    PS: I don't explain it because would take time and I'd need to draw some figures. If the answer is correct I'll explain everything.

    Yeah, it is 12. Nicely done! I couldn't get it, I had to have it shown to me. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    And I'll post another, easier question, just because math is fun. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    Two circles, both with a radius of 10, are tangent to each other. A tangent is drawn from the center of one circle, to the other circle. To the nearest interger, what is the area of the gray region?

    Poor people dont have nothing, they have something. Rich people always want something.

    I'm pretty sure nothing remotely rhymes with orange...so it would probably be a better word than silver...which ends in er, and plenty of words end in er...and rhyme a little.

    the answer is a grave.
    the maker of the grave is a grave digger he doesnt need it
    the buyer is a relative of the deceased and doesnt use the grave
    and the user is the deceased and since he is dead doesnt know of it

    The area is 50*sqrt(3) - 25*pi = 8.06...

    So the nearest integer is 8

    Cos you stupidly left your camera in your bag, which got lost at the airport on your journey over here.

    What?

    Its right. It's as good an answer as any. You canot take a picture because you dont have (access to) a camera.

    I've been trying to solve a little logic question i found in the back of a magazine i got the first two answers but then got a massive mind block and gave up on the rest :/ I got the answers and heres the question for all your enjoyment. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Given that:
    A)All those who tremble tromble
    B)All those who tremble trumble
    C)All those who tromble trimble
    D)Some who tromble do not trumble

    Which of the following are neccessarilly true, which are false and which are neither

    1)Some who trumble do not trimble
    2)Some who tromble neither trimble nor trumble
    3)All who trimble trumble
    4)All who trumble trimble
    5)All who tremble trimble

    Edit/ First post ^^
    Edit2/ fixed typo sorry firestorm all the trimbling is kinda confuszing. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, the area is 8. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But for the first one, I did it differently. This is how:

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->Start by joining the centres of the circles to form triangle C1C2C3 ( the lines that join the centers pass through the corresponding lines of tangency.)

    Then we make a rectangle around the traingle, as the diagram shows. ?If the radius of the C1 is r, we see that C1C2 = r + 9, C1C3 = r + 4, and C2C3 = 13.<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    <img src='http://www.myimgs.com/data/Fermat/circletrangle%20.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
    The next diagram is labeled to show this. ?Since the radius of the large circle is 3, and the radius of C2 is 9, the length of C1D is r - 9. ?This way you also figure out C1A and BC2.
    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    <img src='http://www.myimgs.com/data/Fermat/traingle%20square.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
    Then using Pythagoras you derive that in traingle AC3C2:

    C3A^2 = (r+4)^2 - (r-4)^2
    ? ? ?= 16r

    So C3A = 4 * sqrt r

    Use Pythagoras again to find DC2 ( it is 6 * sqrt r) and C3B ( it is sqrt(-4r^2+52r)).

    Since a rectangle has opposite sides equal:

    DC2=C3A + C3B

    Sub in the values we had before for these lengths to get:

    2 * sqrt r = sqrt(-4r^2+52r)

    Square that to get

    4r = -4r^2 + 52r
    4r^2 - 48r = 0
    4r(r-12)=0

    So r is either 12 or 0. ?Since it can't be 0 it is 12.
    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
