ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"Inquirer."—lt touches the circum* ferenee, but if produced does not cut it. C.H.L.—Will reply to in the form of a useful question next week. "Curious."—ln the case mentioned . whole numbers that repeat a.-figure ; such as 22, 99, etc., would obvious- I ly be of no use under any condi- j tions whatever. The working' i» simplified by the process of elimination. "L.E.W."—Thanks, will be looked ! into, as it seems somewhat off tho ' beaten track. "Periphery."—Yes, there was a condition omitted which rendered the statement obviously incoreret. (2) If a rectangle, the closer the figure ap- . proaches the shape of a square, tha larger the area will of course be. "Singapore."—Measures . of weight, viz., "Picul" and "Kati" (Chinese), equal to one hundred and- thirtythree and a-third pounds, and one and < a-third pounds respectively, are in use ; in the Straits Settlement, but measures of length and area are the British system. . Correspondence shold be- addressed to P. O. Box 1023.
