Scary words nobody wants to hear, "Hello, we're from the government and we're here to help you."

I posted that I got the same answer earlier. :P :D

Anyways the standard way of typing it is: sin^2(x) Then people will know to square after doing the sin function instead of before inside the paranthesis. Don't forget that parenthesis denotes order of operation with the inner most parenthesis evaluated first.

true, but then you should write it like this. sin(x)^2 not sin(x^2) The second one means to square the x first and then apply the sin function, which is totally wrong in this problem. :)

So you should type it like this: sin^2(x)

There is a mistake in chuckywang's step 3: (2cos(x/4)+1)(cos(x/4)-2) = 0 if you multiply it back together you get: 2cos^2(x/4) - 3cos(x/4) - 2 = 0 multiply by -1 and rearrange the terms 2 - 2cos^2(x/4) + 3cos(x/4) = 0 which is not the same as chuckywang's step 2: 2 -...

I get 4*pi/3 btw, i'm sure it's just a typo but you keep switching between 2sin(x/4^2) and 2sin^2(x/4) which was really confusing at first... But from following your steps, it looks like really meant sin^2(u) instead of sin(u^2) which are two really different functions.

I think this explains it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_stuffing

That's true. It is a paradox like someone else mentioned. I was pointing this out to try to explain why some people might come to the false conclusion that the plane is not moving.

The confusion is because the problem statement is unclear. Some people, like MasonLuke, are basing their conclusion on the fact that one version of the problem states: "The speed of the treadmill matches the speed of the wheels in the opposite direction." If this statement is true, then...

I'm not a merchant, but what about google checkout? They accept credit cards and the fee is waived until the end of this year. https://checkout.google.com/sell

Bwahahaha. pwned.

Hey supafly... How would you feel if I told you that 0.000...1 is actually zero? :P If the number 0.000...1 equals zero then it also means that .999 repeating does equal one. :laugh: Let's think about what 0.000...1 really is. First think about 0.1. It is 1/10. Next 0.01. That's...

Yeah, it looks like a scam. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n...LD,GGLD:2004-28,GGLD:en&q=nco+aol+scam http://www.my3cents.com/showReview.cgi?id=15985 http://www.ripoffreport.com/results.asp?q1=ALL&q5=AOL&submit2=Search!&q4=&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searchtype=0 Funny thing is that they...
