There's nothing modern about skiing/sledding

Just found out BBCAmerica shows the X-Files twice a day! Yipee! Mulder and Scully!

I realized this morning while I was eating breakfast that if you know that the square root of a number, a, is b, the square root of (a+2) is very close to (b+1/b).

For example, the square root of 100 is 10, so the square root of 102 is approximately 10 + 1/10 (10.1 squared is 102.01).

Also, the square root of (a+1) is very close to (b + 1/(2*b)). -> The square root of 101 is approximately (10 + 1/20) = 10.05.

This makes it easy to calculate square roots for numbers close to known squares.

This is less accurate for small numbers, the error being (1/b) squared in the first case and 1/(4b^2) in the second case.

Re: the above post.

That's a fucked up thing to realize in the morning.

What's making me happy: a big bag of smoke, and long weekend's worth of happy memories.

Big Sarge 01-12-2011 08:12 PM

Illicit drugs? OMG!!!!

DanaC 01-12-2011 08:14 PM

Yeah...got a few licit ones too!

Big Sarge 01-12-2011 08:26 PM

Now I'm worried about you. Don't they have drug education programs there? Haven't you seen "Reefer Madness?"

How ironic. I saw Freakouts and Flashbacks on grass.

I saw the skin on the back of my hand hitching and crawling on mushrooms.
