Answer to Question 1

BEE = 66 + 13.7 x wt + 5 x ht - 6.8 x age
= 66 + 13.7 x 60.5 + 5 x 182.9 - 6.8 x 73
= 66 + 828.8 + 914.5 - 496.4
= 1312.9 x stress factor

Answer to Question 2

They are the same for all three classifications. This should speak for itself for the sufficiency of the RDAs. There are many individuals in their eighties and nineties who are very active while some in their sixties are vegetating in nursing homes. Do they have the same nutritional requirements?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
