Life is never simple. Otherwise it will be very boring and monotonous. -

Vanilla Cake, thanks for your suggestions. THe best way to implement your suggestions is to make everyone to fill in a form when asking for an answer. While that is definitely ideal, it is not possible to do so as the forum software we have does not allow that. But we can consider doing that for the portal.... Hi Chief/Admin/Mods,
Is it possible to have a sticky thread in KSP forum to remind members who post questions for others to solve to have some sort of proper etiquette?
As a form of basic courtesy and appreciation for the time and effort by the online problem solving fraternity, it would be good if the thread starters for the questions can:
(1) Quote the source of their question/s.Schools/tuition centres/assessment books or others?
(2) Level for their questions - P5,P6 or others?
(3) Whether thread starters are parents or students? If they are parents then no need to have long-winded Maths explanations.
No offence to anyone as it is just my 2 cents thought.

Hi
I find it interesting, a question about life in a Maths thread.
Some live to its fullest, some stumble and fall. Many go through it without knowing its meaning. Well, what is life? I have no answer.
This catchy and entertaining Mongolian tune appeared from nowhere during a random search this morning.

While listening to this beautiful tune, you may want to read a speech from PM Lee.
Pursue dreams, but give back to society: PM

A passage from a speech by Dr Goh when he retired from politics in 1984
'You should regard the present condition of the Republic not as a pinnacle of achievement but as a base from which to scale new heights.'

First 100 odd numbers --->Will question like the following appear in PSLE? Could someone pls help to solve. Thank you.
Find the sum of the digits of the first 100 odd numbers. (Ans = 1000)
01,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19 (10 odd numbers)
21,.........31,..............39 (20 odd numbers)
41,.............51...........59 (30 odd numbers)
:
101
121
141
161
181...........................199 (100 odd numbers)
(1+3+5+7+9) = 25
1*5 + 25 = 30
2*5 + 25 = 35
3*5 + 25 = 40
:
:
:
9*5 + 25 = 70
1*5 + 0*5 + 25 =30
1*5 + 1*5 + 25 = 35
1*5 + 2*5 + 25 = 40
:
:
:
1*5 + 9*5 + 25 = 75
Total = 25 +(30 + 35 + .......+70 + 30 + 35 + ..+ 70)+75
= 25+75 + (450*2)
= 100 + 900
=1000 -

I'd like to find out if you are talking about the sum of these consecutive odd numbers like
1,3,5,7,9 ...............191,193,195,197,199
I am asking beacause your question shows sum of digits, like 8 is one digit and 88 is two digits.
Usually, the question is asked as
Find the sum of the first 100 odd numbers.
If this is the case, the answer is 10000.

I find this question funny as well, I think its asking about the digits...then it will become very tedious to work out, right? I think it won't come out in PSLE!
