GOOD LUCK USA! ***** I LOVE CRICKET ELECTION THREAD! ***** FREE l0U1S JAGG3R POEM FOR EVERY VOTER!

i half-tried to get a really good M4nchester Gra4mar School kid bumped off our list because, well MGS is for cunts, isn't it?

a day on the moon lasts one moon day--duh

good work, come to oxford in october.

cool, what should i wear? for like clothes and stuff

a monocle

does not moon day last forever if "day" is "length of own-axis revolution within orbit"

oh riiiiiiiiiiight---we only see one side of the moon basically ever, right? the other side is where madness lurks?

lol I have a couple of MGS friends :-/ but your motives are pure

the other side is where syd barrett is buried

someone post a photo of LJ to help Mr. Que out.

day = "time from sunrise to sunrise" or "time to rotate on its own axis" (give same answer)

oh riiiiiiiiiiight---we only see one side of the moon basically ever, right? the other side is where madness lurks?

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

because the moon was created by a super-asteroid impact on earth, hence the clustering debris had no rotational inertia

because the moon is mocking us always mocking us?

sweeet moves, moon

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

see me after class

ow the moon is freaking me out w/its weirdo wobbling

MATH ADMINISTRATOR this shit is totally unfair

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

dude i went to a high school w/o classes and did not attend college at all i thought i was exempt from this shit

it is never too late to learn

look at caek, he has to work out how galaxies are shaped based on math

that shit is scary-level intelligent

math is very important to cricket, btw

whatever caek doesnt even believe in dark energy - i mean come on

dark energy is very important to cricket

we are verging on douglas adams territory here folks

is that what u tell the kids before you start teaching them implicit differentiation??

whoa differentiation is not GCSE, calculus has to wait until high school finals

guess papers?

we have guess papers CBSE board of Math approved 2006-2007 comfort delectation and confidence :)

halp i need to know how long a day is on the moon this is the only thing between me and oxford university cricket team need GCSE guess papers answers

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.

back already?

just can't get enough

so is "sports" you yanquis are so cute!

― caek

damn! didn't know it was actually sportamethics

caek will u post more math problems for high school students????

Mrs Smith has two children. They are not twins. One of them is a boy. What is the probability that she has a daughter?

Mrs Jones has two children. They are not twins. The tallest is a boy. What is the probability that she has a daughter?

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.

this is actually the single moment that ilc has been building up to

does this mean cricket is americas new national pastime - cause i sure hope so

its an impt development but consistent with my prev forecast

we were ahead of the curve, as usual

that pic needs to be shopped

mr president u r not swiveling yr hips

he is learning valuable life lessons which he can apply to presidency - play it straight, keep yr eye on the ball, roll the wrists at the last second ^_^

At the end of our conversation, when I asked him if he was reading anything good, he said he had become sick enough of briefing books to begin reading a novel in the evenings — “Netherland,” by Joseph O’Neill.
