bat & ball riddle

7/16/2026

0 Comments

 
Proposition
A bat and ball cost $1.10.

Question
How much does the ball cost if the bat costs $1 more?

You're thinking 10 cents.

​There are five steps.

1) Assign variables
cost of ball is x
cost of bat is x + 1.00

2) Set up equation
x + (x + 1.00) = 1.10

3) Simplify equation
2x + 1.00 = 1.10


4) Subtract 1.00 from both sides
2x = .10

5) Divide both sides by 2
x = .05

Solution
​5 cents

You hit a Homer.

Christ and the Fibonacci Sequence are linked by intelligent design.

The connection is conceptual and interpretive, built on the following ideas.
  • The Creator’s Signature: The sequence unfolds as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. In nature, it dictates the spirals of elephant trunks, galaxies, seashells, sunflowers, and more. We see this mathematical precision as proof of an orderly and intelligent architect.
  • The Divine Proportion: As the sequence progresses, the ratio between consecutive numbers approaches the Golden Ratio (≈1.618). Mathematicians state that the dimensions of biblical structures—like the Ark of the Covenant and Noah’s Ark—reflect these proportions.

1. The Golden Ratio in Sacred Architecture
As the Fibonacci sequence approaches infinity, the ratio between consecutive numbers converges on the Golden Ratio. Secular and religious mathematicians have analyzed ancient biblical blueprints to see if they utilize this specific ratio.
  • Noah’s Ark: Described in Genesis 6:15 as 50 cubits wide by 30 cubits high, the ratio is 50/30 = 1.667, identical to the Ark of the Covenant’s proportions.
  • The Ark of the Covenant: Described in Exodus 25:10 as 2.5 cubits long by 1.5 cubits wide, the ratio of its length to width is 2.5 / 1.5 = 1.667, mathematically approximating the Golden Ratio (≈1.618).

2. Historical Timing and Fibonacci’s Work
The sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa (known as Fibonacci), a Catholic mathematician who introduced it to Western Europe in his 1202 book Liber Abaci.
  • Fibonacci did not uncover the sequence to find divine patterns; he found it while solving a secular mathematical puzzle about the growth rate of a hypothetical rabbit population.
  • The sequence itself had already been uncovered centuries earlier by Indian mathematicians like Pingala around 200 BC, completely independent of Catholic history.

3. Modulo Arithmetic and The Fingerprint of God
  • Some digital-root mathematicians examine the Fibonacci sequence using modular arithmetic, specifically Modulo 9, reducing numbers to their single-digit repeating patterns.
  • When you apply Modulo 9 to the Fibonacci sequence, it creates a perfectly repeating 24-digit pattern.
  • Catholic numerologists point out that the sum of these 24 digits is 117, which reduces to 9 (1+1+7=9). In biblical numerology, some interpret the number 3 and its square, 9, as symbols of finality or divine completion, though this is a mystical interpretation of a standard periodic repeating function.

The Convergence Rule is too long for here. It involves a step-by-step convergence ratio, algebraic proof of limit, verification via Binet's Formula, and explicit limit value.

the amazing elephant

The Speed-Curvature Power Law: Biomechanical studies show that the speed at which an elephant moves its trunk slows down predictably based on the tightness of the curve it is tracing. This precise mathematical relationship is also found in human hands when we draw.

Modular Movements: Researchers have mathematically modeled trunk movement by breaking it down into a "language" of about 20 kinematic building blocks. The trunk combines these basic geometric patterns (changes in curvature, torsion, and elongation) to execute complex, infinite movements.

Physics & Squeeze Forces: Mathematical models of granular mechanics have been used to explain how the trunk varies its force. The elephant alters the squeezing force of its trunk based on the exact number of objects (such as food items) it is trying to pick up.

Wrinkles and Skin:
The characteristic skin wrinkles that provide the trunk with its extreme flexibility can also be captured by mathematical models (like nonlinear morphoelasticity) that account for variables like skin thickness and local curvature.


Recreational Math:
In computer science and mathematics, there is a famous recreational problem called "Von Neumann's elephant". It utilizes complex Fourier analysis and specific mathematical parameters to plot a curve that resembles an elephant—with the trunk drawn using a specific coordinate parameter. Fibonacci

Because the number three is mathematically and conceptually infinite in its everyday usage, listing every single instance in reality is impossible.

