Undergrad Can Greedy Pirates Outsmart Each Other? Find Out!
Here's a twist, what if we change the rule such that if 50% (or more) pirates refuse the deal, then the pirate is thrown overboard, can you tell me what happens then? We can also rank the priorities of the pirates from top priority to last priority: Situation A 1)Survival 2)Greed 3)Blood...- reenmachine

Calculus Anton Calculus vs Stewart Calculus for HS Students
I would suggest Lang a first course in calculus.I learned calculus from scratch with this book and it was a very fluid read.I skipped the first part of the book and started with the Differentiation section. I tried to learn calculus with a more rigorous book (Nitecki) at first but I eventually...- reenmachine

High School How well do you know the multiplication table?
Guess I know them by heart if both factors are 11 or lower.If one factor is 12 I might have to do the calculation in a split-second, but that's still different than "knowing it by heart".After that I either do it in my head or use a calculator depending how hard it is and how sharp I feel.- reenmachine

What do you need most in your life?
Voted Courage, Confidence, Motivation, Hope, Passion and Sleep. Strenght is unclear to me, is it physical strenght? If it is then I don't think it's crucial.Love is also unclear, I assumed it was meant as love between a man and a woman and not as parent love in childhood, with the first one...- reenmachine

Pressing fingers to nose and forehead help concentration?
I've read somewhere that when you're concentrating on something you might stick your tongue out and apply pressure on your lip with it, and it signals to others that you do not want to be disturbed.Don't know if it's based on anything, I didn't manage to find it back with a quick google search.- reenmachine
