One may only be able to accomplish this after he learns to "Waltz Up A Moonbeam."

Start those dancing lessons........now!!!

Agreed, zegoes......time to shoot this horse!

Rats, Melody!!!....that was supposed to be MY humourous answer!!!

Don't go stealing my material........LOL!!

We haven't been able to rightly determine that.......While true that at least SOME of the points on this line "lie," a recent polygraph has shown that, indeed, other points tend to tell the truth  - at least, most of the time. One should remember though, that "Poly Graph" evidence isn't  usually seen by the court system as being as reliable as "Cartesian Graph" evidence, so the jury is still out - so to speak......

Well.....excuse me now......I have to move on to an equally pressing problem of trying to determine the number of drops of water contained by the Pacific Ocean......my working hypothesis is that we can put them in a perfect one-to-one correspondence with the "lying" points on this line, but only for a short while......Global Warming will eventually win out and the Pacific will be bone-dry within 5 years......(If my calculations are correct!....)

Well.....each "candy" must be cylindrical in shape and has a volume of

pi x r^2*h = pi x .25 * 1 = .25pi in³

And since the jar has a capacity of 104 in³

Then the number of candies it will hold = 104 /( .25 * pi) ≈ 132 candies

Easy, Anonymous.....Let's not turn Water into Whine.......

Well.....you're probably not "stupid'..it required some level of intelligence to find your way here, didn't it??...you just might know the answer to this question.

Remember........a man is considered wise if he admits he doesn't know something...

Well....enough of my pearls of wisdom

The answer is 15! = 1,307,674,368,000

The "!" is known as a  "factorial'

Let me give you a simpler example of this......Suppose we had three books on a shelf and we wanted to know how many different ways we could arrange them. Well, we have:

(3 ways to select the first book) x (2 ways to select the second book) x (1 way to select the last book) = 3 x 2 x1 = 3!

So, you can extrapolate this to your basketball roster by

15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x..........x 3 x 2 x1 = 15!

And that's it......Good luck to you...

(4 flavors) x (8 toppings) = 32 choices

.084 / 7 = .012kg

So we have

(√5 -3)²  =

(√5 -3) (√5 -3) ....which gives us

√5*√5 - 3√5 -3√5 +(-3)(-3)

5 - 6√5 + 9

14 - 6√5
