Calculate the number 970
NUMBERMANIA: Calculate the number 970 using numbers [8, 4, 8, 1, 25, 115] and basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). Each of the numbers can be used only once.
MAGIC SQUARE: Calculate A-B-C
The aim is to place the some numbers from the list (5, 7, 15, 29, 30, 31, 32, 39, 40, 47, 78, 96) into the empty squares and squares marked with A, B an C. Sum of each row and column should be equal. All the numbers of the magic square must be different. Find values for A, B, and C. Solution is A-B-C.

Son with just a head
A man and his wife had a son, but the baby didn't have a body, just a head. So the man and his wife raised the head.
On the boy's 21st birthday, the man took his son out for drinks. When the boy took his first sip, he grew a torso and the whole bar lit up. The bartender seemed absolutely disgusted and the boy's father was crying.
So he drunk some more and the more he drunk, the body parts that came out. The bar was cheering, the father was crying and the bartender was still disgusted. The boy got all of his body parts and picked up his last drink with his hands.
He was so drunk that he wobbled outside into the street, got hit with a 18 wheeler and died.
Everyone was in so much shock except the bartender, who then replied: "He should have quit while he was ahead."
Find number abc
If 77ab7 - c3a20 = 1a037 find number abc. Multiple solutions may exist.
Aerosol spray patentIn 1939, the first U.S. patent for dispensing liquids under pressure from a disposable container was issued to Julius Seth Kahn of New York City (No. 2,170,531). The patent was titled "Apparatus For Mixing a Liquid With a Gas," but was the predecessor of the aerosol spray can. In this case, the patent more particularly specified a use for whipping cream "by discharging the cream and gas mixture through a constricted orifice." The cream could be contained in a common soda-pop glass bottle. Gas could be introduced at controlled pressure. An inexpensive valve discharged the whipped cream. Its use was extended to applications such as dispensing paints, pharmaceuticals and insecticides. |
