  Silver Necklaces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Necklaces are frequently formed from a metal chain; often attached to a locket or pendant.
Necklacing refers to the practice of execution carried out by forcing a rubber tire, filled with gasoline, around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire.
Necklacing was also used to punish offenders, including children, alleged to be traitors to the liberation movement as well as their relatives and associates.

 Necklace problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moreau's necklace-counting function treats a problem that is not only recreational.
The necklace problem is a problem in recreational mathematics, solved in the early 21st century.
Suppose that a person you are in contact with has a necklace of n beads, each of which is either fl or white.

 Language Production
Thus problem solving was seen as a discontinuous process in which one achieves "insight" into the solution by the sudden rearrangement of elements.
Irrespective of whether one adopts a discontinuous or incremental model of problem solving, all agree that the most critical factor in understanding the problem is constructing an adequate internal representation of the problem.
The point to computer models of problem solving isn't so much to turn problem solving over to computers as it is to force theorists to clarify and increase the precision of their theories.

 Cameos
This necklace has a beautiful small tiger's eye handcarved cameo set into a filigree pendant that hangs from a tri-colored goldtone crescent.
The Necklace is a soft goldtone metal comprised of 2 goldtone round flowered links,2 goldtone half-round flowered links, and 3 fl on fl oval glass cameo links.
The chain on the necklace may have been replaced, as it is a lighter color of goldtone.

 Review: Problem Solving, How do we do it?
Problems consist of various states, and the solving of the problem can be considered as searching the space within which these states exist.
The problem space could be viewed as a maze of states and in order to find the goal state we have to do a search on this 'maze.' An example is given of a eight-tile puzzle, with eight numbered tiles and one blank space.
The problem is that in order to solve the problem, the solver has to bring two creatures back, and thus appear to go away from the goal, and will therefore undo a move rather than head towards a state that is different than the goal.

 Problem D: The Necklace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
One day, the necklace was torn and the beads were all scattered over the floor.
My sister did her best to recollect all the beads from the floor, but she is not sure whether she was able to collect all of them.
She wants to know whether it is possible to make a necklace using all the beads she has in the same way her original necklace was made and if so in which order the bids must be put.

 List of combinatorics topics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A few decades ago it might have been said that combinatorics is to mathematics roughly what irritable bowel syndrome is to gastroenterology - a way to classify poorly-understood problems, and some standard remedies.
This page is complementary to the list of graph theory topics: graph theory being the part of combinatorial mathematics that is most like a separate discipline.
Since combinatorial mathematics is effectively the environment for the study of data structures in computer science, there are very many topics that arise there.

 Glass Beads
Many bead makers were working for her and they manufactured new necklaces and bracelets every day.
The necklace should be made of glass beads of different sizes connected to each other but without any thread running through the beads, so that means the beads can be disconnected at any point.
IBM wants to test the robustness of a necklace so he needs a program that will be able to determine the worst possible point of disjoining the beads.

 [No title]
We give a partial solution to Gr"unbaum's problem in the critical dimension n = 4 by proving that each measure ~ in R4 admits an equipartition by 4 hyperplanes, provided that it is sym- metric with respect to a 2-dimensional affine subspace L of R4.
This is an "essentially 4- dimensional" problem by the classification of V. Klee [Klee99], indicating that the answer is known and positive in all dimensions 3 and negative in di- mensions 5.
Nevertheless, the 4-equipartition problem itself has resisted all attempts and remains one of the central open problems in the field.

 The Necklace of Democritus
Democritus wondered how he could take apart the atoms in his grain of salt and line them up in a row, a problem made particularly difficult if he is correct that they are very, very small because of the resulting huge number of them.
I shall present the necklace to the wife of Leucippus, so that when he sees it, he will understand how small the atoms are.
Unfortunately, Hephaestus did not deliver the necklace to him the next day, nor the next, not even many days following, engaged as he was to manufacture crews for gods and heroes and to look for his wife Aphrodite (Venus in Latin) who was rather libertine in spirit.

The second clerk basically implied that I had been wearing the necklace for months, that the store was a small business just trying to survive, and that they couldn't exchange things months after their purchase.
She then suggested several times that she should take the necklace to her friend, the jeweller Zack, and he would fix it for me, she was sure it would not be too expensive.
She said she could no longer return the necklace to the manufacturer, and their policy was two week replacement only (first I'd heard of that...perhaps a training issue with the clerks?), and closed off by saying she was hoping I would continue to be a customer.
