...draws (without looking) three cards. Each card has a numbers 1 to 9 on the cards. The players then place their cards on their heads so that everyone but themselves can see the cards. The object of the game is to guess what cards you have on your head. The first person that guesses this correctly wins the game. During the play, each player, inturn, draws a question from a stack of question randomly but in turn. The player then will answer that question based on the cards that they see ( not their own cards , which they can’t see). In this problem Andy has three cards: 1, 5, and 7 Belle has three cards as well 5, 4, and 7. Also Carol has three cards too she has 2, 4, and6, Belle draws the question card that says “ Of the five odd numbers how many do you see?” and she said “I see all of them.” From that I can determine that I have a 3, and a9 on my head because I do not see them on anyone else‘s head. Andy says “I know what three cards that I have on my head they are 1,5,and 7” Andy drew the question “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” to which he answered “Yes” . Andy’s cards sum to 13, Belle cards sum to 16 and Carol’s cards sum is 12. Therefore my cards must equal the sum of one of those numbers. My cards cannot sum to 12 like Carol’s because I need to have a third card on my head, so therefore my cards must equal 13 or 16. My cards cannot equal the sum of 13 because Andy said that he has a 1, 5, and a 7 on his head because he does not see a...

Or maybe we are stranded in a cabin in the mountains in a snow blizzard or something of that nature. No we are playing this game because our nutty professor say’s we have too. Just joking Professor Crossley just trying to make light of the situation and add a bit of humor I’m sure you will agree so laugh and enjoy. Ok back to the guess your card game in which each player draws three cards without looking at the three cards they have chosen. Each card has a number between 1 and 9 on it. Then my opponents place their cards on their heads so that all of us but themselves can see the cards. Our objective is to guess what cards we have ourselves. The first person to do this wins the game I guess I don’t see any other great prize we will receive for performing this task enough with that on with the show.

...problem What cards do I have in a guessing game with each card labeled one through nine? This game is being played with three friends and we can only see what each other have since when we draw the cards it goes on our heads without us seeing what we draw. We have to use logic and math to figure what card(s) we have on our heads. The approach I would use inductive reasoning to solve this problem. This would allow me to logically reason and reach conclusions based on the observations. This means I can look at the cards on my friends head, calculate how much of each number is present in the deck and probability that of me drawing one of the same card my friends have or a different card. In this game I would be using a lot of conjecture; because the evidence is uncertain or incomplete. Conclusion The recommended course of action was to use logic. The type of logic I recommend and used was inductive .Inductive reasoning was useful by using conjecture to find out what cards I had on my head. Another recommendation is to know the amount of each number so that I was able to calculate the probability of drawing a card that one of my three friends has or entirely different cards. I was able to generalize by making individual observation by paying keen attention to my three friends. Solutions Details This would be solved for example there are 4 of each number 1 through 9 giving us a total of 36 cards. Andy, Belle, Carol and I have drawn three cards each. Andy has...

...Logic Application Michael Minor Strayer University Mat104 March 7, 2012 Dr. Raymond Chen I am playing a game of Guess Your Card with three other people. The cards are numbered 1 through 9 and each player is dealt three cards face down. Each player then places their cards on their heads so everyone but themselves can see their cards. From my perspective, Andy has the cards 1, 3, and 7; Belle has the cards 3, 4, and 7; and Carol has the cards 4, 6, and 8. We all must determine what cards are on our heads by the answers to the cards from a deck of questions. Andy draws the question “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” to which he answers “Yes.” Since the sum of Belle’s cards is 14 and the sum of Carol’s cards is 18, this tells me that my cards add up to either 14 or 18. Belle draws the question “Of the five odd numbers, how many different odd numbers do you see?” and answers “All of them.” This tells me that I have a 9 and a 5 on my two of my cards since I can only see a 1, 3, and 7 from my viewpoint. Since I must have a sum of either 14 or 18 on my cards and 9+5=14, I can deduce that the total sum of my cards must be 18 and my final card must be a...

...Logic Application: Guess Your Card Jeffrey Self Professor Mune Lokesh Math 104 Algebra With Applications 19 June 2013 In my scenario I am sitting around the kitchen table with three friends and we decide to play the game Guess Your Card. My friends explain to me that in this game each of us in turn will blindly draw three cards from a partial deck of cards. This deck has had all cards above 9 removed, and for this game’s purposes aces are only equal to 1. Without looking at my cards I am to place them facing out on my forehead so the other players can clearly see the cards. Each of the other players is to do the same. The object of the game is to guess which cards you have on your own head using logic to solve the problem. Players draw question cards that reveal information about player cards, and the first to guess their cards based on the information revealed wins the game. My brother Andy has the cards 1, 5, and 7 showing on his forehead. His wife Belle has 5, 4, and 7. My girlfriend Carol has the cards 2, 4, and 6. Andy is selected to draw the first question card, and it asks if he sees two or more players who’s cards sum to the same value. Andy answers affirmatively. With this information I know that I must have cards that equal either 12 or 16. I know this because Belle’s cards sum to 16 and Carol’s cards sum to 12. Since Andy sees two of us with cars of the same value I am able to confirm that my sum must match either Belle’s or Carol’s. At this point none of us...

