      Oh ****, actually it's e^2.

          Okay my turn.
          Take the function y=3x^7-5x^4-3x^2-5

          Find the curvature of the line when x=5.

            * is a binary function. You know nothing about it except that for a and b in the domain of *, a*b is also in the domain.

            Given that (a*b)*a = b. Prove that a*(b*a) = b.

                {N} is a function that equals the nearest integer to N^(1/2). Find the sum for N = 1 to infinity of ((2^({N}) + 2^(-{N}))/(2^N))

                  y'(x) = 21x^6 - 20x^3 - 6x
                  y''(x) = 126x^5 - 60x^2 - 6
                  ||y''(5)/|| = too much arithmatic

                  Is it my turn yet?

                    Do you mean that a*(b*a) = b for all a and b?

                      That would defeat the purpose fo the proof.

                            I just took the Putnam exam earlier today, and am trying to fight through the alcoholic haze I'm hiding in so that I can remember some of the other problems on the test.


                            You have a circle of radius 1 in which is enclosed a parabola. Is it possible for the parabola's arc to be longer than 4?

                              If I said "Given that a*(b*a) = b, prove that a*(b*a) = b" then there wouldn't be a need to prove it.

                                These are from the Putnam and you're expecting us to answer them?

                                ****er.

                                I got like a 35 (out of possible 120) when I took it, and I was 2nd highest at McGill.
