AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving word ladder puzzles, where participants change one letter at a time to form new words. A user expresses confusion about the task, prompting others to explain the process. They clarify that each step must result in a valid word and that the order of letters remains unchanged. Examples are provided, demonstrating how to transition from "point" to "raids" and from "bolt" to "card." The conversation highlights the collaborative effort to understand and solve these brainteasers effectively.

I don't know if this is a math question, but my math teacher gave this fun sheet to me but I have no idea to do it because I have no idea what it is asking. Maybe someone can help me out:
You can change one letter on each step, and each step has to contain a "real word". You can move up or down the ladeder.

point
-----

-----

-----

-----
raids

This is one ladder. Another one is:

bolt
------

------

------

------
card


Anyone know how to do these question?

Well, there's no system. At each level you just take each letter from the word you want to "get to" and see if it fits the word you've got. Note that the order of the letters in each step isn't scrambled.

For example, in the first one the only letter that can be placed in its place from "raids" in "point" is 'a' which then changes the word to "paint".
 
Well Just try them out.
Aviv87 has instructed very well

The first one:
Point
Paint
Pains
Rains
Raids
:smile:

The second one:

Bolt
Colt
Cold
Cord
Card

:rolleyes:
 
Haha Thanks soo much prasanna:) I love you!
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
