Lt. Colonel Remo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 [quote name='Crab Helmet' timestamp='1329706445' post='5828182'] Yeah, I'm sure the twenty-one-year-old who can't do a middle school math problem in under a week or write a complete sentence without five misspellings is going to just have money thrown at him to come to all sorts of colleges. [b]=/ I'm just using the information he's giving me to help with advice. Lying wouldn't really help in this situation and I doubt taking a math test would seem very fun on a forum[/b] I also doubt he was actually doing college math on sophomore year of high school - and I say that as someone who started AP Calc BC at age fifteen, [b]You have my condolences [/b] so I'm not just generally doubting that there are students who do such things. First of all, someone with an obvious learning disability / mental disorder / rampant stupidity like this chap wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near an honours class; if you can't do basic middle school math, as his "impossible" problem posted above demonstrates, then you're not going to be taking AP math as a tenth-grader. [b]He never said he qualified[/b] But more tellingly, look at what he's constantly complaining about throughout this thread: algebra. It's always algebra (which he seems to define as "problems which contain the letter [i]x[/i] instead of an actual number"). But if he'd actually been started on college-level math, he would 1) know that that's now what algebra is, [b]The gaps between Algebra 2, Pre-calc, and some of Calc AB are pretty hazy[/b] [b]not to mention that Pre-Calc is essentially Algebra 2 only with slightly more advanced versions of the same thing.[/b] and 2) complain about how [b]calculus[/b] is an even more abstract meaningless worthless plot by the evil system to make him waste years on a single problem and screw him out of his totally viable dream of becoming an inventor who doesn't actually create new things. [b]He'd make the perfect replacement for Steve Jobs.....too soon?[/b] But calculus hasn't even been mentioned in this thread, and I doubt this twit has ever touched a derivative in his life. [b]And with that my entire argument falls to shables[/b] [/quote][quote name='Comrade Trollestia' timestamp='1329706860' post='5828186'] Don't be so sure Crab. They have scholarships for just about everything these days. [/quote] You can get a scholarship for duck-whistling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 [quote name='iRemo' timestamp='1329706995' post='5828190'] You can get a scholarship for duck-whistling [/quote] Exactly. You can also get a scholarship for being tall, short, any race but white, a woman (which is bullsh**), smart, retarded and various other things.
