Mixing watercolour paints |
2008-09-07 |
|
From bob:
So, I'm making a chart to help me mix watercolor paints. There are
25 different paints. Each paint will mix with another paint just 1 time.
There is no need to mix red with blue, and then blue with red. Since
the result is the same, we only need 1 combination of the 2 paints.
And there is no need to mix red with red, so we can eliminate 25
combinations of the same paint.

A hat of a different color |

From Kirstin:
A teacher made a deal with 3 of his students. He said that if you can guess what color hat you have on your head without looking, I will pass you. There were 2 red hats and 3 blue hats. The deal worked like this: The three students would close there eyes, and the teacher would put a hat on each of their heads and then hide the other 2. Then one at a time, the students would open their eyes and try to figure out what color hat was on their head. The student could guess or pass. This is what happened when they put their deal to the test: A boy named Arturo was first and opened his eyes but wasn't sure so he passed so he didn't get it wrong. Belicia was next and she passed too because she wasn't sure. Also she thought about the fact that Arturo didn't know. Carletta was last and without even opening her eyes, she knew for sure what color hat she was wearing and her answer was right. So i have to figure out what color hat she's wearing for sure.
