A water treatment plant is built with three cylindrical tanks to contain the water for a town. Each tank has a radius of 15 feet and a depth of 25 feet and there are about 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot of water.
Engineers know that the amount of water lost due to evaporation is directly proportional to the surface area of the holding tanks and that the local climate causes water to evaporate at the rate of about 1/10 gallons of water per hour for each square foot of water exposed to the air. About how many total gallons of waste water may enter the three tanks each day to maintain full capacity?
A. 2.1 x 10^2
B. 1.7 x 10^3
C. 5 x 10^3
D. 5 x 10^4

I have an out break of these pesky things in my kitchen. whenever I squash one, it leaves a red stain on the surface like full mosquitos do. I am also itchy but it may be psychosomatic.

If you do, I feel sorry for you for being such an idiot.

It's really confusing to a layman such as myself. I know very elementary theoretical physics but my background is in chemistry. This is facinating stuff.

Was wondering if its possible to "live forever" or at least until an accident.

A potato is a roundish tuber with a thin skin on it. Once the skin is removed inside there is a roundish white ball of starch, which is commonly called a potato. The potato is a root of a plant, it is the place where the plant stores food and water. My question is does a potato have cellulose anywhere in the potato itself, not the plant but the tuber root, the white ball of starch, the thing that everybody loves to bake and eat?

How is it that we can chew, and chew, and chew bubble gum, and chewing gum, and it never loses its texture. How is chewing gum made, and what ingredients are used to make it?

Evolution is a modern creation myth in a specialized sense, regardless of its correspondence to the facts. Evolution is a myth about origins i.e. how the universe and us came ino being. What be your thoughts on this matter?

Is there any formula or something to find out log and antilog of a number?

I want this to calculate:
X^Y
where X and Y are both fractions.

Ever notice that when mathmeticians generalize something they mean "with no exceptions" - e.g. you may prove something for one example, then generalize it to all cases.

But in common speech, when we say "in general" or that we are "generalizing" we mean that we are saying it is for all cases, but we acknowledge that there are a few exceptions.

I think it explains why sometimes students have problems learning proofs. that is, when we take common speech words and modify their meaning a bit.
