riddle

ayatollah

There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

Our man in Havana

none

If they were unlisted they wouldn't be in the phonebook:)

ayatollah

A quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat! Because if you do, the test would be no fun.

There are no Tricks to the test. Read this sentence:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Important, count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again.

correct!!!

One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. :-) There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.

7 & 11 (1 + prime numbers)

they are not excluding squares (4) because 1 is also a square.

bonkey

7 & 11 if you have ascending primes.
8 & 13 if you are using a Fib. Series.

Both are entirely correct.

Whats a fib. series?

Cerberus

It's a series of numbers that a dude called Leonardo Fibonacci came up with in the 13th century to determine how many rabbits would be in a field after a certain period of time (a month say)given that there was initially 2 breeding rabbits.

The series goes like this:
You have two intial terms 0 and 1.
In order to get the next term n, you add the two previous terms n-1 and n-2.
So to get the next term after 0 and 1 you add the two together to give 1.
You add 1 and 1 to get the next term 2. Then next one is 1 + 2 = 3 and so on.
So you get something like..
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34.......
It famous cos this sequence and a number derived from the ratio between the n-1th and n-2th terms, called the Golden ratio, can be seen in nature a lot - namely spirals.

Victor

How does that apply to rabbits?
