Yes that is a more elegant formula, primarygun.

Are the "b's" supposed to be there? And what exactly is line symmetry? Lines that are at opposing angles and are equidistant from the edge of the figure? Or have I totally missed the mark?

Ummm, are we assuming only positive integers? because if we're not then I believe the problem is impossible. If positive non-zero numbers are assumed then x-y<x. That seems bloody obvious but it seems to be what your asking.

You could use Gauss's method: 21+30=51 22+29=51 23+28=51 etc. And since there are five pairs, 51*5=255 Or, in formulaic terms: Let x represent the sum of the first and last values, let y represent the number of values x*n/2 I believe this works, I just derived the formula now.

if x is the first number and y is the second number, then the difference between them is equal to x-y. More simply, the difference is the answer to a subtraction problem.

and an infinite number would be the correct answer (if diameter is the correct term)

No, its just the nature of probability. It works with flipped coins as well. Actually, both zeroth and sorcerer are right, they are just saying different things. (I think)

The level needs to have structure to look good. It also needs to have models or else its just a bunch of flat images. Granted, the programmers dont need to be top-tier for a game to look good, but they need to know what they are doing. Why are we even arguing about this?

OK, Thanks guys.

I am having problems intalling Mandrake Linux 9.0. I'm currently downloading 10.0 but I thought I might try to sort out these problems anyway. When I insert the disk into my drive and choose "boot from cd-rom drive" it opens up the graphical installer splash screen for Mandrake. However, when I hit install it sputters about for a minute with the screen black. Then it stops doing anything at all and I have to turn off my comp to get out. Do have I to partition before I install? Or could it be something else? Any ideas?

What about the talented modelers, level designers and programmers?

n+nw-n+gwl-gw-n(squared)+gwl-gw+w-1 nw+2gwl-2gw-n^2+w-1 Not sure if there are any tricks here, but thats my best guess.

Actually, you have one teacher for eight years, but they only teach you for two hours in the morning. In the 5 hours from 10:30 to 3:15 you have a variety of teachers teaching many subjects. The class teacher is always there to guide the class and act as a figure of authority, but you get many perspectives, because you have approximately five different teachers in an average day.

They didn't have any principles that would necessarily exclude flight.

Funny you should mention it, my mother has a teaching job at my school. She is currently in 6th grade (if that doesn't sound weird to you, then you really are familiar with the methods) the pay is lousy, but she says it's quite rewarding. The grounds are quite nice, we have a big sweeping view of pastures and mountains (hills really) and the main school building is quite the piece of architecture. But what is most striking, is that there are ALWAYS cows in view, if you get bored in class... Watch the cows!

Hehe, Actually I'm good friends with the current AWSNA chairman. He taught me a history block. I went through the entire waldorf curriculum (k-8) and am now in a waldorf high school. I really liked the education I got, although I did and do have to supplement the science curriculum a little What, if any, experience have you had? Anybody?

He'll be banned soon.

Have any of you ever heard of it? If so, what do you think?

Well selective breeding/cloning is a long slow process. Ultra-effective genetically enhanced cows are a quicker option. Granted we do not have the technology now to make this meat/dairy as healthful/disease-free as I hope it will someday be.

I'm a German student, so I'll have a crack at it. Interpretated quite a bit: Whether it be something you can always achieve or something you can only dream of doing, courage to begin has genius, strength and magic in itself.

Besides, when genetic engineering techniques advance far enough, it will be an obsolete method anyway.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Is there any way to subscribe to a thread without posting in it?

Mine was "truck", I had a toy truck which I later lost two teeth to. True story. "truck" was closely followed by, "Help! There are two homicidal women drowning me in the bathtub." Such is life with sisters. We have pictures in our photo album of them holding my head underwater. No joke.
