AI Thread Summary
In the CWS eating challenge, A and B raced with 400 Canadian Wild Strawberries each, with A finishing first in 13.2 seconds. B then raced C, winning with 261 CWS, leaving C with 117 due to a toothache. Jack and John discuss A's subsequent race against C, with both having N CWS, and clues suggest N is in the 200 to 500 range. The solution reveals that the ratio of A's to C's consumption must be a multiple of 25, leading to 13 possible values for N. Ultimately, the unique solution for N is determined to be 250.

Jack, John and CWS's
==============
Canadian Wild Strawberries (CWS) are tiny but tasty.
A and B each have a jar containing 400 CWS; they decide
to have a CWS eating race; A wins, swallowing his last
CWS when B still has 23 left. Took A 13.2 seconds; burp!
Next, B takes on C, each with a jar containing 261 CWS;
B wins, C left with 117 CWS (C has a bad toothache).
Jack: well, John, A took on C next
John: you ya I'm sure he did
Jack: each had a jar containing N CWS's
John: oh boy
Jack: want to try figure out what N is?
John: not really
Jack: here's a hint: in the 200 to 500 range, and they
both swallowed at same speed as in their 1st race
John: oh ya? (comes back with a printout)
Jack: A beat C by an integral amount
John: ya; I figured as much; need another clue
Jack: the sum of digits of the number of CWS that C had left
when A finished is equal to this number here
...and John knew.
What is the value of N?

Before I forget/lose my solution:

SOLUTION
Result of A:B and B:C races means A:C = 400:208.
So, for all to be integral, jars must contain a
multiple of 25, since 25:13 is lowest.
There are 13 such possibilities in the 200-500 range:
Code:
            A ate   C ate   A-C  SUMDIGITS
             200     104     96     15
             225     117    108      9
             250     130    120      3*
             275     143    132      6
             300     156    144      9
             325     169    156     12
             350     182    168     15
             375     195    180      9
             400     208    192     12
             425     221    204      6
             450     234    216      9
             475     247    228     12
             500     260    240      6
Only 3 is unique as sum of digits of the differences.
So N = 250.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
