Please do take pictures of the stuff you make! Yea... I'm not sure that my lectures are going to be as good here, but I've only had one day of class so far, so we'll see (plus, I'm taking everything over again... ^^;;). Sounds like you're having awesome fun though. =) OMG robotics! Please do take pictures of the stuff you make!

I have stolen it for future reference. BTY MLK A and MLKB have both already qualified for NAQT at a tournament in Alabama. loved the invalid proof list. I have stolen it for future reference.

I just had to say that I found the list of bad proof techniques absolutely hilarious. I was bawling on each one. I particularly enjoyed the proof by accumulated evidence; if only that were true, the Riemann Hypothesis would be solved! Also the technique of labelling a proof "trivial" also resonated with me. Alas, too many textbooks still employ this technique to cut down on length. - Arkajit Hey Evan,
