Math is Crazy







Today, I'm gonna say about the crazy mathe. Also, give you a problem to solve. Mathematics are really crazy, it's so crazy that you never can imagine. Sometimes, it is so awesome that you don't know, sometimes it makes you freak out by providing tons tons of laws and rules.

1*1=1
11*11=121
111*111=12321
1111*1111=1234321
11111*11111=123454321

Another amzing things of mathematics:

1*9+2=11
12*9+3=111
123*9+4=1111
1234*9+5=11111
12345*9+6=111111

You know that the computers are running by doing millions of millions of mathematics in a tiny second. Do you know that how many things computer know actually?
Actually, computers know mainly two things: 0 (zero) and 1.
These are the only two things all computers know, and they are doing an awesome jobs by using those.

Now, I'm giving you the problem. You have to defend with your logics. The problem is:

Remember that: "Forget about percentages when it comes to the LEAP grades. Think about letters and think about what they mean in the great wide world."
(To clarify, you should think about the grades that weigh.)

The statements are:
1. If you always get Cs in all the works in the LEAP, you will get F finally.
2. If you get Bs, you will get C in total.

Prove: Well, You know very well that



A=4 (the highest), B = 3, C = 2, and F = 0 (the lowest).

Lets take three assignments that you have already completed, and you also have the grades. The grades are like that:
In the 1st assignment, you obtained C (=2)
In the 2nd assignment, you also obtained C (=2)
In the 3rd assignmenet, you obtained C (=2) as well

Therefore, the total points you obtained = 2+2+2=6
So, the average = 6/3 = 2 (the average means the value which you obtained in every assignments)
As a result, the total percentige = (2/4)*100% = 50% (by calculating)

That means the total grade should be F. There should be no doubt.

If you go through with B, then see what happen:
In all 4 assignments you obtained B (=3)s
Therefore, the average in this case = (3+3+3+3)/4 =3
so, your acheved percentige = (3/4)*100% = 75%
That means your achieved grade is C.
[Proved]
I think you have already freaked out, and thinking what you should do.

Or thinking that there is something wrong. It's your work what is the fault. Then, show a way that is perfect.

Actually, a lot of people think that math does not blander, human being does.
This is a real example what a man does and the mathe can do. Actually, mathe is like a parrot. Mathe always talks as it is learnt by the programmers. So, mathe does blander if it is not perfected from the basic point.

Catch 22


Last Sunday, I was in the catch 22. At one side I had a nice time; on the other hand, I did not want that nice time because you know we had a lot of things to do: essay assignment for chapter 10, grammar quiz, and then the reading quiz. Oh! so crazy. I don't know how many people got crazy like me. I think nobody would go crazy unless he or she was not aware of the lessons before. I had another task which was I had to return some books that borrowed from the Doucette Library because that day was due for those day. Actually, they were due last Saturday, but I am so lazy that I don't care whatever happens. I just returned those books the day after they were due. So, at first I had a lot of things to do, but I lost 3 hours in returning the works. Then, after coming from the university, I became too tired to do the assignments. Therefore, I decided to take rest instead of starting my study. Finally, I started studying in the evening. However, some guests had come and they were talking. Actually, the drawing room was beside my bedroom. Everybody was talking and gossiping. I was reading my reading books. I was so concentrated that I could not go to the next line until the guests left our appartment. When the guests had gone, it was our dinner time. After taking the dinners, I started studying again. This is time, another guest was present. Do you now who is the guest? The sleeping guest. That means, I started feel sleepy. Wow! At last the guest had come to visit me. Ok! What should I do my audience? I just started sleeping. After getting up in the morning, I just went to the university. I hadn't done nothing. However, I mentioned before that I had tons tons of homework. Just think yourself what I did. I didn't like talk about it too much. Actually, I was in a lot of "Catch 22"s.
