maybe we can modify dhruv's solution a little bit. First, we do as
dhruv said, measure the volume of the whole pipe and compare it with
the theoretical value. If it is wrong, we know that it is not even all
the way. If it is correct, we can now fill up the pipe to half its
length and then compare that value to half of the theoretical volume of

I don't agree totally with dhruv. The inner diameter of the pipe may not be
the same all along the length but still the volume may be same as the
theoritical volume. The diameter at one place may be more and the other
place it may be less, but the whole volume may be the same (pi* r^2* L). I

Hi,
according to theory the volume of the pipe is pi * (r^2) * L.
Now fill the pipe with some fluid which won't stick to the inner
surface of the pipe. measure the volume of the fluid and compare it
with the theoritical value.
if the values are equal then the diameter is same throughout the pipe

Hi group,
I have a pipe of length 6' .Its ID is 11.25" and OD is 12.75".I need to
find whether the pipe has same diameter everywhere.Please give solution
using simple tools.Circumfrence measurement using a soft tape is not a
good solution as chances of error are too much.
Inside diameter is more important need to be varified.

Eventually, I'd like for this to be a really good mailing
list for puzzles.

So far, this has mostly attracted spam postings, which I
have removed, and postings of classic puzzles from the
rec.puzzles FAQ

using 6,4,3,1 produce 24.
conditions:
1)use all the digits(6,4,3,1)only once.
2)use only +,-,/,* without repetition(may not use all).
3)you cannot combine digits( e.g. 6 & 4 don't make 64).

AddleCross #1

AddleCross is a sort of criss-cross word puzzle scavenger hunt. The
addling part is that the simple clues all refer to kooky factoids
sprinkled on the web page. Also odd is that you actually print out (how
antique) the puzzle and fill it in to solve it. No prizes. And it is
free. Good clean fun, and makes you think.
