I believe it's called a full stop. Not period. Silly Americans. :shame:

Haha, you suckers. You and your "school". Oooooh.

Are you leaving all together, or just retiring your modship ?

Awwww, not Tripsis. :cry:

Can I add my name to the list ?

fastortoise, that's what I did. You have to solve it relative to the pattern number, rather than number of tiles.

All you people SUCK ! :P Lolwut ? Not the sequence of the pattern but the number of tiles. So... Pattern 1 has two vertical tiles. 2² + (2-1) = 5 What's wrong ? I think I read the actual question wrong. :wall: In that case, for the pattern number - the equation is - n² + 3n + 1 wongtong, your method is, long, drawn-out and unnecessarily complicated.

:lol: I was never good at maths either.

If that's the case; have you read Lolita? Really it's just Nabokov making sweet and beautiful love to the English language. Yes I have. I really wish Kubrick hadn't made the film. As for the book ...

wongtong what the hell did you do ? The [general] correct equation for the number of tiles in any one set is n² + (n-1) Where n is the number of tiles arranged vertically. So, with 461 such tiles. Solve for n. So, the answer would be 21 [for n] EDIT: Explained 21² + (21-1) = 441 + 20 = 461 But you already knew that. :P To solve n² + (n-1) I usually just draw a graph. Too long to solve it algebraically.

Yes, it's good. Brave New World :thumbup: I read it this summer. It was quite interesting. I liked 1984 better though. Why does this thread always go back to those two books? I disliked Nineteen Eighty-Four. Although I really enjoy Orwell's other classics [Animal Farm being my favourite] something about 1984 was just off. I prefer writing style over content.

As did I when I was young and wild, nay' but a wee one. When we did have cable, only thing TNT was good for was Popeye. Toot Toot ! Its dyanimte :D Not when I watched Popeye.

That looks doctored. Some part of me just doesn't want to believe it ...

You're flattering yourself. :P I think that was a really douchey comment, but I can't tell. Now that I think about it.. :-k I'm strong to the finish coz' I eats' all me' spinach, I'm Popeye the sailor man - TOOT TOOT. Every single time I get my hopes up, but it never happens. Oh well. Why all the popeye posts? What do you mean "all the" Popeye posts ? There've only been two.

Knowing you, it's probably from the Office. And it does sound familiar ... :-k Hmmm, my flaws - I don't have too many.

Where have some of the older mods been dissapearing ? Assasin, Zargo, a few others ?

teehee. Hey, you know it's true.
