No, you just proved that your dumb fucking ass cant do 5th grade math. Congratulations. Although I guess you're not all to blame. They did have lower standards of edjucation in the 40s.

Check it out at 29:27 on the video at CBS.com. So clearly it was not announced that the order of operations did not apply.

Since when did a goddamn underline become mathematical notation?Dear god... PEMA?!?!?! Holy shit. You're all idiots. sigh multiplication/division is first 2 / 4 x 3 / 3 = 1/2 5 / 3 = 5/3 1 x 1 = 1 THEN addition Subtraction 6 + 1/2 - 7 + 6 + 5/3 - 1 Need I say more or are you all too fucking stupid?! AND Never mind. This is idiotic. You all watched it. You're all tools. Yeah I was confused by lines as well. Shouldn't it have been brackets? But mathematically if everyone who watched the show is a tool, that also means you are also a tool, since you watched it.

That, at least, will never, ever change. the 40's! An age flame! Soon it will be the 1840's! oh man. Don't ever change! Oh yeah - I still got the right answer, incorrectly written or not. So I don't see what your beef is. Oh wait - I'm a minority. I almost forgot your loathing of all things NOT white. My bad.

With no 8's or 9's it could have easily been base 8 math and I'm a little upset no air time was spent on clarifying that.

If they can't remember how to do 7th grade algebra then it's their own fucking problem, don't insult the actual semi-intelligent people like JT there that know of the order of operations. Instead they just dumb it down for dumb fucks like Coach and Debbie who can't do math.

Though everyone knows any good arithmetic problem involves a google-plex or two as a term. So I'm a little saddened by that as well. I think the omission of any imaginary terms was a blatant attempt to dumb down the problem so Stephan could win.

Posts: 17286 (05/10/09 03:14 AM) Not a team player Reply Quote More Recent Posts	How about this: A 'snooker' table (measuring 8 metres by 4m) with 4 'pockets' (measuring 0.5m and placed at diagonal slants in all 4 corners) contains 10 balls (each with a diameter of 0.25m) placed at the following coords: 2m,1m...(white ball) ...and red balls... 1m,5m... 2m,5m... 3m,5m 1m,6m... 2m,6m... 3m,6m 1m,7m... 2m,7m... 3m,7m The white ball is then shot at a particular angle from 0 to 360 degrees (0 being north, and going clockwise). Just to make it clear, a ball is 'potted' if at least half of the ball is in area of the 'pocket' Assuming the balls travel indefinitely (i.e. no loss of energy via friction, air resistance or collisions), answer the following: a: What exact angle/s should you choose to ensure that all the balls are potted the quickest? b: What is the minimum amount of contacts the balls can make with each other before they are all knocked in? c: Same as b, except that each ball - just before it is knocked in - must not have hit the white ball on its previous contact (must be a red instead of course). d: What proportion of angles will leave the white ball the last on the table to be potted? i think a problem about balls would be right up Coach's alley!

You have trouble with the order of operations, I really don't think you should strain yourself with functions, or did they up you to some new daily vitamins? It's cool though, continue to try and prove your intelligence after your embarrassing math fail. You are a woman though, so I guess it's to be expected...

There's no such thing as a negative number. If I give you an apple and take it away you have none. If I say you owe me 5 apples (putting you in the negative) you go bankrupt and negative 5 vanishes. Tell that to the banks that have received TARP money. The obvious question is................with Coaches father a Calculus Text Book Writer and a distinguished professor, his brother a high school calculus teacher, why did he not win this challenge hands down? He did "teach himself to read by the time he was two"! To be fair- he was doing calculus at only 5 months old, so he could have forgotten it by now. The Wade men are a SEA of knowledge. And given his "Tow-Chin" training for the past 5 years, he didn't have enough time to brush up on math since about age 4.

Doing that equation after digging a hole and running under nets would have caused head explosions all around.
