"The news has reached me that one day a customer brought into the shop of Abdul the Jeweler six chains, each of which had five links. He wanted the six chains to be joined into one large circular chain and inquired as to the cost. "Well,' replied the jeweler, 'every link I cut open and close costs one piece of silver.' The question, Your Majesty, is how many pieces of silver are required for the job?"

I have been told that every body of matter (everything from the pencil I used to write this all the way to planet Earth) exerts a graviational-like force on every other body of matter. In other words: I'm somehow exerting a force on the computer screen that I'm using, not to mention everything else in this room.

But how does this theory fit in with Einsteins concept of gravity, where gravity is a direct result of the geometrical curvature of space.

I need to research a certain topic for mathematics. It's not simply looking in books and internet, but I actually have to do the research. For instance, I heard one person last year used the golden ratio and researched if it affected sense of taste. They applied the golden ratio and made cookies and got people to judge whether the golden ratio cookies tasted better than the normal recipie cookies. This is a two year project so I would like an entertaining and informative topic.
P.S. My grade level is 10th grade but I'm looking for topics that are in the 11th-12th grade level.

Thank you

Two people in the US are talking on the phone. One person is in a state on the Atlantic Ocean, and the other is in a state on the Pacific Ocean. One happens to mention the time where they live, and the other replies, "that's funny, it's the exact same time here!" Both of their clocks are correct. How can this be?

Every week my teacher posts clues for a city in the USA. And we have to guess it and the first one to guess it right gets bonus points. So far these are the clues.
1. Is in the wolverine state
2. Is located North of Canada.
I'm not sure if question number two means Canada the country or a city named Canada
Hope you guys can help.

"Ten thieves stole into Abdul's shop. Some of them were armed and some were unarmed. The armed ones were those of senior rank. Anyway, they stole a bag of fifty-six pearls. When it came to dividing them up, each senior robber took six pearls, and each junior robber got five. How many of the robbers were senior?"

If density of a gas is 1.2 g/L at 0.98026 atm and 293 L, what is the molecular mass ?

I solved this using MW = (mRT)/PV and got 29.44 g. is this correct? MW is molecular weight and m comes from n (moles)= m (mass)/MW (molecular weight.)
plz help! THANKS!

A block of mass m = 3.00 kg situated on a rough incline at an angle of = 37.0° is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100 N/m (Fig. P8.58). The pulley is frictionelss. The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. The block moves 13.5 cm down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and incline.

the figure can be seen here >> http://www.webassign.net/sb5/p8-58alt.gif

I'm assuming I want to use conservation of energy, but I'm just not really sure how to get it started... any help would be appreciated.

Anna visited her aunt in a town which is 235 miles from where Anna lives. On her way to her aunt's town she had to slow down for 70 miles where one of the lanes was closed due to a traffic accident. If she had to slow down by 20 mph, and the trip took her 5 hours, find the speed at which she drove on the one lane portion. (Hint: after establishing your equation as a rational equation, convert it into a quadratic equation).
