sunrat Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 ^ That's pretty much on par with some of the questions I see on Quora. 1 1 Quote

Oh and that was a screenshot of a search I started. I knew it would autocomplete that as people are mostly brain-dead anyway. A buddy of mine at work was joking saying "what if the cure is corona beer and its really all an advertising ploy by Big Beer?" 1 Quote

sunrat Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Following my comment about Josh's Google search predictions, here are some current Quora questions waiting in my queue: How can computers and phones shut down and turn on again without the internet and still know the time? What JBL speaker is the loudest? Does the JBL speaker have a good life? Is 300, three times more than 100, or 2 times more than 100? What is something that only a person with an IQ of 100 could solve? Why are my Beats solo3 headphones so tight on my head? Will an MP4 player play MP3s? Do I need an amplifier for a home theater? Can you show that eight is half of thirteen? Why do you think that U2 should retire? Why is it not safe to eat an apple at breakfast? Do roadies really help rock stars get laid? Where can I get Ableton Live 10 for free? Can a MacBook survive a drop of 50 feet? My dad said he was going to grocery store, he hasn't been back yet. Where is he? That's just from my current feed. Some of the all-time classics are even more hilarious or just downright facepalm material. Edit, this one just popped up: Is it true that Windows is basically just a pretty Linux? 1 4 Quote

I enjoy answering some tech questions on Quara, but you are right. Over 90% of the questions are DUMB!!!! 1 Quote
sunrat Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Re that question "Can you show that eight is half of thirteen? " I don't know. Half of 13 is 7. I will award you one internet if you can explain the reasoning in that. Quote

sunrat Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Ok I left you in suspenders for long enough. 13/2 = 7 in base11. From the interwebz: Quote Base 11 system is a system of numbers formed by numbers from 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and A; that is eleven numbers. Base 10 in decimal is equal to A in Base 11. Base 11 in decimal is equal to 10 in base 11. Homework: 10/2 = ? in hexadecimal (base16) 12/2 = ? in base8 1D (base14) = ? in base10 Quote

zlim Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Think Roman numerals guys. Thirteen is XIII. Draw a horizontal line through that and erase the bottom part. You are left with VIII, which just happens to be 8. 2 1 1 1 Quote
securitybreach Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Ah, ok. I was wondering what you were referring to. Quote
