This list will hopefully improve your general knowledge of mathematical tricks and your speed when you need to do math in your head. 1.

The 11 Times Trick We all know the trick when multiplying by ten – add 0 to the end of the number, but did you know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it: Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will use 52: Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle: That is it – you have the answer: 572. If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1 to the first: 1089 – It works every time. 2.

If you need to square a 2 digit number ending in 5, you can do so very easily with this trick. 252 = (2x(2+1)) & 25 2 x 3 = 6 3. Most people memorize the 5 times tables very easily, but when you get in to larger numbers it gets more complex – or does it? Let’s try another: 4. 5. Mathematical joke. A mathematical joke is a form of humor which relies on aspects of mathematics or a stereotype of mathematicians to derive humor. The humor may come from a pun, or from a double meaning of a mathematical term, or from a lay person's misunderstanding of a mathematical concept. Mathematician and author John Allen Paulos in his book Mathematics and Humor described several ways that mathematics, generally considered a dry, formal activity, overlaps with humor, a loose, irreverent activity: both are forms of "intellectual play"; both have "logic, pattern, rules, structure"; and both are "economical and explicit".[1] Some performers combine mathematics and jokes to entertain and/or teach math.[2][3][4] Pun-based jokes[edit] “We can't multiply, we're adders" Some jokes use a mathematical term with a second non-technical meaning as the punchline of a joke.

Q. A. Occasionally multiple mathematical puns appear in the same jest: log(book) + C Person 2: A log cabin. Jokes with numeral bases[edit] I Will Knot! Shoelace Site. Mathematics tells us that there are more than 2 Trillion ways of feeding a lace through the six pairs of eyelets on an average shoe. This section presents a fairly extensive selection of 50 shoe lacing tutorials. They include traditional and alternative lacing methods that are either widely used, have a particular feature or benefit, or that I just like the look of. 50 Different Ways To Lace Shoes Criss Cross Lacing This is probably the most common method of lacing normal shoes & boots. The laces simply criss-cross as they work their way up the shoe. Over Under Lacing This method reduces friction, making the lacing easier to tighten and loosen plus reducing wear and tear. Gap Lacing This simple variation of Criss Cross Lacing skips a crossover to create a gap in the middle of the lacing, either to bypass a sensitive area on the instep or to increase ankle flexibility.

Straight European Lacing This traditional method of Straight Lacing appears to be more common in Europe. Straight Bar Lacing. O'Reilly Maker. Using Time Capsule as a Media Drive. As someone with a large media collection (around 550GB), I’m always looking for inventive new ways to store, backup and stream all my content. One of my main annoyances with simply storing media on an external drive is that you obviously need to have the device physically plugged in. My Lacie Drive worked well, but was bulky, heavy and impractical for watching media anywhere other than at my desk.

When Time Capsule was released, my first thought was that it could make a great way to store content on a network disk and stream music/video to iTunes, and photos to Aperture. This would allow me to access all my media from anywhere around the house — freeing me from the confines of a desk. This guide will take you through that very process and explain what works well and what simply won’t. A note on performance The first thing to consider is how performance will be impacted. Will you be wired or wireless? Setting up iTunes If you’ve decided to go ahead, the first thing to set up is iTunes.

How to: Wall mounting a LCD or Plasma : Home Theater Blog | Home Theater News & Reviews. May 29, 2006 Over the weekend I helped a friend wall mount a Panasonic LCD and thought to myself, hey why not take a few pictures and post an illustrated how-to guide on this. I think it turned out quite nicely here are some before and after shots. Before you tackle wall mounting a LCD or plasma, you need to ask yourself one question. Is this something best left to a professional installer? If you’re not sure then the answer is yes. I’m not implying that self installation is for everyone. If you doubt your abilities then by all means it’s worth hiring a professional.

So here is my step-by-step guide that illustrates how I install flat-panel displays. Picking the right location: Choosing the right place (read wall) to wall mount your LCD or Plasma in my opinion is directly proportional to the difficulty you’ll experience. Note: choosing an interior wall doesn’t 100% rule out any obstruction in the wall but I have a recommendation for checking this as well, more on that later.
