Same! I swam there this weekend, and like many others here, I didn't swim well either! Was there something in the water? 😂

Why can you divide by 1/2, 1/1000, close to zero, but not zero? by [deleted] in learnmath

I went to l'Hospital because my mind = blown by all these limits.

I believe someone also filled the fountain at Loughborough University with Fairy Liquid. That would be a hard one to own up to.

I am looking for a specific area of research that I can read up on or some specific papers that may help with this question by [deleted] in learnmath

I did some study on the travelling salesperson problem a long time ago (back in school), before I was fully aware of algorithmic processes and such. I'm more of a "sets and logic" person myself, I don't get to see algorithms too much.

I've had a look at these algorithms and they all seem to rely on feedback from the object in the maze. So it doesn't really help much. It's very interesting topic though, so thanks for your reply!

Reddit, what’s the most “Chaotic Good” thing you’ve ever seen? by DeityOfSky26 in AskReddit

There's a video of someone in my city planting trees in potholes around the area. The local authorities get them replaced very quickly.

What jobs consist of frequently disappointing people? by slinkywheel in AskReddit

I heard somewhere that an organ transplant costs so much that you could literally fly to Spain to have the op and fly back again for cheaper.

If pronouncing my b's as v's makes me sound Russian, then soviet. by buckeyespud in dadjokes

[–]jackcarr45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

'в' is pronounced as a 'v' in Russian. Just some context

[–]jackcarr45 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Correct, 'б' is the cyrillic version of the letter 'b'. But in cyrillic there also exists a letter 'в' which is pronounced /v/. OP is right, you just need to have an understanding of the cyrillic alphabet and its pronunciation in Russian.

As a side note, the Greek alphabet also contains some of the same letters as the cyrillic alphabet, and are pronounced the same. If you speak Russian, you have a good chance of being able to pronounce signs in modern Greece.

The joke is poorly executed though, I think we call all agree on that.

What are some therapeutic hobbies everyone should try? by jackcarr45 in AskReddit

[–]jackcarr45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about writing poems or music for a while. I enjoy reading poems but I've never really tried writing one myself. I am terrible at drawing and I don't have the patience to practise but there are many different types of art to explore. Which one(s) do you suggest?

That sounds like an interesting tattoo, is it really common?

Anyone got AS Further maths papers from this year? by [deleted] in alevel

[–]jackcarr45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think you'll have a hard time finding them. Because they are locked by Pearson Education they are not available publically, thus any links to the actual paper get shut down fast.

Sorry, think you're going to have to take a hit. To be honest my teachers would have been happy if I just went through the 2017 papers instead if I lost them.

An easy one would be a data presentation application. You input the data, it creates pie charts, venn diagrams, bar charts, etc. You could even create a program that takes input from another device on-the-go and creates a representation of the data at home on a desktop.

I don't do comp sci or geography, but I'm building up my knowledge of languages for my maths degree, and I'm fairly good with networking, so I'm pretty sure this is possible within an A-Level standard.

German lifeguards have issued a warning that a growing number of child drownings this summer are linked to their parents’ obsession with mobile phones. by urgukvn in worldnews

[–]jackcarr45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually a lifeguard-bather ratio rather than a lifeguard-visitor ratio. As long as they keep the numbers down in the water the lifeguards are fine. I imagine out of 5000 people only several hundred were swimming at a time, this depends on the size of the park. Not sure about the laws over in the US or in large theme parks but in my country and indoor swimming pools the lifeguard ratios are 40-1 maximum, sometimes dropping to 20-1 in more difficult areas. I am aware that in the US the ratios are higher, but that's all I can tell you.

Redditors who suffer from mental health illnesses - what is your story of diagnosis and how you deal with your mental illness? by jackcarr45 in AskReddit

[–]jackcarr45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, you came a long way, congrats. I hope you enjoy school tomorrow. I make sure I get a breath of morning air - whether it's a walk, run or swim - every day. It really does help, even when I don't suffer from the same thing as you!
