Guess what I get to do on Thursday, Friday, next Monday, and next Tuesday? MANDATORY STUPID TESTING GRAAAH Guys, remind me to bring my sketchbook, 2-3 novels, and 3 billion pencils. Per day. @Napalm: Alright, 3 dozen supreme pizzas for the bros, 1.21 meat pizzas for me, a vegetarian pizza for Tyler, and a cheese pizza coated in cat organs for Wits.

Are... are we even talking about math any more? I think I'm just going to try making myself a signature now.

Vector trig is easier than calculus trig. I mean, it's just sine and cosine relative to your coordinate plane, as far as I've learned. Calculus trig gets annoying because you have to chain-rule the trig functions. And if you're already doing the chain rule once or twice, it gets really easy to screw up.

But... but... I LIKE calculus... Now if it were a trig problem, I'd say "screw it, you're on your own." Trig is evil.

This. A billion times this. Meh. Just pretend to be angry about something relevant for a couple sentences -e.g. "It's a shame society insists on focusing on such banal works as Poe's 'Tell-Tale Heart' when much more worthwhile gems, such as 'The Black Cat', lie just below the surface." So in short, conclusions should sound like a channel of RAEG?

Actually, this one's derivative calculus. Maxes and mins have a derivative of zero. So: A=-2x^2+40x A'=-4x+40=0 -4x=-40 x=10 And I only wrote all that out to "show my work". Normally, I'd just look at it and do the derivative and algebra in my head.

Oh, the good ol' -b/2a trick. Forgot about that. IT'S EASIER WITH CALCULUS

This. A billion times this.

Interesting. How much are the classes going to cost you? Thankfully, only a few hundred, because my mom works at Cornell. Staff member discount, yippee. --- Sure, I can help you Spork. That is kinda a wierd problem though, since I don't know what it is asking. The question is "You have 40m of fencing to make a garden on the side of your house, with one of the sides being the wall of your house. What is the largest area the garden could be, and what would the dimensions be?" Somehow you're supposed to solve it using a quadratic equation. Thanks for helping, I have a test on this on Tuesday and I won't have time to talk to my teacher about it before then. Hmm... I could solve this with calc, but I've forgotten how to do it with basic geometry. I can get you a start though. You start with 2 formulas, perimeter and area. The perimeter formula gets messed with a bit because you have 1 wall that you're not using fencing for, so you ignore that wall in the equation. So P=2*side1 + side2 = 40m of fencing. so 2*S1 + S2 = 40. Then area, which is s1*s2 assuming you're making a rectangle. A=S1*S2 And you're trying to maximize area. Now, I would normally do this with substitution then deriving and setting A' to 0, but I know there's some devious way you're supposed to do it with algebra.

THIS POST IS IRRELEVANT TO THE REST OF THE THREAD

Edit: I reread it. Oh sweet mother of pizza, how wrong I was.

look at dog's head in wall and then read chat also, my nex gear: i saw u kids arguing about best nex setup and i thought i'd put it to rest. behold: d med cuz it looks badass ammy of defense for uber defense mith crossbow cause i cant afford rune combat bracelet to keep track of kill count black dhide so his mage att splashes more purple boots cus i like them addy sq shield for defense against mele attacks opal bolts (e) because they shoot [bleep]ing lightning, and nex is a big [bleep]ing bird. rune sword for maximum dsp on blood form. i smite and pray hawkeye cus i know he uses prayer and smite drains his prayer. thats why ppots too. monks to heal damage. sometimes i bring rock crab for more defense. so all you wannabe nexers can go cry to your mommys. got full arma? cool good for you rich high levels but i;m taking names and getting pernix pants from nex im j r kerr from texas get under me =D> Especially the number of opal bolts you have.

So apparently Windows 7 doesn't like Oregon Trail. I ain't even mad.

Nevermind, Windows is deciding to say "What? You wanna play Oregon Trail? No, go do something else. ERRORCRASH GO"

I found my old Oregon Trail disk. I'm going to input the main characters of /FG/ as the people coming with me and see if anyone dies of cholera.

*cracks knuckles* I was a Rollercoaster Tycoon freak when I was a kid. Of course, I spent most of my time dumping people in water and laughing as they drowned, but STILL. I built theme parks with the maximum number of tiles possible and the maximum loan possible. I had to rig up my mouse and keyboard because the clicking hurt my wrists (took a while to get it to say $6 million or whatever for the loan). My park instantly went into debt every time, but it also generated a lot of people coming in. I had a lot of fun drowning people and making them vomit. I'd usually kill off all the depressed-looking people. Also, making islands and putting people inside 'prisons' was funny as well. Every person that tried to leave was automatically grabbed and tossed into the prison. Then, I would execute them. ^_^ I would purposefully make a series of rollercoasters designed to launch cartfuls of people into a lake, then dump my janitors in the lake with them. In other parks, I would OCD-kill anyone who littered or even thought about vomiting in my park. Fun times.... fun times.... brb finding my RCT disk Edit: Nevermind, I found my old disk of Oregon Trail instead. Time to play the "EVERYBODY GOT MALARIA LOLS" game!

What type of math, Dax? Maybe I could help; I know basic calculus :P

On a different note, anyone have anything they want me to draw? I'm bored since HnH is acting up. And I'm asking for reasonable requests, no infinite dimension stuff like what Archi said. Also, it'll only be a sketch until I figure out which art program hates me the least and figure out how to use it.

Proof that Jagex should read this stuff a LITTLE more thoroughly....

Uhh, Halo? That's a bottlecap.

You could probably google his username, find his real name, and such. I'm pretty sure that with anyone who uses the internet as much as I do, piecing together their identity wouldn't be too hard. But I'm usually sure to cover my tracks pretty well, so if you really wanted to steal my identity or stalk me or something weird, your time is probably better spent doing something - no, ANYTHING - else. Because there's no way it'd be worth the time you'd need to spend digging; and even then I'm not sure I've made enough connections/statements to what I do IRL for it to make a difference. Stork: Making it hard to stalk one of the few people not worth stalking. :thumbup:

Bah, and here I thought you went through a basic info analysis. You were correct, by the way - you probably could've guessed anyways based on little things I've said over my time as a Tavernite :P I figure I'm safe saying that because none of you know who or where I really am... except maybe the mods with their (maybe?) IP-tracking ways. TOPIC CHANGE: Danget, HnH is being dumb again.

Not necessarily. There could be a host of other reasons I could be being allowed to go to college... And what would they be? Relatives "knowing the right people". Flukes in the system. A whole host of conspiracy theories. But you're probably right, I have always been the nerdy kid :P
