Right? Yes, said a panel of college math professors who reviewed the question. No, said Dan Lowen, who realized that if the triangular faces of the pyramids are placed together, something else happens as well. Four other triangles-two on each pyramid-form two planes, thereby reducing the number of exposed faces by still two more. So the new solid has only five faces in all. After making models of their own, the math experts confessed that Lowen was right. Admitted University of Georgia's Jeremy Kilpatrick: "Our faces are red." Testing Service Vice President Arthur Kroll added...
...ever-present" Mr. Cullen asked about shots-on-goal ratios, Tommy Murray's separated shoulder and how many of the team members regularly watched "The $10,000 Pyramid." A little self-indulgent, but he'd obviously done some research...
...Apple, you could describe Jerusalem as the apple of God's eye," observed Edward Koch, mayor of New York. Koch was in Israel and in Egypt on an unofficial nine-day tour to see the ancient sights and create a few new ones. Outside the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Giza, he gamely wrapped himself in Arab robes and called for "the toughest camel." Cracked Edward of Arabia as he mounted the snorting beast: "I want to look like Henry Kissinger looked." But the majestic surroundings also left Hizzoner humbled: "Will the ruins of New York City have...
...ceremony is one thing," he says, "but the real life is more." He looks at the wedding party happily posing just inside the gate. The soldiers and the peddler have just reached the pyramid. "What happens in there has nothing to do with what happens outside," he concludes...
Several peddlers of cold drinks and ice cream have set up shop, evidently without licenses, outside the huge gate. Their goods are sold from boxes tied to pedicabs and hand carts. Two uniformed soldiers walk slowly from the pyramid entrance across the plaza to the gate; as they approach, the peddlers pack their goods frantically and begin to run--actually run--down the wall outside, to another corner perhaps, to sell goods out of sight of the soldiers. One is not fast enough, or doesn't notice the soldiers until it is too late for him. He is taken...
