NO. OF QUARTERS NEEDED TO MATCH EMPIRE STATE BLDG ??

ARE YOU SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ??

HOW MANY QUARTERS ARE NEEDED TO BE STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER TO MATCH THE HEIGHT OR ALTITUDE OF THE EMPIRE STATE BLDG. IN USA ??
HOW MUCH VALUE IN $$ DOES IT CONVERT TO ?



ANSWER : (JUST IN CASE !!)
You will need to stack 217714 quarters to match the height of empire state building

The exact amount of sum in currency becomes: $ 54,428.5
(US Dollars FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT AND Cents FIFTY)

Empire State Building :

Height: 381 m or 1,250 feet.

Quarter :

Weight 5.67 grams

Diameter 0.955 inches (24.26 mm),

Width 1.75 millimeters (0.069 in)

Calculations (Proof):
i) Now,

1 meter = 1000 mm
1 meter = 39.3700787 inches

381 m = 381 X 1000 = 381,000 mm

ii) Number of quarters needed = 381000 / 1.75 = 217714.285
This can not be done physically.

We assume 217714 quarters needed.

iii) Value in currency (with assumed no. of quarters) =217714 X 0.25 = $ 54428.5
Value in currency (without assumed no. of quarters) = 217714.285 X 0.25 = $54428.571

AMAZING EQUATIONS !!!

READ AND ANALYZE CAREFULLY...

Hope you enjoy...

Equation 1

Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore,

Human = Donkey + work + enjoy

Therefore,

Human - enjoy = Donkey + work

In other words,

Human that don't know enjoy = Donkey that work

Equation 2

Men = eat + sleep + earn money
Donkeys = eat + sleep

Therefore,
Men = Donkeys + earn money

Therefore,
Men - earn money = Donkeys

In other words,
Men that don't earn money = Donkeys

Equation 3

Women = eat + sleep + spend
Donkeys = eat + sleep

Therefore,
Women = Donkeys + spend

Therefore,
Women - spend = Donkeys

In other words,
Women that don't spend = Donkeys

To Conclude:

From Equation 2 and Equation 3
Men that don't earn money = Women that don't spend.

So, Men earn money not to let women become Donkeys! (Postulate 1)

And, Women spend not to let men become Donkeys! (Postulate 2)

So, we have?
Men + Women = Donkeys + earn money + Donkeys + spend money

Therefore from Postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude
Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!

COMMON QUESTIONS UNCOMMON ANSWERS !!!

*Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs? **
**ANSWER:* Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a
dense orange clay called 'pygg.' When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.' When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a bank that resembled a pig and it caught on.

*Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches, while pennies and nickels do not? **
**ANSWER:* The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins
containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren't notched because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave.

*Q: Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's clothes have buttons on the left? **
**ANSWER:* When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's right. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. And that's where women's buttons have remained since.

*Q: Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?**
**ANSWER:* In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.

*Q: In golf, where did the term 'caddie' come from?**
**ANSWER:* When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education &survival), Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot game 'golf.' So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie.'

HOW DO WE SEE THINGS ?

How do we see things upright if the image formed on the retina in our eye is an inverted one?

ANSWER :

It is true that the images formed on your retina are upside-down. It is also true that most people have two eyes, and therefore two retinas. Why, then, don't you see two distinct images? For the same reason that you don't see everything upside-down. One of our most remarkable tools - the brain - is hard at work for us at this task.

Processing visual information is a complex task - it takes up a relatively large portion of the brain compared to other senses. This is because your brain performs several tasks to make images 'easier' to see. One, of course, is combining the two images, which is helped by the corpus callosum, the tiny part of your brain which joins the two big hemispheres. The other part is handled in the optic part of your brain itself, and part of its job is to make images right-side-up. It does this because your brain is so USED to seeing things upside-down that it eventually adjusts to it. After all, it's a lot easier to flip the image over than it is to try and coordinate your hands and legs with an upside-down world! As a result, though, it is believed that for the first few days, babies see everything upside-down. This is because they have not become used to vision.

Your brain CAN be retrained though. In one psychological study, participants were asked to wear inverting lenses - lenses that invert the image BEFORE they get to your eye, so that when your eye inverts it, it's right-side-up. At first, everything appeared upside-down to the participants. But, after a few days, people began to report that everything appeared right-side-up! As a second part of the study, the people were asked to take the glasses off. Because they were now used to the lenses, their NORMAL vision appeared upside-down!! Within a day, though, their vision returned to normal. The reason you don't see everything upside-down, then, is simply because it's easier to think about right-side-up!

Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.
Children see nine dolphins.
This is a test to determine if you already have a corrupted mind.  If it is hard for you to find the dolphins within six seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted

If something‘s rotating – go home, you need a break! *g*
