    How long do you think that would take?

    If I were a math geek, wouldn't I say something like:
    (1 +/- 10%) of (4,243 pages x (~2 minutes/page reading + ~.25 minutes/page "page turning"))
    = 4243 x 2.2 ~= 9330 minutes ~= 156 hours +/- 15 hours?

    What would be the equation if you speed read it?

    Wouldn't it be nice if it could be derived from something like this: e^(iπ) + 1 = 0?

    Why is that the most beautiful equation?

    Would you believe I was always loved creative writing? Might I have had to write and essay for recent mature student college entrance exams and it was so easy and fun? Isn't geography awesome too?

    Do you think many people can spell these days? Isn't autocorrect both a curse and a blessing?

    Would you believe my son is the opposite? Weren't his highest grades in math because it makes more sense because theres always a definitive answer?

    Would you believe, in the third grade I wrote a paper "How I Spent My Summer", and my teacher suggested different ways of saying some things, meaning well I'm sure, but I couldn't understand why my way of saying it was "wrong" nor could I see what made her wording "right"? How was I to know the "right" way to say things if I couldn't see the reason that made it right?
    Can you believe that was the beginning of my dislike of English and love of math, because it seemed to me with English there are numerous ways of saying the same thing (i.e. the answer) but only one "right" way, whereas with math there is only one right answer but numerous ways of finding that answer, all equally valid?
    Would you believe it took me decades to overcome that writing mental block?

    Why is everything about men's sports? Can we focus on the success of women for a minute?

    But isn't he simply asking because the men's final is happening or happened today? Wasn't the women's final yesterday?

    Wouldn't it be strange for me not to know who won the women's Wimbledon final, since I watched it yesterday?

    Do you know that the "golden grand slam" in tennis consists of winning Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, and Olympic gold metal all in the same calendar year?
    Speaking of women's success, did you know that Steffi Graf is the only person to have won the golden grand slam (in 1988)?
    This year, will Novak Djokovic become the first man to win a golden grand slam?

    Isn't Novak on a roll right now? Do you think there's anyone out there that can beat him?

    That will happen eventually, but when?
  • Alinouveau2
    Alinouveau2 Posts: 6,696 Member
    Perhaps someone will have their special Olympic moment and beat him?

    Aren't all sports more fun to watch live, especially if they have concession stands selling beer and hotdogs?

    aren't I a sports fan for the sports? Dont you think a person like me can be impressed with the athleticism of those that reach olympic status?

    But aren't the "uniforms" a nice bonus? :D

    Should we petition the governing bodies for new "uniforms"?
