The monkey and the coconuts is the best known representative of a class of puzzle problems requiring integer solutions structured as recursive division or fractionating of some discretely divisible quantity, with or without remainders, and a final division into some number of equal parts, possibly with a remainder.
Lucas from San Mateo, CA, tells Kelly Clarkson how he created a real-life time machine! He documented his entire life for a year with Spectacle glasses and then took the footage and imported it ...
How to Build a Time Machine by Paul Davies is a 2002 physics book that discusses the possibilities of time travel.It was published by Penguin Books.In this book, Davies discusses why time is relative, how this relates to time travel, and then lays out a "blueprint" for a real time machine.

In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x , denoted ⌈ x ⌉ or ceil( x ) .
The Time Machine, an 1895 novel by H. G. Wells; Time Machine (short story series), a 1959–1989 series of stories published in Boys' Life magazine; Time Machine (novel series), a 1984–1989 series of children's adventures
If real computation were physically realizable, one could use it to solve NP-complete problems, and even #P-complete problems, in polynomial time. Unlimited precision real numbers in the physical universe are prohibited by the holographic principle and the Bekenstein bound .
Division and square roots took 13(d+1) cycles, where d is the number of digits in the result (quotient or square root). So a division or square root took up to 143 cycles, or 28,600 microseconds—a rate of 35 per second. (Wilkes 1956:20 [21] states that a division with a 10-digit quotient required 6 milliseconds.) If the result had fewer than ...
