Random Comments

Just trying to be random . . .
I know.
For a guy to have a random comment, we actually have to think about it.
Which disqualifies it as random. :(
 
I have considered and typed several "random" comments here, then deleted them before posting, thinking they were not worth posting. Yes, I'm putting too much thought into it. Next post is whatever comes to my head right now!
 
One smart fellow, he felt smart.
Two smart fellows, they felt smart.
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart,
and they all felt smart together.

That sounds like too many feely fellows if'n ya ask me. Lol
 
Here is a riddle I learned long ago.

I am the center of gravity, hold a capital situation in Vienna, and as I am foremost in every victory I am allowed by all to be invaluable. Always out of tune yet ever in voice, invisible though clearly seen in the midst of a river. I have three associates in vice and could name three who are in love with me, still it is in vain you seek me for I have long been in heaven and even now lie embalmed in the grave. What am I?
 
2+2=4
4+4=8
8+8=16
16+16=32
32+32=64
64+64=128
128+128=256
256+256=512
512+512=1,024
1,024+1,024=2,048
2,048+2,048=4,096
4,096+4,096=8,192
8,192+8,192=16,384
16,384+16,384=32,768
32,768+32,768=65,536
65,536+65,536=131,072
131,072+131,072=262,144
262,144+262,144=524,288
524,288+524,288=1,048,576
1,048,576+1,048,576=2,097,152
2,097,152+2,097,152=4,194,304
4,194,304+4,194,304=8,388,608
8,388,608+8,388,608=16,777,216
16,777,216+16,777,216=33,554,432

Numbers torment me.....

If a number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, it is divisible by 2
If all the digits of a number add up to a number divisible by 3, then the number itself is divisible by 3.
If a number ends in 0 or 5, then the number is divisible by 5.
If the 2 digit pairs of numbers add up to a number that is divisible by 11, the number is divisible by 11.
If the 3 digit pairs of numbers add up to a number that is divisible by 37, the number is divisible by 37.
If the 4 digit pairs of numbers add up to a number that is divisible by 101, the number is divisible by 101.
If the 5 digit pairs of numbers add up to a number that is divisible by 73 or 137, then the number is divisible by 73 or 137.
If the 6 digit pairs of numbers add up to a number that is divisible by 7 or 13, then the number is divisible by 7 or 13.

By taking 2 digit pairs, you can determine whether a large number is divisble by prime numbers by understanding a simple principle:

13*23 = 299 --> Therefore, if ab + (3*cd) is divisible by 13 or 23, then abcd is divisible by 13 or 23.
19*21=399 --> Therefore, if ab + (4*cd) is divisible by 7 (7 is a prime factor of 21) or 19, then abcd is divisible by 7 or 19

Example 10 + (4 * 1) = 14, which is divisible by 7. Therefore, 10 and 01 combine to form 1,001, which is likewise divisible by 7.
Likewise 10 + (3 * 1) = 13, which is divisible by 13. Therefore 10 and 01 combine to form 1,001, which is also divisible by 13.

17*47 = 799 --> Therefore if ab + (8*cd) is divisible by 17 or 47, then abcd is divisble by 17 or 47.
29*31 = 899 --> Therefore if ab + (9*cd) is divisible by 29 or 31, then abcd is divisible by 29 or 31.
27*37 = 999 --- Other numbers that are divisible by 37 are
111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888
37, 370, 703,
74, 740, 407,
148, 481, 814,
185, 851, 518,
259, 592, 925,
296, 962, 629

If you add the 3 digits that are in the thousands place, to the 3 digits in the hundred, tens and ones place, and they add up to one of those numbers divisible by 37, then your number is divisible by 37. In other words, if abc + def is divisible by 37, then abcdef, is divisible by 37.

39*41 = 1,599 so use ab + (16*cd) to determine if the number is divisible by 41
43*93 = 3,999 so either use ab+(40*cd) or use abc + (4 *def) to determine if the number is divisible by 43.
53*83 = 4,399 so you multiplication factor is 44 for those primes.
59*61 =3,599 ergo use 36.
67*97= 6,499 ergo use 65.
69*71 = 4,899 so use 49 for 71.
73*63 = 4,599 so use 46 for 73.
79*81 = 6,399 so use 64 for 79.
89*91 = 8,099 so use 81 for 89.
103*33 = 3,399 so use 34 for 103.
107*57 = 1,099 so use 11 for 107.
109*11 = 1,199, so use 12 for 109.

I'll just stop there.

The letter V.
 
If A squared plus B squared equals C squared, and 3 squared plus 4 squared equals 5 squared,
What is X squared plus Y squared?

What do you get when you cross a lion and a tiger?

About grafting. Paul said the gentiles (wild olives) were grafted contrary to nature. Roman's 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

This is not because it is difficult. It is because it is backward of what is usually done. It is far more common to take a seedling or rootstock from a wild or unknown cultivar and graft a known and proven variety to it.

They were all olives....but those wild descendants of the ten tribes had been let go for a time.
 
After 3+ months of having "cold" tap water over 97 degrees it is now down to 91. We are making some progress but my new mind/spirit would have never allowed me to move here like the old one did.
Our tap/well water is cold enough in the winter we fill quart jars and drink it after it warms.

I think you'd get on well with one of my sons. Most kids decide one day they might count to 100, for a challenge, and get bored after that.
This boy decided to count, and kept going whenever he remembered up to over 30,000, I have no idea where he actually ended up.

We enjoy maths also. Every evening, I get all seven children to pray, but call their names in a random order so they never quite know when their turn will be until it's their turn - I think it helps to ensure they're actually listening and haven't drifted off to sleep. Once while eating tea (evening meal) we all worked out in our heads how many possible different orders there were that I could get the children to pray in. The answer is 5040. Which meant that, if I managed to pick a different order each night, it would take almost 14 years before I repeated the same order again - and by that point several of them will have left home.
 
On a doctor named Isaac Letsome:

When people's ill, they comes to I
I physics, bleeds, and sweats 'em.
Sometimes they live, sometimes they die.
What's that to I?
I. Letsome

Yes! 7 Factorial or 7! = 5040.
