Si une dame a tue son amant, est puis elle a dit au police, "Oui - Je l'ai fait', est-ce que c'est possible qu'elle sera en prison en deux mois?

Je suis Anglais, pardonnez ma grammaire.

There are 2 rabbits, they fall in love, and have six baby rabbits, who grow up fall in love and each couple has 6 rabbits. So, there are 18 'grand baby rabbits' who in turn grow up and mate, each couple producing 6 rabbits.

Meanwhile, the original couple are still in love and produce another 6 rabbits and they, in their turn produce babies.

Now, assuming this goes on for a year, and the gap between being born and giving birth is 6 weeks, how many rabbits will there be? (Please ignore the problems of incest and family quarrels. This is just a stats problem.)

The simple geometric progression to a factor of 3 is easy, but I cannot get my tired old brain around the numbers which take in to account the fact that rabbits breed more than once.

Can anybody help with either the calculation, or even better, a formula to apply

Every time I switch the damn thing on it prints out an 'ink-heavy' test page, and as these inks are not cheap, (a cynic may say unnecessarily expensive, but God preserve me from cynicism) and I cannot stop it.

Anybody know how?

PS I have emailed Epson four time on the matter. . . .I yet to have a response.

Thanks.

My grand-daughter has been staying with me and used my internet connection to chat to her friends.

I find that her friends are constantly sending her invitations to porno websites. I guess it's not really them but trojans thay have picked up.

Anyway I want to delete MSNMessenger completely but when I go to control panel/add/delete programs the messenger program doesn't come up. Can anyone help? Thanks

I have a Samsung X20 running windows xp.

I am trying to download, from the Microsoft website, a trial version of Office. I have the .exe file on my hard drive, but it will not, despite hours of trying, load up. I get the message that 'access has been denied to 'Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\1033\msointl.dll and that I must 'verify access'

I have looked at the holding folder (1033) which will not open and when I look at properties it says there is nothing in the folder.

I have cleaned and repaired the registry but still nothing will work

Can anybody help me?

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have defended a judicial sentence of 200 lashes for a rape victim,

The justice ministry said in a statement that the sentence was justified because the woman was in a car with an unrelated man.

The 19-year-old, who has not been named, was travelling in a car with a male friend last year, when the car was attacked by a gang of seven men who raped both of them.

Last week the court increased the woman's sentence to 200 lashes and six months in prison.

It also banned her lawyer from the courtroom and took away his licence.

The Saudi justice ministry has defended the verdict and warned against "agitation through the media" - a sign of how sensitive the authorities are to the fact that the woman and her lawyer have sought to use the media to highlight the case

I use a laptop to connect to the web.

I live in France and use Orange.fr as my service provider.

Once connected to the web I use Mozilla Firefox to surf, which I installed following answers on Yahoo (for which thank you very much)

However, I have down loaded, again on advice from experts on Answers a CrapCleaner and an AVG antivirus program.

When I try to open them I get told I do not have the necessary 'permissions' more precisely 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access this file'

I have tried moving the files into different folders but can't get it to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It's quite a powerfull wee job and I defrag it regularly and run a registry check.

I have some quite heavy duty programs on it and when I go control alt delete they are all showing.

Could this cause the slow running and if so how can I 'disconnect' them without deleting them?

It is reported in today's Sunday Observer that because convicted Muslim terrorists are having/will be given a hard time from other prisoners, and the Prison Service seems unable to guarantee their safety, there should be special prisons built exclusively for this category of prisoner.

Does not this give them a separate status as 'political prisoners'?

And should it be allowed to happen?

Following a question on this forum about problems with Explorer 7 (Thank you everybody who recommended FireFox I have had no troubles since) I followed up a hyperlink and came to Registry Patrol (www.registrypatrol.com). It looked good so I paid up my $29.95 thru' PayPal and awaited the unlock code. . . nearly 2 weeks later still no code.

All my emails to both Registry Patrol and The Post Media Network who deal with their sales it seems are returned as 'undeliverable'.

I have complained to PayPal but their guarantees are only good for physical goods.

So it seems I have been stuffed by Registry Patrol.

Anybody out there had the same, or even better is in a position to kick *** and get them to send me my unlock code, which for me is the preferred option.

Any help gratefully received.

PS I know its only $29.95. . . but hey, this sort of thing is bad for internet trading world wide.

I upgraded to Explorer 7 about 10 days ago. . .and since then I am having huge problems getting on to a Yahoo Chess game. . I have evn been banned for 2 days. . no idea why. . I have cleaned up my computer, run RegistryPatrol de fragged the lot. . but still having problems.

Is it me? Or can I blame Explorer 7?

OK so you don't agree so have a go at me and my tastes. . it will all be a bit of fun and 10 points to the one who produces a better list. . but you will have to go a bit I can tell you

I have it on impeccable authority that a 4 year old child (boy) weighing 45 kilos (that's 99 lbs or over 7 stone) has been admitted to a local hospital.

He is very ill.

Without writing streams of vituperation against the parents is there anything that can be done?

In a parallel case I know of a child died of malnutrition having been fed only on 'rice milk' and an attempted prosecution failed.

Should we, as individuals try to get the law changed and if so, how? And what should the ne law be?

A cube with sides of 1 metre stands against a wall.

The wall is precisely 90 degrees to the ground.

A ladder 8 metres long is placed against the wall so that it touches the outside edge of the cube.

How far along the ladder does the contact take place?

It seems to me there are only 2 possible answers but I am b******d if I can work it out.

Can you?

I have a car, UK registered in France, in my barn while I have spent a few months holiday in Australia.

When I return it will be un taxed and needing an MOT'

Registering the car in France is an option but, as it wll require new headlights an expensive option.

How can I get it back for an MOT legally?

A civil war was fought in North America over the 'right' of a man to be free. Many years later Martin Luther King led a movement, against sometimes fierce resistance, to establish those rights.

This is a clear case to me of rights being denied, fought for, and eventually accepted.

I would guess that most people in the world are now against slavery.

In this context do animals have rights? If so who fought for them? Who granted them?

Please keep you answers fairly short.

OK here is the definitive list. . .in NO particular order

12 Angry Men (Henry Fonda)

Psycho (Anthony Perkins)

To Kill a Mockingbird (Gregory Peck)

12 o'Clock High (Gregory Peck)

All Quiet on the Western Front (Erich Maria Remarque)

The Cruel Sea (Jack Hawkins)

The General (Buster Keaton)

Dr Strangelove (Peter Sellars)

Some Like it Hot (Monroe, Curtis, Lemmon)

Hiroshima Mon Amour (?)

Just a silly game but if you are over 45 with similar friends its good for hours of friendly dispute.

So what's your best 10?

Remember Black and White only!!!

A silly 'pub' argument.

A bullet fired from a gun exactly horizontally will hit the ground at exactly the same time as a bullet dropped from the same height as the gun barrel.

My friend maintains the force of gravity being the same on both objects they will hit the ground simultaneously.

I maintain that although this is true in a 'no atmosphere' situation, where there is an atmosphere the fired bullet is effectively 'flying'; and will hit the ground long after the dropped bullet.

Which of us is right?
