"Where does it say that you have a contract with G-d to have an easy life?"

Equations and solutions

The question posed in the Hamodia Magazine this past week was to figure out the product of the equation
(x-a) x (x-b) x (x-c) x .... (x-z) = ?
(The ellipsis indicates that the equation goes on like this using all the letters of the alphabet)

Sometimes, we face a problem that seems insurmountable and we are ready to throw in the towel. We pray to G-d and turn to our rabbis for guidance to help us deal with what comes our way. Occasionally, our salvation comes in the blink of an eye. And a solution can be as easy as the one to the math problem above.

  1. The answer is obviously zero as (x-x)=0 and everything x 0 = 0. If only life were that easy!
