A harder problem...one for GoT

[GuyOnTilt]

Okay, here's my answers assuming that Q10 can have 2 answers. HOWEVER, I think Q8 is flawed. But assuming I ignore that and pretend it's not, here's my answers:

<font color="white">1: 0
2: 2
3: False
4: 2
5: False
6: 0
7: False
8: 0*
9: True
10: True, -4

*The answer to #1 has to be zero or infinity, and for the sake of this quizlet, it's not going to be infinity. So #1 equals zero, and also has to be the square of #8, which states "What is the answer to question 1 divided by the answer to question 8?" This would mean that the answer to #8 also has to be zero, HOWEVER if #8 did equal zero, then that would mean the answer to #8 would be zero divided by zero, which has no solution. Therefore, the question is flawed.

I think...

Edit: I guess #1 could also be 1/infinity or -1/infinity... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]</font>

Edit: Just got a from the giver of the quiz saying my answer to Q1 is wrong, so I guess there goes that! Back to the drawing board!

what is your logic? that the answer to 1 is infinity? i don't buy it.

Perhaps the wording of question one is a little confusing. A hint: answer to question 1 = answer to question 1 + sum(answers to all other numerical answers in quiz). Hope that makes things slightly more clear. In other words, Q1 does not have to be 0.

That would make the answer to Q1 wrong though... It either has to be 0, inifinity, 1/infinity, or -1/infinity... If none of those are the answer, then could you reword the question correctly???

yea number 1 must be zero, you're right.

(Answers deleted) Nevermind. I screwed up.

[daryn]

i'm with GOT here. as the question stands, the answer can't be a non-zero integer.

[GuyOnTilt]

Your answers to 1 and 4 are definitely wrong, which just screws up the rest.

Alright if sum of answers to all other questions = 0 could the answer to Q1 be say 5 (5 = 5+0)? Although the question could be read as a re-occuring sequence it's not suppose to be.

as the question stands, the answer can't be a non-zero integer.

Agreed. And since it can't be zero either, since that would make Q8 unanswerable, it has to be a non-integer solution as worded.
