Answer:
polio
Explanation:
Frida Kahlo caught polio in 1913, aged six, and had to spend several months in bed. The paralytic form of the disease was not badly disabling, however, it did have some unavoidable consequences – her right leg remained slightly deformed and shorter than her left leg so she had to wear built-up shoes
Answer:
Hilbert´s Hotel (by David Hilbert)
Explanation:
Imagine you are a foreign tourist that has just arrived to a town. In that town theres the<u> Hilbert´s Hotel</u>, internationally recognized for being the only hotel with <em>infinite rooms</em>. When you arrive to the lobby, you ask the manager to give you a room:
- Manager: "Im terribly sorry, but an infinite group of people has just arrived and all the rooms are full"
- You: "How is that possible? I thought you had infinite rooms
- Manager: "Indeed, but they are now full"
- You: "But that´s impossible... if there are infinite rooms they can´t all be full. I know there´s a way for me to get a room"
What would you do? You really need that room to spend the night...
NOTES: All the rooms are listed from one to infinity and only 1 person is able to stay per room.
SOLUTION
- You: "Look friend, all you have to do is tell the infinite group to move up one room, so the person staying the room 1 will move to the 2, the 2 to 3, the 3 to 4 and so on to infinity and i can take the room number 1. That way all the tourists, including me, would have a room."
EXTENSION OF THE PROBLEM
What would you do if two infinite groups of tourist´s arrives? How would you place them in the Hilbert hotel?
(hint: pair numbers are also infinite)
Significance of the problem
This particular problem is very interesting to me because it forces me to think out of the box something not only amusing but necessary to sort out day to day events.
Answer:
209 pounds is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to the provided information, Jessica's initial weight is 220 pounds, and she is expected to lose 22 pounds, which is the 10% of 220 pounds. The question mentions that she is right on track at the third month, which is also the half of the initial period (6 months); so, if everything is going how the plans say, her weight at that point is calculated by subtracting the 5% of the initial weight (220 pounds), which would be 11 pounds. So, 220-11 is 209.

Explanation:
Answer: Fruitless Mountain is the broken heart of Jade Dragon. Nothing grows or lives on the mountain; the land around it is hard and the water of the river is dark because Jade Dragon's sad spirit is still there.
Explanation:
The villagers called it Fruitless Mountain because nothing grew on it and birds and animals did not rest there. Crowded in the corner of where Fruitless Mountain and the Jade River met was a village that was a shade of faded brown. This was because the land around the village was hard and poor.
