Here is a good one and it has nothing to do with ability to do arithmetic. Try to work it through in your head. If you enjoy the challenge, you might be into maths Good one, I got at best about 1/10th the way to the solution and my brain is still bleeding even after reading this explanation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_prisoners_problem |

Our institution's biggest claim to fame was Rutherford. Moseley also featured, but not so well known.

I couldn't stand matrices esp those highly contrived matrix AxB is not the same as BxA multiplication rules. Non-commutative, as they say. As a fact, but why would anyone consider them contrived? The elements represent different things and need to be individually multiplied in a specific order, depending on what you're doing and how the matrices are ordered. A matrix isn't a number.
