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.

Hi, Scott,
the problem is not for you. Before your solution, I like to see everybody's reaction. But, you can put your comments and solve the problems after this week.
Thanks.

Oh, okay . . . I won't say anything, but I can tell you that my head is swimming :-)

Felice said...

Wow! Did you create this theory yourself?:) I still don't get how you get F from C or C from B. I guess I need to revise my math :)

Hi Alif,
Maybe you are a genious mathematician? Then you dont need such deep knowledge of a foreign language. You will be always provided with a interpreter.

I actually saw such a bycicle next to MAC hole. I really liked these wiered problems that resutls on 123321 or what ever.

What are you going to study again?

Alif said...

Well, Scott,
That's enough comments.
Look like everybody is defeated.
Now, I think you can solve the problem.
Thanks.
