Ewww, statistics. This should be pretty simple.

Heh at RT's post. Someone should try to find a song to answer his post and mine, but it isn't necessary if it can't be done. Technically, thanks to Andromeda being precise on word pronunciation ( ), we should be going with mine instead of RT's.

'Saying' vs. 'Sayin'' is up to interpretation. Personally, I think it's the latter. Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again. Relax. I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. O.K. Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go. There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.

My thread, full song length is fine. And gah. *thinks*

Iron Maiden - Fortunes of War After the war and now that they've sent us homeward I can't help but feel that I'm on my own No one can see just what this conflict has done to The minds of the man who are on their way home I'm scared for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded So how can I face the torment alone The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares I lay there and sweat until it gets light... People say "Don't worry" Say that time's a perfect healer That the nightmares they will come to pass Can't hear what they're saying I am living in my own world And I'm feeling trance like all the time I hear voices in my head Could I really be going crazy In the night the visions seem so real Do you care if you live or die When you laugh are you really crying You're not sure what's real anymore Fortunes of war Fortunes of war no pain anymore Sometimes I wake I feel that my spirit's broken I wonder if I've the strength... to carry on.

Er, a what? But yeah, it was a pretty serious "This is worth 20% of your grade, just like every other test, test." I'm annoyed with math. Well, my class. They're on chapter 8, retaking the chapter 7 test, while I'm almost done with chapter 11, starting 12 tomorrow. *sigh* /rant Woon, yeah, if she has answers, proper ones, I'll be amazed.

LIS, hoorah, you totally owe me one then. Magic Luver, that was meant to be done like 5 pages ago. Fairly certain you've been replaced.

They were test questions...

Got the PM too. Can't remember if I clicked/opened the link or not though.. Rookie, can you read our PMs?

Thank you! Now off to complain to my teacher, especially if she marks them wrong. (They were test questions. )

Aww, that's not very nice. I'm not very good, honest.

Why not though? I have faith (shh, forbidden word ) in one thing: that no matter what happens, as time goes on science will advance. I don't think the universe is unsolvable at all. It just might take a while. On a related note: I don't think the Theory of Everything will be a load of simple equations. I'm not convinced everything is connected.

So I had to look up what nihilism was, and I disagree with what you called me completely. See definition three. I actually believe in our consciousness and the universe being the way it is. Honestly, the "this is only a hypothetical dream" "we're not really here" "we're just someone else's mind experiment" view annoys me. We're here, and that's important. The universe, a big, grand, wonderful thing is somehow important. If it were to disappear, magically, no big deal to be honest, 'cos it'll just be like before it existed. I'm an empiricist if anything, just one who thinks if we were to fall over the sides of the universe someday, no big deal. But yeah, while we're here. Discover as much as possible. *edit* Ah, unless you meant nihilism as the third definition here. Then yeah, that may be slightly true..

I still think I'd need at least one other angle measure sin, cos, and tan to work. 272 is 729, and without knowing angle measures, a and b could be, well, anything.

*shrugs* Those are the numbers I was given. And yeah, tbh, they make no sense.

IDNE: The red lines are NOT parallel. The black ones are. SG: No idea how to solve for the intersecting line. 'Cos it's like, there are *no* angle measures. Meaning the angle at the bottom left could be anything, meaning there are infinitely many solutions. At least I think...

Distances. If they were angles, that would be *a lot* easier. The red lines also are NOT parallel. They just happened to be drawn that way. Nope. 'y' and the unmarked segment are parallel though. (At least I think. That's really all the information we got.)

So.. I'm sure everyone's heard that a million times. But.. yeah, I'm really at a loss. Perhaps the numbers are wrong? Find the value of x. Alright, here was my attempt. It's known that when two transversals intersect parallel lines, they do so proportionately. 3x /4x = 3x-7/5x + 8 Cross multiply. 15x2 + 24x = 12x2 - 28x (I look at that and start thinking "Oh god.. quadratic thingy. That was from like two years ago?") 3x2 + 52x + 0 = 0 (Well, technically yeah. I just don't if I'm allowed to do that? Anyway. Plug it into the formula.) -52 +- SQRT 522 - 4(3)(0) / 2(3) -52 +- 52 /6 Solutions are 0 and -17.333... But if you plug those back in to the original picture, it doesn't work. And I can't figure out what to do. >_> Okay, this one isn't really the math being wrong, more of me not knowing wtf to do. To be honest, I think a number's missing, 'cos I'm not convinced it's possible... Find the values of x and y. x = 10, no problem there. But I'm lost on y.

Well it's not really like the universe has a choice, is it? It's not going to wake-up one day and decide to commit suicide. It's not 'bothering' to exist, it simply does. If you mean, "What's the point of us not destroying the universe", it's that that would be an entirely stupid and pointless thing to do. Why ruin something so natural and beautiful? Life is kinda pointless. The only reason I bother to exist is to learn things I haven't yet, and wonder if it gets more exciting. :/

Hey guys, I have a field trip tomorrow from 9-6, so probably won't be on until 6:30ish. As far as I'm aware, the day ends at 6:00?

SomeGuy, I'm still not seeing your reason for saying the universe is ordered. Is it because there's a bunch of complex beings running around, or something more profound? Edit: color

PM sent.

Doubt this is right, but, auktoriserat inte du komma med jag rygg något inte - tjock djupfryst yogurt?

I read it all and thought it was brilliant. Damn on the power loss. I wrote out a fairly long post too (not now, before), and my internet died twice, without it being recovered. I'll bet nearly anything he uses another fallacy next, which unfortunately I can't remember the name of. (Taking two somewhat related events, putting them together, and saying god did it?) Oh, and I'm female.
