How should I invest my money to make more money in a short amount of time?

Posted by Chrisstenson Ford 1 March, 2010 (1) Comment

I’m 22 years old, and wanting to purchase a house in the next year or two. I have money in savings right now which is making terribly low interest. What would be my best move? I’d like to invest the money short term, but I’d like to make a good amount of money doing so. Is that possible and how? CD’s and Money Market accounts just aren’t gonna give me the results I want.

How much money did each player start with?

Posted by Chrisstenson Ford 23 February, 2010 (1) Comment

Al, Bob and Charlie decide to play poker. They agree that when a player
loses a hand, he will pay each of the others an amount equal to the amount
each player already has. Al loses the first hand and pays Bob and Charlie
the amount of money each has. Bob loses the second hand and pays Al and
Charlie the amount of money each has. Charlie loses the third hand and pays
Al and Bob the amount of money each has. At this point, each player has
.00.

PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK.

How much money would you have to be paid to eat your pet?

Posted by Chrisstenson Ford 22 February, 2010 (1) Comment

Say that money is no limit – I mean, for 10-trillion dollars you could use that money to invest in programs that save the lives of countless pets. Thus, by eating your own pet, you could save the pets of others.

So, what would be the minimum amount of money you would require to eat your pet? Your choice of condiments.
