"Joe has nine apples. Cindy is a fast locomotive. If Joe tells Cindy he wants to hit it at 90mph, how many hours will it take until Pedro cuts the plexiglass?"

Are you crying like a little girl yet? If so, :camera:s, please

Sorry I read the first sentence as "Joe has nine nipples".

Cheers!

Sorry I'm late to my own roasting; I was busy taking care of my real life.

Um...no I'm not sobbing ATM. Luckily my choice of careers places value on real-world experience and not the ability to calculate the theoretical value of some XYZ unknown...in a vacuum...on Mars...on Feb 29th of a leap year...while listening to Dark Side of the Moon...with blacklights on....while inhaling Magnesium Phosphate fumes.

Oh...I digressed...you were saying something, RaynorWolfcastle?

Um...is it me, or is this thread based on the fact that none of you can actually SEE what you're reading? "Nipples" was never mentioned by yours truly. You all have dirty minds. Shame on you!

Well if it make you feel any better, I just finished solving a problem, the answer to which is
R[c] = -r[e]^2*k*T*r[o1]^2*(R^2-r[pi]^2)/(-r[b1]*r[pi]^2*k*T*r[o1]^2+ r[e]^2*r[b2]*R^2*k*T-r[e]^2*r[b2]*k*T*r[pi]^2+ r[e]^2*q*I[c]*R^2*r[o1]^2-r[e]^2*q*I[c]*r[o1]^2*r[pi]^2)

That solution makes baby Jesus cry.

MichaelD = Baby Jesus?! :confused:

That looks incredibly boring. Will that equation make my cd player work?

Possibly, it's an equation to minimize noise in a low noise receiver. More practically however, it's something that might be applied to cell phone or WiFi design.

Nobody actually solves an equation like that in the workplace though, you'd usually use a simulator to do it for you but our TA feels we should see what the solution looks like at least once in our lives. :roll: Yeah, whatever.

The forums need an <insert symbol> function for this kind of stuff!
