18. In a 100m race, I run at a constant speed for the whole race. Usain runs at twice my speed for the first 50m but then slows to ΒΌ of his original speed for the remainder of the race. At what point do I catch up with Usain? 75m (see below)
19. What connects these pictures: Southpark characters - Kenny, Eric (Cartman), Kyle and Stan
20. Unscramble the two words : A A B B I M N N O R T BATMAN & ROBIN
21 Seol
Maths workings:
Terry catches up with Usain at a distance of 25m from the finish line.
Let Usain's and Terry's speeds be 'r' and 's' initially.
Then we have for the first 50m, Usain's speed = Twice Terry's's speed i.e., r = 2s.
After the 50m mark, Usain's speed = 1/4th his original speed = Half of Terry's speed
i.e., r = s/2.
Now let Usain and Terry meet at 'X' m from the start line, after a time 't'.
Time taken by Usain to cover 'X' m = Time taken by Terry to cover 'X' m
(since they meet after having covered X m.)
Time taken by Usain to cover 'X'm =
(Time taken by Usain to cover first 50 m) + (Time taken by Usain to cover the remaining 'X-50' m) =
(50/2s) + ((X-50)/(s/2))
(since Usain's speed is 2s for first 50m and then onwards s/2)
Time taken by Terry to cover 'X' m = (X/s)
(since Terry ran at the same speed s throughout)
Hence
(50/2s) + ((X-50)/(s/2)) = (X/s)
25/s + ((2X-100)/s) = X/s
(25+2X-100)/s = X/s
Hence X = 25+2X-100 i.e., X = 75m
Thus Usain and Terry meet at a distance of 75m from the start line.

I knew he's on a stamp but I didn't know the fact that he's the only living Swiss man to have received this honour. I suspect I just overlooked this question...if I had seen the word "Swiss" I'd have been thinking about this. Never mind.

11. What kind of 'cut' was closely associated with flapper girls in the Roaring Twenties? Bob cut
Mutter, mutter and I think I should get a point. To be precise, the Bob is what we call the cut today, but the question was what was it called in the Roaring Twenties...............
1920s: "The Shingle" haircut (above)
The "shingle" haircut, or as we know it today -- the classic bob. As skirt hemlines got shorter, so did ladies' haircuts. In the 1920s, a really short bob (especially at the back of the neck) with straight across-bangs that covered the ears was the "fashion-in" for ladies' hairstyles. In 2009, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham brought the bob back with a modern twist and many of us caught on. While some celebs proved that the bob is sleek and chic, it's a look that not everyone can pull off. Silent film star, Louise Brooks demonstrates the "shingle cut" above.
