I agree, although I have done it before. One way that we could make the situation a bit better could be to ask question-askers to show their approach to the problem.

It could simply be C(5, 3) as we are choosing 3 rods from the 5 total, therefore resulting in 10.

But, 6 of these will be degenerates (i.e. the sum of the 2 smaller legs is less than the bigger leg).

So, there are 4. Can someone verify this? :D

EDIT: Wrong Answer

1)

The growth is 982 - 487 = 495 mosquitoes everyday. I'm not sure if the growth rate keeps on increasing, because it assumes there is the same growth rate. Assuming that, 2) is impossible to answer as the growth rate will never grow itself :D

After 14 days, there will be 487 + 495 * 13 = 6922 mosquitoes.

2) Maybe it means not growing by, but growing up to. So, how many days will pass by until the population hits 15,000. Well, we can subtract 487 to get 14523, and divide that by 495 to get 29.3999, and rounded up to 30 days. :D

My ¢LORD that would be intriguing

Thank you!

Yes!

Yes, let's. Also, it's a FLYING cat so it goes WHEEEEEE in a straight line :D

Ooh, I've seen this one, it was on stack exchange! I don't want to just copy it from there though, so here's the link (very good hints):

Yay!!! Thank you!

A good question. I've been wondering the same :D
