Sometime's the simplet solutions are the right ones. Smile

I recall putting down a math joke on my Calculus final exam, worth 46% of my mark.

That joke I believe is the reason my mark went from a 67% to a 80%.

Not so much of a joke, more like math proof. Let's see if I can remember:

Suppose there are 3 variables, a, b, which are two numbers not equal to each other, and a+b= t .

a + b = t

(a + b)(a-b) = t(a-b)

a^2 - b^2 = at - bt

a^2 - at = b^2 - bt

a^2 - at + [t^2]/4 = b^2 - bt + [t^2]/4

(a - t/2)^2 = (b-t/2)^2

Take root of both sides.

a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b - t/2 + t/2
a=b

All numbers are the same, and math is pointless. Therefore, I deserve a 100%.

I guess it worked Very Happy