...Natalie Montgomery Junhao Huo 6280990 2015.08.06 Non-verbal communication, means is how people can send and receive messages withthrough wordless cues. In other words, non-verbal communication means that people can talk to each other without actually talking. This includesIt concludes numerous behaviours, for examples, body language, touch, voice, eye movement, behaviors and facial expressions. Indeed, non-verbal communication contains almost all the methods to expressing feelings and emotions without talking;. Hhowever, how do weto explain that why non-verbal communication is significant to humans and society, and why do we study non-verbal communication? In my opinion, it is because non-verbal elements are the determinants for interpersonal environments, and emotions are often more accurate than verbal elements. In addition, the non-verbal cues represent the most proper medium for suggestion, are a and more efficient means of communication than verbal cues, and they play a significant and indispensable roles in high quality communication. Thus, thisTherefore, that is exactly why I was am interested in non-verbal communication and decided to take CMN 2132 this summer: to discover what is non-verbal communication is. Currently, tThe course is now completedone and I have a very happy and unforgettable memory infrom this course. In this course, I have learned gained a huge amount of knowledge about...

...evening as I drove home from work. I was taking in the beautiful Alaskan scenery and thinking of how far that I had come with my life. Feelings of thankfulness ran through my thoughts as I remembered all of the help that I had received during hard times. Those times seemed to be so very long ago, but yet so vivid in my memory. The ability to lift my head up gave me a different perspective on life. It was that much easier to relax and focus while taking in the beauty around me. Driving home that day I can remember that there were a few puffy clouds in the sky that they reminded me of cotton balls. There was a gentle wind off of the Pacific Ocean that carried the smell of a fisherman’s hard day at sea. Along with that breeze came the reminder of winter from the chill that followed. Off in the distance I could see a Subway sign. Instantly, I had a vision of freshly baked, warm, fluffy, honey wheat bread topped with crisp, juicy vegetables and partially heated moist, tender chicken teriyaki. Since my taste buds had been awakened, I had no choice but to pull in and eat. I walked in and right away I noticed that there was a little boy up against the ordering glass. The little guy was rocking from foot to foot in a sideways motion with great enthusiasm. He had on some frayed Wrangler jeans, and a tee-shirt that was too small for his quickly growing body. His oily head of hair was reflecting the incandescent lights above, and his eyes were slightly hidden by his finger print contaminated...

...just smiled and nodded my head at them then proceeded to the card aisle. At first, I didn’t know what kind of card I was going to get. I was looking at the thank you cards and feel better cards but had to pull my phone out and take a look at the rubric for the paper that I took a picture of. It said right on the paper, birthday card. As I was making my way to the birthday cards, I was reading what I had to say when I was returning the card. I had to say something like, my mom already bought a birthday card and I was not aware of it. I started thinking about what if they ask me questions about the card. What was I going to say? I then had to take a couple minutes to think up of a story to tell them if they started conversing with me. I am the type of person that can’t just be put on the spot. I have to know what I am saying and doing first, then I can feel better and play along. I thought about my little cousin who just turned five. I recently went to his birthday party a couple weeks ago. I then thought about how my mom was getting off work and was coming home to pick me up to ride together to the party. I had it all figured out. I started looking at the birthday cards and noticed how expensive they are. $4.99 is a lot of money for a card. Noted above, I only had $2.75 on me at the time. I was nervous because I didn’t want to use a debit or credit card to buy a card. I noticed a sign that said 99cents so I rushed over to the cards becoming worry free. I...

...Target Trauma I grabbed my back-to-school list and rushed to the van. We were finally going school shopping and I was excited. The only thing I enjoyed more than school shopping was actually going to school! The only problem about back-to-school shopping was that my annoying big brother was along. Adam and I got along well when we wanted to, but when we would disagree it was ugly. We are two years apart in age so he was going into fifth grade and I was going into third. As we buckled our seat belts, Mom lectured, “You kids need to behave and get along today.” Together Adam and I replied politely, “We promise Mom, we will.” I understood because it was going to be a long day of shopping in St. Cloud. I did not know then that I would experience a misunderstanding between a mother and her children that would have a lasting impact on all our lives. Every year we went to St. Cloud to get our school shopping done. On the ride there I had planned out in my mind all the supplies I was going to get later that day. The whole way there Adam rambled on about how eager he was about spending his lawn mowing money that he earned throughout summer. Finally, we rolled into St. Cloud at about 10:00 a.m. All the stores were swarming with parents and children frantically getting their last minute shopping done before school. We did a little shopping at Kohl’s and Shopko, and then I requested that we go to eat because my tummy was growling, and I did not want to do any more shopping on an...

