how did you deal with this? and if it felt impossible but you really did earn the A how did you go about it? did you just work harder? sometimes even working the hardest will not get me an A.

Five men and a monkey were shipwrecked on a island, and they spent the first day gathering coconuts.They piled them up together and then went to sleep for the night.

But when they were all asleep one man woke up, and he thought there might be a row about dividing the coconuts in the morning, so he decided to take his share. So he divided the coconuts into file piles. He had one coconut left over, and he gave that to the monkey, and he hid his pile and put the rest all back together.

By and by the next man woke up and did the same thing. And he had one left over and he gave it to the monkey. And all five men did the same thing, one after the other; each one taking a fifth of the coconuts in the pile when he woke up, and each one having one left over for the monkey.

And in the morning they divided what coconuts were left and they came out in five equal shares. Of course each one knew that there were coconuts missing but noone spoke up.

How many coconuts were there in the beginning?

Here's an example... Lets say you measured the distance from Earth to some random star, and found it to be 12,000,000,000 light years away, accurate to the nearest light year, now since you measured that distance with your super 1-light-year-long measuring sticks (lol), you know your answer is accurate to the nearest light year... So the 9 zeros at the end of the number SHOULD be considered significant, but by following the rules for significant figures, you only assume the 1 and 2 to be...

How can you signify the significance of those zeros? I know you could do it like this...
1.2000000000*10^10
But is that how you should always do it? Or is there another way?

Thanks.

P.S. I classified this under chemistry because you seem to use the concept the MOST there, I understand you use it in other fields, and probably least of all in mathematics ( I didn't say not at all), so don't whine about my classification and ask me to put it there... ya...

^Sorry about that part, but ut was needed.

sunlight takes 8 and a 1/2 minutes to reach earth.. so is it true that the position at which we see the sun now was actually the position of the sun 8 and 1/2 minutes before this...

Consider a perfectly rectangular room 12 ft high, 12 ft wide, 30 ft long. A spider is in the middle of one end wall, 1 ft from the ceiling. A fly is in the middle of the opposite wall, 1 ft from the floor and paralyzed with fear.

What is the shortest distance the spider must crawl along the walls, ceiling and/or floor in order to reach the fly.

I'm not looking for just their names, I want to know the position of the active cells in it, so that I can actually see something besides a brief description of what it does :-/

Thanks

P.S. I'm talking about standard life rules:

1. Any live cell with fewer than two neighbours dies, as if by loneliness.
2. Any live cell with more than three neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
3. Any live cell with two or three neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three neighbours comes to life.

Also, on a standard 2 dimensional grid with only dead or alive cells.

I understand about lowering the freezing point of H2O. But if cold is the absence of heat then adding salt doesn't remove any energy/heat. Why doesn't it simply melt into liquid and stay the same temperature?
