HOW TO TACKLE CALENDARS AND DATE RELATED PROBLEMS
: Govtonlineexam
Hello GOE readers , quite often we see a problem like this . If 1st april 2004 is sunday what will be 5 may 2012 and we simply dont know from where to start and how to tackle this kind of problem. Have a look to a method which would look complex in the first attempt but really fast and accurate in solving calendar and date relating problems.
CALENDARS:
================
BASICS FOR CALENDARS:
=========================
Ordinary year = 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 odd day (365/7)
Leap year = 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 odd days (366/7)
The years with multiples of 400 have 0 odd days.
1 century = 100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years =76*1 + 24 * 2 = 124 odd days = 124/7 = 17 weeks + 5 odd days. Hence, for 100 years 5 odd days
Last day of a century will be Friday, Wednesday, Monday, or Sunday.
DOOMSDAY ALGORITHM:
========================
Doomsday: Last day of February, 4th of April, 6th of June, 8th of August, 10th of October and 12th
of December, will have the same days.
Doomsday for a year = Anchor + [YY/12] + Remainder of [YY/12] + { Remainder of [YY/12] / 4}
Anchor for: 1800 1899 is: Friday
1900 1999 is: Wednesday
2000 2099 is: Tuesday
2100 2199 is: Sunday
EXAMPLES:
1) Today is Monday, what will be the day 61 days later?
Sol: Monday + 61 days = Monday + 5 odd days = Saturday
(61 / 7 = 5 odd days)
2) If 17th march 2008 was Monday, what day was, 1st April, 2012?
Sol: 17th mar08 = Mon = 17th mar12 = Mon + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = Mon + 5 = Saturday
Since: 17th mar09 will have 1 odd day; 17th mar10 will have 1 odd day, 17th mar11 will have 1 odd day and 17th mar12 will have 2 odd days (cause, 2012 is a leap year)
1st apr12 = Sat + 15 days = Sat + 1 odd day = Sunday
3) Which year will have the exact same calendar as 2009?
Sol: 2009 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 2015
2009 + number of odd days in 2010 + odd days in 2011 + and so on till the sum of the number of odd days gets equal to 7.
4) Which year will have the exact same calendar as 1983?
Sol: 1983 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 1988 will have the exact same calendar as 1983
5) What day of the week was 15th august, 1947?
Sol: Doomsday = Wednesday + (47/12) + Remainder of (47 / 12) + [Rem of (47 / 12)] /4
#NAME?
= Wednesday + 2 = Friday = 8th August, 1947 = Friday
15th August = 8th August + 7 days = Friday + 7 days = Friday + 0 odd days = Friday
Hence, 15th August 1947 was Friday
Try some random questions like what will be the day on your birthday and many more random questions to get into groove . Try solving 8-10 random question to check you understand out of the logic.
Maths Trick : Govtonlineexam
=============================
Squaring Numbers near 1000
Examples
a2 = [a (1000 a)]1000 + (1000 a) 2
9942 = (994 6)1000 + 6 2 = 988036
a2 = [a + (a 1000)]1000 + (a 1000) 2
10072 = (1007 + 7)1000 + 72 = 1014049

Usain Bolt Sets World Indoor 100-Meter Record in Warsaw National Stadium : Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt set a world indoor 100-meter record over the weekend in Warsaw, Poland. With a time of 9.98 seconds, Bolt continued his historic career on the track after an injury-plagued season thus far.

Usain Bolt Biography 1986
=======================
Usain Bolt became the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in world record times in 2008. Four years later, at the London Olympics, he became the first man to win gold medals in both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games and the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is arguably the fastest man in the world, winning three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and becoming the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in record times. Bolt won his fourth Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter race at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, beating rival Yohan Blake, who took silver. Bolt ran the race in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record, making him the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition. The win marked Bolt's second consecutive gold medal in the 100. Bolt went on to compete in the men's 200, claiming his second consecutive gold medal in that race. He is the first man to win both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games, as well as the first man to ever win back-to-back gold medals in double sprints.
* Early Life
--------------------
Usain Bolt was born in Jamaica on August 21, 1986. Both a standout cricket player and a sprinter early on, Bolt's natural speed was noticed by coaches at school, and he began to focus solely on sprinting under the tutelage of Pablo McNeil, a former Olympic sprint athlete. As early as age 14, Bolt was wowing fans of sprinting with his lightning speed, and he won his first high school championships medal in 2001, taking the silver in the 200-meter race.
At the age of 15, Bolt took his first shot at success on the world stage at the 2002 World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, where he won the 200-meter dash, making him the youngest world-junior gold medalist ever. Bolt's feats impressed the athletics world, and he received the International Association of Athletics Foundations Rising Star Award that year and soon was given the apt nickname "Lightning Bolt."
* Professional Career
-------------------------------------
Despite a nagging hamstring injury, Bolt was chosen for the Jamaican Olympic squad for the 2004 Athens Olympics. He was eliminated in the first round of the 200-meter, though, again hampered by injury.
In 2005, Usain Bolt made a serious change, replacing long-time coach Pablo McNeil with Glenn Mills. He then reached the world Top 5 rankings in 2005 and 2006. Unfortunately, injuries continued to plague the sprinter, preventing him from completing a full professional season.
The year 2007 proved to be a breakthrough one for Bolt, as he broke the national 200-meter record held for over 30 years by Donald Quarrie, and earned two silver medals at the World Championship in Osaka, Japan.

