This is more about it visually. I don't know if it is just on my computer, but the flags appear very pale and it can be difficult to see them after marking a square.
Apart from that, it is a good game and very addictive.:)

I think I am leaning towards the biochemistry at the moment as I find some of the physical chemistry quite hard

This is better than some of the other boring 'I hate maths' type threads which have been appearing

I have a maths teacher who forgets that maths isn't our only subject and doesn't think we have a life. That is the only way it would be humanly possible for us to the amount of work he keeps telling us we should do.

I tried it an managed it ok. I found it was fairly easy by drawing a grid.

A man walks into a doctors surgery with a carrot up his nose, a cucumer in his left ear and a banana in his right ear.
"What is wrong with me?" he asks
"You're not eating properly", the doctor replies.

Patient: Doctor doctor I keep feeling really lethargic in the mornings.
Doctor: After you get out bed climb on top of the wardrobe.
Patient: Will that cure me?
Doctor: No, but it will increase your potential energy.

Doctor: Have you tried taking the spoon out?

Here's a joke on a completely different subject (and just as bad)

Darth Vader: Luke Skywalker, I know what you are getting for your birthday.
Luke: How do you know?
Darth Vader: I felt your presents.

I was doing my maths hw when i got stuck on this M1 exam paper question.

3. In a simple model for the motion of a car, its velocity,v, at time t seconds is given by
v=(3t² - 2t + 8)i + (5t +6)j ms-¹

a) Calculate the speed of the car when t=0.

b) Find the values of t for which the velocity of the car is parallel to the vector (i+j).

c) Why would this model not be appropriate for large values of t?

I have done a) and made it 10ms-¹ which agrees with the answers i have been supplied. I am confused on how to do b) and any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks

I want to go on to do either chemistry or biochemistry at uni, not sure which one yet.

Three people are alone and stranded on a desert island - a biologist, an engineer and an economist. They don't have anything to eat, but somehow find an unopened can of beans on the shore. The biologist says 'lets leave it for a while, the sea water will errode the tin'. The engineer says 'I have a better idea, we should find a rock and bash the tin open'. Finaly the economist says 'Ok, lets assume we have a tin opener...'

Hi everyone. I'm 17 and from England. I am currently doing A/s levels in maths, physics, chemistry and biology so most people think I'm completely mad.
