Once upon a time, there was an old watchmaker who installed a big clock for a church. He was old and dizzy, and he put the long and short needles wrong. But the speed of the short needle is 12 times that of the long needle. It was 6 o'clock in the morning when it was assembled. He pointed the short needle at "6" and the long needle at "12". The old watchmaker packed it and went home. People look at this clock at 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock. It was strange, so they immediately went to the old watchmaker. When the old watchmaker arrived, it was already past 7 pm. He took out a pair of pocket watches, and the clock was accurate. He suspected that people were playing tricks on him, so he got angry and went back. The clock was still running at 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock, and people went to the watchmaker again. The old watchmaker came to use a pair of watches at 8 o'clock the next morning, which was still accurate. Please think about it. When the old watchmaker first set his watch, what time was 7 o'clock? What time did you set your watch to 8: 00 for the second time?

The strange mechanical problem of monkey climbing rope is simple at first glance, but it is said that it puzzles lewis carroll. It is not clear whether this strange question was put forward by a mathematical expert from Oxford University who is famous for Alice in Wonderland. In short, at an unlucky moment, he asked people's opinions on the following issues: a rope passed through a frictionless pulley, one end of the rope was hung with a 10 pound weight, and the other end of the rope had a monkey, which was just in balance with the weight. How does the weight move when the monkey starts to climb up? "It's strange," Carol wrote, "that many excellent mathematicians have given completely different answers. Price thinks farmyard will go up, and the speed will get faster and faster. Clifton (and Hackett) thought that the weight would rise at the same speed as monkeys, but sampson said that the weight would fall! " An outstanding mechanical engineer said that "this is not more effective than a fly crawling on a rope", while a scientist thought that "the rise or fall of weight will depend on the reciprocal of the speed at which monkeys eat apples", but the square root of the monkey's tail still needs to be found. Seriously, this topic is very interesting and deserves serious consideration. It can explain the close relationship between interesting problems and mechanical problems.

Two hollow balls, the same size and weight, but different materials. One is gold and the other is lead. The surface of the hollow ball is painted with the same color.

Suppose someone blindfolds you and your hand can't touch the reverse side of the coin. Let you divide these coins into two piles in the best way, with the same number of coins facing up in each pile.

The problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage is an ancient mathematical problem. At first, it was devoted to the quantitative relationship between head, feet and quantity when chickens and rabbits were mixed. People often use hypothetical methods to answer such questions. But if chickens and rabbits are given new life, we will get unexpected solutions. Example: There are 50 chickens and 140-foot rabbits today. How many chickens and rabbits are there? Analysis and solution: Method (1) Let each chicken stand on one foot and each rabbit stand on two hind feet, so the total number of feet on the ground is only half of the original, that is, 70 feet. The number of feet of a chicken is the same as the number of heads, while the number of feet of a rabbit is twice that of a rabbit. So, 70 MINUS the number of heads leaves 70-50 = 20 rabbits and 50-20 = 30 chickens. The golden rooster is independent and the rabbit stands up-what a clever idea! Method (2) Let each rabbit grow another head, and then split into two "half rabbits" with "one head and two feet". Half rabbits and chickens have two feet, so * * * has 140÷2=70 chickens and rabbits, and 70-50 = 20 rabbits, which is the number of rabbits. Divide the rabbit into "half rabbits"-brilliant idea! Method (3) If the two wings of each chicken are also regarded as feet, then each chicken has four feet, which is the same as that of rabbits. Then the chicken and rabbit have 50×4=200 feet, which is 200- 140 = 60 feet more. This is the number of chicken wings, so the chicken has 60÷2=30. Think of chicken wings as feet-good idea! Method (4) Make every chicken and rabbit have "special functions". The chicken flew and the rabbit stood up. At this time, all the feet standing on the ground are rabbits, and its number of feet is 140-50× 2 = 40, so the number of rabbits is only 40÷2=20, and then we know that there are 30 chickens. Chickens and rabbits have "special functions"-think more wonderfully! Students, do you have any thoughts after reading these four schemes? Elementary school math: chickens and rabbits are in the same cage. Have you ever heard of the problem of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage" This question is one of the famous and interesting questions in ancient China. About 1500 years ago, this interesting question was recorded in Sun Tzu's calculation. The book describes it like this: "There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage today, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. The geometry of chicken and rabbit? These four sentences mean: there are several chickens and rabbits in a cage, counting from the top, there are 35 heads; It's 94 feet from the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there in each cage? Can you answer this question? Do you want to know how to answer this question in Sunzi Suanjing? The answer is this: If you cut off the feet of every chicken and rabbit in half, then every chicken will become a "one-horned chicken" and every rabbit will become a "two-legged rabbit". In this way, the total number of feet of (1) chickens and rabbits changed from 94 to 47. (2) If there is a rabbit in the cage, the total number of feet is more than the total number of heads 1. So the difference between the total number of feet 47 and the total number of heads 35 is the number of rabbits, that is, 47-35 = 12 (only). Obviously, the number of chickens is 35- 12 = 23. This idea is novel and strange, and its "foot-cutting method" has also amazed mathematicians at home and abroad. This way of thinking is called reduction. Reduction method means that when solving a problem, we do not directly analyze the problem first, but deform and transform the conditions or problems in the problem until it is finally classified as a solved problem.

One night, three people went to a hotel and stayed in 300 yuan for one night. Three people just each paid 100 to make up 300 yuan for the boss. 3× 100=300 (yuan) Later, the boss said that there was an activity today, and the discount was given to 250 yuan. He took out 50 yuan's money and told the waiter to return it to the three of them. 300-250=50 (yuan) The waiter secretly hid 20 yuan and gave the rest of 30 yuan money to the three of them, each of whom gave it to 10 yuan. 50-20=30 (yuan) 30÷3 = 10 (yuan). Therefore, each of them only paid 100 yuan. 100- 10=90 (yuan) each person only spent 90 yuan money, and the 90 yuan of each of the three people was 3×90=270 (yuan) in 270 yuan, plus 20 yuan hidden by the waiter was 290 yuan, where did 270+20=290 (yuan) and 10 yuan go? 300-290= 10 (yuan)
