A little Quiz.

Try to solve this one. I don't know where the coin went. ^^

"Three men were walking along a road and they needed to sleep. They saw
a farm and they asked if they could sleep there. The farmer said that
they can sleep in the barn for 10 coins each. And the day after they
left. But the Farmer felt like he had taken to much from them so he
said to his helper to give them 5 coins back. But the helper though
"You can't divide 5 on 3" so he took 2 of the coins. and gave the men
back 1 coin each. SO they had paid 9 coins each, thats 27 right. and
the helper had 2. Where did the last coin go."

The actual price is 25 coins (30 - 5)
Well you then have to divide that but 3 rather than dividing the 30 coins by 3.
25 / 3 = 8.33333
This is what each man paid.
Then add 1 coin to each amount.
8.33333 + 1 = 9.333333333
Multiply by 3.
9.33333333 * 3 = 27.999999
Now add the 2 bucks that the helper kept for himself.
27.9999 + 2 = 329.999999

And the last bit that is left is due to mathematical unaccuracy ^^ The trick is that the focuses lies on the total of 30 coins instead of the 25 which is the actual price.

freak, nothing to add^^

Well it's made to trick the mind. And it works on people most times. They are like "Wtf bug with the world" xD

Btw 27.9999 + 2 = 39.999999 is not true.
27.9999 + 2 = 29.999999 =true ^^

An error in the matrix +shock yea it's confusing - where the hell is that goddamn coin! Hm, you could get 30 cents and re-construct it ^^

wer can u get that problem?
can u give me some of that problem?

Hum... the question itself is a bug!

SO they had paid 9 coins each, thats 27 right. and
the helper had 2. Where did the last coin go.

What last coin? You can't just subtract multiply the numbers randomly. The 27 is just a fictive number what all of them together have lost. In the end just a mathematic "glitch", but not a real one, yes.

By the way, I got my computer now, with a little delay but I got it. Hooray! I'm now installing all the stuff.

Hehe sweet, But I need to return my computer to get a new one. This one I got don't work properly. +cry

Gosh!

Sparing with words today, s3rious? ^_^ But bad to hear, Lis. I'd have turned insane if my new didn't work now! @_@

Well, all the basic stuff is now installed, WCIII CSS and PS CS3 will follow. downloading Gears of War right now as well.

But I just realized one thing: I haven't considered this processor is on 64bit (Athlon X2 DC 5200+) that I can't use with WinXP. I guess there is no 64bit version of XP available?

Wiki tells me that

Windows XP x64 Edition ist eine spezielle 64-Bit-Version, die ausschließlich für Prozessoren mit AMD64- oder Intel-64-Erweiterung entwickelt wurde. Sie läuft nicht auf anderen 64-Bit-Prozessoren und ist identisch zu Windows XP Professional, bis auf die Tatsache, dass sie auf dem Systemkern des Nachfolgers Windows Server 2003 basiert und somit eine modernere Basis (Windows NT 5.2) besitzt. Die x64 Edition ist nur als OEM- und als System-Builder-Lizenz erhältlich.

Not too bright.

Hm... at least such a version is available. After some quick research, I see driver issues rising though... probably I'll just live with it and later update directly to Vista. I'm happy everything is running quite fine now - I'm tired of all that setup programs and progress bars.

I might not need to return mine, if they agrees to send me a new HDD

can you tell me where i can find that problem on internet?

Reeves Random Riddles
The ninth riddle it is. But that is only the question itself, not an answer.

Yay. the'll send a technican on wednsday to replace it.

I think here would be a better way to make the calculation.

After returning 5 coins, the farmer has 25 coins left. (25)
Considering that each man received one coin in return, they all had 3 coins. (3)
And the last 2 are with the helper. (2)
So 25 + 3 + 2 = 30.

nice work s3 -.- ; looks like u did some maths
