<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Why am I still in the US? Does God/other hate me?</p>
<p>Yes. You're the devil incarnate. Go commit suicide.</p>
<p>Have you recently purchased a coke 12 pack and would like give me the code? If so, just im/pm it.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Did my previous question bother you?</p>
<p>No on two counts.</p>
<p>I just read 2 newspapers.
What is the last newpaper you read out of?</p>
<p>The Washington Post online.</p>
<p>Would you agree that The Economist kicks other publications' butts?</p>
<p>Yes espicailly after they sent me that "passionately red" mail. </p>
<p>Are the Essay questions for this year (esp. #4 for math ppl like me) a godscend?</p>
<p>Question 4 is a neat one, but I didn't even use last year's prompts, as I chose the "do your own" one. It was based on the mustard jar question, which was too good for me to not write on.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts on peanut butter?</p>
<p>it's tasty and versatile, but fattening, only good in small amounts, and it also keeps disturbingly well.</p>
<p>Is parallellism important to you?</p>
<p>never touched the stuff.</p>
<p>A 'snooker' table (measuring 8 metres by 4m) with 4 'pockets' (measuring 0.5m and placed at diagonal slants in all 4 corners) contains 10 balls (each with a diameter of 0.25m) placed at the following coords:</p>
<p>2m,1m...(white ball)
...and red balls...
1m,5m... 2m,5m... 3m,5m
1m,6m... 2m,6m... 3m,6m
1m,7m... 2m,7m... 3m,7m</p>
<p>The white ball is then shot at a particular angle from 0 to 360 degrees (0 being north, and going clockwise).
Just to make it clear, a ball is 'potted' if at least half of the ball is in area of the 'pocket'</p>
<p>Assuming the balls travel indefinitely (i.e. no loss of energy via friction, air resistance or collisions), answer the following:</p>
<p>a: What exact angle/s should you choose to ensure that all the balls are potted the quickest?
b: What is the minimum amount of contacts the balls can make with each other before they are all knocked in?
c: Same as b, except that each ball - just before it is knocked in - must not have hit the white ball on its previous contact (must be a red instead of course).
d: What proportion of angles will leave the white ball the last on the table to be potted?</p>
<p>Enjoy...</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Did you even bother to read half of the **** brand posted?</p>
<p>Didn't read any of it. xP</p>
