Charles, don't spam the thread with my facebook status updates.

I wonder if you know the song (without googling it)?

Friday is HKN, Sat is Halo fans--that's why. And Saturday is only half-Brawl anyway.

Hey Matt or Andy have either of you tried that new calculator allowed by the SOA? The TI 30XS Multiview? I'm hearing it's a lot better and a big time saver on exams. I usually go with the TI 30X IIS + TI BA II Plus combo.

Yeah I could never figure out the memory functions on the BA either, hence my dual wielding TIs. It's much more intuitive.

What does this shirt look like?

It looked cool, but it wasn't allowed yet when I went shopping. I may spring for one.

The calculator, I mean.

Matt to answer that IM you sent me, a PAK is an answer key created by everyone who kept track of what answers they chose pooling their info together to come to a consensus on each question. It might even be called a pooled answer key, I'm not sure about the exact name, but that's what the idea is. From what I read, PAKs usually tend to be only 1 or 2 questions off from the real answer key. According to the one out right now at the actuarialoutpost.com forums I think I'm at 11-12/19 after their recent updates.

And I know I got number 2, but I don't remember exactly what it was. It might have had something to do with Put Call Parity, or at least I tried using PCP at first and either solved it with that or solved it with some other method right after. It's always fun to use PCP.

FTL, are you aware that the "Fruit of The Loom" company often labels their products with their initials? The word "the" is apparently initial-worthy, by the way.

The Multiview is excellent. It doesn't have mushy keys like the other 30s, and it's really responsive. I can press the buttons as fast as I like.

I've been screwing up all the time with the 30XIIS because the tactile feedback sucks, and if you go too fast it misses inputs.

That Metaknight guy wasn't bad, although... he was playing Metaknight. I was more impressed by BC's friend--he played Kirby and Sheik.

Oh, really? He played with us once last year. He's gotten a lot better since then.

I don't think BC checks the boards.

So what's going on tomorrow (er... today, I suppose, it being past midnight...) I just got an email about some other tournament thing, I'll probably go to that instead of Weston
