<p>do the crabbby problem. I don’t get it.</p>
<p>@tamarind - heheheh, no yaar!</p>
<p>@username - OK</p>
<p>If a crab and a half weigh a pound and a half, but the half crab weighs as much as the whole crab, what do the half of the whole crab and the whole of the half crab weigh?</p>
<p>Full crab + half crab weighs 1.5 pounds
weight of the half crab = weight of the full crab …so both of them weigh 0.75 pounds each
weight of half of the full crab + weight of the entire half crab = ?
= 1/2 (0.75) + 0.75 = 3/2 (0.75) = 1.125 pounds</p>
<p>eh so i was right… depends on how you read it.</p>
<p>but someone else said the answer was 1.5…</p>
<p>@tamarind - yeah I plan to come there if I get in 
lol
Otherwise I’m off to IIT (indian inst. of tech) next year 
(I’m taking a drop year)</p>
<p>@username - that’s more of an english phrasing riddle, because ‘the whole of the half crab’ could either mean the entire half crab… or the actual whole from which the half crab has been cut out … (gross) lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Arre, that’s awesome spidey!</p>
<p>Spidey if you can get into IIT don’t even bother applying here. They’ll be begging for you in the states once you graduate lol.</p>
<p>aren’t u like a guaranteed millionaire if you go to IIt?</p>
<p>Yea, but the experience in the US is so much better, plus you can get into undergrad research… Most IITians are just after hefty pay packets, none of them are true science and engineering lovers (most of them* )</p>
<p>:D MY dad is from IIT-delhi lol</p>
<p>No, nothing in the world is guaranteed! Lol, who told ya that.</p>
<p>lol do they have legacy preference? or AA? (meaning can i apply? :D)</p>
<p>hehehe, no legacy, no donations, no teacher recs, just an all india exam, your rank, and either in or out. lol</p>
<p>Yep. What did you get on your boards dude?</p>
<p>haha, don’t ask … 80%!</p>
<p>my friend who got a 97% was the only person in my school who got in lol</p>
<p>Well, people with 70% are often in top 100 lol, there’s no steadfast rule.</p>
<p>holy smokes, I should have applied then lol</p>
