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.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

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.Originally posted by loinburger View Postsohcahtoa

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.Originally posted by rah View PostNice to know my brain hasn't totally turned to mush as I've gotten older.

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.Originally posted by loinburger View PostI'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.

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.Originally posted by loinburger View PostIf you've never done drugs then what's your excuse for sucking at math?
I had a 1360 SAT so I didn't suck at math when this stuff was recent knowledge."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

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.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
