I guess no one found any use for these........

[Andys dad]

I never saw them before ...

I think the few I tried are very accurate

Gives food for thought ..

Thanks John, those could be useful. But can you calculate this.

Three sailors on leave go into a motel for a room. The desk clerk tells them it will be $10.00 a piece for a total of $30.00 After a while the clerk thinks that since they are in the military he should give them a break, so he calls over the bellboy and gives him 5 one dollar bills, tells him to go upstairs and refund the sailors. On the way up he decides since there are three sailors and he has 5 one dollar bills that he should pocket 2 of them. So he gives each sailor a one dollar bill, which makes them paying only $9.00 each. 9 x 3 = 27 plus the two dollars in the bellboys pocket equals 29, where is the other dollar?

They didn't pay 9..They paid 8.33 ;-)
I always trusted you for accurate information..Too bad...so sorry

Mark, I see your logic, but you are a penny short, and in this scenario, the bellyboy got 2 dollars, where is the other three.

It's almost like the question is presented mathematically incorrect.

U/SA a penny for your thoughts

Of the original $30, the sailors now have $3, the bellboy $2, and the clerk $25. It's not $9x3 + $2, the bellboy didn't add his own money. He took $2 away from the $27, so the clerk has $25.

Mark and Andrew, you guys are really sharp. But the correct answer was already stated in this thread

To John Kelley, Thanks for the formula's, I have been looking for the formula's for tire@Gear@ speed@ rpm ! It came in real handy ! Is there a formula that would somehow tell convertor slip ? Or would the convertor mfg. be able to tell me ? Thanks, I'll be back in 2014 the good Lord Willing ! ...John

And nobody is saying anything about the formula to figure out the winning PICK 3 -- PICK 4 -- MEGA. . LOTTO NUMBERS.
