To encourage Jack to read during the summer, his father offers an incentive (reward). He will pay Jack $5 for the first book he reads. For each additional book Jack reads, his father will pay him an amount that is equal to some percentage, x, of the amount he paid for the previous book. Jack's
father agrees to let Jack choose a value for x, and Jack would obviously like his total earnings to be as large as possible.
Which of these options will allow Jack to earn an unlimited amount of money from his father, as long as he reads more and more books?

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?
