Algorithm March

Have you heard of the Algorithm March? It's a dance fad from Japan that has spread around the world because of its funny nature. Here's the video.

New Books For My Collection

I'm excited! Just got me three new (meaning unread my me) books by author Len Deighton.

Just recently, I have acquired these two other books:

Guess I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty (literally) digging through books in used books stores.

Hope I get some free time to read these great books!

Easy Friday: Baby I'm-A Want You - Bread

From the album "Baby I'm-A Want You" (1971)

Intro: C#m7-Bm- (2x)

A
Baby I'm-a want you

Bm
Baby I'm-a need you

           C#m7                      D
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about.

Bm
Maybe I'm-a crazy

      E
But I just can't live without

     A
Your loving and affection

Bm
Giving me direction

       C#m7                                D
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour.

Bm
Lately I'm-a praying

            C#m7                  E
That you'll always be a-staying beside me

Chorus:

C#m7                                 Bm
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by

C#m7                                   Bm
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why


Adlib: A-Bm-C#m7-D-

Bm
Lately I'm-a praying
            E                    A
That you'll always be a-staying beside me

Chorus:

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by

Then you came around and made me laugh and made me cry

You taught me why...

Baby I'm-a want you


Baby I'm-a need you

Oh it took so long to find you baby

Baby I'm-a want you


Baby I'm-a need you... (fade)

Random Math Question

Sometimes, when there's no workload, you try to find something to do. Someone at the office forwarded an email asking to solve a word problem, so it got me going. The problem goes like:

'A man wanted to get into his work building, but he had forgotten his pin-code. However, he did remember five clues.
These are what those clues were:
The fifth number plus the third number equals 14.
The fourth number is one more than the second number. The first number is one less than twice the second number.
The second number plus the third number equals 10.
The sum of all five numbers is 30.
What were the five numbers and in what order?'

Wow. Equations. So I opened my trusty notepad, and start translating the word problem to equations.

e + c = 14 (1)
d = b + 1  (2)
a = 2b - 1 (3)
b + c = 10 (4)
a + b + c + d + e = 30 (5)

Looking at the equations above, the most common variable is b. So we try to express all of the equations in terms of b.

Using (1) and (4), we get (6)
b + c = 10 (4)
c = 10 - b (6)

e + c = 14 (1)
c = 14 - e

Since both are equal to c, we solve to get (7).
14 - e = 10 - b
14 - 10 = e - b
4 = e - b
e = b + 4 (7)

We now have all equations with a common variable, b. Let's solve for b.
Plug (2), (3), (6) and (7) into (5)
(2b - 1) + b + (10 - b) + (b + 1) + (b + 4) = 30
4b + 14 = 30
4b = 30 - 14
4b = 16
b = 4

Substituting b,
(3) a = 2(4) - 1 = 7
     b = 4
(6) c = 10 - 4 = 6
(2) d = 4 + 1 = 5
(7) e = 14 - 6 = 8

Check:
7 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 8 = 30
