If I have some fraction, a/b, and an inequality stating that this is bigger than x and smaller than 1/x, and if in my base case a/b=1 and both x and 1/x approach 1 as cases become higher from the base case, do I have sufficient to state that by induction a/b=1 for all cases? The complication being that I arrived at this inequality by assuming that a/b<1, in a word, do I have enough here to say that my assumption that a/b<1 is false?

Could somebody explain the basic mechanism of Papakyriakopoulos' tower argument please.

I thought of presenting this as the promulgation of an hypothesis, but then I changed my mind, it's question and answer format.

Please answer the following questions:
1+5=?
2+4=?
3+3=?
4+2=?
5+1=?
Think of a vegetable, what is it?

There's a claim, widely circulated on the internet, that 98% of people answer "carrot". However, I have also read of a class of psychology students returning a figure of 57% and a sample returning 70% without the preliminary questions of addition. I have seen suggestions that the result is explained by the number of letters in "carrot" and by phonetic similarity of 'six' and 'sticks', however, the test is said to produce the same results in finnish.
As I'm in Japan I haven't much access to english speakers, the two I have tested said "carrot", so I intend to experiment with Japanese both in english and in japanese. So far my only test returned "pi-man" (green pepper).
Ideally I would like several volunteers to run the test in different languages, and in control groups both with and without the addition. Anyone interested?
