Wooden notched building sticks (for children) 1980s - anyone remember what they were called?
When I was a child (late 80s but pieces might be older because I was the youngest), we had a kit of wooden building pieces that made a house. The pieces varied in length from about 3cm to 30cm but all had a square cross section and had notches cut into them (in pairs on either side of the piece). The shorter ones (about 15cm) had them near each end (about 1 cm from the ends) and the longer ones had another pair of notches about 1/3 of the way along. There were also little ones that were only about 3 cm long and had one pair of notches cut into them. The set was meant to build a house and included a few rectangular shaped pieces with a groove cut into each side near each end but you could make other things with them too. The wood was fairly light but strong and pale in colour. I just remembered them recently when I saw a friends silk painting frame but I cannot remember what they were called! I'd be very grateful if anyone who remembers could tell me the brand name and the first answer that leads me to a link where I can get some will get Best Answer :)
We start with a square of the 4-match sticks flip one of the horizontal sides over, keeping the connections to the two vertical sides which now cross each other. We now have 2-triangles. Start over again, shift one of the parallel horizontal match sticks to make a rhombus from the square and again flip one of the horizontal sides… the cross over of the tilted parallel sides now makes two more triangles.. In like fashion, by changing the tilt of the rhombus we can make an infinite number of triangles.
Im bored and I want to craft something with popscicle sticks, foam shapes and glue and cotton balls?
You can make various styles of containers with lids using your ice cream sticks and glue. Make a square one to begin with so you get the hang of it before going on to more complicated shapes. To make a square container: First, you need to lay down the base. To do this, lay down say eight sticks alongside each other. Take another stick and lay it on the top of the base edge. No part of the top stick should be hanging over the edge. If it is, place another stick on the base until it is even with the top stick. Now, take the top stick off and cover one side of it with glue. Carefully place it onto the base as you did before. Press down firmly. Get another stick. Cover one side of it with glue and place it opposite the stick you just pasted. You will now have your base (bottom of the container) and two side sticks done. To completed the sides, get another stick and put glue on both ends of it (not all over it). Place it on the ends of the two completed sides. Take another stick and do the same. Keep building the sides of the container until you have the depth you want. To make the lid: Do the same as you did for the base. Lay enough sticks out to equal the length of a stick. Then, put glue on another stick and place along the edge of the base sticks. Press down. Put glue along another stick and place opposite the one you just laid down. It will look exactly like the start of your container. Turn the lid over so that its resting on the two "side" sticks. Now, cut 2 sticks in half - you now have 4 half sticks. Cover one side of a half stick with glue and place in the middle of the lid. Repeat with the 3 remaining sticks. If you have paint, you can paint all the sticks first before gluing. It's pretty difficult to paint nicely once the container has already been made. The same goes if you would like to stain or varnish them.
Recipe calls for3/4stick of but, she has enough other ingred to make6batches if she has3sticks of butter how?
Think about the question in quarters. If you break it down into 1/4 it makes more sense. if you cut your butter into 4 equal parts, take away 3 of those equal parts, you are left with one equal part. To make one batch of cookies, you will use 3 of the equal parts (3/4) and you will have 1 left over. To make another batch, you cut your butter into 4 equal parts, use 3 of the equal part (3/4) and you will have 1 left over -- now you have two left over parts that are equal to 1/4, if you add 1/4 and 1/4, you have 1/2. You now have made two batches of cookies using two sticks of butter and have 1/2 stick of butter left over. To make another batch, you cut your third stick of butter into 4 equal parts, use 3 of the equal part (3/4) and you will have 1 left over -- now you have three left over parts that are equal to 1/4 plus 1/4 plus 1/4 that equals 3/4. You have enough equal parts of butter to make the final and fourth batch. 1/4 plus 1/4 plus 1/4 equals 3/4. 3/4 plus 3/4 equals 1 1/2. 1 1/2 plus 1 1/2 equals 3 ______________________________________... 3/4 stick of butter will make 1 batch. 1 1/2 sticks of butter will make 2 batches. 3 sticks will make 4 batches.
The probability of getting a stick longer than 2/3 is 1/3.First of, we draw 2 marks on the stick, 1/3 and 2/3 down the stick. It is obvious that the first break have to be in one of the ends (the first third or the last third), so the probability of the first break being acceptable, is 2/3. The second break either have to be in the same third, the chances of this is 1/3. Or it have to be more than 2/3 away from the first break. This probability depends on the position of the first break and is 1/6. This is because that being more than 2/3 away has a probability between 0 and 1/3 and if you average all numbers between 0 and 1/3 you get 1/6.So they are either both in the same third 2/3 * 1/3 = 2/9.Or they are more than 2/3 from each other 2/3 * 1/6 = 1/9So the combined probability of getting a stick that is longer than 2/3 is 2/9 + 1/9 = 3/9 = 1/3.
RAM: Double-Sided, Single-Sided and configurations.?
I'm just a little confused. First, I have 3 Kingston 667 1GB modules (but now I don't remember exactly what model they are), the problem was I don't know if they are single-sided or double-sided. Every module has 16 square chips (with 8 on each side). I've read many articles and after that I got total confused and now I can't tell exactly what type they are! Second, with these 3 modules, I've tried installing them on my GIGABYTE GA-EP31-DS3L, the mainboard's specification tells that it can handle up to 4GB of RAM (run on Dual-Channel mode), it also tells that "Do not populate both slots on the same channel with two double sided modules to prevent system's failure to boot or incorrect detection of capacity" (yeah, like that). I put 2 of them on the same channel, there's no problem, however when adding the third one to the other channel (that mean I populated slot 1, 2 and 3 with all same-brand modules), the POST (Power on Self-Test) said that there were only 2048MB of system memory, and the boot progress stopped at POST screen. What's wrong with it? Does that mean I could only use 2 (or 4) module at the same time? Final, is it POSSIBLE to install 2 x 2GB memory (the board supports up to 4GB, but provides 4 memory slots, does this mean one slot can handle only 1GB at most?(!) I'm considering of upgrading my memory to 4GB, then using 2 x 2GB is certainly much a better idea in this case. Any idea is appreciated! Thanks! :)
6th grade math.. im so confused ok .. here it is?
enable's think of roughly this: a million/6 like math, 4/6 (comparable to 2/3, replaced to a straight forward denominator) cherished reading. That bills for 5/6. meaning that 12 is the different a million/6 (because of the fact there should be 6/6 in all). So if a million/6 is 12, 4/6 should be 40 8 (4 circumstances 12), and the different a million/6 is yet another 12. So the great polled could have been seventy two. i'm something yet a math whiz, so I stand to be corrected. Can all and sundry verify my calculations?
