oh u!

I went to the park
It was nice

Answer is none of the above.
That's not fair.

isnt the answer 6?

>>3786989
no

I think answer is 3.5, so D would be closest to correct.

What are you talking about?

>half a dozen chickens.
Whole ones or half ones?

It's 21
How can you guys fail at math?

>>3787000
3.5?

I think you forgot to multiply by twelve.

>>3787005
How can you?

Programming class before lunch, academic writing class after.

that question is fucking confusing

Half a chicken lays half an egg every half day.
One Chicken lays an egg every half day.
Half a dozen = 6.
Six chickens lay six eggs every half day.
Half a week = 3.5 days.
3.5 days = 7 half days.
Six chickens lay 42 eggs every seven half days.
∴Half a dozen chickens lay 42 eggs in half a week.

I got 21 too.
Six chicken lay six eggs a day, and half a week is 3.5 days, so the answer should be 21.

As for what I did today, well, I woke up and just had lunch.

Just finished my ab exercises, about to go fap.

They told me there will be no math

>>3787028
Oh damn, you're right. Disregard >>3787039, I suck cocks.

>>3787039
No, six chickens lay six eggs every half day.
Multiply by two.

week is 14 half days
half a week is 7 half days
1 half chicken will lay 7 half eggs in that time.
6 half chickens would lay 42 egg halves, and so 21 full eggs.
If it's 6 full chickens, it would be 42 eggs.

>>3787002
Pretty much this
I have no class today

>>3787039
A chicken would lay one egg every half day.
That's 12 eggs to come from your 6 chickens.

You might want to multiply your 21 by 2.

I got up, did homework, got to class, and got home.
Now for some more homework. Fuck.

:D

>>3786975
How the fuck does half a chicken lay eggs?
How do you lay Half an egg?
This makes no sense, are they zombie chickens, do they lay zombie chicken eggs, how does this fucking work?

Did you ever go to school?

If it takes one man one day to dig one hole; how many days would it take 2 men to dig half a hole?

>>3786973
please stop spamming Ａｎｏｎ Ｔａｌｋ .com thanks

>>3787075
1/4 of a day?

>>3787075
1/4 ?

>>3787075
But...you can't dig half a hole!

Any hole is a hole! What the fuck?!

Half a chicken lays half an egg in half a day
A whole chicken lays a whole egg in a whole day
12 chickens lay 12 eggs in 1 day
12 chickens lay 84 eggs in 7 days
12 chickens lay 42 eggs in 3.5 days.

The answer is 42. Seriously guys.

>>3787075
You'd have to define half a hole, as well as specify whether there are startup times and cooldown times involved in setting up/putting away tools and so on. Not to mention inefficiencies with regards to two people digging one hole at the same time.

How many marks is the question worth?

>>3787124
Maybe they're using telekinesis and teleportation together in order to dig from the bottom up.

>>3787127
There's the catch.
1/2 a chicken lays 1/2 in 1/2 of a day means
1 chicken lays 1 egg in 1/2 of a day.
So, 1 chicken lays 2 eggs in 1 day.

>>3787136
That's still a hole, even if you can't see it.
It's a gap in the ground.

I just read the question as "How many eggs will a dozen chickens lay in a week" then divide by 2.

>>3787144
Fuck you're right.

Either way the answer isn't on there.

Is Yukari able to dig half holes?

>>3787151
But would it be defined as a hole or simply considered a gap?

>>3787155
NO. YOU CANNOT DIG A HALF HOLE.

SOMETHING IS EITHER A HOLE, OR NOT A HOLE.

>>3787127
If you take the problem at face value it doesn't say how many eggs a whole chicken can lay in any amount of time, just how many a half-chicken can lay. Two half-chickens are not necessarily the same as one chicken; it is the same deal for two half-eggs.

>>3787075
There's more than just math involved in this one. Let's say a hole is x meters deep and the two men want to dig a hole x/2 meters deep. However, one person digging a single hole is a single thing to think about. For more than one person working on the same hole (this is starting to sound dirty, eh?) you have to assume there's some deal of fumbling and working around each other which affects their speed of work.

>>3787170
Not necessarily.
For example, you're already assuming they're working on a single half hole.
They could both be digging a quarter hole, the addition of which amounts to a half hole.

>>3787124
Got it right.

Can we say for sure both parties would be provided with adequate equipment? What if it was two men but only one shovel?

>>3787184
What if both men lost one arm in Vietnam ?

>>3787189
Then they can dig with their hand.

