You can also call me Tom.
I am a male, obviously.
You are at liberty to take a guess at my age. But don't be generous.
I was once a teacher,but I became tiredand so I retired.

Mathematics Corner

You may also like to solve the following Mathematical problems and email to me your answers:

  1. How many times in a day are the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock exactly on top of each other and at what time? Give your answers to the nearest seconds.

  2. Factorize the sum of the squares of x and y.

  3. Given two unequal circles, show how to construct another circle inside the bigger one so that the area between them is equal to that of the smaller circle. You are allowed to use only a straight-edge (ungraduated ruler) and a compass.

  4. How to square a number whose every digit is 9 without having to multiply it by itself?

  5. Which fraction is equal to the recurring decimal 0.123456789123456789123456789...

  6. Which fraction is equal to the recurring decimal 0.987654321987654321987654321...

  7. Why is it that any number formed by the permutation of the digits 2, 3, 7 and 8 cannot be a perfect square?

  8. Draw lines parallel to one side of a triangle to produce n stripes, so that the ratios of their areas are the ratios of the first n odd integers, i.e. 1:3:5:7...:(2n-1). The first 'stripe' is of course a triangle.

  9. Why is it that no combination of translation and rotation can be equivalent to a reflection (except point reflection) but a combination of reflections may be a translation or a rotation?

  10. Construct, without any calculation, an equilateral triangle (or a semicircle) whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of two given equilateral triangles (or semicircles).

  11. Prove that the last two digits of the product of two integers whose last digits are 5's is either 25 or 75.

  12. Two straight lines EAC and DAB intersect at A. BC is parallel to DE and is equal to k x DE. Prove that the area of quadrilateral BCDE is the square of (k + 1) x the area of triangle ABC.

  13. Prove the following: Add the last digit of any positive integer to four times the sum of the other digits. Repeat these steps until a single digit number is obtained. The original integer and this integer have the same remainder when divided by 6.

  14. Where in the Bible can one find an approximate value for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter?

  15. Do you know the two important questions posed by Jesus on values?

  16. ?? ?螤冉 ?菭?? ? ?牵? 冉 ?菭冉 ?牵? ?? ?螤?? ?危? 却 ?? ?螤冉 ?牵? 圆 冉 ?菭?? ?危?
