For ppl with higher IQ.

[Ramminho]

A question from today newspaper. There is an award too.

X object can eat one apple in one month, Y object can eat one apple in 2 monts, Z object can eat one apple in three monts. For how many days all three together objects will eat one apple ?

[Xitras]

What does this have to do with hon????

[kharaa]

wouldn't this be better suited for off topic?

[Nani]

different amount of months have different amount of days...

[Kemipso]

I don't even understand the question.
Will they keep eating apples for their (unknown) lifetime ?
What fooking month ?
Why do you even post it ?

Edit : While I'm at it, three objects eating together an apple ?
Hope it's a huge apple, or tiny objects.

[Obselit]

It's 1

[MasSamuraii]

People with higher IQs can't understand this post from the lower IQs.

[Ki1laH]

Yeah this cannot be answered with the given information. You ask 'For how many days all three together objects will eat one apple ?' What I am assuming you means is how many times will all three eat an apple at the same time.

However not given a timeline of how long they eat apples, we cannot tell you the answer to that question.

[Almost_Rambo]

1 day....not even really, it'll take em a few seconds to a minute max, but I'd say 1 day. Have you asked how long would it take all of them to have had 2 apples, then 3 months (and X could have had his 3rd apple if he wanted to).

[rubenlegrand]

I think hes asking how long it would take if all 3 objects would be eating one apple together
which is 1x + 0,5x + 0,33x = 1

[Fiat]

~16 days

[Kemipso]

Over 9000 days.

[Ki1laH]

Well, you can't ask people to solve a riddle if the hardest part of the riddle is deciphering your horrible English.

[Matemeo]

Just a bunch of edited crap that was wrong

The answer is learn better English.

X object can eat one apple in one month, Y object can eat one apple in 2 monts, Z object can eat one apple in three monts. For how many days all three together objects will eat one apple ?

That isn't a sentence.

haha you guys are so missing what the question is asking. It's asking how many days (0 being the first day of the first month) will it take for all three of these "objects" to finish eating an apple at the same time.

MY ASSUMPTIONS: Each apple can only be eaten in parts (X eats the whole thing each month, Y eats 1/2 each month, Z eats 1/3 each month). You CAN solve this algebraically but screw it, we'll hack at it.

Now assuming each month is 30 days we can do this systematically.

First month, X eats an apple. Y is halfway thru with his, and Z is only a third of the way through with his.
Second month. X eats another apple, Y ate his apple now, and Z is 2/3 of the way through.
Third Month X eats another apple, Y is halfway thru, Z is finally done.
Fourth month X eats another, Y is done, Z is 1/3
Fifth: X eats another, Y is 1/2 Z is 2/3
Sixth: X eats another, Y Finishs, Z finishes.

So it'll take six months (~180 days) assuming my assumptions are correct.

I think you got it wrong too. This is what I think the question is asking:

How many days will an apple last being eaten by all three objects?

The guy that said ~16 days is probably closest to the real answer.

[Fenald]

fyi if you're asking how long it will take all 3 to eat 1 whole apple it's between 16 and 17 days. (closer to 17)

in 16 days they'll eat 0.977777778 apples
in 17 days they'll eat 1.03888889 apples


Edit again: in 16.3636364 days they'll eat exactly 1 apple.

Wheres my "award"?

[zaft223]

May I ask what does this have to do with general beta testing?

[Murlox]

15 days

One month has 30.4368499 days.

X eats 1/30.4368499 of an apple a day.
Y eats 0.5/30.4368499 of an apple a day.
Z eats 0.33/30.4368499 of an apple a day.

Togheter they eat 1.83/30.4368499 of an apple a day.

The apple will last 16.63215841530055 days.

[Forfeit]

It's 16ish, but it depends on what month they use for everyone's eating skill. Is it February? Is it leap year? Is it a 30 day month or a 31?

[Fenald]

oh yeah btw my math was assuming that a month was 30 days.

[Naib]

[QUOTE=Ramminho;1020029]A question from today newspaper. There is an award too.

assuming 30days in a month ...
That one apple will be eaten in 16.36 days

[RuntCash]

this is great info about the beta thanks for sharing it here

[Imbisill]

Yeah I'd say about 16.37 days. For the three people to finish one apple together.

Btw, I don't care if a person has high IQ or not, but they have to be able to speak proper f**king english.

Oh and also, this isn't something for "ppl with higher IQ". We had stuff like this in sixth grade.

Edit: I assumed one month was 30 days.

As stated before, OP needed help with his math homework.

[Slayman]

Ofcourse the answer is N.

[Fenald]

Ofcourse the answer is N.
It's lupus.

[Butterfinger]

The lack thereof "ppl with higher IQ" in this thread hurts my head.

Especially when combined with the horribly broken English the OP used.

A question from today newspaper. There is an award too.

X object can eat one apple in one month, Y object can eat one apple in 2 monts, Z object can eat one apple in three monts. For how many days all three together objects will eat one apple ?Fixing, because your grammar is TERRIBLE:

X can do 1 in 1.
Y can do 1 in 2.
Z can do 1 in 3.

