1 - A A short gap between the dots means greater change in velocity means a steeper slope on the graph. 2 - E misleading, since the acceleration does not appear to be linear 3 - E 4 - C if it were D(5) it could only travel down through the ramp 5 - E the only force present is gravity - and...

Let's say that there are 2 doors on the stage, one with a car and one with a goat. Some guy walks up and picks one door, so he has a 1/2 chance of choosing the door with the car. Now, back to the three door scenario. I am on the stage and have chosen my door. Monty eliminates one door, and...

Kranky, The chance of choosing the correct door is represented by the equation: chance = number of doors chosen/number of doors to choose from. Since you are allowed to choose only one door the numerator is fixed at one. The chance is therefore 1/number of doors to choose from. Each time one...

Viper said: 'Many people here are overlooking the fact that revealing the contents of a door does not change the original probability that you chose the correct door. If you were to re-distribute the doors' contents randomly & then chose a door again, you're correct... The odds would be...

Ha ha ha - it always amuses me when I see people trying to argue that switching is better. Think of it this way - once you make your original choice, one of the goats is revealed, and that door is removed from the stage (I know that this has not been said to happen, but it helps the...

It's not out yet - scheduled for early october - you can check the videologic.com website for resellers.

He probably knows that he's doing a crap job, and knows that if he keeps it up, then eventually you will do everything yourself. Of course, there is the alternative explanation that he is a retard. Whatever you do, you will have a hard time changing him, since he obviously doesn't care...

One of my friends had a deal with his girlfriend - she would only get her navel pierced if he got a tattoo. So they both did their part, then she took her new ring out and dumped him. I never laughed so hard as when he told me that story.

At the moment most stocks are really quite thin after the normal close. Something such as Intel is still 1/16 wide, and you can trade it all you want, but the less liquid stocks may well not trade at all. Many of the Nasdaq stocks just have a couple of quotes very wide, and with nobody...

Be careful with the tylenol - you liver can only process a certain amount at a time, and beyond that capacity you will get liver damage which can be fatal. 1500mg is a lot at a time, so make sure that you are not inadvertantly taking any acetominophen in other medication you might be on.

You don't have to use high revs when holding the car on the clutch - try to keep the revs about constant as you set off. The greater effort required from the engine is made up by using more gas for the same revs on a hill, not more revs. Don't worry about damaging the clutch - you will do much...

Why go cold turkey? You can just cut down slowly to gradually reduce your physical addiction. Try having a couple of gulps of coke, or half a caffeine tablet in the morning, but avoid it for the rest of the day until you can go without completely.

I must admit that there is more graffiti in parts of England than I ever saw when I lived in Chicago for 5 years. I think that it is illegal to buy spray-paint in the Chicago metropolitan area - seems like a good solution. The other thing is that once the graffiti is painted it may be there...

We do use the metric system here in the UK concurrent with the imperial system, but old people and such have problems with it because they are used to the imperial system(which is different to the USA imperial system - eg, a pint is 18fluid ounces here). Celcius/centrigrade seems more sensible...
