Comment on Wall Street Interview Questions by Karaki

you are right about the fist one, it is simply 72/log2(10) rounded up. Your approach for the second is the long and tedious way and doesn’t lead you to a closed form answer. You can get a number if you solve it by induction. Basically if you are at n, there are only 2 ways you could have gotten here, by taking +2 step from n-2 or by taking -1 from n+1 so you can say p(n)= pr*p(n-2)+pl*p(n+1). This is a difference equation that you can solve easily. it has a solution of the form c^n. You replace in equation and solve for c and then use boundary conditions to get the final answer.

Before leaving, i’ll write the answer to the frog questions:
pr = prob of moving right
pl = prob of moving left

for i integer. When k = 3i
p_(3i) = (3i)choose(i) pr^i pl^2i
otherwise p_k = 0

Solving the y= 2^x = e^(x ln 2).
1og10(y)+1 will give you number of digits in y.

log10(y) = x ln2/ln10 = x log10(2) ~ 0.3 x.

=> # of digits = 0.3*71 + 1 = 22.

Comment on Do you want to see Jerusalem destroyed in a movie? by O.K

O.K — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:45:40 +0000

I find the question quite irrelevant:) and actually very badly phrased, I mean is Jerusalem a monument?:D

what about a buddist temple? a synagoge?

At the end a disaster is not portrayed by bldgs but by the loss that the people are facing, if the movie will try to portray a balanced view and show all bldgs collapsing that have a lot of value to people from all backgrounds, it will be a documentary of bldgs falling down,lol!

At least the white house is relevant bcz its a symbol of the highest power in the world now, where all chess pieces are being moved from. Its collapse signifies how ephemeral our world is including it

Comment on The One Spot that will not be destroyed in “2012″ movie by kinzi

I saw your post and it has been a thought in the back of my mind for some time.

I am all for artistic expression, but don’t like images of sacred sites being destroyed. Heck, I didn’t even like seeing the White House destroyed in Independence Day, and it is not sacred, by symbolic.

I read that the statue of Christ will be destroyed, and although He is not increased or diminished by a statue, I think it is unnecessary.

The whole ‘let’s not provoke the Muslims because they may kill someone’ is a slam to Muslims. It creates resentment from non-Muslims too, which is not good for perceptions of Islam.

As a Christian, it makes me wonder if the only way our things held sacred would be respected is to make such threats too. Do only threats of violence earn respect? Or is fear-based respect so rooted in resentment it will only blow up in violence itself some day?

It also makes me a little crazy that a certain segment of media assumes anyone who believes their faith is true is an extremist.

Sadly, our extremists have begun to define us, and it really is time we go the extra mile to put a lid on them.
