Whyte notation. The Whyte notation is a classification method for steam locomotives, and some internal combustion locomotives and electric locomotives, by wheel arrangement. It was devised by Frederick Methvan Whyte, [2] and came into use in the early twentieth century following a December 1900 editorial in American Engineer and Railroad Journal.
The number of wheels a land vehicle has can vary widely, from just zero wheels or one wheel to many. The number of wheels a vehicle has can have a significant impact on its stability, maneuverability, and performance. This list aims to provide an overview of the various types of land vehicles categorized by their number of wheels.
Key Number Wheel (or a Power Number Wheel) is a wheel in which one or more numbers (key numbers or power numbers) appear in every combination of the wheel. Pick 5, 7 numbers wheel, with 2 key numbers (1 and 2), 2 if 2 and 3 if 4 for the full set and 4 if 5 for the filtered set:
Roulette (named after the French word meaning "little wheel") is a casino game which was likely developed from the Italian game Biribi. In the game, a player may choose to place a bet on a single number, various groupings of numbers, the color red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if the number is high or low.
Wheel theory. A diagram of a wheel, as the real projective line with a point at nullity (denoted by ⊥). A wheel is a type of algebra (in the sense of universal algebra) where division is always defined. In particular, division by zero is meaningful. The real numbers can be extended to a wheel, as can any commutative ring.
A wheel graph with n vertices can also be defined as the 1-skeleton of an (n – 1)-gonal pyramid. Some authors [1] write W n to denote a wheel graph with n vertices (n ≥ 4); other authors [2] instead use W n to denote a wheel graph with n + 1 vertices (n ≥ 3), which is formed by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a cycle of ...
Players wager on the numbers 1 through 6. If the number appears on one of the dice in the winning segment, the dealer pays at 1 to 1; on two of the dice, 2 to 1; on all three of the dice, 3 to 1. One example of a dice wheel, manufactured by H. C. Evans & Co. of Chicago (or its successor), is divided into 54 segments. Each of the triples appears ...
Ace-to-five lowball gets its name because the best hand at that form is 5-4-3-2-A. In ace-to-five lowball straights and flushes do not prevent a hand from being low. You win by simply having the five lowest cards. Deuce-to seven lowball gets its name because the best hand at that form is 7-5-4-3-2 (not of the same suit). [1]
