Re: The Riddle Thread

Doctor is his mother.

Just to reiterate my puzzle (which didn't get the answer I wanted). You have four toothpicks arranged in a plus sign. Move one toothpick to make a square.

Re: The Riddle Thread

Technically, no. But it does make sense. There is another answer though.

What if I said toothpicks?

Re: AP Statistics

Statistics was easy for me (got a 5 on the AP Exam). However, I took it in 8th grade. Most kids in my class struggled with it, so I wouldn't recommend it if you didn't need to take it. There isn't a...

Re: The Riddle Thread

x is negative 3.

You have four pencils of the same length arranged so it looks like a plus sign. (otherwise known as + ).

Moving only one pencil, make a square.

Now that's just irrelevant. An apple cannot be a percentage of something else because it is an object that exists in a certain state. If an apple is larger or smaller than another apple, that makes...

Re: Infinity * Zero = Any Number ARGUE HERE

Okay, Infinity - infinity != 0. (!= means not equal to).

Since infinity is not a value, we must use calculus. Take the examples:

lim (x->inf) e^x-x = infinity.

lim(x->inf) x-e^x = -infinity....

Re: Infinity * Zero = Any Number ARGUE HERE

Statements that can't be proven but are true are also called postulates, so 1+1=2 is a postulate. It is "obvious", yet it cannot be "proven". It's just like saying that there can only exists one line...

If that is false, then the escape velocity must be less than the speed of light, so technically light cannot escape a black hole, yet it can't escape it....

Re: Infinity * Zero = Any Number ARGUE HERE

Isn't that a bad analogy? By saying that infinity - infinity can be anything - anything, you basically equate infinity to anything, which is false.

So basically we're here because we said something that wasn't accepted, so we invaded on another topic, which led to a dead end, so now we've practically taken control of Iraq. So much for democracy.
