Brain Teaser

Brain Teaser!
 
Hi all! Are you ready for a brain teaser?


Here we go!

Three friends went to a restaurant for dinner.

The bill came to $15. They splitted the bill equally to $5 each.

Later,due to a calculation mistake, the waiter gave them $5 back.

From the $5, each of them took $1 back and they tipped the waiter the remaining $2.

As a result, they paid $4 each for their meal and $2 in tips.

The total amount paid is only $14.

Where is the remaining $1?

Good Luck!

Geometry Question

Tricky Geometry Question

This question is much harder than the questions that you might normally encounter in IB Math, Math A, Math B, Math C, SAT Math.

Nevertheless, when you see the answer, you’ll discover that the question is not hard at all.

Your ability to solve this question depends on the amount of practice you have put in.

If you are unable to solve this question within 15 minutes, I would suggest that you spend more time practicing.

How to Study Efficiently

How to Study Efficiently

All of us want to be successful and pass our exams with good grades. Nevertheless, we need to take the necessary actions in order to succeed. Even though you read and revise your textbook, do your homework and prepare for your exams diligently, you still can’t get the grades that you want. This might indicate that you are doing something wrong somewhere or the study techniques you use are inadequate. Everybody may have a different learning style but there are some common tips. Let’s look at them together.

1)       After school, please REST! How long? Around an hour will do the trick. You can eat/drink or spend some time in front of the TV or computer (social websites like Facebook can be too attractive but you need to resist the temptation and at the end of the 1 hour period, shut the computer!). Don't pile up on carbohydrate before studying because this might impact your performance negatively.

2)     Where should you study? You need to study on a proper study table NOT on a sofa, bed or floor. The wrong location will decrease your performance and also make you sleepy easily especially after long day at school. Make sure your study table has enough space for all your books. Remove all unnecessary materials that clutter up your desk as they will easily distract you and ruin your concentration.

3)     You need to use your time properly. You can have 5-10 minutes breaks every 45 minutes. (Again, make sure your breaks are not longer than 10 minutes)

4)     You can use a small notebook to note your homework and exam dates and; details. Then you do not need to worry about them.

5)     Force yourself to start studying the subjects which you have less confidence in. 

6)     You should divide your studies every day. Do your homework every day. Please don’t try to finish it on at the very last day! Procrastination is not an option!

7)     Repeat what you have learnt at school every day.

8)     Look at the next day's subjects before SLEEPING.
