Nothing would even remotely require more than one page to complete, much less one page itself. Google some sample calculus equations if you need proof. Idk what that poster was talking about but it's not calculus. Having taken honour calculus in first year and then going into Applied Science at UBC in the '90s, I fully agree with what JJJJS asserts, as it matches my experience of taking calculus courses during the completion of my degree. Even partial differential equations needed to answer questions in some of the upper-year courses wouldn't run more than a page. I mean, I suppose it's possible to take up 3 pages, but then you'd probably need to be writing at larger than this font size AND MAYBE EVEN TAKING A PAGE OUT OF HOCKEYGOD77'S BOOK OF WRITING IN BLOCK LETTERS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) 9 hours ago, Warhippy said: I wanna see him get asked these questions during the presidential debate Show us how easy it is He won't debate because he can't respond to anything off the top of his head, he just keep replaying the old grievances and lies and campaign crap. He hasn't avoided the debates because he thinks he's above them, he avoids them be cause he knows he'd be buried in a battle of intellect and wits and that he can't control the narrative. He is clearly in mental decline and the more media coverage he gets over the next several months will inevitably reveal how epically unsuited he is for the presidency. To the MAGA world it won't matter, he already owns those people, but the undecideds, virtually every Democrat, most Never-Trumper Republicans and the millennials won't support him. However, P.T. Barnum once observed that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people, so there's always a chance he'll get elected.

I’m sure there are lots of 77 year old educated men who could do it. I doubt it. I multiplied 4,733 x 1.75 (which no one here seemed to do) and added 37.5 to get the answer. It took a long time to get the answer in my head. I’m almost 70., so I often lose my keys, wallet etc and I forget what I had for breakfast. Don’t consider myself to be out of the ordinary. I just don’t see a lot of people in my cohort, being able to solve the problem. Just my $.02. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PistolPete13 Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 6 hours ago, The Arrogant Worms said: Donald Trump: His Academic Record https://doctorzebra.com/prez/z_x45_trump_academic_record_g.htm Trump's claims: Earned "the highest grades possible" (1988) 2 "I got in quickly and easily" to the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, adding: "It's one of the hardest schools to get into in the country -- always has been." (2015, to the Boston Globe) 2 In reality: In the Trump family home: "... the library, a room without books" 1b In high school even though Trump's sister Maryanne "had been doing his homework for him, she couldn't take his tests, and Donald worried that his grade point average, which put him far from the top of his class, would scuttle his efforts to get accepted" at Penn. So "he enlisted Joe Shapiro, a smart kid with a reputation for being a good test taker, to take his SAT's for him." Trump paid him. 1c Trump also had his brother Fred talk to an admissions officer at Penn, James A. Nolan, whom Fred knew well. 2 In Trump's 1960s era "Penn was accepting 40 percent of all applicants, as opposed to its current cutthroat acceptance rate of seven percent." 2 Trump did not graduate with honors. Nor did he make the Dean's list (in 1968). 2 William T. Kelley, professor for 47 years at Penn, "must have told me that 100 times over the course of 30 years. ... I remember the inflection of his voice when he said it: `Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!' He would say that [Trump] came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything, that he was arrogant and he wasn't there to learn." 2 Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, under oath in 2019: "I'm giving the Committee today copies of a letter I sent at Mr. Trump's direction threatening these schools with civil and criminal actions if Mr. Trump's grades or SAT scores were ever disclosed without his permission. These are Exhibit 6." 2 3 "This was a major, major thing with Trump -- that people might think he's stupid," Michael Wolff told me around the time of Siege's publication earlier this summer. "The focus of that for Trump is the college transcripts, which are apparently terrible. I've spoken to friends of Trump from that time, and this was a guy that was obviously not interested in school and possibly never read a book in his life. For everyone that had known him then and years afterward, the assumption was that he had terrible grades, he was a lackluster student at best." 2 He is no stable genius. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nuckin_futz Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 When a career criminal is being dismantled by the legal system, one of the patterns we keep seeing is that the civil cases & criminal cases involved start to compound each other, ultimately making things untenable for that villain. Now we’re seeing that play out with Steve Bannon, with a particularly ugly outcome for him today. Steve Bannon is awaiting criminal trial in New York on fraud charges, which will send him to prison for several years if he’s convicted. In the meantime Bannon is in a legal battle with his former attorney, who claims that Bannon refused to pay him about half a million dollars. The attorney is going after Bannon’s bank records & such. In an effort to stop it, Bannon is being forced to admit that his bank records contain evidence that could be used against him in his criminal trial. Bannon is arguing that he can’t be forced to turn over his bank records in the civil proceeding due to his Fifth Amendment protections. But in so doing, Bannon just announced to prosecutors that they should look more closely at his bank records for the evidence that he’s talking about. And prosecutors will have no problem obtaining any bank records that they don’t already have. It’s the kind of catch-22 where in order to try to get off the hook in one legal situation, you end up having to compromise yourself in another legal situation. Bannon may fend off his attorney’s fees for awhile longer, but in so doing, he just increased the odds of going to prison. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send “thoughts & prayers” to my colleague, Lauren Boebert. It’s my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle. Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Further to that, there's a guy on X who is trying to say that if the left has Taylor Swift, then the right needs someone to equal her. His choice is Lauren Boebert. Somebody responded that they couldn't be equal. He remarked, "Except that Taylor Swift isn’t a grandma".

Gnarcore Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 15 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Our homework assignment was to solve one question. Sometimes it took up to 3 pages to solve it and you had to show your work. I’m sure if you had actually taken a Calculus class in school you would know this. The mathematical question that was posed for a cognitive test was 10 times easier than any Calculus question I had to solve in school. Anyone with basic multiplication and long division mathematics skills would be able to solve it, especially people who grew up not using a calculator in school. I did in high school and UVic. Never had one take 3 pages though. Not calling you a liar I just never experienced that. Also that question wasn't on the damn test. He is lying and made up random numbers on the spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
