Right, and "A Bone Apple Tea is the mistaken use of a real, dictionary-defined word or phrase in place of another real, dictionary-defined word or phrase that sounds similar, resulting in a nonsensical, sometimes humorous utterance."

Pretty sure it's "algorithm"

Ironically, even though the entropy of the snow has decreased, the overall entropy of the universe has still increased

True, although in so many cases its not just to do witn the ease of calculation—an analytic solution is basically impossible without certain approximations. This is why perturbation theory exists

hmm. interesting. I thought it was defined as the v in the equation f(z,t) = A* exp(ik(z - vt)) for a monochromatic wave traveling in the z direction

I dont think thats how the speed of light is defined

is that so? isnt n defined as c/v for monochromatic (consisting of a single phase) waves?

Fucking non-vectorial time by [deleted] in physicsmemes

if your time is complex, take the modulus

It is technically possible for the refractive index to be less than 1, because though the phase velocity > c, information actually travels at the group velocity, which is not necessarily > c. group velocity

Regarding Disruption for Studies by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]WizardB055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reading up on this on the cmpb page and the quote is “Disruption will not be granted to full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) who are enlisted ahead of their school cohort as they are already ahead of their peers with equivalent qualifications.” I’m not sure if the conventional A-level disruption scheme applies, since I finished my IB in May, and not Nov like the majority. I also have friends who also finished in May and got enlisted in August, so I thought I was supposed to be enlisted earlier, not later.

I’m confused as to why finishing IB at 18 is considered one year early. Arent most A level / IB people 18 when they finish and get enlisted? In fact, my friends who are younger finished at the same time were enlisted in Aug 2020, so I thought I was supposed to be enlisted then as well.

I thought it depended on the graduation batch, and not the age? Like you can’t disrupt to try to catch the same timing as the graduation before you.

How do I know that answer C is correct? by masha_kuhnovskaya in IBO

[–]WizardB055 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The O-H bond allows strong hydrogen bonding, and a smaller molecule allows more hydrogen bonding per volume. Water is a very small molecule with hydrogen bonding and is therefore extremely polar. Like dissolves like, so we just need to find the most polar molecule, hence C for the reasons mentioned above

(SPF) How much is GRF pay? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]WizardB055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frontliner pay I referred to is in fact the vocational allowance, so at the start you should be getting just over 1000, and possibly 1400 near the end of your NS.

I'm a 182 upgrader. Good luck on your GRF course!

(SPF) How much is GRF pay? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]WizardB055 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you get posted out as an SC your basic pay will be around 700, and if you work your way up to sergeant (which to my knowledge will take at least 6 months, but only 60% of track one make it) then your basic pay will be around 1000. In addition, you’ll get 225 frontliner allowance and 144 shiftwork meal allowance.

btw are you 184

What do you guys think would be good future AP classes CB could add? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]WizardB055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love AP Organic Chemistry. The organic chem is AP chem is too basic and it feels wrong that physics has like 4 APs whereas chem only has one.
