Dammit. You beat me.

Guys curling in the squat rack.

If you plan to go to graduate school to get a degree in mathematics, plan on having no life outside of graduate school for at least 4, but more likely 5-6 years. Be prepared to eat, live and breath mathematics. Be prepared for your girlfriend to complain that all you do is math, that she never...

I haven't taken them in years, and I wish I never had. Condoms.

It's not deflection. When you posted your question you conveniently left off the part that asked why the OP why he thought I was "pushing it." The OP made it personal when he posted that. My response about his "ego" was merely a side note on the way people make it personal when they can't...

That question is completely superfluous the the discussion at hand.

<dies laughing> :roflmao:

Built, I actually find this rather fascinating as it come up in discussions with my colleagues all the time. The question is, how do we, as educators, get our students to let go of their incorrect preconceived notions about mathematics (or physics or any hard science). There are many studies...

Why is that "pushing it?" It makes it sound like your ego is very attached to being right. Further, your need to rely on irrelevant sexist remarks about women not being able to do math to bolster your position is further evidence that your argument is spurious. On the other hand, I don't need...

This thing is still alive? I have to admit, I'm kind of appalled. You've had two people with multiple degrees in mathematics tell you that 1) the question is not ambiguous and that 2) the answer is 288, and there are still posts like this: Let me break this down for you. a/2b means (a/2)*b...

There is no riddle. One of the beauties of mathematics is that there is no room for interpretation; there is one, and only one correct interpretation. Therefore, only answer is correct. Period. This isn't a political science paper where you score points for arguing your point well. You are...

My very good friend, Built, brought this thread to my attention. It's had me in stitches for over an hour now! My I present my qualifications for answering this question definitively: A B.S. in Applied Mathematics A M.S. in Applied Mathematics A Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics A 2-year post...

Then why do you insist on touting a method that isn't? I'm all about simplicity. Any amount of protein above and beyond what the body needs is really just an expensive form of carbohydrate. Expensive as in protein costs quite a bit more than carbs do. I guess on of the major questions is...

All I track any longer are grams of protein. Almost everything else is fat. I'm almost never hungry. Really, the only time I get hungry is when I've been too long without eating. Dump some protein and fat on it and it's gone. Carbs? What are carbs? Let me tell you, ratios and lbm dosing...

First, let me just say that if anyone does not NEED backup, it's Built. She's quite capable of decimating you all on her own. Personally, I find it hard to watch her credibility called into question by someone who quite clearly does not understand or refuses to understand what she is telling...
