  • Math problem, sum of multiples under a certain number?

    I want to sign up to a website but I have to complete a signup challenge that I invested a lot of time googling for help and scratching my head to solve it but I didn't find out how. I also have the formula (that I'll share it below) to solve the challenge and still couldn't understand how.

    Challenge:

    Find the sum of the multiples of 11 or 17 under 670

    For example, if we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.

    Formula:

    To find the sum of multiples of m (not 0) less or equal to n:

    Let c = n mod m

    S(m,n) = Sum for i=0 -> i=(n-c)/m of m*i

    S(m,n) = m * Sum for i=0 -> i=(n-c)/m of i

    S(m,n) = m * (n-c)/m * ((n-c)/m + 1) / 2

    S(m,n) = (n-c) * (n-c+m) / 2 / m

    We have now a formula to get the sum of the multiples.

    Now the final result is S(m1,n) + S(m2,n) - S(m3,n) where m3 is the lcm of m1 and m2.

  • iPhone 6 came with fake sim card?

    So i live in Lebanon and I bought an unlocked iphone 6 this week, and it's working very well. The only problem is that when i put out the sim card slot, i got a vodafone sim card inside and there even isn't vodafone in Lebanon. Also, when i was unboxing it, i noticed there was no sim card ejector as usual in the catalogue. I had to use the one i got with my old 4S. I called the guy and he told me that most of the phones are not coming without sim card ejectors, and when i asked him about the Vodafone card, he told me to just throw it away. What's going on here? Did he sell me a previously locked iphone but it was unlocked before they shipped it to Lebanon?

  • FIFA world cup 2014 game freezing?

    So my FIFA world cup 2014 game is freezing everytime, sometimes when i pause a game or even sometimes when i switch categories in the menu! I realized after the last update this problem started.

    I have a brand new PS3 super slim that i bought 2 months ago and the CD is very clean with no scratches at all.

    Is the problem coming from the game data? I was wondering if i should delete the game data file and reinstall the game and the updates again. Any suggestions?

    PS: i have never experienced freezing with any other game, only this one.

  • Should I sue my internet provider?

    Hi I live in Lebanon and I have a satellite connection at home.

    Every month I pay 48$ for a connection of 2 Mbps download.

    Usually everyday when I run speedtest, it used to be 1.5 Mbps download and 0.2 Mbps upload with 120 ping.

    When 2014 started, everyday in the afternoon speedtest gives me the following results (and i'm not even kidding you) 0.1 Mbps download, 0.07 Mbps upload and a ping between 3000 and 4000. Yesterday, my download AND upload speed was 0.00 Mbps, same thing today. The only time the connection is 1.5 download, 0.2 upload and 100-200 ping is between 2:00 AM and 8:00 AM. Every single day I call the provider and I ask him to get to the bottom of this because I can't play any online game, the connection is so slow that a 1 line message on whatsapp takes about 15 seconds to be sent and www.google.com takes MINUTES to open. When I try to download any file, the download speed is in BYTES per second. Today I called some friends that take internet from the same provider and they are experiencing the same problem although I always tell them to call him and complain but they just don't care or too lazy *facepalm*

    Anyways I know that the routers and servers used to provide the service may be overloaded or experiencing a technical issue that temporarily slows down the speeds provided by the Internet Service Provider but he doesn't have the right to give me such a connection if i'm paying 48$/month. What should I do? I'm thinking of suing him bcz he never fixes it.

  • Ps3 ylod for the 4th time?

    It's been since 2007 since I bought a ps3 and between 2007 and today, I changed 4 times my ps3, all 4 consoles had the ylod problem. The first one lasted from 2007 to 2009, second 2009-2011, 3rd 2011-2013, and 4th 2013-today. All these 4 ps3 I had were the fat 60 GB model. I used to overuse the first two I had, I used to leave them 24 hours per day turned on because of downloading big files on them. Then I was told that they overheat and that brings the ylod problem and the console dies. So I took care of my 3rd one better and it lasted ONLY 2 years. And now, my 4th one, I cam say that I only turn it on 1 hour per week, since Im not usually at home these days, and I barely used it, its not been even a year since I bought it, I woke up today, turned it on like I do everyday, inserted GTA 5, and there you go, THE YLOD!

    This is turning into some kind of a joke now, all my friends still have the fat ps3 that they bought in 2007, they are addicted to it and play every single day and it's running like a charm for them. If someone can give me a reasonable explanation to why this happens to me all the time, it's getting on my nerves. Ty

  • provider internet problem?

    2 years ago, I got internet from a provider and I subscribed to a high speed internet. I used to perform speed test and results used to be for ping: 110 and for download rate: 1.5 or 1.7 MBps. In late 2013, speed test started showing 0.7 MBps even sometimes 0.3 and even 0.1! And ping 450, sometimes 1k. I still pay for same speed for 2 years now. What do you think is the problem? I live in lebanon and that's nothing new if the guy is robbing me by giving me lower speed, because all people in this country are robbers..

  • New school. Please help me :(?

