Amazing Maths

Get this from a mailing list... enjoy...

Absolutely amazing!

Beauty of Math!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it? And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN,
look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones justthe way I did.
Have a nice day & God bless !!

The Eyeballing Games...

Just to know this interesting games from my friend's blog.

Its all about accuracy. How accurate can you to find the middle of the line segment, the center of the circle, and many more. Its pretty simple, just click, drag, release. The website will tell you how close are you the the exact answer. The lower your score (meaning smaller your answer deviate from the solution) the better you are.

Here are my score:
I'm one of those ordinary people ya?

How about you? Try for yourself here.

Barack Obama's Victory Speech

A Week as A Environmentalist

Hi All, now I'll shift a bit from the usual badminton topic to my past week activity. This week is the week for International Waste Congress organized by ISWA (International Solid Waste Management) with WMRAS (Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore). This event was held in Suntec City Convention Centre 3-6 Nov 2008.
Welcome reception was held @ Hortpark, Singapore's Gardening Hub. It was a great dinner under the starry sky.
On 5th and 6th, there is a parallel event held by NEA: Clean and Green Singapore, Schools' Carnival. This event basically comprises of booths showcasing the effort spent by various education institution start from primary, secondary, JC and ITE for being clean and green. It is very encouraging to see the future generation of Singapore speaking about 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling), alternative energy sources, and other nature loving activites. Below are the snapshots of the event.

Even Nokia will plant a tree under your name in Kalimantan if you recycle your handphone, any type, any brand.... battery also can..
Below are the showcase made 100% by recycled materials

This is my favourite
Today, I visited Pulau Semakau Landfill. I believe this is the only offshore landfill in the world made by closing the sea area between Pulau Semakau and Pulau Sakeng. This was done by building 7km perimeter sand bunk. For a landfill, I can say that this will be the most beautiful landfill in the world. The best thing is that, its odour free. This can be done since no food or other organic waste can be thrown in this landfill. Only ashes and waste that are non-incinerable (e.g. pvc pipe) can be dumped here. Below are few of the pics:
