Learning from Mistakes

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained,

“All our work is in Vain. We have Learned Nothing.”

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, We have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

Moral: We can also Learn from Our Mistakes.

Answers:

01. Add the equation to give: 10000X + 10000Y = 50000
Divide by 10000 to give: X + Y = 5
Subtract to give: 3502X - 3502Y = 3502
Divide by 3502 to give: X - Y = 1
Therefore: X = 3 and Y = 2

02. It takes 3 hours for the friends to meet; so the pigeon flies for 3 hours at 18 MPH=54 miles.

03. If John weighs 147 pounds plus half of his body weight, the 147 pounds represents the other half. John weighs 294 pounds.

04. You can't shorten the process of egg-hatching by increasing the number of chickens. Therefore, 30 hens will also need 18 days to hatch their eggs.

05. Fill the 3 gallon pitcher and pour it into the 5 gallon pitcher. Now fill the 3 gallon pitcher again and fill the 5 gallon pitcher to capacity. What remains in the 3 gallon pitcher is one gallon of juice.
