AI Thread Summary
The hotel survey revealed that 2560 guests were questioned about their tipping habits. A total of 1785 guests tipped wait staff, 1219 tipped luggage handlers, and 831 tipped maids. The results showed that 245 guests tipped all three services, while 210 guests did not tip any. To determine how many guests tipped exactly two services, a three-way Venn diagram can be used to visualize the overlaps among the groups. This analysis helps clarify the tipping patterns among the surveyed guests.

The hotel conducted a survey. It found that of the 2560 guests who were surveyed,
1785 tip the wait staff

831 tip the maids
275 tip only the maids and the luggage handlers
700 tip only the wait staff and the maids
755 only tip the wait staff and the luggage handlers

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
