Engineer- OR, Mathematician test

Wolfgang:
Nope. Don't own a single one. Do you think Mighty Mouse could whup
Superman's ass?

Never gave it a bit of thought.

Does that mean you now wish to be addressed as Mr. Goodbar?

Not sure what you're looking for here.

Less than I got.

Tell you what I'll do......I'm going to assume that you had a point. Would
you like to
share it with the rest of us?

OK, since repetition can be instructive, and since you seem to somehow
require the use of an e-tool,
Wolfgang
it's english......just accept it.

FTM, I've always understood "Wolfgang" to be German, not English.

Nowadays how can you tell? How many people do you know with "Scot" as a first
name taht are not Scotish?

Don't look now, Sparky, but you just wrote your autobiography.

Hm......well, allow me to make the observation that you had even less an
idea of what you were looking for than I did, and that you haven't got a
clue about what you got. Were you, perhaps, looking for Mr. Goodbar?

Wolfgang
who, lest anyone should feel the urge to point out that he is very easily
amused, already knows that.

after sweating blood in my algebra class all semester- i don't even
want
to
LOOK AT THAT ****!!!


Sweating blood....in ALGEBRA???

you're one cold -ass sonofabitch, aren't ya, riverman?
and yes, that is something that i would say to you in person- not just on
an
"anonymous" type of forum like roff- aw, ****- i hope i didn't cross that
line....

Snakefiddler- hey, wolfgang- notice how i omitted any reference to
nationality :}

Actually, I hadn't till you mentioned it. But, now that you have, it occurs
to me that "algebra" like so many words beginning with the letters "al"
comes to us originally from Arabic. Now, of course, that COULD simply have
been perfectly innocent, but in times like these......and given the well
known American propensity for nationalistic slander.....and given the
current sorry state of relations between US and them......and given your
implicit contempt for algebra......I dunno......what do you think about
"alcohol", "aldebaran", "alfresco", and "alpacino"?

At any rate, I suspect Mr. Cooke would be a great deal more interested in
your forbearance than I have any reason (beyond my somewhat suspicious name
[assuming that really IS my name], that is) to be. Wot?

Wolfgang
um.......ya'll would let me know if that sneaky little flesch ******* is
sneaking up on me........right?

She, surprised, responded that she had finished that in
her freshman year.

High School?

It's been a lot of years since I read that anecdote. I can't be certain,
but I don't think that question was answered. At any rate, I'd venture to
guess that Mr. Einstein was more surprised and impressed by being in the
presence of such a prodigy than either Myron or Ken would be.

Possibly so, however I had heard it that Mr. Einstein stated that he studied
Physics. In any case, a quick google search didn't verify it.

Meanwhile, in my 13 year career as a math teacher, I have only encountered
two students astute enough to have completed Advanced Algebra in or before
their freshman year (in high school), and neither of them was particularly
impressive. A bit arrogant and pretentious was more like it.

Nah, you didn't cross any line. I make my living causing students to sweat
blood in Algebra class. And I've been called a hell of a lot worse by many a
poor soul in exactly your position :-)

So, didja pass?

Does one add the brackets first, and then multiply? Algebraically speaking
of course.

Just to flesh it out, as it were?

Everyone missed the obvious. 0%. If you have three socks, you don't
have
a
pair.

Uh, uh. I've got a male Hershey bar. Give me four dollars, a red sock, a
ticket to Portland, a female Hershey bar, a green sock, another male
Hershey
bar, two more green socks, all the amputated letters in the state of
Florida, a battle cry, a digital camera, and I've STILL got a male Hershey
bar. Go further, and give me all the male Hershey bars in the world,
and......SURPRISE!.....I've STILL got a male Hershey bar.


Yeah, but theres that old 'inclusive, exclusive' defintion going on. Or are
you proposing that two pairs of threes doesn't beat three of a kind, since
its only two pairs....

(could be a bluff, though)
