The Chase ... a poem i wrote

a chirp, a twitter,
a loud crack,
and a sudden flutter of wings,the winged creatures alight from their abodes;
the distant warning calls of the tribes resounding in the air
Fear sets from one to another, the herds out on the move;

and above the din of the jungle, creeps the striped predator,
slithering ,slinking closer through the tall blades of grass;
helpless prey , looking around with shifting eyes
like those of a scared rat, alert and ready, yet helpless;

a faint sight of the tiger ,the deer set on a gallop,
faster and faster, know one has to go today, fear in their minds,
wanting to live for yet another day;
the hunter spots the weakest of the herd, sets upon him,
the clock of death nears the prey, heart beating rapidly,
sprinting and dodging the nearing predator, a long tiring chase,
knows he can no more outrun him, but his predator persues, relentless;

the deer's legs give way and he falls,
and with a mighty leap, the king of the jungle swipes at the neck of the deer,
and knocks out its life force, its heart beating its final few, and slowly goes cold,
he tears at the meat, drags it to his den,
and feasts on the royal kill,
somewhere distant, the herds panting, one of their tribe snatched away,
know they are safe for now, but now never implies tomorrow...

Some elementary math fundas (fundamentals)

Here's a test of some very basic math knowledge....
READ the following.. ( and yes, please comment if you have doubts on any of this)

Let a = bThen a² = aband also a² - b² = ab - b² (subtracting the same quantity from both sides of the previous equation)or (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)Cancelling common factors on both sides we get:
(a + b) = b
But a = b
Thus we get b + b = b
or 2b = b
ie.
2 = 1

How did we get this result?Think... you ought to know this. Its an elementary level question.

FOR THE ANSWER PLEASE HIGHLIGHT THIS BLOG ENTRY ( click and drag left mouse button)



Ans) In one of the steps, we have divided the equation by (a - b). But as a = b thus a - b = 0.And we cannot divide an equation by zero. Division by zero is not defined.... THE most basic concept of arithemetic.

Spherical Tyres

A thought provoking idea - what if we use spherical tyres instead of the cylindrical tube tyres. Cars could then move easily in all directions. The groove pattern could be similar to the longitudes of the earth . The normal shaft present in today's cars would be accompanied by another rubber like band around the front two wheels and another one around the rear wheels to allow frontal and sideways movement of the tyres. Think about it ... and let me know...

Solar - Hydel - Wind Mill

Here's my latest invention well its kinda invention- and ive christened it a Solar - Hydel- Wind Mill as will become evident..---
everyone has seen a conventional Windmill - it has a no. of blades depending upon the speed of wind and its duration..
now my mill involves fixation of smaller blades at 45 degrees on the edge of each wind mill blade. each of these blades also has a solar panel .
now in this way when the wind is blowing the wind mill will function properly and when there is now ind only sun then solar panels will work and when there is rain the small blades on the edges of the big blades will cause them to move .. this will allow distribution of windmills in many places not just windy areas.

Another theorem

I created another theorem . If u wanna ask something leave a comment.


If x is a number with N digits where N>1 then the sum of ' the difference between x and its mirror reverse' and its mirror reverse will be a multiple of 9.

Ex.647
746 - 647 = 99 or 099
99 + 99 = 198
or 99 + 990 = 1089

Cool theorems i discovered

well u wont believe it but i discovered 3 mathematical theorems. well over a period of 2 yrs cos wid exams in between terms u can only study

1. if x, n are any natural no.s then sum of digits of (x+1) = sum of digits of ( x+ (10 to the power n ) )

2. if a, b and n are any 3 whole no.s and n >2 then there is NO such whole no. c such that
(a to the power n ) + (b to the power n ) = (c to the power n )

3. if a and b are 2 consecutive perfect squares and b>a thenb - a = root a + root b
if b and a have 1 perfect square between them then
b - a = 2(root a + root b)
and so on...
