Hm, I would say realistically it would be 20 men on one end vs the tree because the tree has no give. Even if the ten men on each side are of equal strength, they will lose footing, sway back and forth, etc.

I can also think of reasons it could go the other way, too, because of the amount of rope exposed to force. I doubt either of these are the answer you are looking for, though

Edit: I see we settled on "c". I guess we were assuming there were no variables such as give or the amount of rope used.

Which number is next in this series.

and why, unless your answer is non of the above.

I will try to alert you if there is odd variable. Generally assume there is non. Most are just based on the words (if I spell the correctly)

then you wrote the question wrong.

10 pulling one way versus 10 pulling the other way would break a rope much faster than TEN pulling against a tree

Without variables like said above, if they have equal stregth it would be the same.

freeadultcontent · 08-13-2003, 08:43 PM

I rechecked the question. Did not see error in it.

if 20 men pull on the rope (10 on each end), the stress on the rope will be no greater than if 10 pulled from one end and the other was tied to the tree. The tension on a rope is no greater than the pull at one of its ends.

Ok no answer for that question.

Correct answer was a. 14
Why: when spelled out, each number in the series is longer than the previous number by one letter.

Two of the fastest horsemen in the kingdom proposed to the king's daughter. The king did not like either suitor, but wanted to look fair so he suggested a horse race in which the winner would have his daughters hand. The only catch was that the winner would be the person whose horse came in second. The kind was certain the race would never take place because he felt that neither horseman would let the other win. Finally, the king's daughter made a suggestion to the two horsemen that would guarentee a fair race. What did she suggest?

It was a pretty old one (I'm 49 and I was probably at grammar school at the time) set in a cheese shop. Cleese wanted to buy some cheddar and they didn't have any. Cleese said 'it's the single most popular cheese in the land' and Eric Idol (I think) said 'not in this manor squire'

The cheese shop guys say "We haven't much call for it around here." That routine is one of my favorites, right up there with "Michalangelo and the Pope" (but you need to see the one with Eric Idle as Michaelangelo and John Cleese as the Pope).
