After visiting my Great Aunt...
[5499] After visiting my Great Aunt... - After visiting my Great Aunt Annie, I travelled home in her old jalopy. The car was old and battered, it had a leak from the petrol tank, and I was stuck in second gear. This meant that I could only travel along at a steady 30 miles per hour and managed a paltry 20 miles per gallon of fuel. At the start of the journey I had placed exactly 10 gallons of fuel into the tank. I knew though, that the fuel tank lost fuel at the rate of half a gallon per hour. Just as I arrived home, the car stopped because it had run out of fuel and I had only just made it. How far was it from my Great Aunt's to my home? - #brainteasers #math #riddles - Correct Answers: 29 - The first user who solved this task is Djordje Timotijevic

Donald Glover: iPhone Raps

I write raps so sometimes I will write them in my iPhone. So I was writing the n-word in my iPhone and my iPhone goes, Did you mean niggardly? And I was like, No iPhone. I meant n***er; write it. But then, two weeks later, I was writing Jigga -- which is the shortened form of Jay-Z. And my iPhone goes, Did you mean n***er? And I went, Whoa, iPhone. You do not get to say that.

As a child prodigy, his accelerated schooling reached B.S. degrees in physics and mathematics by age 17 and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University at age 20 (1969). By 1971, as a professor at the University of Chicago at age 22, he was the youngest full professor ever in the U.S. Two years later, he returned to Princeton as a professor (1973). His Ph.D. dissertation was on “Inequalities for Strongly Regular Convolution Operators.”His field of study includes his interest in physics - applied mathematics in vibrations, heat, turbulence - though he is best known for his theoretical work.«
