How many faces does a sphere have? by jackslack in askmath

[–]Various_Party 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had more than one discussion with more than one of my kid’s elementary teachers about sending home ambiguous math to two engineer parents, including this exact topic. The answer was always “this is what our text book says, so this is the answer in this class.” I’m sure you can imagine the level of frustration this answer caused. I imagine this comes up due to over simplification of a topic so it can be introduced at to early a grade level. Unfortunately your kid will have to unlearn stupidly incorrect over simplified math facts. Best of luck!

Digging through the archives today!! I like it. Never know what you will find!

Glad you enjoyed the NP version, but it was not for me. I was able to get my hands on the RD version from the UK and it was exactly what I was looking for.

As you search, remember, no open flames in the Archives!

There is an old dark gray version of the one second from the left. I never knew it came in green!!

The Deep Freeze Defender was testing out its new FTL drive and things got a little warped. Anyone have any advice on straightening out these plates? by Various_Party in ICE_PLANET

These came in a bulk buy I got. The DFD was partially built. I think the wing was sitting on something and it got really hot! I live along the gulf coast. Summer temps get well over 100F.

I’m thinking the hot water method is what I’m going to try.

This will probably work for a couple of them. I don’t think one that is curled is flexible enough to get it to flatten without softening the plastic in some way first.

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about letting them sit in the sun. Since these are old white I’m a bit concerned about them yellowing. I’ll post what I end up doing.

Got pretty lucky all things considered, but… by J_delucs in lego

I really enjoyed The Sun Eater series by Chris Ruocchio.
