    HUH? Talking to yourself Ghollum....I mean Omar?



    Let me give you a hint....there is a slight difference between
    0 and pi. If you ever evolve enough to write down the formula
    correctly, the answer for X=4 will be pi and not zero.

    GOT IT? D***A**

    SHEESH! There is a difference between "zero" and "infinitesmal." Do you know what it is? Someone who knows calculus should know better. Wait...you taught youself....never mind.

    WTF is your problem seriously?

    You have an odd problem.

    First off, learn to read. You will see that I quoted someone else to support my work and added a diagram at the end to show you how it never is pi, but always zero.

    If you cannot read a simple "Originally Posted by", well I cannot help you.

    Explain how it is pi, oh great Einstein.

    Omar, may I ask you what are you doing?
    And WHY are you using my name for something you wrote?
    This behavior is pathetic.

    Sorry, my error in writting the quotes, it is corrected. I didnt write it btw. Learn to read, I was quoting just a few posts before: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=134491013&postcount=46

    Besides, I thought you put me on your blocklist?

    What on earth are you talking about? That was your quote. If you
    did not write it, who wrote it as I clearly read that Auraraptor posted it.

    However, you seem to have deleted the post. Why did you delete the post?

    I am going to report this to Rob. You should not be allowed to moderate.

    You said that I quoted you as saying the following in the above post:
    Originally Posted by Turb0flat4

For a triangle the answer is negative 60 degrees, because the lines diverge after they're produced and meet on the "other side" of the figure, so the answer should be expected to be negative. No answer exists for x <= 2).


    When I looked at the post, I saw the error and corrected it, namely by writing 'Turb0flat4' instead of TcpSec, thereby correcting the error.
    I did not write it, rather I was quoting the good Doctor's work: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpo...13&postcount=46

    You see when you click the "quote" button, you can quote what others have written.

    I did not delete the post. It is still there, scroll up and read yourself. I just edited my post to correct the name on it after you pointed it out to me I wrote 'TcpSec' instead of 'Turb0flat4'.

    Be my guest.

    Uh Oh, if Omar shouldn't be allowed to moderate because of this I'm really screwed. I gotta take off my pants to count past 20.

    FFS guys. Why do you have to take your maths this seriously. TcpSec, your attitude in here resembles that of filth. Clean it up, this is just maths.
    Mind you, this thread is slightly entertaining....

    If you can count past 21 using your implied method, I salute you. :)

    Problem is not mine, it is yours. You are always
    wrong, but still argue like crazy.

    OK, for any polygon with X sides, the angle
    between AB and CD will be 4*pi/X.

    For X=4, the answer is pi and not zero.

    You can test the answer for all values of X > 2.

    Note that answer will be zero for a polygon with
    infinite number of sides. Last I checked, 4 was not
    too close to infinity.

    Can it? I mean i do it everyday!
    Somehow when i read this thread i can relate it to a scene i saw not long ago. I saw a huge punch up in an Internet Cafe because one guy lost the flag for the Counter Terrorists on Counter Strike....
    I sat back and asked myself....why?????

    For X = 6, you get 4(pi)/6= 2pi/3

    The question asked for the ACUTE angle. That is obtuse.

    Last I checked, Acute was LESS then pi/2 or 90 degrees.

    DAMN! I missed that! I wrote the general formula for the
    angle. My apologies.

    You could have been civil in your tone earlier.

    Not to add fuel to the fire, but was that meant as a clever double entendre ? ;)

    Heh yeah. Math terms can be pretty naughty if interpreted literally. Here's a math joke that manages to be cerebral and scatalogical at once. :D

    Now, if you can appreciate that like I can, you're a nerd too !! ;)

    One problem with computerized spell checkers...they are relatively dumb and can't handle correctly spelled words that are used incorrectly.

    Learn how to spell and you will be more efficient.



    Eye halve a spelling chequer
    It came with my pea sea
    It plainly marques four my revue
    Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

    Eye strike a key and type a word
    And weight four it two say
    Weather eye am wrong oar write
    It shows me strait a weigh.

    As soon as a mist ache is maid
    It nose bee fore two long
    And eye can put the error rite
    Its rare lea ever wrong.

    Eye have run this poem threw it
    I am shore your pleased two no
    Its letter perfect awl the weigh
    My chequer tolled me sew.

    The problem with English, is that it's far too full of homonyms with fun potential.

    Deffinately, OHS is the way to be...i know we have beaten Madison 3 years running, i think is was more than that. North Carolina can't be that bad....SC is where the worst is, I have family down there and I am fairly confident i could teach high school math in their public school. Sorry if my misspellings make my posts hard to understand, I installed the spell check and that should help, granted as has been proven it will not catch all mistakes.