2. Sum of the squares of first n natural numbers = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
3. Sum of the cubes of first n natural numbers = [n(n+1)/2]^2
4. Sum of first n natural odd numbers = n^2
5. Average = (Sum of items)/Number of items
Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) :-
An A.P. is of the form a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, where a is called the first term and d is called the common difference
1. nth term of an A.P. tn = a + (n-1)d
2. Sum of the first n terms of an A.P. Sn = n/2[2a+(n-1)d] or Sn = n/2(first term + last term)
Geometrical Progression (G.P.) :-
A G.P. is of the form a, ar, ar2, ar3,
where a is called the first term and r is called the common ratio.
1. nth term of a G.P. tn = arn-1
2. Sum of the first n terms in a G.P. Sn = a|1-rn|/|1-r|
Permutations and Combinations :-
nPr = n!/(n-r)!
nPn = n!
nP1 = n
nCr = n!/(r! (n-r)!)
nC1 = n
nC0 = 1 = nCn
nCr = nCn-r
nCr = nPr/r!
Number of diagonals in a geometric figure of n sides = nC2-n
Tests of Divisibility :-
A number is divisible by 2 if it is an even number.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
A number is divisible by 5 if the units digit is either 5 or 0.
A number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3.
A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8.
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 10 if the units digit is 0.
A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places, is divisible by 11.
H.C.F and L.C.M :-
H.C.F stands for Highest Common Factor. The other names for H.C.F are Greatest Common Divisor (G.C.D) and Greatest Common Measure (G.C.M).
The H.C.F. of two or more numbers is the greatest number that divides each one of them exactly.
The least number which is exactly divisible by each one of the given numbers is called their L.C.M.
Two numbers are said to be co-prime if their H.C.F. is 1.
H.C.F. of fractions = H.C.F. of numerators/L.C.M of denominators
L.C.M. of fractions = G.C.D. of numerators/H.C.F of denominators
Product of two numbers = Product of their H.C.F. and L.C.M.
PERCENTAGES :-
If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by R / (100+R) * 100
If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A by R / (100-R) * 100
If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then reduction in consumption, not to increase the expenditure is : R/(100+R)*100
If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in consumption, not to decrease the expenditure is : R/(100-R)*100
PROFIT & LOSS :-
Gain = Selling Price(S.P.) Cost Price(C.P)
Loss = C.P. S.P.
Gain % = Gain * 100 / C.P.
Loss % = Loss * 100 / C.P.
S.P. = (100+Gain%)/100*C.P.
S.P. = (100-Loss%)/100*C.P.
If CP(x), Gain(y), Gain%(z). Then y = x*z/100. [Same in case of Loss]
RATIO & PROPORTIONS :-
The ratio a : b represents a fraction a/b. a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.
The equality of two different ratios is called proportion.
If a : b = c : d then a, b, c, d are in proportion. This is represented by a : b :: c : d.
In a : b = c : d, then we have a* d = b * c.
If a/b = c/d then ( a + b ) / ( a b ) = ( c + d ) / ( c d ).
TIME & WORK :-
If A can do a piece of work in n days, then As 1 days work = 1/n
If A and B work together for n days, then (A+B)s 1 dayss work = 1/n
