HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
I wish I could retake my gcse maths. Thanks to the crappy teaching I had I got a B. I could easily get very very close to 100% now.
Ive just completed A Level maths in a year, and next year ill be sitting my further maths exams. I hope its easy enough. And yeah what delta said about GCSEs is too true. A week after youve got your results, no one cares anymore. That reminds me I still need to go back to school to pick up my GCSE results :P

You bunch of self-harming attention whores.
Thats nice. I don't hurt myself to get attention. I hurt myself because I'm emo.
I fucking hate school, ironically, I am at the verge of an F in Art while I have an A- in maths. Irony isn't funny at times...

Vectors are pretty easy to get the hang or, they are much quicker and much more visibly pleasing to code with, so i like em. That site's done a lot of good multi-step tutorials, i think they did one on tile-based games a way back.
Lmao, being in eight grade, I only have an Algebra 1 final in mid June. Luckily for me, my school did away with finals, but the high school sent over this test due to the fact that my school is mentally challenged and there are like 20 people in my accelerated class.
Have fun with your exams and all.

I have an A in math and a D in glass design

seriously trig seems useful but vectors are faster/easier to comprehend
from personal experience
I've been using sin, cos, and atan2 functions in AS since I was 12. After a while I thought I got the hang of it and understood it pretty well, because in the flash games I understood which function was needed for which situation, etc. But only this year I realise that I really didn't understand trig at all, in fact before this month I hadn't even heard about the trigonometric circle. I find that in 3 years of pretty much not reading any articles / tuts about AS I've actually improved loads in programming. It actually helps a lot to understand things like trig and vectors much more in depth, and also I guess physics helped a lot (at least if I were to make a physics engine, but that would be obvious).
If I were you I'd take further math at school. In France you can't just pick a subject that you want to study more than the others, and I find that our math and physics lessons are painfully slow (and even now most students in my class say it's too hard -.-)

Find all bases XYZ for 10rX - 12rY = 10rZ.
The clock thing doesn't ignore mathematical logic, it only fails to mention that the numbers are not integers.
That's ridiculous. You can't just re-define problems like that when they don't make sense and then say that they "only failed to mention" something. It's as if I say 1 = 2 and then say that in my problem, 2 should actually be 1. 10 - 12 = 10 clearly has no solution as 10-12 = -2, there's no way around it. If you want to make a new riddle out of it where you need to find X, Y, Z then so be it, but don't claim that it doesn't ignore mathematical logic.

Vectors has been the most useful things I've learned in math. I took calc and vectors this year and It really helps when figuring out physics/collision detection/3d stuff. Intersections of planes, lines, circles, all that jazz, can be done with vectors, its so beautiful.
Haha that picture is epic.
Has anyone seen that news story where Egypt's goverment decided to make a stand against swine flu by killing all their pigs.
1: Killing the pigs won't solve anything.
2: They were one of the few countries that had 0 cases.
I dont think they did it though, they were obviously mocked instantly by other countries.
I'll kill all Asian people so that I can stop the yellow fever.
I'll kill all animals in the world to end rabies, that's logical, right?

I'll kill al the mods ending the banning flu..but then the spamming flu will be unstoppable..
please don't ban me. please don't ban me..

Up looks good but it looks more funny than emotional.
Without spoiling the end, why the crying?
