Wracked my brains for over half a day on this one to arrive at some definitive conclusion.... The problem statement is to find the Nth prime above a certain threshold number. For example, find the 306th prime no. Here is the solution : //Find the Nth prime number above 50... int nc=0; int j = 50; while (true) { j += 1; if ((j % 2) == 0) { continue; } else if (((j % 3) == 0)) { continue; } else if (((j % 5) == 0)) { continue; } else if (((j % 7) == 0)) { continue; } else if (((j % 11) == 0)) { continue; } else if (((j % 13) == 0)) { ...

This is an elegant problem...The idea is to find the Nth term in the series where n + R(n) is divisible by 13 and R(n) is the inverted number n. eg) 150 becomes 015. The solution in C# is simple enough..if you think a little... //Reversed Multiples int cn = 0; int lc = 0; while (true) { lc += 1; char[] a = lc.ToString().ToCharArray(); string xa = new string(a.Reverse().ToArray()); if (((lc + double.Parse(xa)) % 13) == 0) { cn += 1; if (cn == 10000) break; } } MessageBox.Show(lc.ToString());

Found another good problem...the idea is to find all 6 digit numbers where the sum of the first 3 digits is equal to the sum of the last 3 digits and calculate the total N of these. Here is a function in C# that does the work... public string GetLuckyNos() { string si = String.Empty; ArrayList ar = new ArrayList(); for (int i = 999999; i>=100000 ; i--) { try { int sa = 0; string a = i.ToString().Substring(0, 3); for (int h = 0; h { sa += int.Parse(a[h].ToString()); } int sb=0; string b = i.ToString().Substring(3, 3); for (int h = 0; h { sb += int.Parse(b[h].ToString()); } ...

The problem statement is to get the largest three digit number that contains as many 1's in it's binary representation as a given three digit number. GetIntBinaryString is a custom function that i found on the net that converts an integer into it's binary string equivalent. public string GetIntBinaryString(int n) { char[] b = new char[32]; int pos = 31; int i = 0; while (i { if ((n & (1 { b[pos] = '1'; } else { b[pos] = '0'; } pos--; i++; } return new string(b); } Here is the core logic developed by me : int cn = 0; int sn = 0; string si = String.Empty; string sit = String.Empty; ArrayList ar = new ArrayList(); s...

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” Martin Luther King

Children are generally prohibited from watching horror flicks. Is this prudent in the light of current scientific analysis? Here is the rationale... The frontal lobes of the brain that deal with the rationalization of scary situations are also less developed in very young children. This means they may struggle to make sense of their automatic fear responses. Cortisol released during flight-or-fight responses reinforces memories of the event and, without appropriate frontal lobe controls, this can result in the feeling of fear recurring long afterwards. This might explain why children will often have recurring nightmares after watching a scary movie.

I have decided to shed some light on thought provoking issues in contemporary science.. Just pause to reflect.. As the internet continues to grow exponentially would citizens of the world organize themselves into cybernations administered by cybergovernments ? May be this could be the dawn of a new form of more inclusive governance (and maybe more just?). Please advise.

I found a very simple electronics problem online and am posting it for your reference. Link to Problem My solution : Principle 1.A diode presents less impedance than a lamp. 2.Current follows the path of least resistance. 3.A diode can conduct only when forward biased. 4.If the frequency of the source is sufficiently high then the eye sees the flashing lights as a continuous source. (persistence of vision). Answers Applying 1,2,3,4. 1.Lamp L2 is ON. 2.Lamp L1 is ON. 3.Both appear to be ON.(though actually they alternate).

Took a quiz to find out which cute animal I resemble. Here are the results : You Are A: Chipmunk ! Everyone adores these cute woodland animals, known for the stripe that runs down their back. Famously timid, chipmunks will quickly scurry to the safety of their burrows if danger approaches. As a chipmunk, you eat mostly seeds and nuts, but you may sample bird eggs and insects from time to time. You were almost a: Groundhog or a Mouse You are least like a: Duck or a Monkey Cute Animals Test Interesting..huh
