If this is just one of those trick questions, the answer to your question:
What day is it?
Would be today, or here in the US, Wednesday ??
no it's got to be president's day, because it's way too confused ;)
OK, not really sure how to post this chicken scratch I have here in front of me to give you an explanation, (it looks worse then a Madden replay) but I'm pretty sure the answer is Thursday.
Well, without an explanation... https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

What day is it? so we are thursday
I'm going to o ahead and give 3FS a point for the correct answer, and a full 3 to Graystone for the explanation.Quote:

What are the dimensions of the box?

Length=20, width=12, depth=15.
Height = 15 inchesQuote:

Side area = 15 * 20 = 300
End area = 12 * 15 = 180
Height = A
Width = B
Depth = C
A * C = Side = 300
A * B = Top = 240
B * C = End = 180
A little substition and we come up with the values indicated.
There ya go.Quote:

23.
By likely, we mean greater than 50% chance. With one person there is a 0 percent chance that you'll have two people with the same birthday. With two people the probability that they won't share a birthday is 364/365. The probability that they will share a birthday is therefore 1 - (364/365).
With three people the probability that they won't share a birthday is the same as for two people, times 363/365. So the probability that three people will share a birthday is 1 - (364/365) * (363/365). Notice that with each additional person added, the probability that they shares a birthday with one of the previous persons goes up, because there are fewer "free" days remaining. We keep adding people until the %age is greater than 50%. When we have 23 people the %age is 50.729%
