As long as people understand it, it's OK.
I'm not much of a fan of manga animé (anime or animé?), though. However, I have seen some fabulous work by some popular manga animé artists.

I got 5 right, too. Correct answers: 3, 6, 11, 15, 17.

That's good poetry - I think young children would like that kind of thing. 
It would be good for everyone, really - But it all depends on the type of person.

I once had a teacher like that. She left in my fifth year. Everyone else used to call her 'dragon-lady', as she somehow resembled a reptile-like creature. She was quite strict, but quite nice, but also comments a little too much on everything.
#4157 Re: Guestbook » Don't you think teachers can have a bad and good side?Check here. » 2006-08-15 00:28:23
I'd have to say the nicest teacher is my English teacher (but she also teaches Media). As Ganesh stated - Teachers do wonders. And to answer the question fully:
A) No
B) Yes
C) No
D) Yes
E) Yes and no

Thanks, I'll definitely be using that for storage of everything I can, or perhaps build up some of my old scripts for users...then join up with Google AdSense to *cough*force*cough* people into clicking on the ads...of course I'm kidding.
A good way come up with names for things is by making a word out of your name. For example - DevTannica, the world's ________ britannica, or something like that. Best thing is, it's fun to name them.
Also, another good way to get good web hosting without a lot of searching is by looking here: http://www.free-webhosts.com/webhosting-01.php
Although a lot of them don't have a lot of space, it's still good. Also, they had some kind of prgram running quite a while ago...I think users had to pay a cent or a penny for their .com domain with free hosting - I would've signed up, but it was only open to the first 100,000 entrants, I think. They got that many in 3 days... O.o
#4159 Re: Guestbook » it's simple » 2006-08-14 19:41:56
Free domain or paid domain? I've searched all over for a free .com domain, but I can't find one. They've all been taken, apparently. 
But anyway, good luck with your website. 
#4160 Re: Exercises » Basic Algebra » 2006-08-14 19:38:14
All correct - Well done.
#4161 Re: Puzzles and Games » Devanté's Riddle House » 2006-08-14 08:00:56
Correct, Mathsyperson.
#4162 Re: Guestbook » it's simple » 2006-08-13 19:53:11
Nice pictures. Did you use MSPaint for those or something else?
#4163 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » All Factors Tool » 2006-08-13 19:51:12
Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work. First time, didn't work on any numbers at all. Second time, it only worked on one or two numbers selected. Good program, but sometimes it just doesn't give a result. :\
#4164 Re: Maths Teaching Resources » Math Drills Flash Application » 2006-08-13 19:45:49
Good program, but maybe make a mixed excercise, with all of your current excercises, or something like that. But it is rather good, and I'm sure a lot of children will benefit from this.

An automatic Decimal to Fraction Converter. Does it work for you?
It sure does. It'll be pretty useful for homework or just for fun, or for some other purpose. Nice work, especially with the text design for the title of it.
#4169 Re: Help Me ! » Arc to arc calculation » 2006-08-10 04:52:46
Upload your image on imageshack.us or something, then take the forum hotlink (1 or 2 - there are two options) and post it here.
EDIT: Wait, just use the MathsIsFun uploader - I think it can upload images.
Is there such a thing? 
#4170 Re: Exercises » About the Exercises » 2006-08-10 00:06:02
Just needed to ask this - Should we keep the difficulty of the excercises at a certain level?
#4171 Re: Introductions » Hello everybody » 2006-08-09 22:08:55
Welcome to MathsIsFun, akademika. I hope you find this forum useful as it is fun.
#4172 Re: This is Cool » Driving Drunk or Driving while Talking on a Mobile Phone? » 2006-08-07 08:15:27
This isn't the wrong place to do it...this forum is for Mathematics and Science.
#4173 Re: Exercises » Basic Algebra » 2006-08-06 22:10:43
More Excercises
51. 16 = x + 9
52. x + 7 = 7
53. 3x = -9
54. 3x = 33
55. -8 = x - 8
#4174 Re: Guestbook » My Brother » 2006-08-06 19:19:24
When people are about to scare, they are easily scared, so wait for him to sneak up behind you then pop a balloon.
Wow, never tried that before...or you could roll your eyeballs into your skull and turn around as soon as he is behind your back. 
Or you could read pi to a million places to him until he faints...
Good idea though MathsIsFun.
#4175 Re: This is Cool » Driving Drunk or Driving while Talking on a Mobile Phone? » 2006-08-06 18:59:22
Actually, they do do that sometimes. They end their show with a 'busted', 'confirmed' or a 'plausible'. The myth that you could drown in quicksand was 'busted' because you couldn't drown in it - Like many of their tests and myths.
(I apologize if you watch Mythbusters )
