Omg, I can still do math.

I'm ecstatic, I swear. Last night, my friend and I were talking about this one annoying math problem that neither of us could really solve. I wasn't thinking about it too much, though, because my brain isn't made to do math at midnight XD. So I went to bed, and then woke up in the morning and was thinking of my friend. Then I thought of the problem XD. It suddenly came to me , though, like *BLING*. I was in a frenzy and had to check it out, so I jumped out of bed and started solving it.

"The sum of two consecutive even integers is 244" . It's easy to just do number crunching and find out that the answers are 10 and 12. I told my friend that last night XD. But that wasn't good enough, you have to write an equation. It's so simple 0__o, I should have put more thought into it last night.

The equation is

X^2+(x+2)^2=244

I did the quadratic formula... but you can just factor the rest of it and wind up with the trinomial

2x^2+4x+4=244
2x^2+4x-240=0

and then factor and shit ---->

2(x+12)(x-10)= 0

SO THE ANSWERS ARE -12 and 10.

THE END VOILA BOOYAKA.

I'm so smart, omggg.

haha, right XD. Now if only my friend were taking trig... ^_^**.

Leader or Follower...

That's one question asked to a lot of people to try to learn a little about themselves. Some think it's disgraceful being a follower, or some think negatively about people being a leader.

But is it possible to be neither? I've been trying to decide for a couple years what group I'd fall under, and can't quite put a finger on it. I don't think I'm a leader OR a follower. I like to go at my own pace, and not let people interfer with what I want to do.

For instance, today , during the Spring Lake thing, I felt a little out of place. Everyone had their pairings they were glued to. Wei-Chen and Matt, Kanoe and Le, Noriko and Po-Hsiangmon. Well, I was out of place XD. So I was by myself a bit, and didn't try to glue myself to anyone. When the whole group decided to go one way for a walk, I decide to go by myself another way. I've always been a bit of a social outcast, never really "following the crowd". So that doesn't make me a follower.

As for a leader? Well, I don't know. I think I'm more a leader than a follower, but I don't like conducting people in what they have to do. I believe they shouldn't have to listen to me if they don't want to, and are stupid if they ignore my advice : ). But yeah, I don't like forcing anyone or anything. I like watching out for myself and not others, allowing others to watch out for themselves too...

In other news, I wish Wei-Chen would have paid more attention to me and not her boyfriend. I hate boyfriends. Actually, I hate all non-marital relationships in general. I'll probably get my first boy friend when I'm 30 or something XD.
