DIEGO
Minoldo Gramajo Gonzalez .
After finishing my morning classes, I walked hurriedly towards the staff room for lunch, when I saw in the hallway. I expected lying over the railing. Being close he came to me and said:
_ Teacher: I said if I bring some chocolates, you give me some points.
I looked surprised and the first intention was to ask who had told such a thing, but I did and said
_ Ah! You want points in math to pass the course in this period.
_ Yes _Me said.
For a moment I thought to take coordination to report it, but was a good boy, though a bit naive and I decided to give me time to decide what to do.
Diego, for the best talk I proposed this time tomorrow, because today I have hunger and want to go to lunch.
_ Okay, I'll look tomorrow at this time.
The next day there was time. not wait to talk to me I said
_ You want points, right?
_ Yes
_ Why?
_ is to go a little wrong with Matt and I are going to end the quarter and would be better.
understand, only we'll do it my way, because I am the Professor of Mathematics. You want points, I'm willing to give 70 points full area, but that if shhhht! (I said putting the index on the lips).
_ Do not worry Professor _Dijo a smile.
I took a calendar on the wall of such large numbers that are in banks and spoke thus:
_ September and you will start I will for the first day of an ounce of chocolate _le said pointing to the numeral 1_ day two will give me twice, or two grams, three twice previous day and so on until the end of the month. All this notes on a calendar and when you have all the sums he has given me the sum. This will give the number of grams of chocolate for me. " To convert to chocolates, divide this number by the grams in a chocolate and brings me.
teacher in a box?
course and with his bow _le said. Note _le indicated to make sure comprendiera_: The one: one gram, the two: two grams, three, four grams, the four: Eight grams, five: 16 grams
He left happy and I returned to my lunch.
took three days and gave no sign. the fourth I called:
Diego _le dije_ are my chocolates?
_ Ahhh! _ Profe dijo_ me ... if they are bastantitos thousand ...
_ Come, bring paper, pencil and calculator, let's calculate.
I took the calendar and put it on a desk, I pointed and said,
_ On day one, a gram is not it, .. the two , twice ...
_ What a day to day?
_ the amount is doubled.
_ This is expressed mathematically: t n = 2 n-1 where n is the number of days. September has 30 days, so the last two days should be allocated
_ Yes
_ The sum of thirty days is S n = 2 30 - 1, which gives us S n = 1073741823 grams of chocolate. How many grams of chocolate is thought to bring me?
_ 40.
_ Good: (1 073 741 823) / 40 = 26,843,545. 58 chocolates.
_ How much does your factory produce one of those chocolates?
_ Maybe a quetzal.
_ Well, then we would approximately 27 million quetzales.
_ How many newspapers can produce the chocolate factory?
_ Maybe ... 50 000 chocolates.
_ Well, if in a day are 50 000, to produce my chocolates 536.87 would be needed, working six days a week, it takes 89.5 weeks and if we do a year, equivalent to 52 weeks, it will take 1.72 years to make my chocolates.
_ You gave me a gift box, right?
_ Assume a chocolate has dimensions of 5 cm * 10cm * 0.5cm and whether it translates to cubic meters, gives approximately 671 m
_ What do you think?
only smiles.
_ not calculate the crest, it must go back to school, but I think you learned four things:
Do indecent proposals (in reference a film mode).
not accept deals that do not know that it will go.
learned math, that's why I'm here.
it remains only to consider whether it wants to win the course.
Since that time again not to lose a test and although it was a brilliant student, always got the grades needed to pass. In college, they say that doing well.
