		From romel: describe two ways that a deck is square Answered by Penny Nom.
	Hexadecagon		2009-09-20
		From Rick: Is there an easy way to figure the even side lengths of a Hexadecagon in layman's terms, so I know how long to cut the exterior support boards for my pool deck. The pool is a 16' diameter Hexadecagon and my Wife wants a 4' wide splash deck all the way around which would make the outside 24' in diameter. Answered by Chris Fisher and Harley Weston.

		From lupio: a 20' pool is surrounded by a 3' wood deck, find the amount of material needed for the project Answered by Robert Dawson and Penny Nom.
	Constructing an octagonal deck around a circular pool		2007-04-20
		From Cliff: [I am building an] octagonal desk encompassing 17 foot diameter circle for pool. I have seen other octagonal calculations but none of these tell me how much allowance for a circle to fit within the octagon without losing the circle edge can anyone help thanks cliff Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	An octagonal deck		2006-10-29
		From R.M.: I am building an octagon deck and I want to know what length to cut the outside boards.The overall is 12ft. wide. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Building an octagon-shaped deck		2006-07-11
		From Maurice: I'm a landscaper and one of my customers wants me to build her an octagon shaped deck in the back yard that has a measurement of 16 by 16. I'm not sure of the way to measure for materials required. It will be built with 2 by 6 lumber with a half inch spacing between the 2 by 6. Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	An octagonal deck		2005-06-07
		From Scott: I want to build a octagonal deck. The wood I am using are cut in 8 foot lenghts. What I want to know is if the sides of the octagonal are 8 feet, what is the diameter. Also what are the angles of each side? Answered by Penny Nom.
	A new way to measure randomness		2003-12-31
		From Stephanie: Last year, I did a science project in which I asked, "Which shuffles better, an automatic card shuffler or shuffling by hand?" To measure this I decided the "best" shuffler was the one to become random first. Last year, to measure randomness, I numbered cards 1-52 and had the subjects shuffle them until they broke up the rising sequences or reached 10 shuffles. (Usually 10 shuffles came first...) Anyway, I did the same thing with the automatic card shuffler, and, as hypothesized, the automatic card shuffler randomized the deck first. This year, I have decided to continue the project. The problem is, I need a new way to measure randomness without the use of fancy computers or something. I have searched the Internet, I have posted my query on websites based on math, and I have searched the local library. I have found many useful things on the Internet, but none of them can tell me a new way to measure randomness. I cannot do a perfect shuffle, and I am not terribly gifted in the art of using computers. If you have any information (anything will help) or advice, I would be greatly obliged.

	A wooden deck around a pool		2003-07-09
		From Dat: A pond is enclosed by a wooden deck that is 3 feet wide. The fence surrounding the deck is 100 feet long. If the pond is square, what are its dimensions? If the pond is rectangular and the length of the is three times its width, what are the dimensions of the pond? If the pond is circular, what is the diameter of the pond? Which pond has the most area? Answered by Penny Nom.
	72 cards		2001-09-03
		From A student: What would be the probability of dealing a deck of 72 cards out in the exact orderly sequence that they were in when they were packaged after they have been throughly shuffled? Answered by Andrei Volodin.
