Hello my friend, and thanks for the reply. How did you arrive at 96, was it similar to my method?

My answer looks like this (translating from my pen+paper notepad): a+b = a+a*b 1+1*4=5 2+2*5=12 3+3*6=21 8+8*11=96 my friend got 40, which I can also see. I am not sure who is correct. Please let me know and let’s put our heads together and have fun.

Does anyone know how to run OpenGEM or Gem from the command prompt in FreeDOS? It would be great if someone could spell out which commands to use, and I will post if I run into any roadblocks. W

Why is it not possible? The purpose is to mentally work out what the engineering challenges would be, not to build one on a message board. Also, at low altitude you can land.

What would be the engineering challenges of designing/constructing an urban wing-suit? To clarify, I am talking about a wing-suit that can allow a user to jump off a house or of mid-large sized building in a city (or suburb) and glide down safely (lets use military standards as our bare...

I was told: The answer should probably be given in parametric form r = something, theta = something, z = something So, any ideas? I've exhausted all my resources trying to look for this maybe a better mind can see it more clearly.

It fits according to what I know, but I feel like something is wrong.

intersection between x-2y+3z=11 and <1,0,-2> + t<3,-1,2> my attempted solution (59/11, -16/11, 10/11)

Still highly confused.

Yes it's a vector equation I am after. my thought is: r = r0 + tv meaning r=<1,0,-3> + t<0,0,1> I just don't know if I'm right. Need clarification
