چکیده

We investigate a coin-weighing puzzle that appeared in the all-Russian Mathematics Olympiad in 2000. The methods of analysis differ from classical coin-weighing puzzles. We generalize the puzzle by varying the number of participating coins, and deduce a complete solution. Perhaps surprisingly, the objective can be achieved in no more than two weighings regardless of the number of coins involved.

Baron Munchhausen's lung function expertise

A young anorectic woman suffering from asthma since her early childhood exacerbated without obvious cause and did not respond to treatment. Body plethysmography showed an isolated huge increase of the expiratory resistance. During inspiration, resistance was not elevated. However, in 1 out of 3 successive manoeuvres, expiratory resistance was completely normal. We believe this to be a Munchhaus...

Galactic Globular Clusters as a test for Very Low - Mass stellar models

We make use of the Next Generation model atmospheres by Allard et al. (1997) and Hauschildt, Allard & Baron (1999) to compute theoretical models for low and very low-mass stars for selected metallicities in the range Z= 0.0002 to 0.002. On this basis, we present theoretical predictions covering the sequence of H-burning stars as observed in galactic globulars from the faint end of the Main Sequ...
