this is the crucial fact you need to answer the question
(sub-question is: why do we always see the same side of the moon?)
dudes i cant do maths - gimme a break
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 17 December 2008 18:25 (fifteen years ago) link
because the moon was created by a super-asteroid impact on earth, hence the clustering debris had no rotational inertia
― country matters, Wednesday, 17 December 2008 18:26 (fifteen years ago) link
because the moon is mocking us always mocking us?

q: does the moon orbit in the same direction as earth's rotation? also, is the orbit normal to the earth's axis, or is it in the same plane as the earth's orbit?

jhoshea - the answer is x = 2 or -3

MATH ADMINISTRATOR this shit is totally unfair
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 17 December 2008 18:31 (fifteen years ago) link
look at it: 2x^2 + 2x - 12 = 0
forget the = 0 for now
=0
ok so u know it's a quadratic being factorised, hence u shd already have the following in mind
(2x...) (x...)
a bit of trial and error shows us that
(2x-4) (x+3)
multiplies out to give the initial equation
when (2x-4) (x+3) = 0, one of 2x-4 and x+3 must = 0 too. hence x is 2 or -3
thank u

all you need is to be a half-decent australian/south african club cricketer, then to apply to Oxford Brookes University to do Business and Management Studies, then you automatically get into Oxford University Centre of Cricketing Excellence side :) hope this helps

the moon is always showing us the same face, which means that sunrises are separated by the amount of time it takes to go round the earth (i.e. 28 days). maybe draw a diagram if this is difficult to imagine.
lj has kinda the right idea for why it shows us the same face.

I am celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo.
Imagine there's no heaven.
I don't know if you're loving somebody. To be a poet and not know the trade, to be a lover and repel all women. Twin ironies by which great saints are made, the agonising pincer-jaws of heaven.
If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue, walk with kings but not lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
yours is the earth and everything that's in it and what's more, you'll be a man.
It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your breath away.

as an umpire, i've been involved in a number of amusing and controversial incidents, mostly involving lbw decisions given against my own team
and one fantastic one where we were 130-0 against a truly woeful side largely made up of youngsters, and this 13 year-old bowling seam-up at a spinner's pace bowls our opener a stomach-high full-toss which beats his pull, hits him amidships, and rolls onto the stumps. i was at square leg and immediately signalled a no-ball for height, and the standing umpire had no choice but to agree. poor kid.
