filosofy question

[Kuciwalker]

If a homework problem is worth zero points and I didn't answer it, did I get it wrong?

[Zkribbler]

No, you idiot, you didn't do it.

Next question.

[Dis]

you didn't get it right.

The answer depends on whether or not the teacher even remembers having handed out the assignment in the first place...

[Ninot]

No.

[Dinner]

No doubt the same problem will be on the final.

[DRoseDARs]

What's his score then? Divide the 0 points he earned by the 0 points the assignment was worth and what do you get? Another filosofy assignment: Explore the deeper meaning of "Undefined," ten pages double-spaced, due Tuesday.

[Dinner]

No need for ten pages. In math the meaning of undefined can be expressed very simply.

Er no. They have a few zero-point problems at the beginning of each homework as an easy introduction to the methods we'll be using for the rest of it. I don't do them because I already know how to do all of the problems pretty well.

ahh, but he said it was a philosophy assignment. Philosophy isn't like math. It's long winded and pointless.

[Kuciwalker]

No I didn't

[DRoseDARs]

But I did.

[DRoseDARs]

And Oerdin, it's a non-deferred class. They need to produce something substantive by the end of the semester.

No, but you might have to become a liberal arts major if this continues.
