*sigh* . . Morning y'all, I congratulates the FINALISTS, though...It was'nt expected of me to miss out the last round of this great competition...buh, der's nothing I could do to ascertain that. I thank God! As per yesterday, I thank you all for ur concern(either +ve or -ve). Though, I tried my possible best to participate fully but all were to no avail. Albeit, I've really learnt alot since the commencement of this quiz so to say, and has indeed gladdens my heart seeing we(Nigerian students) performing utmostly and outstandingly GREAT. I pray God help us in Jesus name(Amen). Kudos y'all. #Cheers. GOD BLESS NIGERIA. |

factorial1: *sigh* Hey bro, don't lose hope yet. I won't be chanced to participate in the finals coz I got some issues to attend to. Richiez said the next eligible contestant will be substituted. You should definitely be the one. Best of luck |

Richiez: Final Round 4 Question One-half means 1.5, not 0.5. Dr Gboy was right. The question is faulty. Most of the participants didn't notice it because we we're all suffering from hot-seat syndrome then. Solving the question above AS IT IS gives x = -10/11 ! I never knew General Jackpot is guru-ish enough to ascribe a negative age to herself. If she's truly -10/11 years old, then it only means one thing: SHE'S STILL IN HER MOTHER'S WOMB!!! |

smurfy:One-Half is 0.5, Its different from saying One and a Half which is 1.5; |

All questions in the final round will be "obj type" 50 questions in all and each finalist will be allowed to choose between numbers 1-50 ....there will be 5 cycles of choice-making for the finalists. for example, the 5 finalists will make their choices each for the first cycle, and then another cycle of choice-making starts until it is repeated 5 times. this means that the total number of questions that will be asked out of the 50 available questions is 5questions per cycle x 5 cycles =25questions Now, finalists should note that they have just 5mins per question. although each choice of question is meant for the finalist that chose them, all finalists are advised to work out the answer along with the finalist that made the choice. This is because if after 5mins, the quiz masters get no reply from the finalist that chose a question, the floor will then be open for 1min to all other finalists to provide the answer so that they can earn bonus points. any other finalist that posts his/her answer after the stipulated time won't be offered the bonus point. All answers will be posted here on this thread....answers sent to email won't be acknowledged. Note that only the finalist that chose a particular number is expected to post the answer to the question chosen. other finalists that posts answers before they are told to do so will be penalized. (minus 1pt) The Score card will be published at the end of the round and not after each question. also the full solution to any question won't be published...just the correct obj answer, i.e either A, B, C, D, or E will be published. This is to save time. More Updates coming your way soon............. |

bitex2:Well, I don't know what you mean by "its because of its negative sign" but let me explain The equation is n(n - 1) = 99750156 Using the approximation as explained earlier Sqrt of 99750156 = 9987.5 Round up and down to get 9987 & 9988 These two numbers are n and (n-1) n is greater than n-1 n is the unknown in the equation Hence my reason for choosing n = 9988 as the solution i.e 9988 (9988 - 1) = 99750156 This is just one of the solutions to the equation. To get the other, use the same procedure but this time, Sqrt of 99750156 = - 9987.5 Round up and down to get - 9987 & - 9988 The same way, n is the bigger of the two. Hence n = - 9987 (-9987)*(-9987 - 1) = 99750156 This means the solution to the equation n^2 - n - 99750156 = 0 is n = - 9987 or 9988 This also means if we wanted to factorize, we'll get ( n + 9987 ) ( n - 9988 ) = 0 We can even generalize that an equation that is factorizable in the format; n^2 - n - z = 0 will be ( n + a ) ( n - b ) = 0 Where a is the rounded down value of the sqrt of z while b is the rounded up value of the sqrt of z Similarly n^2 + n - z = 0 will be (n - a ) ( n + b ) = 0 1 Like |
