1. Solve this cryptic equation, realizing of course that values for M

and E could be interchanged. No leading zeros are allowed.
WWWDOT - GOOGLE = DOTCOM
This can be solved through systematic application of logic. For

example, cannot be equal to 0, since . That would make , but , which
is not possible.
Here is a slow brute-force method of solution that takes a few minutes

on a relatively fast machine:
This gives the two solutions
777589 - 188106 == 589483

777589 - 188103 == 589486
Here is another solution using Mathematica’s Reduce command:
A faster (but slightly more obscure) piece of code is the following:
Faster still using the same approach (and requiring ~300 MB of memory):
Even faster using the same approach (that does not exclude leading
zeros in the solution, but that can easily be weeded out at the end):
Here is an independent solution method that uses branch-and-prune

techniques:
And the winner for overall fastest:

and one 1 (1211); one 1, one 2, and two 1’s (111221); and so on. See
the look and say sequence entry on MathWorld for a complete write-up

also discussed in The Mathematica GuideBook for Symbolics, the
forthcoming fourth volume in Michael Trott’s GuideBook series, the

12. In your opinion, what is the most beautiful math equation ever
derived?
There are obviously many candidates. The following list gives ten of
the authors’ favorites:
1. Archimedes’ recurrence formula : , , ,

2. Euler formula :
3. Euler-Mascheroni constant :
4. Riemann hypothesis: and implies
5. Gaussian integral :
6. Ramanujan’s prime product formula:
7. Zeta-regularized product :
8. Mandelbrot set recursion:
9. BBP formula :
10. Cauchy integral formula:
An excellent paper discussing the most beautiful equations in physics

is Daniel Z. Freedman’s " Some beautiful equations of mathematical
physics ." Note that the physics view on beauty in equations is less
uniform than the mathematical one. To quote the
not-necessarily-standard view of theoretical physicist P.A.M. Dirac,
"It is more important to have beauty in one’s equations than to have
them fit experiment."

16. Given a triangle ABC, how would you use only a compass and
straight edge to find a point P such that triangles ABP, ACP and BCP
have equal perimeters? (Assume that ABC is constructed so that a
solution does exist.)
This is the isoperimetric point , which is at the center of the larger

Soddy circle. It is related to Apollonius’ problem . The three tangent
circles are easy to construct: The circle around has diameter , which
gives the other two circles. A summary of compass and straightedge
constructions for the outer Soddy circle can be found in " Apollonius’
Problem: A Study of Solutions and Their Connections" by David Gisch
and Jason M. Ribando.
17. Consider a function which, for a given whole number n, returns the
number of ones required when writing out all numbers between 0 and n.
For example, f(13)=6. Notice that f(1)=1. What is the next largest
n such that f(n)=n?
The following Mathematica code computes the difference between [the

cumulative number of 1s in the positive integers up to n] and [the
value of n itself] as n ranges from 1 to 500,000:
The solution to the problem is then the first position greater than
the first at which data equals 0:
which are the first few terms of sequence A014778 in the On-Line
Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
Checking by hand confirms that the numbers from 1 to 199981 contain a

total of 199981 1s:
18. What is the coolest hack you’ve ever written?
While there is no "correct" answer, a nice hack for solving the first
problem in the SIAM hundred-dollar, hundred-digit challenge can be
achieved by converting the limit into the strongly divergent series:
and then using Mathematica’s numerical function SequenceLimit to

trivially get the correct answer (to six digits),
You must tweak parameters a bit or write your own sequence limit to
get all 10 digits.
[Other hacks are left to the reader.]
19. ’Tis known in refined company, that choosing K things out of N can
be done in ways as many as choosing N minus K from N: I pick K, you
the remaining.
This simply states the binomial coefficient identity .
Find though a cooler bijection, where you show a knack uncanny, of

making your choices contain all K of mine. Oh, for pedantry: let K be
no more than half N.
’Tis more problematic to disentangle semantic meaning precise from the

this paragraph of verbiage peculiar.
20. What number comes next in the sequence: 10, 9, 60, 90, 70, 66, ?
A) 96

0000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000

Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, which gives the largest positive
integer whose English name has n letters. For example, the first few
terms are ten, nine, sixty, ninety, seventy, sixty-six, ninety-six,
?. A more correct sequence might be ten, nine, sixty, googol,
seventy, sixty-six, ninety-six, googolplex. And also note,
incidentally, that the correct spelling of the mathematical term "
googol" differs from the name of the company that made up this
aptitude test.
The first few can be computed using the NumberName function in Eric
Weisstein’s MathWorld packages:
A mathematical solution could also be found by fitting a Lagrange

interpolating polynomial to the six known terms and extrapolating:

Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents

Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min.

A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min.

Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min

Sol Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil

The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼

The fuel consumed while coming = X

Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½

ð 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2. approx

Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2 gallon
