link to many Google searches, which might be another reason why so many rely on it (and why so many update it).
Speaking as a Wikipedia editor of several years, I can only completely agree with the court’s opinion. We’re useful – and I think I can state that “it’s useful” is objective fact given the site is a top-10 website by word of mouth – but we don’t and can’t claim “reliability.” It’s just written by people doing their best to write a good and useful reference.
Many judicial opinions quote Wikipedia, but generally they do so to give a general background on something – i.e., what people get from an encyclopedia – rather than as a material factor in the judgement. For that sort of thing, one needs to go to the solid original sources!
David, thanks for that perspective, it made me think as I read. 🙂 One response I’d offer is that it’s not _quite_ true that wikipedia entries are always “just written by people doing their best to write a good and useful reference.” On occasion, instead, it is at least temporarily hijacked by people trying to create a one-sided and biased presentation about some controversy. For such entries, I often find the sort of “back pages,” the record of changes and debates, to be more interesting reading than the entry itself. Of course, in one way, the minute-by-minute editability and the availability of this background information makes wikipedia in a way more reliable than a text like Britannica, which is presented as a closed, accomplished fact. Still, in another way, wikipedia’s _reliability_ is undeniably more “chimera” like, at least, with regard to any particular entry at any particular point in time.
The catch is, they also think they’re just people doing their best to write a good and useful reference 😉 They wouldn’t be nearly as problematic if they weren’t acting from complete sincerity.
In practice, the readers don’t seem to care if the editors are at each others’ throats, as most Internet users get used enough to intraweb arguments to actively not care; they don’t worry about the insides of the sausage factory, just that the sausages are tasty and nutritious and don’t have too much sawdust.
im doing a debate on this topic and this site was very helpful. i agree with what this court says, yes it is “convenient”but should not be used as a source nor for any academic reasons.
But most of the publishing houses have strong disclaimers, including the Wall Street Journal.
Are the “Encyclopedia of Law” (lawin.org) more reliable?
Well, it looks like the “Encyclopedia of Law” (lawin.org) is more reliable since it is vetted by legal professionals, according to about.lawin.org.
You can turn to Wikipedia for information and choose to learn whether or not what you’ve read is supported by a credible source. To source Wikipedia is just incorrect. Wikipedia is a source of sources, not a source itself.
Wikipedia is the most unreliable encyclopedia you can find on the net, and I agree with the Court.
There are much more unreliable encyclopedias online.
