This is true.

But remember, other people can do things also. George has been more than willing to try and start something. Purdue isn't just you and Alan.

man, i should probably try to follow club leagues more often. it's weird getting status updates every 4 years for world cups. 4 years is a long time....

That it is, especially in soccer! Check out Real Madrid this year for example. They just signed Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Karim Benzema (France's next Thierry Henry)!

Well, I'm currently playing Pro Evo '09 for the PS3. If anyone wants to play.....

guys! I just learned this trick where you can multiply any two numbers. Just follow these steps:

1. Find a calculator. If you can't find a calculator, open Excel.

2. Type in the numbers you want to multiply (remember to format your input properly)

3. Read off the answer!

With these steps, you can multiply any two numbers so long as you don't overload the capacities of the machine. If you need to multiply larger numbers than is possible with this method, write to someone with a supercomputer and ask very nicely for permission to use it.

I tried this myself for a few test cases, and it really, really works. It's fast and results in the correct answer with at least six sigma precision.

If you guys are really nice to me, I'll show you another technique to take square roots.

109^2 = 109*100 + 109*9 = 10900 + (1090 - 109)

Wow, hard stuff.



There is no excuse for your johns.

i wasnt saying your method was hard, im just saying mine is easier, like if are both given a number from like 90-110 i could give the answer faster than you with my method (assuming we both dont just memorize the answers), but numbers further away from 100 ,your method is better, thats why i said that it was situational

also, we are planning to attend this weekends tourney

Dude say you're multiplying any 2 numbers from 1 to 200. The probability that it is 90^2, 91^2, ... , 109^2, 110^2 is 21/40000 or 0.0525% of the time. That's 5 HUNDREDTHS of a percent of the time.

Basically you have some methodology of solving 21 multiplication problems. You could also just memorize the answers. Actually wait, I can't give you credit for 90^2 or 100^2, so you have solutions to 19 multiplication problems.

In all fairness my cube root solution only applies to 53 specific problems, but I'm just saying. It's pretty worthless knowledge at the end of the day.

Right so the odds of you coming increased by about 3% based on previous experimentation. Say you come 15% of the time usually. Your probability of coming this time is now about 18%.

Assuming they don't want to team together, why don't you be a good friend and team with one of them. I'm sure they'll feel somewhat outta place and intimidated to begin with, so teaming with them should help alleviate that.

Also, LOL @ the pic, Maus.

The Midwest does need Melee tournaments badly.

If JAB can't happen, that's fine, just let us know so we can organize something else!

Midwest melee interest is fast fading among the "older" smashers. 06 07 players have had nothing for months and they are losing interest...

Bottom Line, we need something now!

I practiced some Chou Aniki over the summer.

I'll money match anyone in that game.

You know what's hilarious? Apply his trick to a number less than 50.
