| Before the times of the great technological advancements of today, grouping together and forming relationships was an evolutionary requirement for survival. In today's society grouping together fuel's the greed of individuals and the only predator is another human. In order to defend oneself against... |

People have a tendency to try and connect or find out as much about another person and everyone connected with that person as they possibly can. Everything in t... |

| Due to the fact the second choice is dependent on the first choice having occurred the probability of the second choice being greater than the first choice can be shown: P(A then B) = P(A) * P(B) P(A then B) = 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 This means given that one has picked one of two envelopes with a probabil... |

| There does seem to be one way one can come to a profitable conclusion. If the total amount of cents in the first envelope is an odd number then there is no possible half amount that can occur in the second envelope; therefore the greatest amount of currency is in the second envelope. If the first en... |

| Based on what I’ve read from here I’d have to say what I do can also be considered “thinking in pictures”. Unfocused pictures and motion pictures combined with conceptual 'stickers'. When first learning something new and/or interesting my mind will take a mental photograph of all things around me an... |

Then why is it that the number which is used to calculate the diameter of a circle from a measurement of the circumference is irrational? Everyday my min... |

| I like to play with formulae and this is what I’ve come up with: m=E/C^2 m=F/a Fgravity = Gm1m2/r^2 Therefore: Fgravity = G(F/a)(E/C^2)/r^2 Fgravity = G(FE/aC^2)/(r^2) Since force and acceleration are inversely proportional to energy and the speed of light it can be said: Fgravity= G(E1E2)/(C^4)(r^2... |

The steps are as follows: • Find the total number of digits for your working digits which is: S(sum of all digits) -1 = WD(working digits) • Pick your multiplying number (preferably the one with the most digits) • Multiply left to ... |

Intelligence itself refers to an individual’s ability to learn, remember, and interpret information. This is something that anyone... |
