I think pessimists have better "luck" in life. Why? I've tried it out before. If I don't give hope to things, strangely and surprisingly, there is hope in that thing. If I give hope to it, it hardly does have hope.

How come you always say hi, Rebel? It can be considered as spam, you know.

I think we need to change the mr roflol from that to another one mr roflol not so distracting, if you can find one.

Hello. I, here, would like to ask a little question. How much posts do you need to gain before you raise a rank from Full Member? (I forgot what the next rank was)

Thanks. Have a nice day!

I can't believe I answered them all wrong.

#83 Re: Introductions » I'm back » 2006-01-12 00:19:12

Welcome back to MIF forums! Even though I don't know you, I hope to know you more. smile

#84 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » [center]A Centering Suggestion?[/center] » 2006-01-12 00:17:45

Yeah, I see what you see. I hope the problem could be solved as soon as possible.

#85 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Emoticons - Smilie Expressions » 2006-01-12 00:16:42

I guess the new function makes a lot of people excited in this forum. Making a pop-up window for the smilies is quite a good idea.

Oh, really sorry. I didn't notice that. So, it should be 400,000L.

Actually, I wrote the unit as litres because you're measuring the volume of water.

#87 Re: Help Me ! » A really obvious but interesting question » 2006-01-11 23:58:57

I don't really know, but let's explain it like this:
------------------------------------------------
4 divided by 2 also equals 4 times 1/2 (2 turned upside down).

4/2 = 4 x 1/2
------------------------------------------------
So, 4/9 divided by 1/2 could also equal 4/9 times 2[/1] (1/2 turned upside down).

4/9 // 1/2 = 4/9 x 2[/1]
------------------------------------------------

Get it?

What I mean, is that when I'm using the aligning code, the text of the whole messege of my own post turns small. Though when I don't use the aligning, the text is normal, like your post, MathIsFun.

#90 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Emoticons - Smilie Expressions » 2006-01-10 23:54:41

They're awesome, MathIsFun! I'm glad you actually made it up. Thank you so much.

#91 Re: This is Cool » school » 2006-01-10 01:08:35

Now, I don't know what you are trying to say in that messege.

#92 Re: Help Me ! » solids » 2006-01-10 01:07:10

Actually, I noticed that MathIsFun was and is our "emperor" and captain, a captain with capable knowledge to solve our problems. smile

#93 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Want permission for an inquiry » 2006-01-10 01:04:39

I'm guessing males, though if it's females, it's not surprising neither.

#94 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » "At least 60 seconds have to pass between posts..." » 2006-01-10 01:03:28

What he means is that the feature of "at least 60 seconds have to pass between posts" is to prevent people from using this as a chatroom, where people can reply by the second.

#95 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Emoticons - Smilie Expressions » 2006-01-10 01:01:34

Well, I think people like to type it more than clicking it. But it doesn't matter, jU, really.

#96 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » [center]A Centering Suggestion?[/center] » 2006-01-10 01:00:09

Now let me try.

[sub]This[/sub] is [sup]great[/sup]

[align=justify]Here  we  go  ![/align]

[align=left]Hurray![/align]

[align=center]It[/align]

[align=right] Works![/align]

[hr]

And how come the text changes after aligning?

#97 Re: Help Me ! » Im too old to remember. Solving fractional equation » 2006-01-09 23:26:16

Just remember one simple thing: exchange symbols when places are exchanged.

So times(x) becomes divide(/), divide(/) becomes times(x), and plus(+) becomes minus(-), minus(-) becomes plus(+).

#98 Re: Help Me ! » solids » 2006-01-09 21:32:43

You've got sense, MathIsFun!

#99 Re: Puzzles and Games » Puzzlers - you can use the "Hide" tag » 2006-01-09 01:31:35

Let me give this function a little comment: AWESOME!

To find out the cylindrical container's total volume, refer to the calculations below.

Base Area x Height = Volume

100 x 12 = 1200 L

And to find out 1/3 of it, times the total volume by 1/3 or devide the total volume by 3.

1200/3 = 400 L

1200 x 1/3 = 400 L
