Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon "Reply With Quote"

Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon Just realised that your answer is exactly the same - you must have typed it in wrongly. 14C2 times 2! = 14P2 = 14 times 13 12C2 times 2! = 12P2 = 12 times 11 ... etc. So your answer is 2 times (14 times 13 times 12 times 11 times .....) = 2 times 14! But...

Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon Sorry. As I said, there is no restriction on the placement of the other 14. Randomly placing the other 14 automatically deals with every outcome for each side.

Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon You are not answering the question you asked. Problem is, I haven't yet figured out what question you are answering. Ekman's solution seems to be the right one to me. Why would you even need to consider pairs for the remaining 14 people? There is absolutely no...

An easy way of doing the first example - the one OP didn't ask: x^2 = [ (x-1) + 1 ]^2 = (x-1)^2 + 2(x-1) +1

Nup, its really a 2 unit concept. But then, maybe you were joking ....

Yes, and we all recall the ensuing blame game.

So why did you pick a subject you don't like?

Better: Sub x=-2: b+4c=-2 Sub x=-3: a+c=0 Sub x=-4: 4a+b = 4 Then solve simultaneously.

That's probably simply because, being only in year 10, you haven't begun to question the belief / lack of belief that you have grown up with, and neither have the people around you. Three more years of high school should fix that. If not, uni definitely will.

For starters, I didn't bring race or colour into the discussion, so please don't misrepresent me. But there most definitely IS a correlation between levels of religiosity and the level of education attained by a country's population. The only question is - which is the cause and which is the...

I don't see the connection between your question and the topic at hand.

I just wanted to see how you reacted when your comment was thrown back at you. I got the expected reaction. Re the video: As if an atheist would watch a video from the Philippines, one of the most unbendingly christian countries (and ??coincidently?? one of the least educated).

Yes Ye Y N No Just no

Good point. All followers of the Abrahamic religions fail to see that their god is ridden with human vices. Combining this point with a justification for my previous use of the word 'petty', this god is credited with murdering people for: * daring to glance back at god wreaking his human-like...

Your 'rational' arguments have been littered with with assertions that you claim to be 'self-evident'. It is not your reasoning that I don't comprehend. What I don't comprehend are the logical jumps that first require acceptance of these supposedly self-evident truths. As I suggested before...

I'll butt out now. I choose life.

Firstly, I have zero ACCEPTANCE of anything theological. I understand perfectly what you are trying to assert; it just has no connection with our observable reality. As with all attempts to use logic to justify the existence of a god, this has devolved into assertions without proof that god...

Ahhhh .... you do realise that dogs have gender too, don't you? They are referred to as he or she based on whether they plug in, or are plugged in to. Which does god do?

Why did you stop short of explaining what god IS ?
