  • I think it's also noteworthy, that in this case Bein should be translated/understood as bone, not leg

Weiberworte: what does it mean?




It means women's words, refering to words spoken by women.

The english title of the chinese fairy tale is indeed women's words part flesh and blood, as for example displayed on wikisource.

When dealing with compound words like this (that you won't find in a dictionary sometimes), you should always try to figure out the individual words and their translation, which helps you to conclude the meaning of the compound word.

Here Weib is an antiquated word for wife or in general women and worte translates to words.

You can find a more elaborated explanation of compound words, and how to deal with them, in Hubert Schölnast's answer to this question.

            An IMO inspired problem

            Image
            14 4 This problem from IMO 1988 is said to be one of the most elegant ones in functional equations. Problem : The function $f$ is defined on the set of all positive integers as follows: begin{align} f(1) = 1, f(3) &= 3, f(2n) = f(n), \ f(4n+1) &= 2f(2n+1) - f(n), \ f(4n+3) &= 3 f(2n+1) - 2f(n) end{align} Find the number of $n$ with $f(n) = n, 1 leq n leq 1988$. The main idea towards the solution is realizing that these conditions stand for the fact that $f(n)$ just reverses the digits in the binary representation of the number $n$. So, essentially the solution is finding the number of binary pallindromes $leq 1988_{10}$. My question is the following : How to reformulate the problem so that $f(n)$ reverses the digits of $n$ in its ternary representation. Or even better, can we reformulate it for a

            Has there ever been an instance of an active nuclear power plant within or near a war zone?

            Image
            36 3 The question Has there ever been a military combat going on around an active (running or in outage but not decommissioned) commercial nuclear power plant? Or dangerously near it? If yes, how did the plant and its personnel fare in such situation? Why I ask Let's assume for the scope of this question modern commercial nuclear power plants (CANDU, PWR, BWR of generation II plus all of gen III and newer) are usually reasonably safe to operate given that the engineering has been done right and there is a whole cohort of very well trained personnel on-site at all times, well rested and with considerable resources on their hands. Things hard to get with an armed conflict like the recent Syrian war raging around. I can't seem to find any reference or a comprehensive article about this, hence this question.
