"Numbers on a clock...." |
How many numbers did they expect to see on that clock? Don't most clocks have the numbers 1-12 on them? Were they expecting a 24 hour clock or something? And even then, why was it so hard for some of the to add up the number.BTW, here is a little trick. You make pairs starting with the highest and lowest number and multiply. Like this: 12+1=13 11+2=13 10+3=13 9+4=13 8+5=13 7+6=13 13*6=78 "I'll have you know, I rock!" BA

7. "The Rule of 78" |
Bucky, The Rule of 78 relates to an amortization model more commonly referred to as "add on" interest. To understand the amortization of add on interest look at a typical 1-yr note, fully amortized using the "rule of 78" which applies the principal and interest repaid to a note differently than most standard fully amortized notes (simple interest loans)On an "add on" loan, each month's payment is credited to the loan in the following manner: Month 1= 1/12th to principal and 11/12th to interest Month 2= 2/12th to principal and 10/12th to interest Month 3= 3/12th to principal and 9/12th to interest Month 4= 4/12th to principal and 8/12th to interest Month 5= 5/12th to principal and 7/12th to interest Month 6= 6/12th to principal and 6/12th to interest Month 7= 7/12th to principal and 5/12th to interest Month 8= 8/12th to principal and 4/12th to interest Month 9= 9/12th to principal and 3/12th to interest Month 10= 10/12th to principal and 2/12th to interest Month 11= 11/12th to principal and 1/12th to interest Month 12= 12/12th to principal and nothing to interest. Add the sum of 1 thru 12 and you get the "Rule of 78". This type of loan amortization always favors the lender and not the borrower. The reason why? The borrower is repaying interest to the lender first, and repaying principal second. The most common type of interest amortization employed by finanical institutions is called "simple interest". Mortgage loans are based on "simple interest." With simple interest the monthly accumulated interest is paid in full with each principal payment reduction...thus if a prepayment is made, the monies paid in excess of the interest all go toward the reduction of the principal balance, which in turn, means a lower principal balance from which to accrue interest charges. With "Add on" interest, however, any prepayments on the loan are not applied to reducing principal. Rather the payments are applied as outlined above. What that means is, with any prepayments made to "add on", you are merely paying the lender their unaccrued interest early. Great for the lender, not so great for the borrower. Btw, add on interest is typically employed by car dealers...so buyer beware. As with any fully amortized loan, if either an "add on" or "simple interest" note are repaid according to the terms of the note...meaning 12 equal payments, made on the same day each month, and at an indentical interest rate, then both notes end up equaling the same amount of interest paid. The only difference is, with a simple interest note, you can save interest charges by prepaying, while with an add on, you do not. Phew...what a boring, banker explanation! I hope I didn't put the viewing audience to sleep! *Katt smooch*

3. "RE: Numbers on a clock...." |
As I was watching the show, I did 12+ 11+1=12+ 10+2=12+ 9+3=12+ 8+4=12+ 7+5=12+ 6 in my head. 12x6 (72) + 6 = 78 My husband was like, how did you figure that out so fast?

Some clocks have only four numbers (3,6,9,12) on them and dashes for the other numbers.

There's another way of calculating sum of numbers until N. For eg: If you need sum of all numbers from 1 to 50.The formula for N is Sum = N X (N + 1) / 2 Taking sum of numbers from 1 to 12: Sum = 12 X (12 + 1) / 2 Sum = 12 X 13 / 2 Sum = 6 X 13 = 78 This may not be useful for small sums, but if you need to calculate sum until large numbers from 1 then this can be useful.
