If it doubles it size every day then it was half its own size the day before the 600th

Correct

[Mr Darn]

Math? Maths?that bit was part of the red herring, just like most of the rest of it!

heres one for you, And no calculators please! do it in your head!

What is half of 99½?

(thats 99½ divided by 2 for the ones looking for the trick!)

Be honest and say how long it took you too!

Never did get an answer tho!

Amazing how many people say 48¼ tho....

[Dave]

Its easy , half of 99 is 49 1/2 so add an extra 1/4 and there you have it 49 3/4 taaadaaa

[Cympil]

then why didn't you put them together to get Jackknife, potluck, poetaster and viewpoint. Cympil! :lol:

Poetaster? :lol: Never heard of that!

[Mr Darn]

Its easy , half of 99 is 49 1/2 so add an extra 1/4 and there you have it 49 3/4 taaadaaa

i do it a different way, but whichever is easier...

99½ + ½ =100

100 divided by 2= 50

½ divided by 2= ¼

50 - ¼ = 49¾

[Monsta®]

99½ + ½ =100

100 divided by 2= 50

½ divided by 2= ¼

50 - ¼ = 49¾

so what would a_n = \frac{\sqrt{a_{n-1}^2 + \frac{1}{a_{n-1}^2} + 6} - a_{n-1} - \frac{1}{a_{n-1}}}{2} equall then?

[Guest missvic]

so what would a_n = \frac{\sqrt{a_{n-1}^2 + \frac{1}{a_{n-1}^2} + 6} - a_{n-1} - \frac{1}{a_{n-1}}}{2} equall then?

a_n

=

\frac{\sqrt{a_{n-1}^2 + \frac{1}{a_{n-1}^2} + 6} - a_{n-1} - \frac{1}{a_{n-1}}}{2}

either a_n or \frac{\sqrt{a_{n-1}^2 + \frac{1}{a_{n-1}^2} + 6} - a_{n-1} - \frac{1}{a_{n-1}}}{2} ... doesn't the equation speak for itself?

I'm unsure whether we can work it out without the values of a or n anyway?

How did you get that so quickly? I`m sitting here with about ten bits of paper working it out and i`ve only got half of it done

simple just make a grid the answers just fall into place!

[Blank]

go on there carol! pleased some one could work it out cause its al french to me!

Just as easy as it was for you to type in "Hard Maths" into google, it's just as easy typing:

"a_n = \frac{\sqrt{a_{n-1}^2 + \frac{1}{a_{n-1}^2} + 6} - a_{n-1} - \frac{1}{a_{n-1}}}{2}"

into google and getting the answer. Try it.
