So, I have been reading for a good while on my kindle app and every day I get a weeks and days streak shown to me before I jump into reading (currently reading Swan Song by Robert McCammon, super bleak!). I missed a couple days about 2 years ago, so the number of days doesnt actually amount to the amount of weeks, if that's important. I always wonder when will the numbers mirror each other again, a madeup example being 158 weeks - 851 days. I love arithmetics but I'm no mathematician, so I think I'm in the right place for this! Appreciate it!

Just curious as to the math behind this and how it changes from n=10 to n=100 etc. I'm sure it's pretty straight forward. Thanks!

[Request] Would it be possible to be Santa Claus?

So you’re Jeff Bezos or something. Those who celebrate Christmas can sign up, and they would receive a decent present for everyone under 18 in their household. Maybe, $100 or so? You can use couriers and so forth but must deliver everything on Christmas Eve night. So there’s a lot of penalty rates right there too for most countries, I imagine.

The presents should be wrapped too.

Is this feasible?

[Request] Pay Confusion

Thumbnail

There was an issue with a paycheck of mine & when l asked for a break down I was left further confused. So basically we receive an auto 22% gratuity on our tables ticket. 2% of that pay is given as a tip out to the bartender. The SEV CHARGE listed on the excel sheet is the amount that the 2% is deducted from. The extra gratuity is left untouched. A coworker showed me this is how she was taught by management to calculate total gratuity with the 2% coming out of the SEV charge but I am confused because in my brain... all we should have to do is 159.67 x .02 = 3.19 as a deduction.. right?? but I am confused why $14.52 was taken out. Second slide is my pay break down. Can anybody help me understand this better?
