An urn contains $4$ green balls and $6$ blue balls. A second urn contains $16$ green balls and $N$ blue balls. A single ball is drawn at random from each urn. The probability that both balls are of the same color is $0.58$. Find $N$.
In this diagram a scheme is indicated for associating all the points of segment $ \overline{AB}$ with those of segment $ \overline{A'B'}$, and reciprocally. To described this association scheme analytically, let $ x$ be the distance from a point $ P$ on $ \overline{AB}$ to $ D$ and let $ y$ be the distance from the associated point $ P'$ of $ \overline{A'B'}$ to $ D'$. Then for any pair of associated points, if $ x \equal{} a,\, x \plus{} y$ equals:

From a police station situated on a straight road innite in both directions, a thief has stolen a police car. Its maximal speed equals $90$% of the maximal speed of a police cruiser. When the theft is discovered some time later, a policeman starts to pursue the thief on a cruiser. However, he does not know in which direction along the road the thief has gone, nor does he know how long ago the car has been stolen. Is it possible for the policeman to catch the thief?
