Beauty of Mathematics

        1 x 8 + 1 = 9
        12 x 8 + 2 = 98
        123 x 8 + 3 = 987
        1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
        12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
        123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

        Brilliant, isn't it?

        And look at this symmetry:

        1 x 1 = 1
        11 x 11 = 121
        111 x 111 = 12321
        1111 x 1111 = 1234321
        11111 x 11111 = 123454321
        111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
        1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
        11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
        111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
        Now, take a look at this...

        101%  From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

        What Equals 100%?
        What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
        Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
        We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
        Can you ACHIEVE 101%?

        What equals 100% in life?
        Here's a little mathematical formula that might help  Answer these questions:

        If:
        The Alphabet A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
        Is represented as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

        Then:
        H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
        8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

        And:
        K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
        11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

        But:
        A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
        1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

        THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
        L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
        12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

        Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will Get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

        A Funny - A man uses math to make a point

        While driving to work yesterday I observed a female driver who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.  This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger.

        'Man, that guy is stupid,' I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why:

        I drive 48 miles each way every day to work.  That's 96 miles each day.

        Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to bumper.  Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway.

        There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles.  That works out to 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.

        Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars.
        That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day.

        Statistically, females drive half of these.  That's 18,000 women drivers!

        In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS.  That's 642.

        According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding.  That's 449.

        According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered homicide.  That's 98.

        And 34% describe men as their biggest problem.  That's 33.

        According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.

        That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

        Give her the finger?
        I don't think so.
        The Biggest Mathematical Miracle in the World!

        First of all, the children of Israel (perhaps 3 million of them) had to get across the Red Sea to leave Egypt. If they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35 days and nights to get across. So, there had to be a space in the Red Sea, three miles wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast to get over in one night.

        After Moses and the people got across the sea, they were in the desert, but what was he going to do with them? They had to be fed, and feeding 2 or 3 million people requires a lot of food. According to the Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1500 tons of food each day.

        Do you know that to bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each a mile long, would be required! Besides you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for one day. And just think, they were forty years in transit.

        And oh yes! They would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each day, and a freight train with tank cars, 1800 miles long, just to bring water!

        But then, there is another problem. Each time they camped at the end of the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles. Think of it! This much space just for nightly camping.

        Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt? I think not! You see, Moses believed in God. God took care of these things for him.

        Now, do you think God has any problem taking care of all your needs?

        May God Bless You And Keep You.