Geometry & Science
  • Dimensions: Physical reality operates in three dimensions, length, width, and depth.
  • Shapes: The triangle is the strongest shape in engineering and structural design.
  • Stability: Three points are the minimum required to form a stable plane.
  • States: Matter primarily exists in three states, solid, liquid, and gas.

Three-year intervals
They dictate the timing of international sports tournaments and regulatory cycles.

Sports & Competitions
  • Invictus Games: This international adaptive sporting event for wounded servicemen and veterans transitioned to a three-year cycle after 2020, with games held in 2023 and scheduled for 2026.
  • Rugby League World Cup: Following disruptions to the four-year schedule, international organizers planned a compressed three-year window between the 2023 tournament and the 2026 tournament in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • World Baseball Classic: Organizers shifted the tournament to a three-year interval following the 2023 event, setting the next iterations for 2026 and 2029.

Science & Education
  • The Programme for International Student Assessment tests 15-year-old students worldwide every three years to rank global education systems in math, science, and reading.

Corporate & Technology Cycles
  • Corporate Strategic Planning: Most enterprise businesses build three-year business plans because five-year plans are too unpredictable for market volatility, and one-year plans are too short-sighted.
  • Mac Operating System Support: Tech developers like Apple typically provide full lifecycle updates and security patches for macOS versions for a standard three-year window before moving them to vintage status.

Culture & Folklore
  • Fairy Tales: The number universally appears in stories, e.g., Three Little Pigs, Three Bears, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and three wishes.
  • Idioms: The number is seen in common sayings like “two's company, three's a crowd” and countdowns to initiate action.

Art Film Music & UAP
There are too many instances of the number three to list, so explore the relevant categories.


Religion & History
  • Bible: Scholars note the number appears hundreds of times, e.g., Jonah in the whale for three days, Peter’s three denials.
  • Time: There are three stages of existence, birth, life, death, or Past, Present, Future.
  • Transfiguration: Jesus was accompanied by three of his apostles, Peter, James, and John, and while on the mountain, three spoke with each other, Jesus, Moses, and Elias.
  • Trinity: The concept of Three-in-One is foundational to Christianity and is found in many mythologies.

The Calendar
March 3rd (03/03) and dates containing the number three appear throughout historical calendars. Because history contains thousands of years, listing every calendar date with a three is impossible. Instead, here are some significant historical events, treaties, and milestones that occurred on March 3rd.
  • 1861: Tsar Alexander II signed the Emancipation Reform, freeing millions of Russian serfs.
  • 1863: President Abraham Lincoln signed the Conscription Act, initiating the first wartime draft in United States history.
  • 1878: The Treaty of San Stefano was signed, concluding the Russo-Turkish War and establishing an independent Bulgarian state.
  • 1918: Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Soviet Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ending Russia’s participation in World War I.
  • 1923: Time Magazine published its very first issue, featuring House Speaker Joseph G. Cannon on the cover.
  • 1924: The Islamic Caliphate was abolished when Turkish President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk officially deposed Caliph Abdülmecid II.
  • 1931: President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional act making “The Star-Spangled Banner” the official national anthem of the United States.
  • 2005: In 67 hours, adventurer Steve Fossett completed the first solo, non-stop flight around the world without refueling.

Historical Milestones
  • 333 BC: Alexander the Great defeated Darius III of Persia at the Battle of Issus, a turning point in Macedonian expansion.
  • 1833: The Slavery Abolition Act received royal assent, outlawing slavery throughout most of the British Empire.
  • 1933: President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched the New Deal to combat the Great Depression during his first 100 days in office.
  • 33: This surpasses all other events, for in this year we have the Crucifixion, on the third day, lasting three hours, and ending at three o’clock, followed by the Resurrection three days later and Ascension.

Mathematics

There is no general formula to solve all quintic equations using basic algebraic operations and n-th roots. The rule applies to all polynomials of degree quinque or higher, as rigorously proven by the Abel-Ruffini theorem. Catholic Paolo Ruffini (1765–1822) intended to enter Holy Orders, received the tonsure, chose to study medicine and mathematics, and wrote extensive apologetic and philosophical works. Where are the mathematicians?