If HALF a chicken lays half an egg each half day, a whole chicken lays one whole egg each whole day.
Half a dozen chickens, we have to assume it means WHOLE chickens, since it explicitly stated HALF chickens in the first part.
Thus, six WHOLE chickens.
Half a week is obviously either 2.5 days (working day-week) or 3.5 days (actual week)

If 2.5, the answer is either 15, 6+6+3, or simply 12, 6+6, since half eggs =\= whole eggs.

If 3.5, the answer is either 21, 6+6+6+3, or simply 18, 6+6+6, since half eggs =\= whole eggs.

We could of course imagine they simply forgot to mention the HALF part of chickens in the question part, in which case it would be:

Half a week, 2.5 days or 3.5 days.

If 2.5 days, the answer is either 7.5 eggs, 3+3+1.5, or 6 eggs, 3+3, since "LOL NO HALF HALF EGGS", OR 0 eggs, since fuck you, you can't have half eggs in the first place!

If 3.5 days, the answer is either 10.5 eggs, 3+3+3+1.5, or 9 eggs, 3+3, since "LOL NO HALF HALF EGGS", OR 0 eggs, since fuck you, you can't have half eggs in the first place!


Since 12 is the only answer we are given on the paper, we have to assume this was the result of a trolling teacher, and they meant WHOLE eggs, and a working day-week.

Or... it could be even more of a clever troll, not giving any right answers, making NO answers correct, thus you lose by default.


These are the only possibilities if you actually know maths.

Half a week is obviously either 2.5 days (working day-week) or 3.5 days (actual week)

If 2.5, the answer is either 30, 12+12+6, or simply 24, 12+12, since half eggs =\= whole eggs.

If 3.5, the answer is either 42, 12+12+12+6, or simply 36, 12+12+12, since half eggs =\= whole eggs.

Since we are not given ANY of these alternatives, we have to assume the person making this test is a clever troll, not giving any right answers, making NO answers correct, thus you lose by default.

Edited cause I failed miserably at first post by not noticing a critical part...
Fuck you, short attention span.


There we go.
Any objections?
Feel free to pick on the spelling if you like, as well, I want my spelling to get better anyway.

>>3787530
First line should be
If HALF a chicken lays HALF an egg each HALF day, a whole chicken lays two WHOLE eggs each WHOLE day.

I believe that is all.

Updating with sage, cause /jp/ is tired of me now.

We have to assume the teacher is a god-troll (or just plainly stupid), failing to notice it was half-chickens and half-work day-weeks, AND that you can't have halves of halves of eggs.
GODDAMN IT!

Again edited, cause I forgot the "no halves of halves" that actually makes it work ._.

half chicken, half egg, half day
whole chicken, whole egg, whole day

6 whole chicken, 3.5 days.

21?

>>3787530
>working week
>chickens
I don't think you thought your argument through.

>>3786975
The answer is zero because chickens die if you cut them in half, d'uh, you're all stupid.

I died today.

Flew in the flight sim today practicing emergency checklists and what not.

>>3788040
Fascinating.

Ok everyone, thereis a VERY important detail covered over by the thought bubble. It says "weekend" not "week". When you then figure that in, the answer is "a." or 12 eggs.

>>3788026
Can't argue with that.

42. Half dozen chickens makes 12 half chickens. 12 half chickens in 7 half days produce 84 half eggs. 84 half eggs is 42 whole eggs.

If a half chicken lays a half egg each half day, then a whole chicken lays a whole egg is HALF day.

You can't multiply your unit of time along with your mechanism and product.

That is, if your mechanism (chicken) doubles, then the product (egg) doubles, but the time does not.

Consider:
2 printers can make 10 pictures in 1 hour, than 4 printers make 20 pictures in ONE HOUR. not two.

man I fucking want whatever machine you guys have to make half eggs whole again.

I just realized it generalizes to mechanism x time = product.

so chickens x days = eggs.

.5c x .5d = .5e
becomes
1c x .5d = 1e
or 1c x 1d = 2e
but distinctly not
1c x 1d = 1e

>>3788026
The answer is zero because there are no chickens in Gensokyo.

CHICKENS DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED.

Half chickens would die before laying any half eggs(which would be pretty useless, by the way)
.

>>3786975
Zero, half a chicken is a dead chicken and dead chickens do not lay eggs.

Built a robot. It's shit.

Half a chicken cannot lay eggs. It's DEAD. Half an egg cannot be laid (duh).

The wright answer is D.
