Here's a question fo you!

If a brick weighs a brick and half a brick. How heavy is 3 bricks?

 

4 and a half bricks???

 

Yup, is that it?

Skinny

 

4 and a half i think.

Whats the catch???

 

mine is 11

just to be different

 

How Come a brick can weigh one and half of a brick?
thats the catch.

 

) and the answer is....

 

Actually the original question is wrong
say one brick weighs one brick and a half brick.
lets put that into an equation...

b = b+1/2b
now substract 1/2b from bothe sides.
b-1/2b = b
b(1-1/2) = b
so 1/2 = 1, Which is not possible.

The Correct question is,
If a brick weighs 1 kilo and half of the brick. then how heavy is 3 bricks and the answer is -
6 Kg.........

 

..... i hate maths.

 

lol...easy enough given the right question

 

Not to hijack an informatice thread, but:

What's the difference between a duck?



One of its legs is both the same.


neil

 

What is NEil's question?

 

lol...hmmm

 

hummmm... i dont think that much.....
Nice observation BTW.

 

Since you've all figured out the brick question.....

Which weighs more
1. a kilo of feathers
2. a kilo of bricks

 

Same!!!

I have heard that one before. The one in the original post was slightly different.

 

I paid attention to the math classes in school

ha ha ha dude, nice question.
Sumit has answered that,

now a new question for all.
If you drop a 1kg brick and a .75 Grms feather from 75 feet hieght in the vaccume. Which will touch the ground first, in how many seconds and why?

 

They would hit the ground at the same time. There is no air, there would be no friction. Acceleration due to the gravity is the same. Mass of the body is not involved.

I calculated this with acceleration due to gravity formula, did not calculate this on paper, calculated it in mind, both would hit the ground same time after 20secs (appox.) of being dropped.

 

Right!! at least you paid attention to the physics classes

Wrong!! The free fall Acceleration is 32 feet/sec/sec.
Now Calculate again.

 

i love math, but i am always confused with in KG, gram, bytes ... i am always putting only formula and try to get only answer as followed by formula. never treid that what the hell of they asked.
