How can I reserve the consumption of a an engine operating on diesel?
Perhaps "reserve" is a combo of "reduce" and "conserve" ? The usual use of the word "reserve" (to hold back for later use) at first seems to apply, but that word is never used for making an engine run on less fuel. The answer to "How can I reserve fuel ?" would be to keep some in a plastic fuel container for later use. StuRat 10:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, in baseball, on which side of the plate does a right-handed batter usually stand? Assuming you're at the catcher's position looking at the pitcher. Are there any names for the batter's boxes?
I know the Korean terms for "left hitter/right hitter" or "left batter's box/right batter's box" but I don't have any idea what the left/right terms really mean. -- Kjoon lee 17:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Im in a quandry. Thanks
So, in power, a little. In sovereignty, no. Britain is a unitary state. In other words, ALL sovereignty is vested in Westminster. Say the Channel Islands want to become independent. At the end of the day, only Westminster can decide that: constitutionally, at least. Contrast this with the US, a federation. If a new state were to be made along the border of two others, both of the states AND the federal Congress would need to permiss. Or even the EU, a confederation. If France wanted to become independent, it could do it (constitutionally) weather the EU liked it or not.
And then there is power. There are substantial powers devolved to Edinburgh and Cardiff, and if we keep on going at this rate, Belfast – as a result of the “St. Andrews Agreement”. So in short, they have enough independence to make some laws themselves – on, for example health. But they have no independence on matters of sovereignty, all of which remains at Westminster (the exeption is Northern Ireland: it is a special case, under the Belfast Agreement). martianlostinspace 14:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Who got their EQAO (Grade 6) back? Himanyo 17:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
From personal experiences, you should be receving your results for your EQAO tests approximately 1 year after writing the test. Jamesino 20:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible to teach oneself to play the piano from music, from a book? Or can one only teach ones self to play by ear?-- Light current 19:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes its fingering Im worried about, I can work out the notes myself.-- Light current 11:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I found this floating around out on the internet, with no answer. Any suggestions?
"Brad and Alex have the following conversation:
What are the ages of Alex’s three children?"
You need the house number to find the three ages. You need the names and hair color, and know that one of the children (without red hair) is younger than another child (without red hair) to attach names to the ages. There's not enough information to solve it. -- AstoVidatu 23:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty that its supposed to be solved with only this information.
OK, so the product of their ages is 36, which means that one of the following must be the answer:
1 × 1 × 36 = 36
1 × 2 × 18 = 36
1 × 3 × 12 = 36
1 × 4 × 9 = 36
1 × 6 × 6 = 36
2 × 2 × 9 = 36
2 × 3 × 6 = 36
3 × 3 × 4 = 36
But still we don't know. Then Alex mentions that the sum of the ages is Brad's address. This seems to be unhelpful since we don't know Brad's address. But Brad knows his address: why can't he figure which of the 8 is correct? Add up the possibilities:
1 + 1 + 36 = 38
1 + 2 + 18 = 21
1 + 3 + 12 = 16
1 + 4 + 9 = 14
1 + 6 + 6 = 13
2 + 2 + 9 = 13
2 + 3 + 6 = 11
3 + 3 + 4 = 10
Aha! Brad still doesn't know because his address is 13, but there are two possibilites.
1, 6, and 6
2, 2, and 9
Then Alex mentions an oldest son. Since the first choice has two sixes—two oldest sons—it is wrong, so the kids must be aged 2, 2, and 9.
Of course, this might be wrong because it's possible that randy Alex and Alice may have gotten busy quick and had a new child before the first one had a birthday. Unlikely, but possible. Hyenaste (tell) 00:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
