Answer to Q120

The three volumes of a book sit in chronical order on a shelf. Each is 1¼ inches thick, comprising an inch of pages and ⅛ inch for each cover. A bookworm bores from page 1, volume I, to the last page of volume III. How far does it travel?

Ok see the first diagram in the attached picture, do you agree? Putting a book on the shelf, the first page will be on your right and the last page on your left. Good!

Now the books were arranged in chronological order (second diagram). The bookworm bores from page 1 of volume I to last page of volume III. You will agree with me that the last page of Volume III will be the first page the bookworm encounters in Volume III (remember last page is on the left and first page is on the right).

So what we are to find is X (from the second diagram).

X becomes:
= One cover of Volume I + whole book of Volume II + one cover of Volume III
= ⅛ inches + 1¼ inches + ⅛ inches
= 1½ inches

Answer: 1½ inches

The SSE was the first modern stock exchange to open in China, with trading commencing in 1990. It has now grown to become the largest stock exchange in Asia and the third-largest in the world by market capitalization, which stood at RMB 50.6 trillion (US$7.8 trillion) as of September 2021. Stocks (both A-shares and B-shares), bonds, funds, and derivatives are traded on the exchange. The SEE has two trading boards, the Main Board and the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the latter more commonly known as the STAR Market. The Main Board mainly hosts large, well-established Chinese companies and lists both A-shares and B-shares.

The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothers—or maybe the next Silverado?—echoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
