How many squares are there in a Chess board ?

When you are asking this question to any people, they immediately reply you as 64. But people forget that even the chess board is a square. In addition to that, four squares can form a square.. Like this it comes in a combination way. So, the calculation goes like this

  • Number of Squares in Chess board = ( (n * (n+1) * (2n+1) ) / 6 )
  • For Chess board, n=8
  • Number of Squares = (8 * 9 * 17 ) / 6 = (72 * 17) / 6 = 12 * 17 =204
So, Number of Squares in Chess board = 204 Squares.

Tips to avoid Snoring

It recommends working out whether snoring comes from the nose or throat, reports the Daily Express. If you can make a snoring noise with your mouth open and closed, try this: stick your tongue out as far as it will go and grip it between your teeth.Try to make a snoring noise. If it is reduced, you are probably a "tongue-base snorer", meaning your tongue is vibrating and causing the problem. If you are a "nose snorer" you snore with a closed mouth, it says.

  • Sleep on your side
    • The theory is that when we lie on our backs the tongue and muscles in the throat collapse, constricting the airway and causing snoring.
  • Higher pillows
    • This aims to keep the airways open by supporting the neck so the throat is less constricted. It works fairly well until you fall asleep and slump down in the bed.
  • Breathe Right Nasal Strips
    • These are supposed to open your nostrils from the outside and they certainly do seem to do this. They can also provide temporary relief from nasal congestion and stuffiness caused by colds and allergies.
  • Snoreeze Oral Strips
    • These dissolving mint-flavoured strips target the main cause of snoring and are ideal if you tend to snore more when lying on your back. They contain a time-release formula, which coats the back of the throat throughout the night and reduces the vibrations of the soft tissues, helping to stop snoring.
  • Snoreeze Throat Spray
    • This lubricates and tones the soft tissues at the back of the throat that vibrate and make you snore.
  • Nozovent
    • This is a piece of flexible plastic which you push into your nostrils to make them wider and allow easier breathing. It looks like something from the Spanish Inquisition but users report good results.
  • SomnoGuard
    • This is a bit like the gumshield worn by a rugby player, but it is reported to produce good results. The idea is to bring your lower jaw and tongue forward, making more space for breathing. The drawback is that it takes sometime to get used to and is costly.
  • Rhynil Herbal Spray
    • The British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association says its herbal nasal spray shrinks the lining of the nostril, creating more space to breathe. It also tightens the tissue of the roof of the mouth, making it less likely to vibrate. It smells pleasant and a friend who tried it said it reduced snoring significantly.
  • Abstinence
    • You should cut down on cigarettes or, better still, give up completely. Also, try to have your last alcoholic drink at least four hours before you go to bed. (ANI)

ATM issues

ATM makes our transaction much better in the last decade.

  1. No more waiting in queues in bank, 
  2. you can save your time,
  3.  you can even collect your money at anytime, anyplace....
 Since it has all these capabilities, ATM became a huge success in the market. But theres a common problem we were facing nowadays in ATM. If you need to withdraw the money on Sundays, its becoming little tougher.

Because,Saturday is the half working day for bank, so the bank officials will refill the ATM's on Saturday Morning. People use ATM more in weekends.
So the amount would be emptied in Sunday afternoon itself. So what the people do,for the rest of the day, if they need money. This issue should be taken care and a proper remedy has to be provided to the public.
Because this issue is annoying, so please take  action on this immediately .

1,2,6,42,1806,.... = ?

1,2,6,42,1806,.... = ?
Theres a Logic behind that, but its very simple.
Consider the number as a, then the next number would be a *( a + 1). In the same manner 
1* (1 + 1) = 2;  2*(2 + 1)= 6; 6 * (6 + 1)= 42; 42 * (42 + 1)= 1806; 
.
.
1806 * (1806 + 1 )= 3263442. Simple isn't it.

5+3+2 = 151022

5+3+2 = 151022
9+2+4 = 183652
8+6+3 = 482466
5+4+5 = 202541
Then,
7+2+5 =   ?
.
.
Here goes the Logic
a + b + c =  (a*b) (a*c) (a*b+ a*c -b)
So, for example 5 + 3 + 2 = (5 *3)  (5*2) (5*3 + 5*2  - 3 )= 15 10 22
So you guys got the logic..
Then find it for 7+2+5=?
.
.
.
I knew you guys are brilliant... The answer is... 143547. Cool
