Zk从某处看来的问题。一个正四面体和一个棱长与之相等的正四棱锥,将正三角形的面贴合面,棱贴合棱,得到多少面体?

Question from Zk from somewhere ...If we put a face of a regular tetrahedron, to one of the triangle faces of a square pyramid with equilateral triangular sides and same edge length, face to face, edges to edges, then how many faces are there?

Ticketing Price of Beijing Metro 北京地铁的票价

降价,但是没有更高的运能——薄利,却没办法多销。其结果就是总收益降低。的确,没有哪个地铁系统能仅靠自身运营就盈利的,但总不至于连运营成本也打算要财政补贴吧。
要么财政把票价全给补贴了吧,反正政府有的是信用,永远能借到钱。

Lower the price, but no more capacity. Yes, there's no subway system get profit by saling tickets. But should everything including running costs be paid financially?
Finance comes from Tax.
