引子
发出"周末一题: '温一碗酒-十一文铜钱的故事'"之后, 本客收到两个博友的回复, 当时戏答如下:
"只记得孔乙己排出九文大钱、穿长衫站着喝酒。"-原竹蕈
写于"一九一九年三月"(按鲁迅自己附记里说, 实际成于一九一八年冬)的"孔乙己"里说, "每花四文铜钱,买一碗酒"(但又补充道, "这是二十多年前的事,现在每碗要涨到十文"), 倘肯多花一文,便可以买一碟盐煮笋,或者茴香豆,做下酒物了".
所以当年孔乙己的"温两碗酒,要一碟茴香豆", 花的是九文钱("排出九文大钱").
"每碗要涨到十文", 加一文正是十一文, 切行者说的11位二进制数字:)
一百年前, 是一九零九年, 鲁老爷子说的"二十多年前的事"-当是一八九八年前后, 离今天约是一百一十年. 所以行者玩虚, 算个平均, 切2009这个数字, 呵呵.
总而言之, 前面是引子, 为的是引出那道题...
"酒涨价,下酒的小菜也应该涨价才对呀,那就是排出12文大钱啦,所以11位二进制的数字被推翻了,哈哈,不用做了!" - 阳光灿烂的日子
呵呵, 本来主要卖的是酒, 下酒的小菜是半送的啦:)
周末一题: 科学博物馆里的思考
上次参观加州科学博物馆(CAS)后觉得, 有不少值得介绍的地方. 可惜现在没有时间.
既然hanxin还记得"周末一题", 本客就把话题接到这"博物馆"-有两处印象挺深, 正好可以作为一些问题提出来, 呵呵.
一是Foucault pendulum, 再是Chameleon.
Foucault pendulum
Chameleon(点击看大图)
现在有两个问题: 大家可以择一回答.
1. 这Foucault pendulum是干什么用的, 原理是什么?
2. Chameleon问题
A lots of tourists gathered to watch a chameleon.
The chameleon catches small dragonflies and rests after each catch.
One of the tourists noticed that:
(a) The first dragonfly is caught after a resting period of 1 minute.
(b) The resting period before the 2mth dragonfly is caught is the same as the resting period before catching the mth dragonfly and 1 minute shorter than the resting period before the (2m+1)st dragonfly.
(c) When the chameleon stops resting, he catches a dragonfly instantly.
Question:
(A) How many dragonflies were caught by the chameleon before his first resting period of 9 consecutive minutes?
(B) After how many minutes will the chameleon catch his 98th dragonfly?
Bonus: this is a plus but you can skip it if any
(C) How many dragonflies have been caught by the chameleon after 2009 minutes have passed?
