Week 1 Project - Problem Solving in Illinois Overview: In your Week 1 Project you will be asked to examine information about Superman and Chicago to write and solve algebraic expressions. Finish one section of this project each day and submit your completed project in Lesson 5. You may print this syllabus or save a copy to the hard drive of your computer. It might be a good idea to do both. If you save a copy, be sure to note the location you have saved it to so you can recall it later. Day One Hometown of Superman The town of Metropolis, Illinois, was founded in 1839. It is a small town located in the southern part of the state on the Ohio River. Metropolis has an approximate population of 6500. 1. In the first Superman comic book, Superman arrives in a town named Metropolis. This comic book appeared on shelves n years after the 1839 founding of Metropolis, Illinois. Write an algebraic expression to represent the year the first Superman comic appeared. 2. Metropolis was officially declared the hometown of Superman (n - 65) years after the first comic appeared. (This is the same n from #1.) Use your expression from part #1 to write a new algebraic expression representing the year that Metropolis was declared Superman's hometown. Simplify your expression by combining like terms. 3. Metropolis, Illinois, was declared Superman's hometown in 1972. Use this information and your expression from #2 to solve for n. Day Two 4. A 7-foot-tall statue of Superman was purchased in 1986. In 1993, a 15-foot tall bronze statue costing about $100,000 replaced it. The 15-foot statue cost 100 times more than the original statue. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of the original statue. 5. In 1948 a movie serial called The Adventures of Superman appeared. It had e episodes that were each about 16 minutes long. The total running time of the serial was 244 minutes. Write and solve an equation to find the number of episodes in the serial. (Round to the nearest whole number.) Day Three Chicago Skyline At the time it was built, the Sears Tower in Chicago was the tallest building in the world. Category Height (ft) Height of highest occupied floor 1431 Height to top of roof 1450 Height to top of spire or antenna 1730 6. The height of the Sears Tower from the main entrance on the east side of the building to the top of the roof is 1450 ft. but the height from the west side of the tower to the roof is 1454 ft. This is because the street on the west side of the tower is y feet lower than the street on the east side. Write and solve an equation to find the difference in feet in the levels of the two streets. 7. Write and solve an equation to find the distance d from the top of the roof to the top of the antenna. Day Four The Sears Tower isn't the only tall building in Chicago. The John Hancock Center and the Aon Center are also among the world's tallest buildings. 8. The highest indoor swimming pool in the United States is on the 44th floor of the Hancock Center. Assume that each floor of the Hancock Center is h ft tall, and give the expression that tells the height at which the pool is located. 9. The Hancock Center has 46 residential floors, which is fewer than the total number of floors divided by 2. Using j for the total number of floors in the Hancock Center, write and solve an inequality that expresses the possible number of stories the Hancock Center has. Day Five Here is your final problem for the Week 1 Project: 10. The Superman statue in Metropolis is 15 feet tall. The roof of the Sears Tower in Chicago is 1450 feet from the ground. Write and solve an equation to find how many Superman statues, stacked on top of one another, it would take to reach the roof of the Sears tower. Check over your work for all 10 problems in the Week 1 project and then submit to your instructor.

Does anyone know who played Lord Nor?
In 'The New Adventures of Superman' TV series who played Lord Nor? (hope i've spelt that right!)

What's the most powerful sci-fi/fantasy weapon you can think of?(must make some sense, original ideas welcome)?
PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH OF THESE 8 CATEGORIES THE WEAPON BELONGS IN. You don't have to top my examples. If anyone knows the names of any of the unnamed books I have mentioned please tell me. CATEGORY 1: MAGICAL/MYSTICAL (must be usable by individuals without magical powers) EXAMPLE; Wonder woman's lasso of truth. CATEGORY 2:MELEE Example Light Saber CATEGORY 3: WAR MACHINES/WEAPONS PLATFORMS EXAMPLES; The Iron Giant Appeared in movie of same name, and was unstoppable by cold-war tachnology, exept the atomic bomb, (but even then it repaired itself afterwards). BOLOs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_(tank) CATEGORY 4 LONG-RANGE: EXAMPLES; a futuristic gun that was never named in a sci-fi book that could make its own bullets from raw materials including ones that resembled swarms of tiny beetles that sought out thier targets by dna planet-wide, had auto-targeting systems with an advanced 360 degree scanner that made it impossible to surprise the user even in his sleep. and an ai interface that knew and taught advanced military strategy, This gun was smuggled onto a war-torn plant where it fell into the hands of a homeless boy, who proceeded to use it to literally take over that planet. A ship-mounted cannon mentioned in a sci-fi book that I have forgotten the name of that used a combination of magnetism and artificial gravity to accelerate metallic projectiles to light speed resulting in an almost complete mass-to energy conversion on impact with target. CATEGORY 5, OTHER: EXAMPLES Green Lantern's Ring, Silver surfer's surfboard, Cerebro (from X-men) CATEGORY 6 MASS DESTRUCTION: EXAMPLES A satellite laser cannon from "The New Adventures of Superman" that could reduce targets of unspecified maximum size to ashes (the man who created it planned to destroy West Virginia, but his more moderate accomplice suggested Antarctica) An original idea of my own of twin laser-like beams that converge on a single point, from which would grow a sphere that can be a few feet to several hundred miles wide and neutralizes the molecular bonds of anything caught within that sphere, thus reducing everything within that sphere to it's component elements, with no explosions or collateral damage. called the molecular disruptor (please suggest better names) CATEGORY 7: SUPER MASS DESTRUCTION EXAMPLES Death Star, de-planetizer (from Ratchet&Clank),Drej Mothership (from TITAN A.E.) CATEGORY 8 ULTIMATE MASS DESTRUCTION: EXAMPLES A mathematical formula developed in a sci-fi book that I have forgotten the name of originally developed to re-stabilize a star that also demonstrated how a series of specifically timed laser cannon strikes on any stable star could artificially trigger that star to go nova and strerilize a sphere several light-years wide. A device from another forgotten sci-fi book that neutralized gravity on any object, some terrorists in that book threatened to use it on a star, thus cancelling the balance that keeps a star from exploding and releasing all of its stored energy of a million year period at once, a character in the book said it would sterilize everything within a spherical 200 light-year radius. An original idea of my own from a NOVA program on hypernovas which occur when a star larger than the ones that make supernovas explode, these stars begin the normal explosion phese of a supernaova but during the contraction phase which makes a black hole, the gamma energy is focused into two concentrated beams by the intense gravitational forces of this contraction. According to NOVA, these beams would concentrate all the radiation of the star explosion into two laser-like beams at opposite poles of the contracting blackhole that has an effective range of several thousand light years and can sterilize any solarsystems caught in the beam's path,THIS IS WHAT SCIENTISTS BELIEVE TO BE A FACT!!! My idea is simply this, what if an extremely advanced alien race could artificially trigger and aim hypernovae? Another original idea and THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON I CAN THINK OF:An extremely advanced gravity inversion device that can temporarily alter gravity from an attractive force to a fluctuating attractive/repulsive force aimed at the super massive black hole that most scientists believe to be at the center of every galaxy. This would result in a spreading shock wave of opposing gravitational forces that would tear apart stars and planets in the innermost sections of said galaxy, mid-way out from the center, the gravitational forces would be strong enough to trigger most of the stars in that reigon to go nova, vaporizing any planets orbiting those stars, in the outer portions of the main galactic body, severe fluctuations in radiation output of many stars would be triggered sterilizing most planets, the gravitational forces would also strip those star systems of thier respective planets, making any planets that were not sterilized totally uninhabitable. Finally, in the out
