A six team league to play a 20 game schedule |
2015-10-19 |
|
From Kelly:
Hi there. Some of your posts are close, but my problem is evening out the home
and away games. We have 6 teams in our league and we are going to play a 20
game schedule, playing everyone 4 times. We will play Fridays and Saturdays,
each weekend. Of course the ideal would be to have each team have a home and
an away game each weekend, but I realize that is impossible, but I would like it as
close as possible. Any help would be much appreciated!! We also were considering
opening with a home and away - Friday then Saturday with the same teams. Then
carrying on with playing everyone else and then possibly finishing up with the same
home and home

Acres of cattle waste |
2015-10-19 |
|
From Chris:
In my first math problem, I found out that 100 cows will produce 21900 ft3 of waste over a year. However I don't know how to do the second part. How many acres of land would a farmer need to spread the waste on if he wanted it to be more that 6 inches deep? Thank you.

Six teams playing five games |
2015-10-18 |
|
From Aidan:
I have six teams that will be playing five games.
I want each team to play each game once and each team to play each other team once.
Is this possible or should I add an extra round and let some teams play each other twice?

The flight of a ping pong ball |
2015-10-13 |
|
From Abigail:
Hello,
Wondering if there is a way to figure out the quadratic equation of half of a parabola?
Doing an assignment about finding quadratic equations for separate bounces of a ping pong ball, but the first bounce is incomplete (as the ball has presumably been dropped, hit the ground and then went on to make a complete bounce).
Please see attachment for references to the diagram that I am using.
Not sure whether I would have to look at it from a different perspective.
Thanks,
Abi

How can the probability be zero? |

From anagha:
Hi,
thank you for answering (beforehand)
The other day I was just thinking of circles and I came across this peculiar thing.
Most of'em say that there are infinite number of points on the circumference.
and, if it is true, if we spin the radius, the probability that it will point a a particular point is 1/infinity, right?
It didn't make any sense to me and so, I thought there might be an explanation or something of the kind...?
