Yeah, especially one who was bootless before the final equation.

There is no specified operator between the double shock absorbers.

I will elect to go with the dot.operator

That means 1 shock absorber is worth 2^0.5 = 1.414

So the answer is 19.14

That means 1 shock absorber is worth 2^-1 = 1.414

So the answer is 16.414

But there is no "dot.operator" either.
And 2^-1 is 0.5. (Assuming your symbol "^" means "to the power of"?

Are you intuitive?


1. The wind blows west. An electric train runs east. In which cardinal direction does the smoke from the locomotive blow?

2. Jack is looking at Anne but Anne is looking at George, Jack is married but George is not. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person? Yes, no, or cannot be determined?

3. If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

4. If you have only one match and you walk into a dark room where there is an oil lamp, a newspaper and wood — which thing would you light first?

5. A farmer had 15 sheep and all but 8 died. How many are left?

6. Emily’s father has three daughters. The first two are named April and May. What is the third daughter’s name?