...Your Card with three (3) other players. Here is what you see: • Andy has the cards 1, 5, and 7 • Belle has the cards 5, 4, and 7 • Carol has the cards 2, 4, and 6 Andy draws the question card, “Do you see two (2) or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” He answers, “Yes.” Next Belle draws the question card, “Of the five (5) odd numbers, how many different odd numbers do you see?” She answers, “All of them.” I attend to present on the solution of a set theory and logic problem using a deduction method. Based on the information provided, I will guess the cards I have on my head and explain the deduction methods. The salient facts of the problem are that Andy answers yes to the question, “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value.” Then Belle answers yes to the question, “Of the five odd numbers, how many different odd numbers do you see?” this means that Belle sees 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. I also know that Andy has a 1, a 5, and a 7. Below are the three sets held by Andy, Belle, and Carol as follows: A = {1, 5, 7} B = {4, 5, 7} C = {2, 4, 6} My strategy for solving the problem is to use deductive reasoning and the process of elimination. I will then find the sum of each the sets. So we know that A = {1, 5, 7} and the sum is 13. B = {4, 5, 7} is 4 + 5+ 7= 16. C = {2, 4, 6} = 2 + 4+ 6 =12. With the information given above I know that my cards must be equal to the sum of one of the above sets. Since the sums of Belle’s and Carol’s cards are not...

...playing a card game called Guess Your Card with three other players, Andy, Carol and Belle. The concept of this game is draw three cards out of a pile of cards where each card has a number between 1 and 9. You, along with the other players, must place these cards on your head without looking at them. Everyone but you should be able to see your cards. There is also another set of question cards that each player must draw from. Players can begin to predict which cards they possess by listening to other players answer questions from this deck. The player who draws a question card must answer the question on each card they draw. They answer these questions based on the other players cards, not their own. The object of the game is to guess what cards you have before anyone else does. I can figure out what cards I have by listening to each question and answer and directly relating them to my own cards. Through the process of elimination, and simple math I can determine which cards I hold. My cards are 4, 5, & 9. I determined the answer to this question by analyzing the following questions and answers. The first question drawn by the player, Andy, was, “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” The player answered “yes”. Looking at the other two players cards I determined: Sum of Belle’s cards = 3 + 4 + 7 = 14 Sum of Carol’s cards= 4 + 6 + 8 = 18 Since these have different sums, but Andy sees at least two players whose cards have the same sum, then my cards must...

"I know what I have," he says. "I have a 1, a 5, and a 7." Andy draws the question card, “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” He answers, “`yes.” The sum of Belle's cards 5+4+7 = 16 sum of Carol's cards = 2+4+6 = 12 I found that there are 2 different sums but Andy sees at least two players whose cards have the same sum, which means my cards either adds up to 12 or 16 . If the only odd cards Belle sees are 1, 5, 7 from Andy then I must have a 3 and a 9 which equals 12. My sum either is 12 or 16 and since 3 + 9 = 12, and smallest card is 1, then my cards must add up to 16. We know now that my cards must equal 16 and that I have two cards both 9 and 3 which add to 12. 16-12=4 my cards are 9, 3,...

...The Dangers of Credit Cards Credit cards are an inevitable factor in growing up. Once you turn eighteen it all starts. You receive applications in the mail daily and commercials appear on television as well. This starts to spark an interest. So you say to yourself, "I think I'm responsible enough to get a credit card, I'll only use it for emergencies." Then you apply and it may take a couple times to finally be approved for one. This only makes it worse, of course, because you realize how long you have waited and now you get to buy anything you want, after all you don't have to pay it off for a month. The year is 2001, more and more teen's own credit cards and are already establishing their credit history. This essay will prove the truth about credit cards and what it's like to be in debt. It will also show the easy ways in which commercials and credit card companies can lure you into debt. Credit cards seem to be the easy way to purchase things. If you want a pair of pants but don't have the cash, you can just charge it. In reality, credit cards are not that easy. Once you are approved for a card the company gives you a credit limit, which is proportional to your income. On the average, an eighteen year old would have about a $250 limit. Which is good because it means teenagers cannot charge past the maximum amount of money. When a credit card is maxed out it means that you have hit the highest amount of money you can spend and it won't let you spend anymore...

...April Westmoreland 04-21-2016 “Gender Languages In Birthday Congratulatory Cards” As you walk into a store to search for a congratulatory card, it can be daunting to pick out that specific card you need for the special occasion. As a society, we often rush to get a specific card without really thinking about how the congratulatory cards are a part of the “gender language” in our society. Gender language is the properties and visuals in our society that divides gender into different categories through the “language” it gives off. A perfect example of this is the variety of cards within stores, supermarkets, and specialty retailers. Upon entering these businesses, it is apparent that most of the cards are geared toward appealing to women due to the fact large sections of the card categories are for mothers, wives, sisters, daughters in comparison to the small sections of the card categories that are geared towards husbands, brothers, fathers, sons. This project will focus on the gender language segregation that is prevalent within the congratulatory cards in stores. We will focus on the structure of the cards, the visuals, the symbols used to appeal to different genders as well as the importance of the words that are used in the cards to draw in consumers of different gender. We must first look at what gender means, according to Henslin, gender is the socially learned behaviors that are attached to the sexes (Henslin, p. 322). Due to behaviors being socially learned...
