Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Corsair on March 19, 2005, 08:26:32 pm: Alpha 1. Although that might be a tie in a fight with Snuffleupagus.
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Hippo on March 19, 2005, 08:42:10 pm: OOH! More math time!

Alpha 1 = ∞
* = i
Snuffleupagus = (-b±sqrt(b²-4ac))/2a

Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Axem on March 19, 2005, 09:44:37 pm: Alpha equals infinity
* equals the square root of -1
Snuffleupagus equals the zeros in the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c

Go Snuffleupagus! :D

That would be basic algebra.

Post by: NGTM-1R on March 20, 2005, 03:13:04 pm: The Snuffleupagus had a cloaking device.

Post by: Getter Robo G on March 20, 2005, 03:53:44 pm: Depends on what ship Snuffy is flying... My odds are on Alpha1 as his character shields are much superior to the Jim Henson ones Snuffy has.

Now seriously Raa, did you eat some bad Puffer fish? What posessed you to write this?
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Hippo on March 20, 2005, 03:57:54 pm: in the above equation, snuffy is clearly flying a parabola :D ...
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: FireCrack on March 20, 2005, 04:04:37 pm: ok, well, if alpha 1 is tan(x) then we must belive that beta 4 is integral(ln(z))

I WILL WIN :devil:

Post by: Taristin on March 20, 2005, 06:56:30 pm: I dunno... Snuffleupagus is winning at the moment...

HAH! :p
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: WMCoolmon on March 20, 2005, 06:59:33 pm: Wouldn't a Snuffleupagus be part of *?

And alpha 1, wouldn't he be part of *? :p
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Taristin on March 20, 2005, 07:02:16 pm: No, ifor the purposes of this poll, * = *-( alpha1, Snuffleupagus)

Or something like that. i don't feel like thinking about math notation at the moment.

Exactly my point for voting *

* could be alpha 1 with www.freespace2.com

I belive dividing would work better, nontheless you could say

if ( * == 'Alpha1' || * == 'Snuffleupagus')
{
ctd();
}

Umm, hate to break it to you. But that isn't covered in "basic" algebra. If it is, it's toward the end of the class. I still can't do quadratics and I've been through Algebra class a half dozen times. Now do you see why I fear Calculus.
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: FireCrack on March 21, 2005, 03:48:24 pm: It was essentaily the first thing i learned in algebra, the quadratic formula.
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Cobra on March 21, 2005, 04:55:12 pm: Nah, should be something like Algebra 2 or something...

i never took pre-algebra, so algebra 1 was so DAMN hard.

good thing in home study we retook the course. :D
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Nuclear1 on March 21, 2005, 04:58:51 pm: Actually, I learned that in Alg. 1. I can bet CP would back me up on the fact that you learn quadratic formula and stuff like that early on.
Title: Alpha1 versus *
Post by: Liberator on March 21, 2005, 06:02:33 pm: Every class I've ever had starts with number theory and quadratics don't come until later.

Of course I'm a complete dunce in math. Takes me a twice as long as twice as much space as the next most mediocre student up the scale. The only ones who suck at math worse than I do are the mentally retarded kids who participate in Special Olympics.

I didn't know Snuffleupagus was the X Interceps of a Quadratic Function!

but you could beat them, yeah?

Everyone's a winner!
