I asked this question yesterday, but I want to see if I get any more responses tonight. I really would appreciate it if anyone could give some good solid answers.

Can someone please explain how you believe life was first created? There is the "primordial soup" theory where chemical reactions created the amino acids. How did these molecules evolve into life? What came first RNA or DNA? How did these compounds survive denaturation in a much hotter climate compared to now?

Here's a nice little problem distantly related to some work I did way back when for my honours thesis.

In ring theory, an idempotent element is one which is its own square. In a ring with unity, 0 and 1 are always idempotents, but there may or may not be other idempotent elements.

Now the product of idempotents is not necessarily an idempotent. In my honours thesis I was concerned with characterising the elements that could be expressed as the product of idempotents. Here's a little problem relating this to the simple ring Z_n (n any integer ≥ 2).

a) Prove that in Z_n, the product of two idempotents is also an idempotent.

b) If n = p^r where p is prime, show that the only idempotents of Z_n are 0 and 1.

c) If n = pq where p and q are distinct primes, show that Z_n has exactly four idempotents and characterise them.

d) For arbitrary n ≥ 2, characterise the number of idempotents in Z_n in terms of the prime power factorisation of n.

Okay...just by reading the question, you probably think I'm an annoying person, but trust me...I'm nice and NOT annoying.

This girl, though, I think, is jealous of me. I am a transfer student and, surprisingly, I dress like her (same fashion/style). Last year, when she was a freshman, people would always comment her outfits and how she looks cute. Now, since I'm here, people tend to comment me rather than her, and she sort of seems jealous. For instance, whenever she hears someone comment me, she just walks away swiftly. She's usually nice to me, but she's been ignoring me since two days ago.

What should I do? Act normal to her?... Or should I ignore her, as well?

This is my fiance's second wedding and my first. His sister and I are the same age. I don't like her. His mother is apparently mad that she is not in the wedding, but has said nothing to me about it. I don't want her in the wedding. My two sisters are my bridesmaids and they are both in good shape. I picked a dress that flatters them. My fiance's sister is... well... fat and would look horrible in the dress. I know that I will have to bear the brunt for her not being in the wedding -or- have to hear about how inconsiderate I am for making her wear such an unflattering dress. HELP!!! She is such a spoiled brat and gets whatever she wants. I'm ranting; I know... I just need some backup here.

They don't necessarily have to be the most popular. Preferably some of the faster tunes, but anything good will do.

It's just an online simulation game by the way. But I can never find the really good stocks.

Isn't that what makes it so frustrating to argue?

"God" is just a label, perhaps the most abstract of all labels. The true meaning of "God" is "one who exists."

So for all of you who didn't understand my last question, you could just as well replace God with "He who exists" so the sentence reads, "He who exists does not exist."

So I guess if you disagree, you'll first have to take it up with Webster and argue the true definition of definition.

The following sets of three numbers each form a word. Put the words together to find a question, and then submit the answer to that question:

(1,4,45) (2,7,5) (6,1,11) (24,3,47) (16,1,6) (13,9,5) (94,3,27) (258,2,41)?

What is the answer?

Hint: The first word is "What".
