Answer to #4 is 5.9. The answer yaladilae gave isn't actually right because it doesn't give a number between 5 and 9, it just says five is greater than nine.

The answer to number one should be an hour, unless I misunderstood you. If you only cook one at a time, that's twenty minutes for each.

I'm pretty sure yaladilae's answer to number six is wrong too. It should just be thirteen hours and twenty-nine minutes.

I'm pretty sure the answer to number three is actually three.

And I'll work out number seven in a minute.

Edit: The answer to number seven is 120 graboids, 64 shriekers, and 16 FFQ's.

number 3:
To be sure, to have a 100% chance of probablity of picking 1 red and 1 blue, you actually need to pick all 60.... Nevermind LOL

number 6:
Prehaps his wording is incorrect. Say the bowl has size 4, at 13:30 the cell split to 4, then the 0.0000000000....1 milisec ago it hasnt yet split so it should be 2, i.e half of 4
On second thought, he just said 13:30 is bowl full, assume the cell cant split at bowl full, then it could have been bowl full any time before 13:30, e.g it could have been bowl full since 2 hours ago

number 4:
I agree 5.9, I am just implying 5>9 meaning x is bigger then 5 and smaller then 9 (x>5 x<9)... your answer is better

For number three he said you want to pick two of the same color. So you only need to take three.

Every minute the cells double. So a minute before 13:30 there are half the amount of cells there were at 13:30.

And he asked for only one symbol. You'd fail any test involving inequalities if you wrote 5>9 or 20>1000. The actual format for what you're trying to say is 5<x<9. That requires three symbols.

1. Six sides, 5 minutes each, two at a time. 6/2 = 3, 3*5 = 15.
2. Rotate right. 8136.
3. 3. There are only two kinds.
4. ±, though that's stretching it a bit. An inequality is true or false, it does not produce a number. A decimal separator is not a mathematical sign/symbol in that sense.
5. 10
6. 13:29
7. There are 120 graboids. Assuming the only types of creatures attending are the three listed, there are 64 Shiekers and 16 Fire Queens.
8. Armagio walks for 4 hours. Assuming no other events take any time, Phoenix also walks for the same time. 31 kph for 4 hours takes you a distance of 124 km.

Phoenix has travelled 24km, Armagio has 20km to go.

Phoenix returns to Armagio. He takes ~40 minutes. Armagio has travelled another 4kms.
Phoenix reaches Armagio at 17kms, ~30 minutes of walking.
Phoenix has travelled 41kms, Armagio has 17kms to go.

Phoenix takes the half hour trip back.
Phoenix has travelled 58kms, Armagio has 14kms to go.

And so on. cbf doing the rest.

1) 20 minutes
First, put in one toadfish.  Five minutes later, when the time comes to flip it, put in the second toadfish.  After 10 minutes, the first fish is done and you flip the second fish, adding in the third fish.  After 15 minutes, you flip the third toadfish and take out the second.  After 20 you're done.

2)8136
3) Three.
After the first skeleton, you could have either red or blue.  After the second, you could have red and blue.  The third, however, has to be either red or blue, matching one of the first two.

4) A decimal point.  5.9

5)10

6) 13:29.  If the amount doubles every minute, then it took a minute for it to go from half full to full.

7) 120 graboids, 64 shriekers, 12 firefly queens

8 ) I'm going to be a smartass and say 24 km.  No matter how long the Phoenix walks, it's always the same 24 km.


All of these were easy, except for the last one, which you googled anyway.  I'll hit back with harder stuff when I think of one.

One piece of Toad Fish is baking 10 minutes, 5 minutes on each side. In the pan there can be only 2 Toad fishes.How fast can you possible in one pan, cook 3 Toad Fishes?
1:Answer
2:How
15 minutes.  Slice all 3 Toad Fish fillets in half to make 6 fillets of 1/2 thickness.  At 1/2 thickness, they should bake in 1/2 the time, or 5 minutes per 2 fillets, for a total of 15 minutes over 6 fillets.

Everyone else has the other answers right. :)

You don't really need to slice them, just put 2 in the pan for 5 minutes, flip one and take the other one out and put in the third one. After another 5 minutes, you have the first one cooked, the second and third one half cooked, so you take the first toadfish out flip the third one and put the half cooked second toadfish in again. After another 5 minutes, all three are cooked. 15 minutes.
