Cheryl is upset that you got her birthday wrong.....now she is back with a vengeance. See if you can solve this. http://edumatters.sg/cheryl-your-lovely-math-teacher-is-back/

Scenario A: A car travelling at 100km/h constantly on an empty road with a fly flying in the car. Is the fly keeping up with the car's speed? The fly would be travelling at the car's speed (100km/h) + whatever its flight speed is (e.g 3km/h) No, but why? If yes, really???!! ===== I actually researched about the answers before but this question always lingered on my mind so I thought to share. Maybe my mind works in a different way, always wondering about weird stuffs. I am also interested in seeing some of the explanations here. Thanks in advance

hey all... most oil changes are done at 10k... so its correct to say an oil filter will last at least 10k... so for someone like me who likes to change at 5k (fully syn oil)... i can still leave the filter alone and change every other oil change right?... comments pls thanks...

I really cannot understand the logic anybody working in the utility sector Electricity increased during the recession and now increase again why have measures to offset rising power charges instead SHOULDNT THEY dont increased the charges in the first place Measures to help offset rising power charges Wed, Jan 13, 2010 my paper THE Government cannot insulate Singaporeans from volatile electricity-market prices, but it will continue to mitigate the impact of rising prices on household costs, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry S. Iswaran said. In Parliament yesterday, he said: "Volatility is something we must get used to. The long term trend is probably upwards, because of the various fundamental pressures like more demand for energy from the developing market." Measures that the Government are already taking include the Utilities Save rebate scheme, which can be used to offset utility charges. Mr Iswaran also defended the liberalisation and privatisation of Singapore's energy market since 2001, which he said has promoted diversity, newer and more efficient technologies and helped fight price hikes. For example, while fuel-oil prices have increased by 160 per cent in the past eight years, electricity prices for households - which are pegged to the former - have risen by only 15 per cent.

Got it from a friend. Look interesting. This should work too but it will need full concerted effort & consistency of all the motorists. _ How to reduce petrol and gas price..Egg logic A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast. When he goes to the grocery store he pays 60 cents a dozen.Since a dozen eggs won't last a week he normally buys two dozens at a time. One day while buying eggs he notices that the price has risen to 72 cents. The next time he buys groceries, eggs are 76 cents a dozen. When asked to explain the price of eggs the store owner says, 'The price has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly'. This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day. He checked around for a better price and all the distributors have raised their prices. The distributors have begun to buy from the huge egg farms. The small egg farms have been driven out of business. The huge egg farms sell 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they can set the price as they see fit. The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on. As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big egg trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there. He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000 dozen eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the price of eggs. Then week before Thanksgiving the price of eggs shot up to $1.00 a dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, 'Cakes and baking for the holiday'. The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up. Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when family cooking, baking, etc. happen. This pattern continues until the price of eggs is 2.00 a dozen. The man says, 'There must be something we can do about the price of eggs'. He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to stop buying eggs. This didn't work because everyone needed eggs. Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need. He ate 2 eggs a day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy two eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day. The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn't need any eggs. Maybe wouldn't need any all week. The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse. He told the huge egg farms that he didn't have any room for eggs would not need any for at least two weeks. At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs. To relieve the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could buy the eggs at a lower price. The distributor said, ' I don't have the room for the eggs even if they were free'. The distributor told the grocery store owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would start buying again. The grocery store owner said, 'I don't have room for more eggs. The customers are only buying 2 or 3 eggs at a time. Now if you were to drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers would start buying by the dozen again'. The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers but the egg farmers liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, those chickens just kept on laying. Finally, the egg farmers lowered the price of their eggs. But only a few cents. The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said, 'when the price of eggs gets down to where it was before, we will start buying by the dozen.' Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg farmers. The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn't buy at a higher price than they were selling eggs for. Anyway, they had full warehouses and wouldn't need eggs for quite a while. And those chickens kept on laying. Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing away eggs they couldn't sell. The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to where the stores could afford to sell them at the lower price. And the customers starting buying by the dozen again. Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry. What if everyone only bought $10.00 worth of gas each time they pulled to the pump? The dealer's tanks would stay semi full all the time. The dealers wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the huge tank farms. The tank farms wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn't have room for the oil being off loaded from the huge tankers coming from the oil fiends. Just $10.00 each time you buy gas. Don't fill it up. You may have to stop for gas twice a week but, the price should come down. Think about it. As an added note...When I buy $10.00 worth of gas that leaves my tank a little under quarter full. The way prices are jumping around, you can buy gas for $2.65 a gallon and then the next morning it can be $2.15. If you have your tank full of $2.65 gas you don't have room for the $2.15 gas. You might not understand the economics of only buying two eggs at a time but, you can't buy cheaper gas if your tank is full of the high priced stuff. Also, don't buy anything else at the gas station; don't give them any more of your hard earned money than what you spend on gas, until the prices come down.' Just think of this concept for a while. ..................please pass this concept around

received my insurance renewal letter for my 4 yr old Fit. $1.5K+ with 20% NCD. when to check out the UK civic type R. same NCD and same insurance coy but Type R is $1.7K. why? dont really understand the logic leh.

Look at the dancer below. What do you see? Is she turning clockwise or counter-clockwise? You just can

Can someone explain what or how this Fuzzy Logic thing works?

AS u all noe, on my way up north. One Qn, what is the logic behind overinflation of the tyres before a long trip? is it: 1. Prevent of high speed blowout 2. Better fuel economy at the expense of friction as the body of tyre would grip less any others? And Redz, hor, pay attention too liao

1078.1 hi everyone finally i found some logic for computing tyre pressure from an australian 4x4 magazine site ... here it goes : the sidewall of any tyres usually specify maximum weight they can carry at a particular psi level e.g., for the ES100, it can carry 1235 lbs @ 50 psi. over 4 tyres the total weight 4 tyres can carry is 4940 @ 50 psi (4 x 1235 lbs @ 50 psi). however the weight of the car is usually kerb weight + passengers + some misc stuff. in my case, T4 = 1255kg, passengers = 130kg & misc = 10kg. so total weight = 1395kg (3075lbs). thus if 50 psi can carry 4940lbs, it follows that to carry 3075lbs, the tyres need to be pumped to : (3075/4940)*50 psi = 31.12 psi. assuming that the weight is evenly distributed, we'd pump 31.12 psi all round. however, the weight is not evenly distributed and hence we get something like 32 front and 29 back (+/- 1 psi) make sense? comments welcomed!
