Right Omnifinite See the trick to the question is when you assume each man paid 10.00 and got back one. That would mean 9x3 which is 27.00. If the bell hop only kept 2 there would be one dollar missing. You are all right but Red J was overlooking the question of 9x3 is 27. Which is the trick in the question because if you go with that line of logic there is a missing dollar as to if you subtract you can account for them. Just one of Math's little qurks. Thats why Im a history guy.

8x3 is 24.99 your right So they each paid 8 not 10. When the bell hop gives them each back a dollar that makes 9.33 9.33 x 3 is 27.99 Then the bell hop kept the other 2. When you look at it as a pure subtract problem it all fits. The trick comes in when you say they paid 10 (which they never did) Thus when they got a dollar back they only paid 9. Then you follow the line of logic that 9 x 3 is 27. Then if the bell hop only kept 2 where is the missing dollar. What your saying is right but the trick is making them x what they paid by 3.

No your wrong as well The answer is when they bill was only 25.00 the men never paid 10.00 each. They only paid 8.33 each. Thus 8.33 x 3 is 27.99999999999. So the bell hop kept 2 and that makes 28. I worked and worked on that thing. The logic changes thus the math don't add up.

Keep going I'll fill you all in later.

Ok 3 guys go into a hotel. They buy a room that costs 30.00 dollars. The three men go up to the room and set down. A few minutes later the clerk realizes he overcharged the men. The room only should cost 25.00. So the clerk sends the bell hop to the room with 5 ones in change. The bell hop don't know how to split the money. So he gives each man a dollar and he keeps 2. So the question is what happend to the other dollar? Each man paid 10.00 = 30.00 The Bell Hop gives each man back 1.00 So each man actully only paid 9.00 9 x 3 = 27.00 The Bell Hop kept 2 27 + 2 is only 29.00 So where did the other dollar go? A friend of mine asked me this the other day and its been killing me.

Martial Sport IMO are TKD, JUDO, Sumo, kickboxing and boxing - meaning they are rules set up to judge each. Martial Arts IMO are karate, TSD, Hipakido, Kung Fu - mean you can use them in sport or SD. Combat Arts IM are THAI, Ju Jitsu, etc. - meaning you take this to learn how to fight and nothing else.

IF its open use it...

I agree Sai this is the part about selling out I was talking about in the other section. My thinking was always when time got hardest I saw the belt I was weraring. If I was a low belt I wanted to show everyone else I could do it. If I was a high belt I felt I had to show the others it could be done.

I get kids all the time at school. (8th grade boys) who want to fight, well play arround. They will walk up to my put their hands up and say come on Mr. Justice you are not so bad with that karate stuff. Im like just set down I have class at 6pm. I know they do that to a lot of male teachers its just the age but I think because most of them kow I teach karate they pick on me more. LOL....

Im 25 glad to be n the club. LOL

Wll thats a given that a person who was way oeverweight and out of shape could not do well agaisnt anyone. But when we are talking about a 240lbs fighter vs a 180lbs fighter chances are the bigger guys will do better if everything else is the same.

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome

Well I will argue that bigger people can take more punishment. But I do understand what you are saying Freestyler....

I'll get mine if I can ever find the time to set down and write it. LOL. I got a lot of things floating arround in my head just have not made the time for it yet. LOL. I will get it Patrick don't worry. LOL Congrats again KK75...

Nice job KK75.

Well part of becomming a true Martial Artist is seeing the game through. With that said I don't think it ever ends. Most of us are Martial Artist for life. When you make that decision then the confidence thing steps in. If you only plan on taking a class for a few months or to reach a certin belt then you never buy into what MA is selling. A key to winning at anything is thinking you can win. That why so many of us get upset when people bash our style. Because part of our training calls for us to sell out and believe in this or that techinque. Thats not simple for some people to do. For those who only make it to a certin color belt they never sold out to MA. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about my training is some fashion. Those who stop their training never think of it again unless someone brings it up. Simply put Martial Arts is a way of life. If you can sell out and make it a part of your life then reguarless what belt you have you will gain confience. IF MA never crosses your mind outside the dojo then you will always question yourself and your art. If you can go through the 3 or 4 years (IT SHOUD TAKE YOU) to get a black belt then you gain a lot of confidence. But if things are given to you and you don't have to sweat, and bleed for them then you gain a false confiedence that will leave you when you need it the most.

Size can be beat with techinque, speed, power, heart, etc. However what if size has those weapons as well? Size is the only factor in a fight we can not control ourselves. Sure we can lift weights and eat right but we are only going to grow so tall. So unless we are talking about being a JOCKEY I would say size does matter.

Its nice to be big lol

Yes There was a great disturbance in the force a few days ago.

Call Class off.

My clock on my cpu keeps messing up so I find myself going to bed at 2 only to find its 5. Well not that big of a differance. LOL