Science

​Belgian priest and theoretical physicist Georges Lemaître (1894-1966) developed the Big Bang Theory. In the 1920s when Lemaître first proposed the "Big Bang", the idea that the universe exploded from a single point Einstein notoriously dismissed. After Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were indeed moving away from each other, Einstein conceded, admitting his blunder. Where are the scientists?

During the Battle of Chartres (8/16/1944-8/18/1944), Colonel Welborn Griffith saved France's Chartres Cathedral, one of the most important monuments of medieval civilization.

Eugene Schulz, an operations officer serving under Griffith, described the event as follows: "Nobody knows why he personally went into Chartres. He had to go through ... a few enemy lines there; he went into the Cathedral, and he checked it out—he went through the nave, he climbed the bell tower, and he did not find any German snipers at all. So he immediately said to the artillery, 'Rescind that order to shell and destroy'."

The Gnomon
Chartres Cathedral, owned by the French State

​What is a gnomon?
It is an iron peg, a nail in the floor that functions as the projecting piece on a sundial that shows the time by the position of its shadow. Also, it can be the part of a parallelogram left when a similar parallelogram has been taken from its corner.​
The direction of Chartres is precisely ad orientem, a Latin phrase that translates "to the East" or "toward the East", referring to the priest and people facing the same direction—eastward or toward the altar—during the Latin Mass.

The nails used to crucify Christ are estimated to have been roughly up to nine inches long, fashioned from iron with a square shaft, designed for extreme pain. While traditional depictions suggest three nails—one in each hand/wrist and one for the feet—there is no exact, definitively verified biblical number.

Finally, we get a police officer who is fit, articulate, and handsome.

William K. Oku III is part of a law enforcement family in Hawaii and is currently an officer with the Honolulu Police Department. He responded to the Pali Puka Trail on Oahu on 3/24/2025, after a hiker called 911 and said that she and her friend saw another hiker attacking a woman. Oku testified in the man's attempted murder trial last week in Honolulu Circuit Court, and he recalled how he was assigned to search the area for the attacker.

Sundays incorrect

2/1/2026

0 Comments

 
Mass
If you see Sundays in Ordinary Time, you know that you are in the wrong place. The Third Edition of the Roman Missal, printed on flimsy, throw-away paper, promulgated in 2000, and introduced to English-speaking parishes in 2011, is false, using bad translations. The 1962 Roman Missal (Vulgate and Douay-Rheims) follows the valid liturgical calendar, which divides the year into seasons, such as "Time After Epiphany" and "Time After Pentecost". Sundays are numbered based on their relation to these feasts, not "Ordinal Time".

Today is Septuagesima, Latin for 70th, both the name of the liturgical season and the name of the Sunday, marking the beginning of the shortest season, including Sexagesima and Quinquagesima, seventeen days long until Ash Wednesday, like a countdown, seven, six, five. The color is purple.

Babylonian mathematics, developed in Mesopotamia around 2000–1600 BC, was an advanced sexagesimal base-60 positional system.


Calendars
There are three calendars: lunar, Julian, and Gregorian, corresponding to the ancient Hebrews, ancient Romans, and the calendar corrected by Pope Gregory XII in 1582 through the papal bull Inter Gravissimas. It corrected the inaccuracies of the Julian calendar, which had drifted by 10 days, by skipping those days in October 1582 to realign the calendar with the solar year and seasons. Everybody uses that calendar, further justifying BC and AD.

​UTC
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard used in outer space, particularly for the International Space Station (ISS). It acts as a neutral, consistent reference point for global ground control teams to coordinate activities. Catholic circumscribes Universal.

Algebra of Musical Tuning Systems

Posted on February 28, 2023, by billkeevers

​
Simple summary of two points:
  • Three main paths to tuning from Pythagoras and other ancient Greeks are inter-related and give us greater insight into music in the main and the metaphysics of mathematics behind music.
  • The three main tuning systems have highly comprehensible, main characteristics that throw off unnecessary complications — you can get a higher viewpoint if the topic is correctly presented.

  2. Golden Ratio Approximation: The spiral shape is closely linked to the golden ratio, that is, ϕ ≈ 1.618, derived from the Fibonacci sequence, uncovered by Leonardo Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician from Pisa (Liber Abaci, AD 1202).
  3. Natural Spiral: This and other natural examples like a fern unfurling and storm clouds are curls that match the mathematical proportions.

