Title: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: BigTomatoes on June 03, 2006, 06:21:34 PM 8 FOOTBALL MATCHES HOW MANY COMBINATIONS OF RESULTS ARE POSSIBLE ? HOME/ AWAY/ DRAW ANY PROBLEM SOLVERS OR BRAINIACS OUT THERE KNOW THE ANSWER? Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 06:28:23 PM 720
Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: gatso on June 03, 2006, 06:39:52 PM 6561
Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: BigTomatoes on June 03, 2006, 06:42:54 PM SOMEBODIES TELLING FIBS CAN ANYONE ELABORATE? Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 06:48:50 PM You have 3 possible outcomes and 8 teams.
Therefore 3^8 or 6561 Sorry, i was just messing about :D Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: BigTomatoes on June 03, 2006, 06:51:08 PM 16 games
but 3 possible outcomes 8 matches Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: gatso on June 03, 2006, 06:52:14 PM 1 match= 3 options W,L,D=3 to the power of 1
2 matches= 9 options WW,WD,WL,DW,DD,DL,LW,LD,LL=3 to the power of 2 and so on x matches=3 to the power of x so 8 matches = 3 to the power of 8 =6561 edit- obviously I meant H,A,D as my 3 options, not W,L,D Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 03, 2006, 06:53:20 PM Thee asy way to do is a Calculator an you can have results per match so 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
And the answer is 6561 Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 06:54:14 PM 16 games but 3 possible outcomes 8 matches Now i'm confused??? If there are 16 matches then 3^16 (^ means to the power of) Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: gatso on June 03, 2006, 06:55:15 PM Thee asy way to do is a Calculator an you can have results per match so 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 And the answer is 6561 or 3x^y8= is one hell of a lot easier Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 03, 2006, 06:56:21 PM 16 games but 3 possible outcomes 8 matches 129140153 for 16 games Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 06:57:24 PM 16 games but 3 possible outcomes 8 matches 129140153 for 16 games LOL, i get that to 43046721 Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 03, 2006, 06:57:26 PM Thee asy way to do is a Calculator an you can have results per match so 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 And the answer is 6561 or 3x^y8= is one hell of a lot easier Only for mathematicians, and if you have a scientific calculator I reckon myw ay is the easiest for majority of people.

Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 07:01:12 PM My head hurts, i'm going to the pub..................
Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: gatso on June 03, 2006, 07:01:29 PM use the calc in windows. click on 'view' and select 'scientific'
Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 07:02:22 PM or just type it into google, not many people know google is a calculator
Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: gatso on June 03, 2006, 07:04:16 PM or just type it into google, not many people know google is a calculator wow, cool. It works. I had no idea you could do that Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: BigTomatoes on June 03, 2006, 07:04:51 PM forget my post of 16 games
i meant 16 TEAMS 8 games so we all agree it is 6561 outcomes Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 03, 2006, 07:08:24 PM forget my post of 16 games i meant 16 TEAMS 8 games so we all agree it is 6561 outcomes SO you mean 8 matches, just as the original poster asked? Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 07:09:06 PM or just type it into google, not many people know google is a calculator wow, cool. It works. I had no idea you could do that It also holds all the latest currency conversion rates so if you ever need to know how many $ in the £ you type in: 1 GBP in USD Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: gatso on June 03, 2006, 07:12:12 PM I could be at this for hours. just found it does distance conversions as well so I assume it does everything.
I'll play after Dr Who it's a bit sad that I'm so impressed by this Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: ifm on June 03, 2006, 07:13:26 PM It's sadder that you are watching Dr Who! :D

Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: bhoywonder on June 04, 2006, 04:27:26 PM yeah man
# now ur talking go for google earth absolutely amazing program..... puts a new perspective on this wee planet Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: Sark79 on June 04, 2006, 04:29:49 PM It is great isn't it. I got the link from Nemesis. Absolutely brilliant it is
Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 04, 2006, 06:24:57 PM When I first used google earth I was visiting all the European football stadiums I had been to.
It was great at first but then I got bored. But how good is google? Title: Re: Any Mathematicians out there? Post by: henrik777 on June 05, 2006, 06:54:38 PM http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=link%3Awww.blondepoker.com&meta=
