Rob Dauth's Maths

Prince EWS · 01-03-2006, 05:17 AM

He often asks me maths questions over MSN, and then signs out as I'm typing the answer. I'm beginning to find it annoying to be honest, as I've usually spent ten minutes or so figuring it out, only for it to go to waste.

Anyway, I've created this thread so I can post answers when he annoyingly goes offline.

The answer to the last question you asked, after a period of trial and error moving around and substituting, was +/- the square root of 3.

Good ole Dauth Vader, as a South African would say when referring to the Star Wars character..

I've found a flaw in my calculations... +/- root 3 is actually wrong.

Was thinking the same thing. Dauth asked me the same question except i couldnt be bothered working it out.

After a long and painful process, I have discovered that b = b. Great... how useful...

I think I'll get some sleep and knock it over tomorrow.

Prince EWS · 01-03-2006, 05:52 AM

Considering I have found both x and a in terms of b, it shouldnt be hard to complete it and find b. In fact, it should be bone easy, but I cant be bothered as it stands.

How about posting the question?

Funny how he never asks me. Am I stupid?

I never get asked either, can't be that. Possibly it's cause he knows I'll laugh in his face if it's stunningly easy.

Buddhmaster · 01-03-2006, 08:06 AM

I spent the two years stroking the back of the guy sat in front of me because he was a massive homophobe

Still got a C somehow...
