Intermittent spots with Infant Sheba

  Sherlock Holmes and Reasoning Math! Welcome literature-math detectives,   Trust me, I will make it least boring regardless of your connection to the two disciplines within discussion today. This day I would like to present a comparative spot between literature and competitive mathematics.   How many of us love Sherlock Holmes series? How many of us have heard of Sherlock and Dr. Watson?   Almost all of us, yeah. Thanks to the genius, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! One among the Sherlock Holmes novels is ‘A Study in Scarlet’. I have extracted a few lines for us from the conclusion of that novel. Let’s take a look at that. Images and Quotations are both available. This conversation happens between Sherlock and Dr. Watson.

If you had an ounce of curiosity or a pinch of an answer when you read the questions above then you got to definitely continue reading. Many leaders bring forth questions. But how many of them answer it through their actions? Or seek the solution alongside the public? A handful? Once I had this math class where a teacher walked us through profit and loss percentage. He asked us a simple question. Well, might not be simple to some. “If the dress you love at the store has a discount of 10% and the market price is 2500. How much do you have to pay on purchase at the bill counter?” There were two hands up before I could do the math in my head. I was astounded. One asked, “Why do we want to know that, Sir? I pay what’s on the bil...
