AI Thread Summary
Adam will have a total of $5,000 after making annual deposits of $1,000 for five years, assuming there is no interest earned on the deposits. The calculation is straightforward: 5 years multiplied by $1,000 per year equals $5,000. The discussion highlights the importance of clearly stating questions for effective communication. There is no additional complexity since the interest rate is not provided. Therefore, the final amount remains $5,000 after five years.

IF the question is "How much money will there be after 5 years?" then, yes, after 5 years, putting in \$1000 each year with no interest, there will be 5x \$1000= \$5000.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
