“Whenever you come across a new chapter, before learning it, ask your teacher, how is it going to help you in real life.”-One of my Mathematics teachers quoted at a class room in the late 90's. At that moment i didn't ask him the question popped in my mind, "how trigonometry, matrices, geometry, or reasoning is going to help me in real life?"
Recent past i came across through a puzzle, which took couple of minutes to solve. But later it reminisced me my teacher's quote, the concepts i read so far and how/where i am employing them in real life. I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty of my thoughts in this regard here. But the intension of this article is
1) to let you think how the stuff that you read/learn in schools/colleges/post academics is helping/helped you in real life,
2) to allure you to solve the puzzle, though its not a Gordian Knot, and
3) to have regularity in blog posts.
The so hyped conundrum is as follows:-
XX
*X
-----
XX
+
XX
-----
XX
-----
Use numeric values 1 to 9 in place of 'X', each digit must be used only once.
Do the math, happy thinking....aloha.... :)
