Question

2.The longest disco dancing marathon began on January 18, 1982, and was 371 hours long. If the dancing began at 9 A.M. on January 18, on what date did the marathon end?

How many more stars are on the United States flag today than on the flag created by Betsy Ross in 1777?

4. A recorder is a type of flut. The number of holes on a recorder is a factor of 32. How many holes are on a recorder?

Answer 1

1. 3720Feet.

2. This is a trick question because if you go by historical dates, the answer is John Sharples of England on Wednesday Feb 3, 1982. However, the question's facts were worded in such a way that this could not work out to this date. It becomes necessary to manually work out the answer and simply provide it (I suspect this was to try and catch people who did the google angle - lame try). The manually derived answer - based upon the provided information in this question is Tuesday Feb 2, 1982 at 8pm.

3. Betsy Ross had 13 stars. The current flag has 50 stars. Therefore, the current flag has 37 more stars than the Betsy Ross flag had.

4. Eight holes.

Answer 2

I can help you with only # 3.

#1 I don't know how many feet are in a fathom.
#2, I'm just to lazy to figure out.
and #4...I just don't figuring out how to do that.

SORRY!

3. 37 stars. The old flag that Betsy made only had 13 stars (i.e. 13 colonies) and todays has 50..so 50-13=37.

Answer 3

1.3720 i think a fathom is 6ft
2.Feb. 2 9:46 and i know the day is right but not time
3. 37 more stars
4. 8
