For trout:
1) Gut it.
2) Clean out blood along spine.
3) Cut down to the spine just behind the pectoral fins.
4) Slice along the spine down to the caudal fin and stop before cutting off filet.
5) Flip the filet still attached to the fish onto your cutting board (skin side down) and run your knife flat between the skin and filet.
6) Repeat on steps 3-5 for your other filet.

*If you want skin on, start by running your knife perpendicular across the scales to remove them. Repeat the steps 1-4 except complete the cut at the caudal fin to remove your filets.

Three friends are splitting the bill after a meal out at a restaurant. The
waiter says the bill is £30, so the guests split it evenly and pay £10 each.
As he’s walking away the waiter realises that he’s overcharged the group
and the bill should only be £25.
In order rectify this, he takes the £5 that is owed to the guests in order
to bring the bill down to £25. On the way back to the table, he realises
that he cannot divide £5 equally between three people.
As the customers are still unaware of the actual total of the revised bill,
the waiter decides to just give each of the three friends £1 each and then
keep the leftover £2 as a tip for himself.
Basically, each customer got £1 back: meaning they only paid £9 each;
bringing the total paid to £27. The waiter has the leftover £2.
The £27 the customers paid, + the £2 the waiter kept = £29 so, if the
diners originally handed over £30, what happened to the remaining £1?

fair enough. you get kudos for "creativity" I guess

problem is if you start deconstructing the houses into their constituent lines, then you force to point out (as did a previous poster) that there is in fact a faint grid in the background of the image, thus precluding any attempt to solve the problem. you have to approach the exercise in good faith, treating the houses as discrete units or the whe enterprise is null

Here's a simple one.

A medium fry carton holds 29-37 fries. You order 5 medium fries and one small fry. It takes you 0.58 hours to drive home and you eat a fry every 27 seconds. By the time you get home 7/8ths of the fries you paid for are gone. Given that a small fry is half the size of a medium, how many orders of small fries could be filled with your fries that the restaurant never put in the bag? Give your answer in a range.

I didnt even realise there was 2 whistles.13 minus 5 is 8. So if theres 4 whistles you do 8 divided by 4 which is 2 per whistle. So shoe plus cat is 15.

the correct answer is

No it isn't. It's a completely different symbol. You might also interpret as whistle to the power of whistle, but that would be equally wrong. The most accurate interpretation would be whistle multiplied by whistle, but again that's wrong because they're overlaid. It's one whole symbol. You can't just introduce new rules to algebra.

x' = Ax, where A is tbd.
Employing separation of variables and integrating , we get:
ln(x) = At + C, where C is our integration constant. Solving for x, we get:
x(t) = e^(At+C) = Be^At, where B is e^C. Now at t=0

x(0)=B, so B is our initial lilypads, so let B=1 for simplicity, and we have that:

x(t)=e^At. We know the population doubles each day, so therefore:
2x=e^A(t+1), and so e^A(t+1) = 2e^At. Doing some rearranging, we have that:
1/2 = e^At/(e^A(t+1) => 1/2 = e^-A => -ln(1/2) = A.
So x(t) = e^-ln(1/2)t.

Finally, solving for when the lake is half full, 1/2 = e^-ln(1/2)t/(e^-48ln(1/2)). Rearranging, we have:
1/2 = e^ln(1/2)(48-t) => ln(1/2)=ln(1/2)(48-t) =>1=48-t => t=47.
