The Trivia of Jennings

Well, I decided to jump on the band wagon, and start my own trivia thread. Of course, Dynamo, the original creator of this idea, is still the man.

My trivia is going to be more on the hard side. Some will be ones you can simply look up, others will be ones you'll have to think about. But hopefully no one will have an immediate answer to any of them.

I will never dispense more than two questions in a day, as I want to give everyone some time to read the next question. Harder questions will be worth more points. I'm not sure how high each round will go yet. I'll decide that later depending on how fast this moves

Okay, onto the first question:

Name The 4 Quantum Numbers In Chemistry

w00t w00t w00t! They are:
N: Principle Quanum Number
L: Sublevel Quantum Number
M: Magentic Guantum Number (Orientation)
S: Spin Quantum Number (Either 1/2 or -1/2)


Posted by Jennings on 12-11-2000 11:35 PM:

And that would be Correct!

Fantomeye: 1

Next question:
What, as soon as you say its name, ceases to exist?

Wow, I thought that one would be a little harder. But it is correct!

Fantomeye: 1
Alphakiller: 2

Two more questions tomorrow! (I may have to change that rule )

What? I thirst for knowledge fool! Questions para todos!

Aw hell Here's a much harder one:

Does 2=1?

X = Y
X^2 = XY
X^2 - Y^2 = XY - Y^2
(X+Y)(X-Y) = Y(X-Y)
(X+Y) = Y
Y+Y = Y (Substitute in from line 1, because X is the same as Y)
2Y = Y
2 = 1

Question: Find the error.

not if i get it first


Posted by Fantomeye on 12-12-2000 12:46 AM:

or me
Ya know what would be funny? If none of us did


Posted by Todd on 12-12-2000 12:47 AM:

pff. if i can't get it, i'll just ask one of the multitude of people around here with a math degree


Posted by Chucker on 12-12-2000 12:52 AM:

If X is equal to Y, then that logically means that the operation (X-Y) is 0. Therefore, the transition from this line

(X+Y)(X-Y) = Y(X-Y)

to this line

(X+Y) = Y

can't happen because you're dividing by zero if you do! MWA HA HA! NEXT!

Going by that, then you technically have

0=0

so the proof is actually over

Holy crap. I am definately amazed, and thankfully Chucker has saved us all from believing that 2 equals 1. Congratulations!

Fantomeye: 1

Seeing as how my brain is fried, and I can't think of any others, I am going to stop for now

Excellent job!

Exactly. Because an illegal operation was done, dividing by zero, the entire proof from that point on falls apart.