If A is twice as good workman as B, then ratio of work done by A and B = 2:1
PIPES & CISTERNS :-
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then part of tank filled in one hour = 1/x
If a pipe can empty a full tank in y hours, then part emptied in one hour = 1/y
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours, then on opening both the pipes,
the net part filled in 1 hour = (1/x-1/y) if y>x
the net part emptied in 1 hour = (1/y-1/x) if x>y
TIME & DISTANCE :-
Distance = Speed * Time
1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec
1 m/sec = 18/5 km/hr
Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x kmph and an equal distance at y kmph. Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xy/(x+y) kmph.
PROBLEMS ON TRAINS :-
Time taken by a train x metres long in passing a signal post or a pole or a standing man is equal to the time taken by the train to cover x metres.
Time taken by a train x metres long in passing a stationary object of length y metres is equal to the time taken by the train to cover x+y metres.
Suppose two trains are moving in the same direction at u kmph and v kmph such that u>v, then their relative speed = u-v kmph.
If two trains of length x km and y km are moving in the same direction at u kmph and v kmph, where u>v, then time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train = (x+y)/(u-v) hours.
Suppose two trains are moving in opposite directions at u kmph and v kmph. Then, their relative speed = (u+v) kmph.
If two trains of length x km and y km are moving in the opposite directions at u kmph and v kmph, then time taken by the trains to cross each other = (x+y)/(u+v)hours.
If two trains start at the same time from two points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b hours in reaching B and A respectively, then As speed : Bs speed = (b : a)
SIMPLE & COMPOUND INTERESTS :-
Let P be the principal, R be the interest rate percent per annum, and N be the time period.
Simple Interest = (P*N*R)/100
Compound Interest = P(1 + R/100)^N P
Amount = Principal + Interest
when rate of interest time n principal are constant den principal=(C.I.-S.I.)*(100/R)^N
LOGARITHMS :-
If a^m = x , then m = loga(x).
Properties :
logx(x) = 1
logx(1) = 0
loga(x*y) = loga(x) + loga(y)
loga(x/y) = log ax log ay
loga(x) = 1/logx(a)
loga(x^p) = p(loga(x))
loga(x) = logb(x)/logb(a)
Note : Logarithms for base 1 does not exist.
AREA & PERIMETER :-
Shape Area Perimeter
Circle (Radius)2 2(Radius)
Square (side)2 4(side)
Rectangle length*breadth 2(length+breadth)
Area of a triangle = 1/2*Base*Height or
Area of a triangle = (s(s-(s-b)(s-c)) where a,b,c are the lengths of the sides and s = (a+b+c)/2
Area of a parallelogram = Base * Height
Area of a rhombus = 1/2(Product of diagonals)
Area of a trapezium = 1/2(Sum of parallel sides)(distance between the parallel sides)
Area of a quadrilateral = 1/2(diagonal)(Sum of sides)
Area of a regular hexagon = 6(3/4)(side)2
Area of a ring = (R2-r2) where R and r are the outer and inner radii of the ring.
Area of a circle=r^2 or d^2/4
Area of semi-circle=r^2/2
Area of a quadrant of a circle=r^2/4
Area enclosed by two concentric circles=(R^2-r^2)
Area of a sector=/180 degree *r
No of revolutions completed by a rotating wheel in 1 minute=distance moved in 1 minute/circumference

