I've been reading about intermittent fasting and 5-2 fasting, and I'm wondering if there's an advantage to eating 500-600 calories on "fast" days, which is what most of what the intermittent fasting plans suggest. Personally, I find it easier to abstain from food completely when I fast.

(I'm not interested in unsubstantiated opinions about whether or not people should be fasting in general.)

Thanks.

I've been subletting my co-op in New York since August 2010 while I travel. I have been using my parents' address, with the same zip code in New York, as my mailing address during that time period. I changed all official contact information that I could think of, including my drivers license, to my parents' address. I'm not sure what I'm best off putting down as my home address on my 1040.

If I use the address of my co-op, do I even need to address the sublet on the 1040? Would not doing so affect the status of the people who are subletting from me? Or would it be ill-advised to use that address at all, since I have been using my parents' address as my mailing address since August?

If I use my parents' address, will that affect their filing status? Can two people at the same address both file as "head of household"?

Thanks!

I own an apartment in a co-op in New York, and I sublet the apartment while I traveled for part of 2010. Am I considered a rental property owner for tax purposes?

Thanks!

Why has my cat decided that the best water source in the world is my wet legs after I've showered? As I stand there toweling off, he licks my calves. (He doesn't ever lick me otherwise, though he is very affectionate in general.)

Thanks!

I know that I can make ring tones for my Palm Centro with Minitones, but I can't figure out a way to store them (so that they're usable as ring tones) on my micro SD card. Is that possible? I'm trying to free up some of the internal memory.

If it's not possible with the ring tones, are there other things that I can safely move from the internal memory to the SD card?

I have a very poor understanding of how the Palm OS works, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Can somebody send me a Demonoid invite?

Thanks!

If somebody would email me a registration code for Demonoid.com, I'd be really grateful. Thanks!

A friend has told me that he is going to give me a fancy cell phone that he has no use for. It was purchased unlocked from a third-party vendor, but he does not know whether it is CDMA or GSM. I have two questions:

1. How can I determine whether it's CDMA or GSM?

2. Since it's unlocked, can I use it with any carrier regardless of whether it's CDMA or GSM? (My service is with Verizon Wireless.)

Thanks very much!

I'm having trouble with the following problem. If anybody can explain how to set up the quadratic, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

You are 5.5 feet tall and are shooting a free throw. The path of the ball is parabolic in shape and reaches its maximum height of 11.5 feet when the ball is 10 feet from you. Find the function for the path of the ball. Let x be the horixontal distance from you, and y be the height of the ball above the ground.

I'm trying to work out a formula for the sum of:

1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2+...+ n^2

so that I could input n and have the formula return the sum. I'm shooting blanks. Anybody have any ideas?

I'm making split pea soup in my crockpot. (Split peas, a bunch of veggies, water, and a ham hock.) I started it about 8 hours ago and I'd hoped it would be done by now, but I'm thinking I might have underestimated. Can I leave it on for a couple more hours and then have it switch to "warm" until I wake up in the morning? It will have been about 16-17 hours total. I don't know if bacteria can start to form, etc.

Thanks!

http://www.indepthinfo.com/probability-poker/royal... explains the common thinking on this question.

But...

To get a royal flush, you must first be dealt any one of 20 cards - the 10, J, Q, K, or A in any suit. The probability of that is 20/52.

You now have to be dealt cards in the suit that matches the card you have. So for your second card, there are only 4 out of 51 remaining cards in the deck that will help you. For your third card, there are only 3 out of the remaining 50 cards that will help you. For your fourth card, the probability drops to (2/49), and then 1/48. So the probability should be:

(20/52)(4/51)(3/50)(2/49)(1/48) = 1/649740

Multiply the number of outcomes by 4 and you have 1/2,598,960, which is the common answer, as well as what you would get if you used (5/52) in place of (20/52) when you multiply. But why can't you use 20/52 to calculate P(R.F.), since it doesn't matter what suit the first card is; that one just defines what the others need to be.

e^x - 3x^2 = 0

Solve for x.

(I know the answer, but am stuck on how to get there algebraically rather than graphically.)

Thanks!

The question is about 184 students taking an exam, mean = 72.3, standard deviation = 8.9

It asks how many students should receive a score 82-90. The answer states that 13.6%, or 25 students, should score 82-90. I don't understanding how we know that the scores between 82 and 90 constitute 13.6% of the scores. I know that 13.6% is the percentage of scores between the first and second standard deviation above the mean. But with the mean and SD given in the question, those scores should be between 81.2 and 90.1. Why do the scores between 82 and 80 also constitute 13.6%?
