4. Imagine you are at a car dealership that has 1000 vehicles, all locked.
Suppose a salesperson goes along and unlocks every car.
Another salesperson then goes along and locks every other vehicle beginning with vehicle number 2 (yes, the vehicles are all numbered).
A third salesperson changes the state of every third vehicle beginning with vehicle number 3. (If the vehicle is locked the salesperson unlocks it, and if the vehicle is unlocked the salesperson locks it.)
A fourth salesperson changes the state of every fourth vehicle beginning with number 4.
Imagine that this continues until 1000 salespersons have followed the pattern with the 1000 vehicles. At the end, which vehicles will be locked and which vehicles will be unlocked? Which vehicles have been switched the most frequently? How many vehicles, and which ones, were touched exactly five times? Support all of your choices appropriately.

Many thanks to all the responses to my previous posts. I have a followup question or two for engineers or helicopter buffs.
Would a small jet engine, mounted horizontally and suitably armored, in the tail provide enough thrust, be throttleable and be available to power up to full throttle in a matter of seconds to offset LTR. I've seen small jets offered by various companies for models that produce around 100 pounds of thrust and weigh only around 30-35 pounds. You could incorporate existing fuel lines from the main engine to run them and develop a system of control that is either determined by existing pedal inputs or a backup system of hand control or computerized input in conjunction with a gyroscopic mechanism as found on the wheeled single-person transport of the Segway and others. It appears that most LTR situations offer a measure of warning for a pilot to initiate the backup system. All responses welcome and thanks again.

I live in L.A., and will be getting married on January 19, 2008.

The church I want doesn't have the popular "3 p.m." time slot open. It's either 1:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. Personally I think 1:00 might be a little early--and have too much of a time gap for those waiting to attend the reception. But 5:00 is a bit dark....with no time for pictures and stuff, because we would be rushing off to the reception.

Keep in mind we have a lot of elderly and out of towners attending. If you were one of them, which would you prefer, 1:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m.?

I have a friend with a PST file that has exceeded 2GB. This has caused Outlook to slow to a crawl and it is unable to download emails.

I have made a copy of the PST file and transferred it to my computer and opened it in Outlook 2000. If I wait a few minutes I find that I can delete things from it or export them, even though this does nothing to the size of the file. Attempts to compact it do not work.

I have created a new PST file and I am exporting from the old file into the new file. I will then need Outlook on the original computer to recognize the new PST file as it's default.

Any suggestions or is there another way I should be doing this?

I used to let my wife spend all my pay check, but I'm no longer in the mood to let her do that. Now my fair share in our joint account for bills and house hold expense, but the rest I put in my personaly bank account. I just don't feel like I should have to give it up to her just because she wants it. Is this a bad thing or should I be forced to give it up?

It appears as if the selling is quite simple to figure out, but it is not clear how I, as the seller, will recieve the money after the buyer pays with paypal. Do I get a check in the mail? How do I get the money from my sale?

this time when i added oil my front cylinder went from 75 to 150 psi and my rear cylinder went from 120 to 150psi so now i'm thinking it's the rings and not the valves... but then i wonder if i could have added so much oil that the piston splashed oil up around the valves masking any weakness / leaks in the valve ?

Attractive women for the most part, are considered by men.. to be at the top of the food chain. They are the women most men want or wish they could get. Men do not deny this.

Women claim to focus on LOVE and CHEMISTRY when picking men.. but this seems to be false. The women who are considered the BEST according to society often pursue men with money, and/or power and status. They want BAD BOYS and RICH MEN. Not the nice guys who will treat them like a queen. Thats the reputation they have.

Why do they have this reputation?

Men have a reputation for seeking physically attractive women... and last I checked.. most do.. or at least want to.

I say actions speak louder than words. Why do women deny something that is so obvious to men? We see what you DO so why should listen to what you SAY when it doesn't match your actions?

I think it is to me, I'm Black woman with a light skin tone like Alica Keys tone but is it offensive to call us "High Yellow" or "Redboned". Well Some of my family members will say "dnag girl you are so high yellow people always ask me are you mix with something". I can't stand that, when people say those things to lighter skin blacks.

i know wrestling is fake ive been watching it since alot of you were still swimming around in your fathers... well you know what im going to say. it is addicting. its like crack or cigarettes its even worse when you go to a ppv or live raw events. it really brings the best out of you. it is waiting for your favorite wrestler to make his return after a long time away, it is your favorite making his ring entrance and cut a promo. it is waiting for that 5 seconds of awesomeness when ur favorite does his finishing move and gets his hand raised. i dont watch it for the divas i dont watch it because theres nothing on, i watch it for the goosebumps that trickle down my spine when the undertaker makes his entrance or the chuckle i get when stone cold gives a stunner
