    242 is the answer if it's the space diagonal - 6 * (11 / sqrt(3))^2

      Nice to know my brain hasn't totally turned to mush as I've gotten older. And to think I was warned about doing all those drugs when I was younger.

        Seriously. The fact that I do remember trig functions made me think my giant sun disc problem was way more complicated than it actually was. All I actually needed to remember were the rules for determining triangle similarity.

          I've never tried it, but I imagine that thinking while smoking pot is like running while carrying weights - you train while at a disadvantage so that you're that much more on the ball when you need to think/run for real.

              But whenever I have problems pulling up something from memory (especially names) I do wonder if my inability to do it quickly is related to age or experiences.

                If you've never done drugs then what's your excuse for sucking at math?

                  I don't remember how to do that stuff. If I took a refresher course, I could do it. Judging by the ease of the arithmetic questions, the test is not difficult at all.

                  I had a 1360 SAT so I didn't suck at math when this stuff was recent knowledge.

                        That test would be very hard for Russian students. Because it is written in English

                          the arithmetic ones are easy. the rest, i have no idea. i suck at maths and school was more than a decade ago.

                            Had a looked through them, answered the first 9 in my head. Couldn't be arsed investing time in the rest. Are Russian students this thick?

                              Alby you suck at math. This test is pretty damn easy.

                                Also, has the SAT scoring system changed since Alby took the SATs cuz I think his score is just over half of mine.

                                EDIT: 2260/2400 or 1550/1600. Those were easy tests. I honestly should have done better, but I didn't want to retake them.

                                Oh yeah, and 800 on the physics SAT II and 770 on Math Level 2 SAT II. Honestly should have had a perfect on the math but I think I forgot to answer a question.
