No no, its not over.  You have some risk for cancer and you better listen good or it will happen.  Mine bitched the fuck out of me and I did not listen and so it severly punished my ass.
wait.
when did you get ass cancer?
Misunderstood.

Random, but you are all-knowing:  Is there some plausible way for a high-school (11th grade-level) geometry or algerba question to involve the variables 3a and b without being insanely simple?
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

The 11th grade algebra use of these variables 3a and b that I can think of would be where you teach the student how to solve two equations in two unknowns, like for a simple example:

The larger of two numbers is three times the smaller.  Their sum is eight more than twice the smaller.  Find the numbers.

Let a represent the smaller number and b represent the larger number.

b = 3a

a + b = 2a + 8

So substitute 3a for b in the second equation:

a + 3a = 2a + 8

So 2a = 8

So a = 4

b = 3a

b = 3 (4)

b = 12

Oh, sweet.  Math that I was actually decent at.  Adding equations is actually eleventh grade level, and they actually use a and b sometimes in addition to x and y?

(This is for a story I'm in the middle of; still random, but I want this small detail to be coherent.)

I can show you how to do anything that you need to do.

Does that go for all of us?

Yes.

Ok, how do I stop from being such an idiot?

I think that you are an intelligent man, so if you think before you act, then you should be fine.

I think that it is covered in high school algebra, but many students don't retain the information by the time they get to college level calculus, according to my husband, who used to be a mathematics professor.

Oh, I didn't think it was too advanced, I wondered if it was too simple.

Yeah math is easy, especially algebra.  I took and accerated algebra course back up at stonnington highschool and got a b+ without even trying.

If there is no one to hear a tree fall, does it make a sound?

How is your day going so far?
Biggest bullshitter on the web, the person who is says that is a jealous wanker who needs some personal devolpement.

Spread your legs woman!

I think that it does, but it would not make a sound if it fell in outer space.

My day is going fine so far, Randy.  Thanks for asking.

what if it was just the limb of a tree falling in outer space?

It would make no sound, because there is no air in outer space.
