Today was pretty sucky. That video in Euro was... wait... what video?
Yesterday on the way back from the math tournament was great. Besides CiCi complaining every minute about how she was about to die, Yujing had an awesome moment. We're talking about entropy, the Big Bang, and why it could or couldn't have happened. Then randomly I say "I know what doesn't reduce entropy!" which doesn't make any sense at all. What did I have in mind? He started laughing, and somehow managed to guess that it was a fart. Well, it was less of a guess than a "I KNOW what you're thinking." I have no idea how that happened.
I think like a lot of people for some reason. Like, Charles and I seem to always understand each other even when the one talking has only gotten half the sentence out. Even if it's a periodic sentence! BAM! Now I'm thinking about how it would take Jess 5 tries to understand the words I say (because my English sounds like Chinese or some other useless American excuse) while it'd take Charles half a try. Hmm... haha
Gene has inspired me to create the greatest AIME question of all time:
Two positive integers m and n are relatively prime with m < n. If you randomly guess m and n out of all possible relatively prime combinations of positive integers, then the probability that you will get this question right can be expressed as m/n. Find m + n.
That one had more than a few problems with it. Here's the less funny (or is it?) version that seems to actually make sense to me:
Two relatively prime positive integers p and q are randomly selected. If f and g are randomly selected according to the same criteria (relatively prime positive integers), then the probability that p + q will equal f + g can be expressed as m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m + n.
I'm done for today, I think.

Unsurprisingly, "billy" appears to be another incarnation of Ronjon. Same IP and everything.
Do Indians usually have two names?
David on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 6:56 PM
Indians don't have names. Not the untouchables at least.
Gene on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 7:51 PM
that was an ignorant and uninformed comment discussing a matter that you clearly dont understand. please dont show off your lack of knowledge involving that subject

nothing gets past inspector david aka my fellow ronjon h8r

Yes, Indians usually have two names. A name they go by and in my case a name I never reveal

OK that last comment was just bad.... yes... Indians tend to have two names (whether they know it or not)... this is not necessarily the middle name (I have none)... but I do have a second name which I usually don't reveal
