Of course, we try to hide it most of the time...

*stops looking for FC*

She doesn't hide her time and money quantities

I scored an 8 which is really impressive as I am really bad at math.

Not all girls are evil, Gwen. My daughter is definitely not evil.

::hears the math(s) talk, quietly slips a [fg] calling card on the table, and slips out the back door::

8/10. ANd I've got a maths A-level

But to be fair, I was o.0001 out on Pi, and we never did googols.

*8/10 on the quiz and did you realize that 42 in binary is 101010?*

8/10 as well.

The court case was cancelled. That gives me a chance to key in my mid-term essay for the watercolor class.

That's good news Lil - what are you painting?

I have a new shiny textbook, and a new shiny notebook.. now I just need to do some studying...

Good job I went to the news site first instead of here.
10/10 on the maths quiz (I got lucky guessing the googol but the rest were ok)

Marv your "lucky" you only have one room, I have a whole flat to muck out.

10 out of 10 on the math(s) quiz .

What's so odd about having six legs? I didn't get that bit.

I spent the day sorting books with a view to throwing lots out . It has to be done. I can't move the books up to my nest and I can't leave them cluttering up my parents' nest when they're trying tomove house. Lots of my dad's books have gone as well - I just hope he doesn't notice before I've gone back home .

*monitor fades*

No Amy Don't Do it!! Please.. donate them to a chairty shop where a poor deprived student, (one so poor and deprived they've just spent £35 on textbooks) can buy them.

...or give them to an old people's home, or a local library - if they'd take them...

Yikes, I got a 5/10 on the math quiz. I knew the googal, the triangle, the differences in billions, and the percentage.

The actual questions requiring calculation? Forget it. Why do you think I'm a history student?!

Although I remember taking the GRE in 1990 and getting a 420 on the math, and then 12 years later getting a 460, which I thought was odd...

Me and math do not get along. I got 4 out of 10 but still think that my answer on Pi is right as I did not round up as they apparently did.

Phil, I own Pi on DVD and it is a favourite film of mine. I like the commentary on it as it explains a lot of the imagry that you would not normally know just by watching the film.

*appears on the monitor again*

Panic not! By 'throw out' I meant a combination of car booting, donations to charity, ebay sales and auctions . Although I did burn the first edition of the National Curriculum for Science and I trashed a couple of outdated electronics books that had pages missing.

*fades away*

9/10 Not too bad, I suppose.

*voice from computer lab*
Zorak, play me to the salon
*mantiss hissing noises*

Greetings salonistas, I'm back from SLC.

*brushes icicles from beard*

Sorry I missed the pool game, Marv & GDZ - my brother was beat, and doesn't drink, so we went home. I didn't see him long enough as it was. I went snowboarding on Sunday and Monday morning (before my flight back). That was crazy. The altitude was killing me, I kept sucking wind unexpectadly. The powder was awesome on monday - I did at least 3 head over heels wipe outs, without getting hurt.

I got an 8/10 on the quiz...math has been my weakness at grad school, while it was my strength at undergrad. Very frustrating. I should have taken more math at undergrad. I just don't think I have any talent for it. I can do it, but I'm just not creative about it, and I can't "see" it. oh well.
