Which is why we fail. Because of the american largese, their refrigerators are bigger than real, but their giraffes are zoo dwarfs  A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work

Those items are expensive wapi Ephraim Maina, the man whose constituency never run out of jiggers and a case study for NGOs and the world? He should come up with another price control bill for balls and bats. "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

Simple simultaneous equations Let bt be equal to bat and bl be qual to ball bt + bl = 1.10 bl + 1 = bt hence bl + bt =1.10 bl - bt =-1 bl = 1.10 -bt Replacing bl in the second equation 1.10 - bt - bt = -1 -bt-bt = -1-1.10 hence 2bt = 2.10 bt = 2.10/2 bt =1.05 while we know bl + bt =1.10 hence bl + 1.05 = 1.10 bl = 0.05 Was bored after work and with no money for TGIF that is why i did all that!! lakini hii hesabu was for which class?? update president set president = speaker where president is null

Ok ya ball and bat tushaamua, like someone said if you do it mentally, it seems like a simple problem, but if you actually calculate you get it. Now the question about machines, can someone show calculation of why they arrived at 5 min, I think Statmeister came up with 5 min, coz I came up with a different answer.
At Drunkard, keep them coming, mental acrobatics are fun.

Aii Toxicity your math is too complicated , keep it simple. Bat +Ball = 1.10 X + X+1 = 1.10 2X+1 = 1.10 2X = 1.10- 1 2X = 0.10 X =0.05 Simple

It seems more complicated for me than my method, but anyways there are many ways to skin a cat.

Arĩa moĩ gwĩka mathafu, nĩ meke rĩrĩ nginya ona-rĩo rĩigue nĩrĩekũo :) Proof that 1 = 0 Let X = 0 X (x-1) = 0 x-1 = 0 x = 1 but x = 0 => 1 = 0 A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work

Proof that 1 = 0
Let X = 0
X (x-1) = 0
x-1 = 0
x = 1
but x = 0
=> 1 = 0
Aiiiiiiii!!!!.....ithafu rikuo??...!!...how?? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

@Drunkard. So if you got 2 balls and another group have approx. 30 pair of buts, you are worth the same?

Let X = 0
X (x-1) = 0
x-1 = 0
x = 1
but x = 0
=> 1 = 0
Now there you have lied!!  If X=0 your equation X(x-1) = 0 would become 0(x-1) = 0 you would have to solve the parenthesis thus 0*x=0 and 0*1=0 thus 0=0 Will someone pliz solve the machine and lily one pliz???

sorry to hijack this thread i found this amazing

Proof that 1 = 0
Let X = 0
X (x-1) = 0
x-1 = 0
x = 1
but x = 0
=> 1 = 0

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence
