As usual this puzzle is contributed by Mr Thomas Masiwa, and a prize of $100 is offered for the first correct solution to be opened after 30th April 2001. In this puzzle the solutions are in numbers. Each solution is a three digit number. Decimal points are ignored but if the solution is not an integer, it should be given correct to that number of decimal places that yields a three digit number not starting with 0.
ACROSS
1. f(1) given that f(x) = f¢(x) (function is equal to
its derivative at every point), and f(0) = 1.
3. Ten times the sine of Ö2 radians.
5. Find y such that y is a perfect square and so is
[(y - 1)/2].
6. x such that x1/3 = 30 ¸3!.
8. X such that X = 2m2 + 32, where m is an integer.
10. Square of a prime integer.
12. The product: 3!(34 + 3!).
14. limn ® ¥ (1 + [1/n] )6n.
15. Ten times the sine of f(1) in 1 across.
16. The seventh root of 1,6.
DOWN
1. ep.
2. pe.
3. 33(33 + 32 + 30).
4. The product of the area of a circle of radius 1 unit and
f(1) in 1 across.
7. ( (2000)0 + (2001)0 )8.
9. The positive root of r2 - r - 1 = 0. (Golden Ratio).
10. The area of a circle of radius 1 unit.
11. The length of the diagonal of a one square unit regular
quadrilateral.
12. (26 - 5)32.
13. A Fermat prime, that is a number of the form 22x + 1.
P.S. The centre number is such that the sum of the sums of the
numbers appearing on the diagonals is two more than a perfect square.
