What a timing :-D

Both posted at the same time! :lol:

laxieqv · Answer

YEAH, IT IS

Btw, congrat to you on becoming a CEO~!!!!! :beer

I still have 70 posts to go till then :computer

karlfurt · Answer

Thanks for it!
I had started as you've done, but then I stopped because I had more unknown variables than equations. I didn't think to consider R+T.
But now it is obvious, like usually when I see the answer....

vivek123 · Answer

Yeah, I'm a CEO now :beer

(wish to see the same in reality sometime in life

). I'm waiting for you to become CEO now! :-D

laxieqv · Answer

is it that i have to reach 1600 posts in order to become a CEO?! buddy, i think you can also become a CEO in reality

..but is it feasible for a girl/ woman to be a CEO?!! ...hik, it must be harder coz she has to struggle to balance between family and career ( I am wondering regarding myself :razz:

)

HIMALAYA · Answer

Congrats you both on becomming CEOs. :beer

vivek123 · Answer

Yeah, you have to complete 1600 posts!

Come on Laxie, you can't give up like this. You will become a CEO one day, there are very few women who think beyond conventional things. You have to become a CEO one day! Like HP's Carly Fiorina!

Himalaya, thanks for the wishes buddy!

laxieqv · Answer

Becoming a CEO does sound very interesting!

. Indeed, I prefer being behind a successful man to support him to the possibly highest status :wink:

. Thank you anyway, buddy

Congraats Vivek! More important than the number (1600+) what I like about you (for that matter Laxie, HIMALAYA, Paul, Matt....) is how you have achieved this feat - by helping lost souls, by taking the time to explain your answers, by posting the questions that you think will help others.... Those are the qualities of NICE GUYS.. And NICE GUYS/GALS (Laxie will thrash me here if I don't include GALS) always finish first. Here is an article from Yahoo finance: https://finance.yahoo.com/columnist/article/leadership/2513 Wish you a great luck to be a CEO some day!... Laxie! The world has definitely moved forward from the gender bais. You could definitely be a CEO some day! For both of you: Don't forget me though :wink:

If you ever need a mind for Hardware/Chip Design, feel free to contact me..

laxieqv · Answer

Giddi buddy, welcome you back sometimes

. I really appreciate all your encouragement!! Thank you so much for that!!

. It's over midnight here, I can't help feeling some touched as I recall all those great moments i've spent here with these great people/ friends. I also heartfully wish all of us getting into good b-schools, gaining sufficient knowledge and (possibly) cooperating with e/other in career path someday

.... Now that this place is in heart, not only in mind, I will never forget ....

Hey Girish, Thanks dude, looking at your hit ration, looks like you will be the one who will have to hire me :-D

It's nice to see you taking out some time from work. When is your D day? Cheers :beer

GMATT73 · Answer

Nice diagram Lax, but maybe it`s less confusing to use variables for the angles.

RQS/RSQ=Y
TUS/TSU=Z
QSU=X

Now using kindergarden geometry rules:

1. X+Y+Z= 180

and

2. (180-2Y) + (180-2Z) = 90 (Interior angle sum of a triangle, given the 90 deg measure in the figure)

Do the straightforward math from 2: 360-2Y-2Z= 90 ---> Z+Y= 135

Substitute into the first equation: X+135=180 ----> X= 45

Must admit, setting this up took longer than two minutes and I probably would have panicked on T-day and chosen (C) as an intuitive guess. 8-)

Buddy MATT, if there is some trap, then these inutitive guesses are not correct. I think the best approach to solve it upto a certain step then use intutive guess. Congratulations to vivek for his new Job :wink:

and Lexi for approaching her new assignment. :beer

old_dream_1976 · Answer

Critical observation is enough for this one.. Just pick any point S on RS. To satisfy i and ii statements you would have exactly 1 point each Q and U on RP and PT respectively . Now with S fixed you can have a unique set of points Q and P. So it should be possible to determine X in all scenarios using i and ii. If this were a PS I would have started sweating after 2 mins.
