The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, you will make it to a place called Success.this one is good pass it on to ur friends...........Let them know what is ur idea.......

Try this...............................Enjoy
Mathemagic



It takes less than a minute.......

Work this out as you read.

Don't cheat and read the bottom until you've worked
through it!

This is fun!



1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that
you would like to have dinner out. (try for more than
once but less than 10).

2. Multiply this number by 2

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add
1754.... If you haven't, add 1753.......

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were
born.

You should have a three digit number.



The first digit of this was your original number



(How many times you want to >eat out each week.)



The next two numbers are... YOUR AGE!



(Oh YES, it IS!!!!!)



THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2004) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO
PASS IT AROUND AND LET EVERYONE HAVE FUN WITH MATHS
WHILE IT LASTS!! IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT ???

Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a
student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student
claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an
impartial arbiter, and I was selected.


I read the examination question:

"SHOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF A TALL BUILDING WITH
THE AID OF A BAROMETER."


The student had answered, "Take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then
bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope
is the height of the building."


The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really
answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if
full credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in
his physics course and to certify competence in physics, but the answer
did not confirm this.

I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the student six
minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should
show some knowledge of physics. At the end of five minutes, he had not
written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said he had
many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one. I
excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go on.

In the next minute, he dashed off his answer, which read:

"Take the barometer to the top of the building andlean over the edge of
the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then,
using the formula x=0.5*a*t^^2,calculate the height of the building."

At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded,
and gave the student almost full credit.

While leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had
said that he had other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they
were.

"Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the height of
a tall building with the aid of a barometer.

For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure
the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the length of
the shadow of the building, and by the use of simple proportion,
determine the height of the building."

"Fine," I said, "and others?"

"Yes," said the student, "there is a very basic measurement method you
will like. In this method, you take the barometer and begin to walk up
the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark off the length of the
barometer along the wall. You then count the number of marks, and
this will give you the height of the building in barometer units."

"A very direct method."

"Of course. If you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the
barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and
determine the value of g at the street level and at the top of the building.
From the difference between the two values of g, the height of the
building, in principle, can be calculated."

"On this same tact, you could take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to just above the
street, and then swing it as a pendulum. You could then calculate the height
of the building by the period of the precession".

"Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways of solving the
problem. Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to
the basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the
superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows:

'Mr. Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the
height of the building, I will give you this barometer."

At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the
conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but
said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying
to teach him how to think.

The student was Neils Bohr (quantum theory & physics & mechanics,
hydrogen atom guru etc ) and the arbiter Rutherford.

Two camels (a mother and a baby) were lazing around,when suddenly baby
camel
said.

Baby: "mother, mother, can I ask you some question?"

Mother: "sure! why son, is there something bothering you?"

Baby: "why do camel have humps?"

Mother: "well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store
water
and we are known to survive without water."

Baby: "okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded."

Mother:"Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You
know
with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone ",said
the
mother proudly.

Baby: "okay, said baby camel. "then why are our eye Lashes long?
Sometimes
it is bothering my sight." said baby camel.

Mother: "my son, those long thick eye lashes are your Protective cover.
They
help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind." Said mother
camel
with eyes brimming with pride.

Baby: "I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert,
