II4 - Literature 

The Devil, we're told, in hell was chained,

And a thousand years he there remained,

And he never complained, nor did he groan,

But determined to start a hell of his own

Where he could torment the souls of men

Without being chained to a prison pen.



So he asked the Lord if he had on hand

Anything left when He made the land."
Well it happened that the Lord did have plenty on hand but he told the devil that "the stuff is so poor, I don't think you could use it in hell any more." 

But the devil went down to look at the truck,

And said if it came as a gift, he was stuck;

For after examining it careful and well

He concluded the place was too dry for hell.

So in order to get it off his hands

God promised the devil to water the lands.
Where was this God forsaken place?

Song Lyrics: 

        Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean

        The unborn grass lies waiting

        For its coat to turn to green
Who or what? 

        Speaks to me of flowers

        That will bloom again in spring

        

        When I was young my heart was young then too

        Anything that it would tell me

        That's the thing that I would do

        But now I feel such emptiness within

        For the thing that I want most in life's

        The thing that I can't win

A popular song:

      When you arouse a need in me

      My heart says, "Yes, Indeed" in me

      Proceed with what you're leading me to

      It's such an ancient pitch

      But one that I'd never switch

      For there's no nicer _________  than you.
Fill in the blank (one word). 

      I've got no defense for it

      The heat is too intense for it

      What good would common sense for it do?

        From my youth upwards 

        My spirit walk'd not with the souls of men,  

        Nor look'd upon the earth with human eyes; 

        The thirst of their ambition was not mine; 

        The aim of their existence was not mine; 

        My joys, my griefs, my passions, and my powers, 

        Made me a stranger; though I wore the form,    

        I had no sympathy with breathing flesh, 

        Nor midst the creatures of clay that girded me 

        Was there but one who- but of her anon. 

        I said with men, and with the thoughts of men, 

        I held but slight communion; but instead, 

        My joy was in the Wilderness, to breathe

        The difficult air of the iced mountain's top,

        Where the birds dare not build, nor insect's wing 

        Flit o'er the herbless granite; or to plunge 

        Into the torrent, and to roll along 

        On the swift whirl of the new breaking wave 

        Of river-stream, or ocean, in their flow. 

        In these my early strength exulted; or 

        To follow through the night the moving moon, 

        The stars and their development, or catch 

        The dazzling lightnings till my eyes grew dim; 

        Or to look, list'ning, on the scatter'd leaves,

        While Autumn winds were at their evening song. 

        These were my pastimes, and to be alone; 

        For if the beings, of whom I was one,-

        Hating to be so,- cross'd me in my path, 

        I felt myself degraded back to them,

        And was all clay again.

Many people are not really proficient in math and physics. That may explain why people have been known to celebrate special occasions by firing guns into the air. Suppose a soldier, in celebrating the end of a war, fires his rifle straight up into the air, not realizing that a bullet shot straight up will come straight down and will be traveling at about the same velocity when it returns as when it left the barrel of the gun. Suppose the muzzle velocity of the bullet is 400 feet per second. The distance in feet, s, a body will fall from rest in t seconds is given by the formula s=16*t*t. If the soldier does not move, what is his life expectancy? What will be the maximum height reached by the bullet? Ignore the air resistance in your calculations.

A man buys a string 25,000 miles long and sets out to stretch it around the circumference of the earth. When he reaches his starting point, he discovers that the string is, in fact, 25000 miles and one yard long. Rather than cut the string, he decides to tie the ends together and distribute the extra 36 inches evenly around the entire circumference. How far does the string stand out from the earth because of the extra yard? (Disregard the length of the string used to tie the knot. And, yes, you can assume that the circumference of the earth is exactly 25,000 miles.)

        Straight overhead the orb of noon

        Beat down with brimstone breath:

        The desert wind from south and west 

        Was blistering flame and death.

    

        ..............................

 

        We feasted high there

        And had much milk and meat.

        The tables groaned to give us power

        Wherewith to save the wheat.

        Our beds were sweet alfalfa hay

        Within the barn-loft wide.

        The loft doors opened out upon

        The endless wheat-field tide.

 

        I loved to watch the windmills spin

        And watch that big moon rise.

        I dreamed and dreamed with lids half-shut,

        The moonlight in my eyes.

