Wow....a good start....

hey hey...good news to share...i relaised my fav subject in pri sec poly n now NUS has been maths all along....i delcare my love for maths to be....of so much..so deep...falling deeply in love especially i took GEK module living with mathematics....even drew me closer to maths....really a very interesting subject worth exploring....today had a living with maths tutorial...which tok about theories and also concepts plus logic....very interesting....





There's this question about 3 boxes and 2 of the statement is false while one for the message on the box is true....den we have to find the box with the diamond....here goes the "story"





A participant of a game show is presented with 3 boxes marked A, B, C in which 1 box contain 24-carat diamond while other two contains peanuts... the participant is only allowed to open one box and at most one fo the 3 statement is true. Which box should she open??





A: " This box contains a diamond."


B: "This box contains peanuts."


C: " Box A contains peanuts. "





Model answer....cant solve by yrself?? here goes....





If the statement on Box B is true, then the statements on A n C are false. Since the statement on Box C is false, Box A contains Diamond and hence the statement on Box A is true, a CONTRADICTION. Thus the statement on box B is false. Hence Box B contains a Diamond.!!!





Similarly, if C is true, A and C must be false. Box A contains Peanuts while box B contains Diamond.!!!





Heehee....that's all for today's maths pondering question...back to daily routine...hee





yeah....although today had a super long lecture, but still i managed to tong thru the lessons...jus that lecture kept slping....really must buck up my stamina and concentration level le...must jiayou...den lab session first time i know how to do ( well jus follow the lab tutor instructions. ) and also got a fruitful day today...learnt quite a few stuffs....