Those persons who do not have any of the officially valid documents can open small accounts with banks. A small account can be opened on the basis of a self-attested photograph and either a signature or thumb print in the presence of an official of the bank.
Public sector banks, according to an official release, will organise more than 60,000 camps in rural and urban areas on the launch day. The scheme seeks to provide two accounts to 7.5 crore identified households by August 2018.
On the occasion of the launch, Prime Minister will also visit an exhibition on Technology and Financial Literacy will be organised in the capital.

For instance, if the interest rate increases by 50 basis points bsp), then it means that interest rate has been increase by 50%. One percentage point is broken down into 100 basis points. Therefore, an increase from 2% to 3% is an increase of one percentage point or 100 basis points.
2. CRR: Cash reserve Ratio (CRR) is the amount of funds that the banks have to keep with RBI. If RBI decides to increase the percent of this, the available amount with the banks comes down. RBI is using this method (increase of CRR rate), to drain out the excessive money from the banks. The current rate is 4%, which means for a cash deposit of Rs. 100, the bank has to park 4 rupee with the central bank.
3. Repo rate: Repo rate is the policy rate and is part of RBIs Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF). It is the rate at which commercial banks borrow from the RBI by selling their securities or financial assets to the RBI or a short-period of time. It comes with an agreement that the sold securities will be repurchased by the commercial banks from the RBI at a future date at predetermined price. The repo rate is used by the central bank to increase liquidity in the system.
4. Reverse repo rate: Reverse Repo Rate is also a part of LAF. It is the rate of interest at which the central bank borrows funds from other banks for a short duration. The banks deposit their short term excess funds with the central bank and earn interest on it. This rate is used by the central bank to absorb liquidity from the economy. Generally it is one percentage less than the Repo rate.
5. Bank rate: The only way the bank rate is different from the repo rate is that the bank rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the central bank without any sale of securities. It is generally for a longer period of time
6. Marginal Standing Facility: The Reserve Bank of India in its monetary policy for 2011-12 introduced the marginal standing facility under which banks could borrow funds from RBI when there is a considerable shortfall of liquidity. This measure has been introduced by RBI to regulate short-term asset liability mismatches more effectively. Under this facility, banks can borrow up to 1% of their net demand.
7. Liquidity Adjustment Facility: Under this facility, banks borrow from the central bank by pledging government securities.
8. Statutory Liquidity Ratio: This is the percentage of deposits that banks must mandatorily hold in the form of government bonds. SLR bonds are liquid assets that can be sold at a short notice to meet any unexpected demand from depositors.

Hello GOE readers , quite often we see a problem like this . If 1st april 2004 is sunday what will be 5 may 2012 and we simply dont know from where to start and how to tackle this kind of problem. Have a look to a method which would look complex in the first attempt but really fast and accurate in solving calendar and date relating problems.
1 century = 100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years =76*1 + 24 * 2 = 124 odd days = 124/7 = 17 weeks + 5 odd days. Hence, for 100 years 5 odd days
Doomsday: Last day of February, 4th of April, 6th of June, 8th of August, 10th of October and 12th
Doomsday for a year = Anchor + [YY/12] + Remainder of [YY/12] + { Remainder of [YY/12] / 4}
Sol: 17th mar08 = Mon = 17th mar12 = Mon + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = Mon + 5 = Saturday
Since: 17th mar09 will have 1 odd day; 17th mar10 will have 1 odd day, 17th mar11 will have 1 odd day and 17th mar12 will have 2 odd days (cause, 2012 is a leap year)
2009 + number of odd days in 2010 + odd days in 2011 + and so on till the sum of the number of odd days gets equal to 7.
Sol: Doomsday = Wednesday + (47/12) + Remainder of (47 / 12) + [Rem of (47 / 12)] /4
15th August = 8th August + 7 days = Friday + 7 days = Friday + 0 odd days = Friday
Try some random questions like what will be the day on your birthday and many more random questions to get into groove . Try solving 8-10 random question to check you understand out of the logic.

Usain Bolt Sets World Indoor 100-Meter Record in Warsaw National Stadium : Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt set a world indoor 100-meter record over the weekend in Warsaw, Poland. With a time of 9.98 seconds, Bolt continued his historic career on the track after an injury-plagued season thus far.
Usain Bolt became the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in world record times in 2008. Four years later, at the London Olympics, he became the first man to win gold medals in both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games and the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is arguably the fastest man in the world, winning three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and becoming the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in record times. Bolt won his fourth Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter race at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, beating rival Yohan Blake, who took silver. Bolt ran the race in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record, making him the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition. The win marked Bolt's second consecutive gold medal in the 100. Bolt went on to compete in the men's 200, claiming his second consecutive gold medal in that race. He is the first man to win both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games, as well as the first man to ever win back-to-back gold medals in double sprints.
Usain Bolt was born in Jamaica on August 21, 1986. Both a standout cricket player and a sprinter early on, Bolt's natural speed was noticed by coaches at school, and he began to focus solely on sprinting under the tutelage of Pablo McNeil, a former Olympic sprint athlete. As early as age 14, Bolt was wowing fans of sprinting with his lightning speed, and he won his first high school championships medal in 2001, taking the silver in the 200-meter race.
At the age of 15, Bolt took his first shot at success on the world stage at the 2002 World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, where he won the 200-meter dash, making him the youngest world-junior gold medalist ever. Bolt's feats impressed the athletics world, and he received the International Association of Athletics Foundations Rising Star Award that year and soon was given the apt nickname "Lightning Bolt."
Despite a nagging hamstring injury, Bolt was chosen for the Jamaican Olympic squad for the 2004 Athens Olympics. He was eliminated in the first round of the 200-meter, though, again hampered by injury.
In 2005, Usain Bolt made a serious change, replacing long-time coach Pablo McNeil with Glenn Mills. He then reached the world Top 5 rankings in 2005 and 2006. Unfortunately, injuries continued to plague the sprinter, preventing him from completing a full professional season.
The year 2007 proved to be a breakthrough one for Bolt, as he broke the national 200-meter record held for over 30 years by Donald Quarrie, and earned two silver medals at the World Championship in Osaka, Japan.