 

        For all men dream there

        By noonday and by night,

        By sunrise yellow, red and wild,

        And moonrise wild and white.

     

        The wind would drive the glittering clouds,

        The cottonwoods would croon,

        And past the sheaves and through the leaves

        Came whispers from the moon.

On New Year's morning, January 1, 2000, I received a phone call from a local businessman. He said that his computer failed to recognize the year 2000 and as a result the scheduling program on which his business depended gave incorrect calendar pages and was therefore useless. I explained that if he set the year properly in the twentieth century, his calendar pages would be correct though the year would be wrong. He said that this solution would work fine because he could simply instruct his employees to ignore the year. I then told him the latest year in the twentieth century which he could use. Fortunately his computer accepted that year and he was able to continue using the computer and the program. What year did I tell him to use and what are the three latest years before that one that had the same calendar pages?

When I was growing up on a farm in Kentucky in the 1960s we had several dairy cattle including holsteins, jerseys, guernseys and a brown swiss. Sometimes when we would return to the house from milking the cows in the morning my dad would place a phone call to a local technician. Later that day or the next day the man called would arrive in our driveway in a white truck with an enclosed bed and the letters "KABA" on the doors. He would get out and he and my dad would examine a catalog the technician brought. Afterward he would open a stainless steel container in the back of the truck and a fog of evaporating liquid nitrogen would emerge. The technician would then remove a labeled strawlike glass tube containing a milky looking frozen liquid. My dad would write a payment check and give it to the technician and we would go into the barn to take delivery of the product purchased. What was my dad purchasing? (Not necessary for credit, but do you know, or can you guess, what the letters, "KABA" meant?)

Steve takes three identical blank cards. He makes a red mark on each side of one. He makes a black mark on each side of another. On the third he marks red on one side and black on the other. He then mixes the cards in a hat and has Joe draw a card and place it on the table in such a way that no one sees the bottom side of the card. The upper side of the card drawn has a red mark. Steve says to Joe, "Obviously we are not dealing with the black-black card. That one is clearly still in the hat. We definitely have either the red-black card or the red-red card. We shuffled fairly and drew at random, so it is just as likely to be one of these as the other. I will therefore bet you even money that the other side is red." Should Joe take this bet?

For the first half of the journey (i.e. half the distance) you drive at 20 miles per hour. You then realise that this is all taking much too long, and that you are going to be late. You therefore decide that you will increase your speed so that your overall average speed for the whole journey will be 40 miles per hour.

There are no tricks - this is a straight forward problem. This is supposed to be one of the questions which potential Microsoft employees are asked.

U2 have a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight.

A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party that crosses the bridge, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be carried back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:

* Bono: - 1 minute to cross
* Edge: - 2 minutes to cross
* Adam: - 5 minutes to cross
* Larry: - 10 minutes to cross


For example: if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed by the time they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.

Before becoming isolationist in the 15th century, China was a seafaring nation. The head of the Chinese armada of treasure ships was a Muslim, a eunuch and a warrior. He vastly outdid his approximate contemporaries, the Western naval heroes who helped define the global Age of Exploration. His armada of giant junks was several times bigger than any of the fleets Columbus commanded nearly a century later. And his ships were five times longer than those of the celebrated Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama. With more than 300 oceangoing vessels and a crew of nearly 30,000 men, He helped transform China into the region's, and perhaps the world's, 15th century superpower. He exacted tribute, brought Sultans to their knees and opened up trade routes that helped develop the enduring taste abroad for Chinese porcelain and silk.
Born in 1371, He died in 1433. Between 1405 and his death in 1433 during six major voyages, He and his men found the:
ostrich in Oman,
the giraffe in Kenya,
the Tooth of the Buddha in Sri Lanka,
the Rhinoceros in Sumatra,
the riding elephant in Java,
and the water buffalo in Viet Nam.

In September I planned to sell 200 calves in November. I estimated that the calves would average weighing 750 pounds each at sale time. To hedge my sale price I paid $725 for two puts for November at 94 cents per pound. The puts mature on November 20. I sold the calves in late October for 96 cents per pound. On November 20 the published feeder cattle price was $1.02 per pound. How much money did I make or lose on the two puts? If I had fully hedged all my calves, how much would I have made or lost on the puts?
