Here are the rules:

You're on a small plane that crashes on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. I know there are a lot of variables (wildlife, location, climate, etc.), but for this game, just pretend like you don't know any of that.

You're with a group, but you can only select TWO of the following occupations that you want to ensure is in the group. You can't make up your own.

Firefighter Chief

Army Major

Emergency Room Surgeon

Professional Hunter

Engineer (to design shelter, a boat, etc.)

Architect (to design shelter, etc.)

Celebrity (increase attention from media)

Botanist (plant scientists)

Park Ranger

Geographer

Professional Chef

Power Lifter (to lift stuff)

I'm a college student and interested in joining the Marines, and I talked on the phone to a recruiter the other day, who told me I'd be eligible for the Platoons Leader Class to be commissioned as an officer. However, after posting on here, there was basically a unanimous opinion that there was no way I'd be eligible for commission - let alone enlistment - with my tattoos.

I have 12 tattoos. Six (or seven depending on how low the collar goes) are visible in shorts and a T-shirt. Two are larger than my hand (one on my leg, and a half sleeve from my elbow to a few inches above my wrist on my right arm).

My question is, the recruiter asked me about these tattoos. I explained how many I had, how big they were, where they were - he was aware I had both forearms and both calves tattooed, and knew I had a half sleeve. If so, why did he still take down my information, talk to me about the options, explain that I'm eligible for the class, if there was no chance I'd be eligible because of my tattoos?

Also, are any branches more lax on tattoos than the Marines? And I know there's a lot of talk about loosening up about tattoo policies, but are the Marines involved in that? I know they typically do not have trouble meeting recruitment targets. And would the new policies allow me to enlist or be commissioned with my tattoos?

Thanks

1. Evaluate P(5,2) [answer is 20]

2. A card is picked from a standard deck of 52, and then a coin is flipped three times. How many possible outcomes are there? [Answer is 416]

3. A state makes license plates with four letters followed by one number with no repetitions of the letters permitted. How many different possibilities are there? [Answer is 3,588,000]

I just need to know how to go about finding these answers.

I have no experience in computer programming or any languages, but want to learn more and eventually create an app.

I know native IPhone apps use Objective C, but I also understand that's a pretty difficult language to learn.

I know other languages such as HTML5 might not be able to include certain features that Objective C could, but that's alright because the apps would not be very complex (would not need to access camera, etc.)., and that languages such as this are easier to learn, especially for a beginner.

My question: can you use HTML5 or a similar language to make an IPhone app? Or will you have to translate it to Objective C using phonegap or a similar tool. If so, would it be easier to simply learn Objective C, or another language and then translate it?

A baker will supply 27 jumbo cinnamon rolls to a cafe at a price of $4.18 each. If she is offered $3.73, then she will supply 3 fewer rolls to the cafe. The cafe's demand for jumbo cinnamon rolls is given by p = D(x) = -0.27x + 7.27. What is the equilibrium point?

A baker will supply 20 jumbo cinnamon rolls to a cafe at a price of $3.82 each. If she is offered $3.37, then she will supply 3 fewer rolls to the cafe. The cafe's demand for jumbo cinnamon rolls is given by p = D(x) = -0.85x + 10.82. What is the equilibrium point?

Can somebody show me how to go about solving this?

My friends and I are driving down to watch the Hot Dog Eating Contest.

We're coming from the New Haven, CT area via 95.

There are 40,000 people going to the contest, and it's the 4th. The site says to be there by 11:00 (starts at 12), and without traffic it takes just under two hours to get there. We're thinking that means to leave by 9:00, and we were thinking with traffic, we'd be okay if we left at 7:30.

Will we be okay? Or should we leave earlier?

I have a 2007 Mitsubishi galant with 90k miles.

I just got subwoofers, a stereo and an amp installed (by a reputable dealer), and since, there's been a hissing noise coming from behind the steering wheel (except when I brake or gas), there's sort of a pulsating rumble that you can hear from inside and outside the car, and it has died twice at stop signs (the power didn't go, but I had to move it to park and restart the car.

I have a few possibilities...

Besides "I Hit it First" by Ray J, what are some songs (preferably rap or hip-hop) that talk about girls coming back from more, doing it better than her current boyfriend, hitting it first, etc.

I'm looking for the cheapest I-Pod possible with at least 16 GB. I don't plan to use it for anything else, just to stay plugged into my car and play music.

I'm seeing iPod nanos, classic, shuffles, touches, etc. and all these generations of each. What's the cheapest one?

I'm in a rehab hospital and I'm getting out soon, and one of my nurses has a mother who is fighting breast cancer. She's been great to me and I wanted to get her a little something - can you think of any good gift ideas tying in her mother's condition?

A few days ago my Iphone started acting up. It won't deliever text messages. Then it will randomly get it later, usually 5 minutes or 18 minutes later. It doesn't show up as "now", it actually says "18m ago". Then the same person will text me and I'll get their message immediately.

Anybody else have this problem?

Quest'estate moltissimo mi sono divertito.

"mi sono divertito" and is labeled as a syntax/word order error.

Luglio facevo molto caldo.

"luglio" is circled with a syntax/word order error, and I am missing a pronoun at the end of the sentence after caldo.

I can't figure out what's wrong!

One of these pitchers would be either struggling to find a job or be stuggling to stay in the major leagues five years from now (which would be now, 2013), who would be the hardest to believe?
