So you think you 13 y.o. are stupid

[snow-templar]

Inspired by the thread named very similarly to this...

Okay, here is the deal, I will post a new complex and brian itching question everytime someone gets the previous question correctly. The prize? A awsome pic that complements posts very well. And every winner will get a different picture. Just note even if you get the correct answer, whoever posts the right answer first wins. The subject the question has to deal with will be subject to change.

So here goes the first one...

A lighthouse stands straight up at 100 feet tall. A ship out at sea can see the light house. From the ship to the top of the lighthouse, the angle of elevation is 28 degrees. Assuming the base of the lighthouse is the same width as the top, what is the distance from the ship to the base of the lighthouse when rounded to the nearest whole number?

Note: Yes, there is enough information to figure it out.

I can type in "Riddles" into google as well.

Too bad this is a triginometry question :)

21 Fathoms when rounded

[Benovere]

im not doing your geometry homework.

[wwwyzzerdd]

188 feet.

Pythagoras FTW.

Who cares about your math problems that you copy pasted from your math book?

I could probably answer this if I had time to lose doing your homeworks.

188,0726465 feet.

Seriously, everybody should be able to solve that. It's basic mathematics, nothing complex.

Its his math problem... dont give him the answer..

[IBx1]

tan(28)=100/x

x=100/tan(28)

x= ~188

Easy.

x1

So when does my Dinette set come?

dont u mean 188.0726465 feet rounded to 188.07 feet

[Retardead]

I don't even know what some of the words mean.

It is not so much stupid (however often times it is) as it is highly immature.

Sure this is Newgrounds, a place where you can act like a dick and not get punched in the mouth, but users here don't take kindly to immature little brats bragging about how they "GAHT THEIYRE GOILFRIEND TO SUCK THAY BALLSLOLOLOLOLXLXLXL!" really now.

This, is almost as bad.

We are not saying that 13 yr olds are dumb, as a matter of fact there have been some who taught college while in their middle teens! The only problem is, none of the professor's students would respect the prof. because he lacked life experiences, maturity, and two decended testicals.

Trying to prove you are not an idiot? You are failing.

Besides, most of the users on here can answer trig questions very easily, just try and be mature. Also, even if the users here do not know the correct answer to the question, who says you even COMPREHEND the material?

[Fonzie]

Also, I just made an ass out of my self because I didn't read the entire thread.

I even convereted your answer into feet for you and you are still wrong.

Now for the next question...

What is wrong with this sentence?

No one dares to contradict the high school principal, for she has the authority to detract from a student's grade point average for any reason.

Note: If I spelled something wrong, I am sorry, but that is not the intended mistake. I figured I would test the gammar nazi's.

The part where it says "she." Everyone knows women cannot be in positions of power.

[Benovere]

its missing a three. One to for... no three, and thats how gpa is figured out on a four scale

The comma should be a semi-colon, I think.

[Felis]

I think I did a problem similar this in math, once, but I don't feel like figuring out the problem right now.

That was intended just to make sure the question stood out from the text.

Hey! My middle school rpinciple was a woman and she got me off the hook for a 3 day suspension.

BTW, this is a high level difficulty question I took right from one of my practice SAT's.

[Smokinggun64]

Its somewhere in there right? That last part doesn't sound right.

'detract from' doesn't really sound right, for some reason. Maybe it's just my ass thinking for me.

[The-Buck4]

A woman is in power thats whats wrong with it cause thats never true.

Yup, the answer is in that part of the sentence, but I am only acknowledging this because people are seeming to have a problem with this. And you guys though this forum was riddled with gammer nazi's. :)

In that case it is that she can't decrease an average number whiteout decreasing an other number in the sum.
