I'm referring to the Biblical book of Judges. Samson kills a lion(?) and,upon returning to the site sometime later,finds that bees have made a hive in the would-be attacker's remains from which he harvests honey which he shares,then tells others about this strange event.

for natural gas and electric

since electric has no vent then it is 100% effecient minus what heat warms the room (so would depend on room temperature)

a new natural gas furnace is said to be 80-90% effecient, so only 20-10% of the heat goes up the chimney?
how does this compare to a water heater? (if you are using it continuously and not counting the heat lost while it sits idle full of hot water.)

thanks

I am not a mathematician but a need, for a document, a standard mathematical notation or symbology for:

a)A very very big known number, like a Google Plex
b)A ver very big unknown number, e.g. no yet determined but bigger

A Latex symbol or notation would be fine. In fact any help or link would be highly appreciated.

I am confused since I was taught that Henry Ford invented the automobile, now there's a lady in a museum who says Elwood Haynes did, but Ford mass produced the automobile, and now a Daimler-Chrysler commercial claims the automobile was invented in Germany.

Y answers mate, Stephen Hawking thinks with outside reasons, we have made such a mess of it, that we'll have to get off this planet to survive but, what if we came here to survive from some other galaxy, where we did the same thing? Wouldn't it be better for other galaxys if we stopped the contamination right here?

I always believe that after a nuclear explosion that there is this nuclear fallout, but isn't there a way to get rid of it? or is it going to be around for a long time. I remember hearing a weapons expert on talk radio say that U.S. Nuclear weapons now are more advanced to the point where during a nuclear explosion, all the radioactive materials burn up, thus almost reducing the Nuclear Fallout to none. Plus, I remember him saying that after a Nuclear blast, the way to get rid of the radiation is to get out a Geiger Counter with some protective gear and pick up all the radioactive materials left over. I mean how is Nagasaki and Hiroshima habitable now?

3. Simplify: 9 – 2[7 – 17] ÷ (-5)

Which one:

9-2(-10) ÷ (-5)
9-2(-10) ÷ (5-5)
9+20 ÷ (-5) <-- add first?
29 ÷ (-5)
= 29/5 or 5 4/5

OR:

9 – 2[7 – 17] ÷ (-5)
= 9 – 2[-10] ÷ (-5)
= 9 + 20 ÷ (-5)
= 9 – 4
= 5
