I can do "Add Single" with an average under 1 second. Beat that.

Well, 0.735 seconds for add single and 0.969 for multiply 10x10 (with all correct!). I'm sure someone will easily beat them but I thought I better make a start ...

I kept getting all the answers wrong, even though I entered the right numbers. It kept saying, '1 + 2 = 3 (not 3)' etc. And I kept getting 50% each time. Then I realised you don't need to press enter after keying in each number ...

But ... how come all your posts have a 'last edited by Devante'?

Did you want some help with the metric system?

Here's a short page on Metric System - you might already know the things there?

I'm not sure if you've covered the imperial system yet in class, but here is a Metric to Imperial Conversion Chart. It also has conversions between metric units.

Hope it helps.

Arrgggh! It's addictive.

And the music is brainwashing me.

I will guess that Espeon's mystery word might be 'necessary'. But not necessarily.

She said she thinks it starts with an 'a' though. So, I will take a blind guess at 'association'.

Any more bets people, before espeon reveals her mystery word ... ? big_smile

Very nice!

With speed, I found it very slow to respond to my keystrokes. I had to hold down the pageup key for a long time before I started moving.

And once I had zoomed off into the greyness, I found it almost impossible to return to my original spot!

But these are not real problems ... it's great!

Well done!

Oh yeah?

Looks around to see if Devante planted that trap ... big_smile

Or, on second thoughts, someone with a name starting with 'm' and ending in 'athsy'.

Hello aman!

And now a lame joke for you:

Why are castles so dark?
Because they're full of knights!

Welcome to the forum.

This really has nothing to do with anything. But:

What type?

If you tell us what you need or even need help on, we can help!

For starters, you could go to the Exercises forum and have a look there.

Wow, this is great!

It was so good I couldn't actually find any mistakes, so I'm just going to have to invent some things which 'seem' wrong, I think.

Okay, so you wanted corrections ... well, they're not really corrections, just fussy things like missing commas and full stops and the word 'so', but I'm going to put them and you can decide ...

big_smile

Possible insertions are in bold:

1) You will never reach it, so don't try.

2) But infinity does not do anything, it just is.

3) Even these faraway galaxies can't compete with infinity.

4) If it does have an end it is either a Ray (one end) or a line segment (two ends).

5) Which means they could be counted (it may be very hard, but they could be counted).

6) Here are some more proeprties:

All right. I think number six is probably the only real correction, the others were just me being silly and you can correct them if you can actually be bothered.

[curl]

It works without the spaces, but with spaces ([ word ]) I get the error message too.

If you guys want to play, then play! Go ahead and start a new thread, d00d!

There's two of me too, now. Yes, I think it's working now for me but in a weird way. To see the text at the bottom of the dialog box I have to highlight the text and continue dragging down the text, until it scrolls.

#297 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » The MacArthur Foundation » 2006-12-01 17:07:38

Huh, how do I change my position? I can't move from 0, 0. I type my coordinates in and press refresh, but the position in the box doesn't change.

Torus sounds good. justlookingforth sounds good, too.

#298 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » The MacArthur Foundation » 2006-11-30 20:45:48

Oooooh, ooh, oooooh!

Geez, listen to me. Well, that's basically all my input for the moment, but I will think about it.

Well, don't elephants have a good memory or something ... ?
