Your turn for the next question. Edit: So many quick answers! We have algebra teachers here? I should have went harder. Last edited by Fbone; 10-10-2012 at 08:26 PM. |

So here is a harder number problem. Consider the sequence of numbers 1 through 9 arranged in order: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Using only the arithmetical operations plus (+) and minus (-) group these numbers without change in order to compute the number 100. The numbers can be merged to form a larger number. Here is one example: 1+2+34-5+67-8+9 = 100 This required use of six + or – operations. Find a solution that uses the minimum number of operations. It is less than 6. Same question only now reverse the order of the numbers; I.e. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 |

123+45-67+8-9 = 100
You know what they say, there are three kinds of people in the world -- those who can add and those who can't. |

Yes, it takes at four operands for the reverse order. |

Hey you guys, this is an easy one. Name the only Hispanic actor that has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony.

Not sure about all the other awards, but he definitely won an Oscar (for Traffic).

Somehow seeing him crooning love songs just boggles my mind.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond (stupid work). Issybird did get it right.
Notice the "Hey you guys" reference? That was from when she was on The Electric Company PBS show. She is 80 now -- and still pretty. BTW, if you can win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony you make otherwise awesome people look like a bunch of slackers. Last edited by Daithi; 10-11-2012 at 12:45 PM. |

Ah, is one of those awards for singing? I just assumed that they were all acting things.
