Awww... you don't like it? I felt like a change, I'd had the Yoda one for ages... I think this is my first Britney one the whole time I've been here!

Got rid of the big Star Wars poster in my sig too, that was getting annoying - will put a new quote in there every week.

Also, using the pythagorean method, you can find the length of any side of a right triangle, providing you have the length of atleast two sides.

By re-arranging the formula, the pythagorean world is at your feet.. sort of.

C(squared)= B(squared) + A(squared)

where as;

B(squared)= C(squared) + A(squared)

and;

A(squared)=B(squared) + C(squared)

Following the directiosn in my previous post, will get you any length of any side of a right triangle. All you need to know is the length of two of the sides. Or atleast, for now you have to know 2 sides. When I get into grade 10 mathematics, and learn the other ways, I'll resurrect this thread, and explain more .

And so concludes our lesson for today .

Found some more!

They aren't too hard if you think about them a bit....


1) My full brother and I were born in the same hour of the same day of the same year to the same biological mother and have the same biological father, but we are not twins. Why?

2) If you have 37 cows standing in a field and all but 16 lie down, how many are left standing?

3) A frog is at the botton of a well which is almost 10 feet tall and decides to climb out. During the day it climbs 3 feet up the side of the well. During the night when it sleeps, however, it slides down 2 feet. How many days will it take for it to climb out of the well?

4) How many two cent stamps are there in a dozen?

5) You are running in a road race. If you overtake the person who is #2 in the race, what position will you be in?

6) You are running in a road race with 9 other racers. If you overtake the person who is in last place in the race, what position will you be in?

1) I Have No Clue!

2) Easy! 16!

3) Including the day mentioned, 8 Days.

DAY: (UP), [DOWN]
Day 1: (7 Left), [9 Left]
Day 2: (6 Left), [8 Left]
Day 3: (5 Left), [7 Left]
Day 4: (4 Left), [6 Left]
Day 5: (3 Left), [5 Left]
Day 6: (2 Left), [4 Left]
Day 7: (1 Left), [3 Left]
Day 8: Out!

4) 6

5) 1st

6) 9th

Easy or What? (Please, answer the 1st one, no clue)

1) They are triplets

2) 16 - correct

3) Yup, correct

4) There's still 12 in a dozen - it's a dozen stamps, not cents.

5) Second, there's still the guy in #1 in front of you

6) It's actually not possible - you can't overtake someone coming last because that would mean you would have been behind them, and they wouldn't have been last.

Not so easy actually.
