are you talking to me?
no he isn't at work!
think more 001 (you need some math calculations)

p.s. it's written right!
 

pitino

are you talking to me?
correct! nice try 001 :)

p.s. how about the pizza-quiz above? :confused:
 
that s what i first thought 001 but pitino said to Sutty that he was wrong!!!!

!!!!! :dunno:

hope pitino ll give us the right answer!!!!!
 
so if they ll have half of the pizza each one
they ll eat it in half the minutes
they eat the hole !!!

5mins the 1st , 10mins the 2nd ????
 
It could be 0 minutes as they have already eaten, or if they eat as much as they can in the time then it will be...

(2x600)
______ = 400 seconds.... 6 minutes and 40 seconds
3
 
I am assuming they both keep eating til its gone. So, one guy eats twice as fast, so he can eat two thirds of the pizza by the time guy no2 eats one third.

It takes the first guy ten minutes to eat a whole pizza - 600 seconds. Multiply that by 2/3 gets you 6 mins 40 seconds
 
i think i found it!!!

the 1st one eats a piece of pizza at 75secs!
the 2nd one eats it at 150secs!

if they start eating together the pizza(and the pizza has 8 pieces) then the first 2 pieces will be eaten by the time of 150secs!

the 1st ine will start eating he 3rd piece at 75secs!

then the both of them will have another 2 pieces at 150secs!(5pieces)

at 225secs the 1st one will eat the 6th piece!

and at 300secs the both of them will eat the last 2 pieces!

so 300secs = 5mins
 
I solved it in post above. Yours is wrong sorry - 5 minutes? After 5 minutes, guy number one can eat half a pizza. Guy 2 eats half the speed of him, so you still got 1/4 of a pizza left.

here's the solution!

in 1 min the fisrt guy eats the 1/10th of the pizza and
in 1 min the second guy eats ther 1/20th of the pizza
so in 1 min they both eat 1/10 + 1/20 = 3/20 of the pizza
so the whole pizza (20/20) will be eaten in 20/20 : 3/20 = 6,66... minutes!!!

001 you are right :glugglug:

You expected any less? :D What throws me usually is I expect them to be trick questions... I should assume it is a simple math question first and be done in half the time!

another:
outside a room are 3 switches. Just one of them turns-on the light inside the room.
we are outside the room and we can get into the room just once to check!
how can we manage to find out which switch turns-on the light?

p.s. there isn't any window or another way to see what's going on inside the room!

but we must find out which one turns the light on (?)
 
Ok I worked it out.

Flick switch number 1, and wait a few minutes. Turn it off.
Flick switch number 2. Enter room.

If the light is on, then yay. If not, feel the bulb. If the bulb is warm, switch one is the winner. If it is dark and cold, switch 3 is your switch!
