And here I was just considering IMing you to find out what you were up to, lately. You should change your away message to "in hell" to save us all time.

Oh, just wait until I finish this 5 page paper on Philip Roth's The Plot Against America!
Start. Whatever.
It's due tomorrow.

Question 9 is problematic--the height-to-volume and volume-to-surface-area formulae for a golden calf are unlikely to be in the book, ne?
Or are we assuming that all golden calves have the same proportions?

Yeah... Otherwise, it's... not really a calf. It's something else.
And we're making the usual linearity assumption on cleaning time.

That is the most hilarious math test ever. I actually want to work out all the problems.

(Hint: There are two cases - either 20 is the longest side, or c is the longest side.)
I really hope there's a typo in that hint, because otherwise I don't know shit about triangles.