Slope of f(x) = 1
Slope of f(y) = .5
Slope of f(z) = 1/3

All together: f(x) + f(y) + f(z) = 1+.5+1/3 = 1.833

Slope of 1.8333, solve for y = 1.

f(xyz) = 1.833x = 1
x = 1/1.833 = 0.54545454545454545454545454545456 months.

How would anyone even remotely have a problem with that?

edit: oop, accidentally put days instead of months.

[Dawntracer]

I think the more accurate answer is 6/11 of a month.

[studfacestad]

worst topic ever? /banlist add OP moron

[FSUHookahMan]

It's never lupus, it's 42.

[Ferni]

It's lupus.

It's not lupus!

[frickendevil]

Depends, are X, Y and Z friends? If so they would probably split the apple equally, meaning it would take a month for the whole thing to be finished (Z is a slow eater).

Or maybe they have to keep the apple whole, meaning only one can be eating at a time, and if that was a race I think Y and Z would just step back and let X go for it because of how bad they are at eating apples.

Or maybe X, Y and Z are reading this topic and they really want to fsck with OP, and they will eat the apple in 2 mins closer to normal people.

[_kEv]

Threadstarter didnt even replied, so i think troll.

It's lupus.


It's never lupus...watch house!

[D8ms``]

assuming each month has 30 days
x(1/30+1/60+1/90)=1
x=1/(1/30+1/60+1/90)
x=1/(6/90)
x=1/(1/15)
x=15
15 days?

[RagingRetard]

What does X + Y + Z = ?

[Radioman]

What does X + Y + Z = ?

Space

[inDe_eD]

How is this even remotely difficult? Any schoolkid with a 6th grade education should be able to solve it.

You can ask that about 99% of the posts in this forum.

[darkhearted]

Y + Z eat apples in 2/3 monts

this clearly isn't a typing error and is used to fool the average person

[Ashur]

Well, you can't ask people to solve a riddle if the hardest part of the riddle is deciphering your horrible English.


Heh, quite a riddle to behold :D

they wont eat any apples

[CrazyBabble]

why eat an apple when you can have an hamburger? thats the real question

[Fenald]

Thats the joke.

The answer to his question is clearly not lupus. Lupus is always suggested as an answer in house and is almost always wrong.

Now you understand comedy. Thank god someone could learn something from this thread.

It was funny the first times it was said, now it's just another meme that we have to scroll through in every freaking thread in every damn discussion board over the internet. Now you know that everytime you repeat the same joke it gets less funny and more annoying.

TRICK QUESTION. The apple is poisoned, thus, the answer is "never".

[Danvari]

They split up so it gives 1/3 of apple. Then just divide month by 1/3 and add up with other objects.

TRICK QUESTION. The apple is poisoned, thus, the answer is "never".
:cool:

[AlFany]

X can eat twice as fast as Y and thrice as fast as z.

Split the apple into 6 pieces. Give X 3 slices. Y 2 slices. Z 1 slice.

assuming 1 month=30 days, and assuming everyone gets a fair share

X eats 1/2 of an apple. 1 month/2 = 15 days
Y eats 1/3 of an apple. 2 months/3 = 20 days
Z eats 1/6 of an apple. 3 months/6 = 15 days

X and Z would eat at the same pace. Y would get delayed thus taking 20 days to eat the apple.

But if not accounting fair shares. Getting the average of the 3 values comes to about 16.67 days (which one guy pointed out)

[Pyrate]

Anyone answering in days is automatically wrong, you dont know how many days are in the month, you cant make assumptions in math.


Fixing, because your grammar is TERRIBLE:

X can do 1 in 1.
Y can do 1 in 2.
Z can do 1 in 3.

Slope of f(x) = 1
Slope of f(y) = .5
Slope of f(z) = 1/3

All together: f(x) + f(y) + f(z) = 1+.5+1/3 = 1.833

Slope of 1.8333, solve for y = 1.

f(xyz) = 1.833x = 1
x = 1/1.833 = 0.54545454545454545454545454545456 months.

How would anyone even remotely have a problem with that?

edit: oop, accidentally put days instead of months.


This is the correct answer

for people out there who didnt do math past the 10th grade, Static worked out the rate of which the objects eat apples. This equates to a slope in a linear graph (1.8333), where x=time and y=apples eaten. With that graph you can find the exact time where 1 apple is eaten.

This should help

http://my.hrw.com/math06_07/nsmedia/tools/Graph_Calculator/graphCalc.html

Make Y1= 1.833x and Y2 = 1, graph it, and then find the point of intersection

[Edward]

that answer was given on the first page, and you have to be a real moron not to know that. don't think it has anything to do with IQ though, just have to be a little bit mathfag.

God created the apple in 6 days.

And if you eat it, youre bannd from eden.

Lupus is not a meme get off the internet.

Being a moron and then pretending to be a troll almost never works ;)
