You're supposed to say that when you're halfway done

B A D
A C

D D B
D B

That geometry question really rattled my brain. Some of this was hard to see too.

 

[RedLeader]

3 is C, not D.

9/10.

Equivalent math SAT score -> 720

 

[Binge Artist]

Ugh.

 

[Binge Artist]

Ah, yes. -.125 - 8.

Well, I was fried after that geometry question

 

[Binge Artist]

Why did #2 kick my ass so badly? Who knows. There MUST be a short cut I'm not seeing...


edit: NOW...NOW I see it. Duh. Draw a line that intersects the point where x is drawn, parallel to AB and CD.

Duh

 

[RedLeader]

I don't see a shortcut either. I expanded every angle in terms of x, y and 180 and then kind of inferred it. I haven't taken geometry since like 10th grade. I forgot all of that stuff; i.e. it does NOT MATTER in higher mathematics

 

[Binge Artist]

I expanded every angle in terms of x, y and 180 and then kind of inferred it.

lol...so did I. But look at the short cut I just posted...if you want to punch yourself in the face.

 

[Rogue Robot]

dorks

 

[Binge Artist]

In other words,

Let M be the intersection of AC and BD. And let N be the point on AD so that MN is parallel to both AB and CD.

Clearly, angle NMD = y and NMA = z.
Hence, x = BMC = AMD = NMA + NMD = y + z.

Pretty elegant, huh?

 

[RedLeader]

Which technique do you think they want the kids doing?

 

[Binge Artist]

Seems like quite a bit of ingenuity for the SAT.

Either that, or the both of us have some how gotten pretty stupid.

 

[RedLeader]

So....ebola actually did that with his one-time name change? That's either the greatest or dumbest thing ever.

 

[Binge Artist]

^I'm in ur forum, posting

DRUG DISCUSSIONS ! ! !

Anyway, ebola did what to the price of onions?

 

[RedLeader]

You missed it. For like a day, he had his name changed to something absurd....like "xtcravrpluriluvthc420" or something. It would have been the best staff name change since I capitalized my L.

So I kind of miss college. At least I miss freshman year.

 

[Binge Artist]

Ya, it's a good thing you capitalized that L, cause I thought you were Redle Ader.

 

[RedLeader]

I should have switched it to the German...

 

[Binge Artist]

What else is new with ya?

Seems like everytime I log on, you've done posted and left.

 

[RedLeader]

Hmmm, well aside from my friend choosing love over traveling with the lovely bloke known as RL...

I'm getting royally fucked up in my krav maga class. One week in, and I've been nailed in both shins with kicks, punched in the throat, have a huge bruise on my forearm, lightly tore something in my quad trying to do too high of a front kick, got scratched by a girl and bled all over the mat...not to mention I accidentally kicked a dude in the cup. Good times.

I might be getting a lecturing job at Ohio State in the math department. So that would be pretty neat.

My birthday is next week. I might be having a big one Monday night. I'd like to hope. You should come to Columbus and get royally drunk and nodded...it's 25 for me, and that's intimating. I'll probably cry...so I can vote "once per year" in that poll.

 

[Binge Artist]

Ohio State, eh? That would be a SWEET gig. Emperically speaking, the shorts tend to be shorter at the big state unis.


BTW, did you figure out the right weighing scheme for those "chunks"?