  1. Fuji displays a truncated pyramid.
  2. In the Latin Mass, the chalice is covered by a stiffened, square linen cloth called a pall (Latin: palla), which is placed over the top to protect the wine and, post-consecration, the Precious Blood from dust or insects. A chalice veil (usually in the liturgical color of the day) and a burse (containing the corporal) often cover the entire vessel until the offertory.

Deviations
All the deviations are well below 1.

Negative Exponents
A negative exponent does not make the result a negative number; it results in a fraction, a small decimal, and the larger the negative exponent, the smaller the fraction.

Fractals
Fractals are complex, repeating geometric patterns that are self-similar across different scales, meaning they look similar no matter how much you zoom in. Created through repeating simple, iterative mathematical processes, they exhibit detailed, nested structures found both in abstract mathematics (for example, the Mandelbrot set) and throughout nature, such as in trees, clouds, rivers, and snowflakes.

Thomas Aquinas
First Principles & Music

Thomas Aquinas wrote extensively on first principles, defining them as indemonstrable, self-evident foundations for all knowledge, science, and morality. Rooted in Aristotelian thought, he argued that these principles are grasped by the intellect upon experiencing reality, with the primary ontological principle being that "being is being".

During his 48 years, he wrote about eight million words and composed five major Eucharistic hymns. Written around 1264 at the request of Pope Urban IV for the Feast of Corpus Christi, these works include Pange Lingua (which contains Tantum Ergo), Lauda Sion, Sacris Solemniis, Verbum Supernum, and the personal prayer Adoro Te Devote.

  1. Size: While some reports indicate around 60 monks, more recent data suggests that nearly 80 monks from 10 different nationalities are in residence.
  2. Demographics: The monastic body is known for a relatively young average age of 40, with ages ranging from 20 to 85.
  3. Background: The abbey was refounded in 1948 by monks from Solesmes and follows the Traditional Latin Mass (1962 Roman Missal).
  4. Foundations: Fontgombault has founded other monasteries, including Randol, Triors, Gaussan, and Clear Creek Abbey, USA.
  5. Growth: The foundation grows while others dwindle.
  6. Call: ​If God calls, this is the place to be.

It is possible to ski on the Moon at the South Pole. The low gravity (1/6th of Earth) would make it possible to ski, jump, and glide effortlessly over the lunar surface, often without needing formal skis at all!

The Kite
Spiritual Metaphors
  1. The Holy Ghost: The wind that carries a kite is frequently compared to the Holy Ghost—invisible yet powerful enough to lift the spirit toward God.
  2. The Commandments: The kite string represents God's laws and covenants, and just as a string provides the tension necessary for a kite to soar against the wind rather than crashing, the Commandments provide boundaries for spiritual freedom.
  3. The Sacraments: Some metaphors liken the seven sacraments to a kite soaring in the sky, each filling the believer with grace to stay close to heaven.
  4. The KITE Model: This educational framework (K.I.T.E.) is used to teach Scripture by moving children from the literal to a deeper meaning.

​Whenever I write about Him, I emphasize His Manhood. Many Catholics, multitudes of people, don't really believe it. He is still a Man: His Body is in Heaven. Thankfully, people go to Mass on Christmas, acknowledging His Incarnation nine months before and the infinite power in Him.

​E equals m c squared shows that energy and mass are equivalent and interchangeable, linked by the speed of light, meaning a tiny bit of mass holds immense energy, explaining phenomena from radioactivity to nuclear power and the energy of stars. This principle, from his theory of special relativity, reveals mass is "congealed energy" and forms the foundation for understanding nuclear processes and the universe's energy budget.
Tetrameter
Esolen literary criticism of "The Three Kings" of Longfellow-Stainer-Keevers: Accentual tetrameter is common in popular English ballads, wherein two syllables (think of eighth notes) can substitute for one (think of a quarter note) in any unstressed position, also in which the lead stress may be strong. Coleridge used it in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (Reading List).

Tetrahedron
A tetrahedron, an important Catholic symbol I have written about (Math Category), is a 3D shape, a polyhedron with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices, essentially a triangular pyramid. A regular tetrahedron, a Platonic solid, has four identical equilateral triangles as faces, while an irregular tetrahedron can have different triangle shapes, but all faces remain triangles.
