Re: [Assam] MAYONNAISE JAR AND 2 CUPS OF COFFEE

Hi Umesh! I am glad you like my advice. But before you proceed I need to warn you. Did you realize my math had a bit of fallacy?. When I was thinking later I figured it out that my answer may be theoretical only. You may find more marbles than you can actually fill in the jar. If you think hard you could figure it out why. Or may be better you try and discover it yourself. I thought I will give you an advance warning so that you donot unnecessarily loose faith in physics.

Reminds me of physics lab where grade 11 students use screw gauge to measure diameter of steel balls etc.   Today, I saw a cartoon in the free Express magazine of Wash. post showing even in jails of US inmates play golf. Maybe becos they have so much land here.   Anyhow I saw golf clubs being sold cheap at a Salvataion Army thrift store. It seems even the poor play golf here, as you say. I did buy a nearly new, Korea made, colorful Hawaiin shirt there for $1.5 ( the cashier gave an immediate discount from 3 to 1.5 USD - on looking at my condition)   I did play golf on video games - though generally I was beaten by my landlord's then  6 year old son at Bhopal. I haven't played marbles for ages. Anyhow it is good idea. I think in India we play marbles outside the house.   Now the Mayonanaise jar - my NRI kid roommate does have one. He hardly eats food here so I would have to wait till it is empty and so then I can do the experiment. Maybe I should finish off the mayonnaise myself. I haven't seen him angry so far, that would add to the experience.   Thanks for the info.   Umesh   Barua25 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Umesh: First for Coffee: I am with Mukulda. Suggest you switch to Tea, may be black tea. It does not need creamer.  It is good for your health and for good Assam. (Tip: If you want to tell the story to some one change the coffee to tea.)   Regarding Golf: Do you know that USA is the only country in the world where a poor middle class guy can afford to play golf. In India one will have to be rich to play golf. But not in the USA. But I understand your situataion. You are not yet in the middle calss.  But be careful. Don't under estimate too much, a common fault of all Indians here so far as their wallet is concerened. (Moral: There are more poor men in this world than rich men compared to you.) Anyhow, knowing your situation, I suggest you play marble. It is better than golf because you can play indoor and these marbles are better than pebbles because they come in perfect round size. In fact if you know the volume of the jar (pi*radius* squared* h) and the volume of each marble (4/3*pi*radius*cubed), you can literally calculate how many marbles you need to buy (or borrow) to fill the jar by dividing the jar volume by the marble volume. Once you fill the jar, let me know how you feel. You should feel the difference, and can start a fuller life.

But I do not play golf neither do I have the money to do so - so how to go about it.   Can large stones be used instead of golf balls?  Sand is free ofcourse. as are the pebbles.   Umesh Barua25 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: While drinking coffee, may be you start pouring some coffee beans in the jar!
