You have your choice of riddles today, dear riddle friends.

This is just my way of wrapping up a very tough week! :)

Construct an open set O, that contains all the rational numbers in the segment [0,1], such that m(O) < 0.5, where m is the Lebesgue measure.

OR

Show a partition of the real line, into a set of measure zero, and a set of category 1.

OR

Let f be an analytic function, with an essential singularity. Show that the set of points in the complex plane, that are the image under f, of infinitely many points, is dense.

OR

Let f be an analytic function on the complex plane, that is also one to one. Show that f has the form "ax+b".

OR

Show that every polytope in Rn, has at least one extremal point.

OR

Show that every polytope in Rn that is not a single point, has at least two extremal points.

OR

Consider an Euclidean space with infinite dimension. How many balls with radius 1, can you fit into another ball of radius 2?

How about when the other ball's radius is 3?

OR

Show that every compact subset of a metric space is of no more than continuum cardinality.

OR

What kind of coat can be put on only when wet?

OR

Let K be a compact subset of the plane. can K be sliced using two straight lines, into four pieces that have the same Lebesgue measure?

OR

Does there exist a measurable space, such that the set of measurable subsets is infinite, yet countable?

OR

Show that for every Lebesgue measurable subset A of the line ith positive measure, there is a sequence X1...X1996 that satisfies:
Xi is in A for all i.
For some positive scalar r, Xi - Xi-1 = r (for all i).

OR

Find an (efficient) algorithm, which given a set of vectors in Rn spanning a lattice, finds a minimal (in size) set of vectors that span the same lattice.

OR

Let A be a finite set of real numbers. Show that there exists a non-zero integer n, such that each member of n·A has an integer within distance < 0.0001 from it.
 
Yesterday's:

You are walking through a field, and you find something to eat. It doesn't have bones, and it doesn't have meat. You pick it up and put it into your pocket. You take it home and put it on a shelf, but 3 day's later it walks away. What is it?

AN EGG
 
Lars!

Looks like you're due LPP this morning!

hee hee - didn't you vote YES for math riddles???? ;) :p :p
 
NO!! I have always and will always be completely against math riddles! :p :rolleyes: :p
 
LOL! Could you be just a little more clear on how you feel about them, Laura???? :p :p :p
 
If I have LPP & FP it can only mean one thing..................
Steph overslept!;) :p
 
Looks like UConn and Syracuse in one of the Big East semifinals!

Should be a GREAT game!

Good luck, spb! :)
 
Happy Friday:D
I don't even have time to READ this riddle!
Heading out the door for a 5 hour drive to Phlly.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I was at the Super Walmart here last night and they were selling UConn shirts in MI!
 
Have a GREAT visit with your DD, Sandi! :)

LOL, Lars! You've really got to learn to express yourself!!! LOL! LOL! :p :teeth: :teeth: :p
 
Good Morning, Riddler and Riddler Fans!

Is this a nonsensical, Seusical, whimsical, confusical riddle?????


........or is this just Bernie working in the fourth dimension??????


;) ;) ;) ;)

Happy Friday!

Why do I think this week went twice as long and twice as hard for some of us????

Here's to cheers and hoisting something vaguely liquid come 5pm tonight! :teeth:
 
No Orangemen shirts?

Well.....that's hardly a SUperstore then!!! :mad: ;) :p

Riddle looks somewhat "foreign" to me today, but I did find ONE in there I could answer!:p

Yesterday's answer was one I thought it might be, but never got around to answering it. A VERY BUSY week around here with DSM in the hospital and lots of things coming due on the house.

U of M is out of the running for the NCAA, so I don't have to think about that!

Have a good visit, Sandy.
