In the problem of envy-free cake-cutting, there is a cake modeled as an interval, and agents with different value measures over the cake. The value measures are accessible only via queries of the form "evaluate a given piece of cake" or "mark a piece of cake with a given value".
The Ages of Three Children puzzle (sometimes referred to as the Census-Taker Problem [1]) is a logical puzzle in number theory which on first inspection seems to have insufficient information to solve. However, with closer examination and persistence by the solver, the question reveals its hidden mathematical clues, especially when the solver ...
The corresponding Sylvester problem asks for 7 different S(2,3,9) systems of 12 triples each, together covering all () = triples. This solution was known to Bays (1917) which was found again from a different direction by Earl Kramer and Dale Mesner in a 1974 paper titled Intersections Among Steiner Systems (J Combinatorial Theory, Vol 16 pp 273 ...
There seems to be a discrepancy, as there cannot be two answers ($29 and $30) to the math problem. On the one hand it is true that the $25 in the register, the $3 returned to the guests, and the $2 kept by the bellhop add up to $30, but on the other hand, the $27 paid by the guests and the $2 kept by the bellhop add up to only $29.
Social Security is the U.S. government’s biggest program; as of June 30, 2024, about 67.9 million people, or one in five Americans, collected Social Security benefits.This year, we’re seeing a ...
At the Sonic 3 premiere in London Dec. 10, Carrey joked to the Associated Press that the reason he signed on for the new film was because "I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly."
Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.
Adair, Iowa, had a population of 794. So, it seemed suspicious when its three-person police department asked regulators to buy 90 machine guns, including an M134 Gatling-style minigun capable of ...
