tyrius. Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I am a 4-digit number. My ones digit is 2. My tens digit is 4 greater than my ones digit. My hundreds and thousands digits are both 3 greater than my ones digit. I'm the only one that answers 5582. "4 greater" = 4 + and 4 + 2 = 6 I'm not sure where you guys are getting 5's ? 6682 Same as the previous response. "3 greater" = 3 + and 3+ 2 = 5. It doesn't say 3 times greater, just 3 greater. Quote

farmpond1 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Amazingly, I got them all correct!!! And I actually had fun with the attempt! (It was a lot more fun than what I do here at work, trust me!) Anyway, I was amazed that I managed to persist with it. In high school and even during college my brain would have fizzled and popped with the only real outcome being smoke coming out my ears. I certainly never would've made it past 4th grade if these problems were mandatory then! Quote
Super User Marty Posted September 11, 2008 Super User Posted September 11, 2008 My teacher was talking about limits today, about how you could always divide a distance by 2 and never reach your destination. I recall that from years ago. They were saying that if a man and a woman were on opposite ends of a couch, and one kept moving half the distance to the other, in theory, they'd never meet. On the other hand, they'd be close enough for all practical purposes. Quote
