A Thought Puzzle

Unread post by Cruisin with Tooz »

You are a contestant on a game show, where you have to choose 1 of 3 doors. Behind 1 door is the prize. Behind the other 2 doors are worthless booby prizes. After you make your selection, the MC opens 1 of the 2 unselected doors to show you the location of 1 of the booby prizes. He then gives you the option to change your selection to the other unopened unselected door. Should you switch your choice?

Please refrain from posting your reason for your choice for now. I want everyone to vote their choice without being influenced.

Nah, he's a drinker, drunk as a skunk usually. Probably a stoner too. Brain dead.

Dude you have no f[raiders_icon]cking Idea.

Stopping hitting the pipe for a year now. Had the same problem Willie had. f[raiders_icon]cked with my breathing. Fortunately for him he can get all the gummies he wants and not skip a beat.

I won't get political here with this shit state who disregards the vote of the people.

I also stopped drinking other than a beer or two to go with my cooks.

Yer right. I'm pretty f[raiders_icon]cking edgy these days..... Back when I built my house 35 years ago, I guess it was OK to stick a 4 inch sewer pipe into a 6 inch pipe bypassing a f[raiders_icon]cking adapter that is required these days.

Tree roots found the seeping water and made a home . Sewer backup ......

13,000.00 later

Yes, I'm f[raiders_icon]cking walking the ledge.

I wish I was still hitting the pipe and having a few unwinders....

:bawling:

Stiil love you X

Sorry to hear but health rules the day.

My neighbor and friend who was a season ticket holder for our Oakland Raiders was responsible for nearly every Raider game I attended the last 25 years (in Oakland) as he would call me when he had an extra ticket. He was good for 2-4 games a year. We were texting all things Raiders right up to December 15. Just after Christmas I get a text from him but it was his daughter. She said two days before Christmas she took her dad to the ER because he was acting strange. Ended up being a very aggressive brain tumor that wasn’t treatable. His personality already gone by Christmas and he died last week. Early 60s and just retired 14 months ago. Cheers to my Raider brother Dr. Ed L. Newly retired ER physician.

Not to drag anybody down but as long as we have our health, other issues can be managed.

Cheers bra and cheers to Ed as I still see him enjoying his sips of Crown Royal at Raider tailgates

Thought Puzzle #2 :

Answer is C, equal amounts.

Explanation:
After the 1st tablespoon transfer, there is 1 tablespoon of milk in the coffee. What's in the 2nd tablespoon? Let X be the amount of milk in that tablespoon. How much coffee is in that 2nd tablespoon? Since the milk and coffee have to add up to 1 tablespoon, the amount of coffee in that tablespoon is 1-X. When you transfer that to the milk cup, there will be a final volume of 1-X tablespoons of coffee in the milk cup. Whats the final volume of milk in the coffee cup? You had 1 tablespoon from the 1st transfer, then removed X amount of milk in the 2nd tablespoon, so the final volume of milk in the coffee cup is also 1-X tablespoons. You would get the same result even if you didnt stir the coffee before drawing off the 2nd tablespoon. You could even gently float the milk on top and carefully draw any part or all of the milk off and the result would be the same. Equal amounts of each in both cups.

I put C originally because I thought we were talking volume only. But if you deep dive, it appear we are talking about the ingredients being diluted.

Tricky.