Usain Bolt Sets World Indoor 100-Meter Record in Warsaw National Stadium : Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt set a world indoor 100-meter record over the weekend in Warsaw, Poland. With a time of 9.98 seconds, Bolt continued his historic career on the track after an injury-plagued season thus far.
Usain Bolt became the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in world record times in 2008. Four years later, at the London Olympics, he became the first man to win gold medals in both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games and the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is arguably the fastest man in the world, winning three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and becoming the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in record times. Bolt won his fourth Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter race at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, beating rival Yohan Blake, who took silver. Bolt ran the race in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record, making him the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition. The win marked Bolt's second consecutive gold medal in the 100. Bolt went on to compete in the men's 200, claiming his second consecutive gold medal in that race. He is the first man to win both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games, as well as the first man to ever win back-to-back gold medals in double sprints.
Usain Bolt was born in Jamaica on August 21, 1986. Both a standout cricket player and a sprinter early on, Bolt's natural speed was noticed by coaches at school, and he began to focus solely on sprinting under the tutelage of Pablo McNeil, a former Olympic sprint athlete. As early as age 14, Bolt was wowing fans of sprinting with his lightning speed, and he won his first high school championships medal in 2001, taking the silver in the 200-meter race.
At the age of 15, Bolt took his first shot at success on the world stage at the 2002 World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, where he won the 200-meter dash, making him the youngest world-junior gold medalist ever. Bolt's feats impressed the athletics world, and he received the International Association of Athletics Foundations Rising Star Award that year and soon was given the apt nickname "Lightning Bolt."
Despite a nagging hamstring injury, Bolt was chosen for the Jamaican Olympic squad for the 2004 Athens Olympics. He was eliminated in the first round of the 200-meter, though, again hampered by injury.
In 2005, Usain Bolt made a serious change, replacing long-time coach Pablo McNeil with Glenn Mills. He then reached the world Top 5 rankings in 2005 and 2006. Unfortunately, injuries continued to plague the sprinter, preventing him from completing a full professional season.
The year 2007 proved to be a breakthrough one for Bolt, as he broke the national 200-meter record held for over 30 years by Donald Quarrie, and earned two silver medals at the World Championship in Osaka, Japan.

Usain Bolt Sets World Indoor 100-Meter Record in Warsaw National Stadium : Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt set a world indoor 100-meter record over the weekend in Warsaw, Poland. With a time of 9.98 seconds, Bolt continued his historic career on the track after an injury-plagued season thus far.
Usain Bolt became the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in world record times in 2008. Four years later, at the London Olympics, he became the first man to win gold medals in both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games and the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is arguably the fastest man in the world, winning three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and becoming the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in record times. Bolt won his fourth Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter race at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, beating rival Yohan Blake, who took silver. Bolt ran the race in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record, making him the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games competition. The win marked Bolt's second consecutive gold medal in the 100. Bolt went on to compete in the men's 200, claiming his second consecutive gold medal in that race. He is the first man to win both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games, as well as the first man to ever win back-to-back gold medals in double sprints.
Usain Bolt was born in Jamaica on August 21, 1986. Both a standout cricket player and a sprinter early on, Bolt's natural speed was noticed by coaches at school, and he began to focus solely on sprinting under the tutelage of Pablo McNeil, a former Olympic sprint athlete. As early as age 14, Bolt was wowing fans of sprinting with his lightning speed, and he won his first high school championships medal in 2001, taking the silver in the 200-meter race.
At the age of 15, Bolt took his first shot at success on the world stage at the 2002 World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, where he won the 200-meter dash, making him the youngest world-junior gold medalist ever. Bolt's feats impressed the athletics world, and he received the International Association of Athletics Foundations Rising Star Award that year and soon was given the apt nickname "Lightning Bolt."
In 2005, Usain Bolt made a serious change, replacing long-time coach Pablo McNeil with Glenn Mills. He then reached the world Top 5 rankings in 2005 and 2006. Unfortunately, injuries continued to plague the sprinter, preventing him from completing a full professional season.
