Nice test, 210 here. Could that be why my wife and I have "conversations" about what color that is?

From the looks of the reply's here two conclusions a.) you are not alone, and b.) it is definitely possible. GO FOR IT. And when you do go big. Remember, the older you get the younger your classmates will be :). Been there too.

ADHD here, before it was popular, dyslexic too maybe part of it I don't know, but what I do know is that a challenge is not to be shied from. I have an engineering degree (mechanical) been working in industry for longer than most of you have been around (yeah you can say dinosaur). Still had to...

To all, first and foremost, no matter what you choose as a major, if you do not have an affinity for said work your GPA will always be lacking. Humanities harder? Not by any stretch of the imagination. STEM likewise. What you personally love is where you will spend the time and effort. The rest...

As all subject matter is presented more or less in a linear sequence, I don't think that unlearning is required. You may not see this sequence when you are "being exposed" to new material but it has to be there for further learning to take place. You can't add when you can't count because...

Always go to the lectures. I know boring,boring, boring BUT YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL, remember? To learn presumably, remember? You also happen to be paying for it so why not get your moneys worth? If on the other hand, you can challenge the class in question and still get the credits for it. then...

My wife (the plant guru) has 3 of these things, in glass globes with holes in them. The plants are on/in some kind of rocky material. They live in our kitchen hanging above the sink and out of direct sunlight. She mists them about once a week in the winter and maybe every other week in the...

In the beginning we have k as an even integer. We postulate that, there is another integer n such that k = 2n. Furthermore it can be shown that if we introduce a as an integer. We can obviously consider ak. And by all operators definitions ak would then = 2(an). Therefore and from thence on, ak...

I usually try to "be nice" to the caller and then ask if they could repeat what they said. When they repeat I say that I have a lot of noise here and I can't hear them well at all. My goal is to have them shouting into the phone first. Then I will ask them to go over the issues that they found...

Okay, answer this. Do you like this or is it something that you think you should do? In terms of scratching the surface, think of learning to swim. Then the question becomes. How far from shore do I want to go? Remember that the farther out you go the deeper the water (or whatever you would...

Poor taste? Maybe. Poor taste/just plain dumb at work? Probably. Sexist? No way did he think that far ahead. Cool shirt? If you're a hater, definitely not. Some people will always find something to complain about, he was the target on this one. Move on people, nothing to see here. P.s. Would...

I think I see the source of your problem. If you do not put in the work UP FRONT how can you expect a satisfactory end result? Some people are "good at math" most have to work to be "good at math" sounds like you are one of the most. One can make any number of arguments (excuses) about why...

Cheating is never acceptable. In the short run, you have taken a shortcut that leads someone else to believe that you understand the material covered when in fact you do not. In the long run, when you finally become responsible for said material, you do not have a clue and further, by then you...

Look at i this way, If there is by any definition "intelligent life out there" why would they come here? We as a genus of beings are pretty dumb. Need proof? Simple question for you. How many things in the universe are there that we know nothing about? We have no way of answering this. Does this...

If it is understood that the world of mathematics is: 1. Purely a product of the mind. 2. Coupled with the observational power of "man". 3. And used as a tool for predicting and explaining. Then no response is required. Other than the person does not understand 1,2,or 3.