    Yesterday was my first day of school, and it's my last year then I will go to University if I pass. I live in Lebanon and I'm now in a new school, and it's a public school. Here in Lebanon, public schools are known to have bad people, uncivilized plus the teachers are not cool, they have the freedom to say to you bad words that can really hurt you. I mean I don't care what they say I know who I am, but for example yesterday I was writing something that the arabic teacher told us to write, and while I was writing he suddenly told me to repeat a paragraph. So we wrote 3 paragraphs and I asked him: sir which paragraph should I read? I start with the first? Then he shocked me by saying get up go to the corner sit on your knees and turn your head to the wall. I was like why I didn't do anything. Then he said you have only 1 minute to do that. So I just sat at my desk and didn't do it and I kept on writing, then he suddenly said to the class: What a weirdo he really seems to have a mental problem, go to a school that deals with mental problem kids. So i just waited to the bell and went to the principle and told him about him, so he called him and talked to him then he told me it's ok i spoke to him he won't do that again. Then the teacher came out of the principle's office and told me: Why did you do that i asked you to read and you kept silent and didn't read. I told him: You asked me to read something and i asked you which paragraph should i read shall i start with the first one? So you told me to go to the corner and sit on your knees THAT'S why i kept silent. But i don't care about that a lot, the only thing that hurt me is that you told me i have a mental problem. So after i told him that, he was silent because he knew he was wrong and left.

    To be honest i came from a school that it's teachers used to hit some students and some parents agreed with that, that's what pushed them to continue to do that. But i never was hit by no one. I don't accept that, and never will. I came from the other school to this public one to study, and not talk with anyone, not to make friends, because the people in this school here, are known in my area to be bad people, that's why most parents told my parents not to go to it and explained the reasons which are similar to above. My parents knew that, they didn't wanted me to go to this school, two weeks ago i was moving to Beirut (the capital) to go to a school there but after we heard on the news that the situation is critical there and some terrorists promised there would be a war and explosions there, and people started leaving Beirut, my parents decided that there is no other way to go then this public school that is near to me. They are disappointed as much as I am, but what else could we do? My mother told me not to talk to anybody and be like an angel in class to prevent problems. But to be honest i feel stressed, i never felt that way in my whole life. I wish i could have went to Beirut to a private school. I can't imagine how i will spend 8 to 9 months with these people in this school.

    I appreciate everyone's help. Thank you.

  • Problem with my ping?

    So i live in Lebanon and my internet download speed is around 30 kbps. Yes, it's very bad, and there is even worse, but i pay for like one of the fastest connections you can get here. Here if you subscribe to a DSL connection, your ping would be stable, doesn't matter what it will be but it will be stable. Last year i installed an internet connection from a provider, a guy that has a shop (not DSL ) and my ping during online games is like this: 110 - 200 - 80 - 1100 - 120 - 800 - 6000. My ping is Always jumping, while my friend's ping is always stable, which is 108. Every time i call the guy and tell him about this, he tells me that it's because of the large number of people using the internet at the moment, which are subscribed to his internet. Well that figures why at 5 am or so, my ping jumps between 80 and 110, and never goes up to 200 even. I would subscribe to a DSL connection but DSL connection in villages far from the city, are bad. Because if i get the internet that my friend has, which is 110 kbps ( which is very good here ) it will be 12 kbps here in the village and his ping which is 108, will be 350 here. i had DSL last year, and that was the case. thats why i changed, But it got worse. i mean, when i have to play online games, i have to wake up at 4 am in the morning? On his shop's brochure, it's written that he has 80 ping and 180 kbps. Should i sue him or what? i mean it's unacceptable i am paying 80$ per month for what??

    If any of you people were in my place, what would you have done? I really need help solving this.

    Thanks in advance

  • A question regarding Assassin's Creed 1 story?

    In the last sequence, sequence 7 of Assassin's Creed 1, during Altair's fight with Al Mualim, they were having a conversation:

    - Altaïr: "What you plan is no less an illusion. To force men to follow you against their will."

    - Al Mualim: "Is it any less real than the phantoms the Saracens and Crusaders follow now? Those craven gods who retreat from this world that men might slaughter one another in their names? 

    Ok so from what Al Mualim said, I never knew who were the Phantoms? In the game they were not given any importance. What are they? A creed? Were they real? What were their goals? Please if anyone can give me information about them.

  • Is there an age limit for football ( soccer )?

    Is there an age limit for playing soccer? For example if Ryan Giggs, Rivaldo or Zanetti want to play till they become 45, can they? Or for example if a National team want to call up a legend who is 52 years old for a friendly on their home field and bring him on the last 5 minutes to honour him ( which I dont think it will happen, but if ? ). There are players at that age who can still play for example the famous Uruguayan legend Enzo Francescoli played last year when he was 50 years old, a charity match which included legendary players and scored 4 goals including a bicycle kick from outside the box ( he was known for his bicycle kicks as he used to do them alot during his career and scored alot of goals like that ). So what do you guys think?
