Assume for a moment that the earth is a perfectly uniform
sphere of radius 6400 km. Suppose a thread equal to the
length of the circumference of the earth was placed along
the equator, and drawn to a tight fit.
Now suppose that the length of the thread is increased by 12
cm, and that it is pulled away uniformly in all directions.
By how many cm. will the thread be separated from the
earth's surface?

Answer / guest
The cicumference of the earth is
= 2 * PI * r
= 2 * PI * 6400 km
= 2 * PI * 6400 * 1000 m
= 2 * PI * 6400 * 1000 * 100 cm
= 1280000000 * PI cm
where r = radius of the earth, PI = 3.141592654
Hence, the length of the thread is = 1280000000 * PI cm
Now length of the thread is increasd by 12 cm. So the new
length is = (1280000000 * PI) + 12 cm
This thread will make one concentric circle with the earth
which is slightly away from the earth. The circumfernce of
that circle is nothing but (1280000000 * PI) + 12 cm
Assume that radius of the outer circle is R cm
Therefore,
2 * PI * R = (1280000000 * PI) + 12 cm
Solving above equation, R = 640000001.908 cm
Radius of the earth is r = 640000000 cm
Hence, the thread will be separatedfrom the earth by
= R - r cm
= 640000001.908 - 640000000
= 1.908 cm

Answer / superpogi
R = old radius
R' = new radius
x = 12 cm
old length = 2piR
new length = 2piR' = 2piR + x
R' = R + x/(2pi)
separation = x/(2pi) = 12/(2pi) = 1.91 cm

Answer / roop anand
radius=6400000cm
circumference=2*pi*r
=2*3.14*6400000
=40192000cm
length is elongated by 12cm..
so circumference is increased br 12cm..
2*pi*r=40192000+12
=40192012cm
the new radius = 2*pi*r/2*pi
=40192000/2*(3.14)
=6400001.911
therefore the length of the distance its seperated from the
surface is = 6400001.911-640000
=1.911cm

At the entrance to a members club stands a stranger seeking admission. A friend told him that it's easy to get in. You just have to answer a question corrcetly! Answering wrong, however, will result in being shot! To live a little longer, the man waits in a back alley near the entrance for people to go in. After a while a man comes to the entrance. The door warden asks him: "Twelve?" to which he replies "Six!" and goes in. "That's easy." our friend thinks, but he waits a little longer. Another man comes to the door. "Six?" the door warden asks, to which he replies "Three!" and goes in. "That's too good to be true" our friend thinks, and he was right. Because, when asked "Four?", he answered "Two!" and was found dead in the alley. What was the correct answer?

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following addition problem true. W H O S E T E E T H A R E + A S ------------------- S W O R D S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter H, no other letter can be 3 and all other H in the puzzle must be 3.
