Randall Flagg Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 PEMDAS is a waste of classroom time, it's only useful for unrealistic, poorly-written math expressions whose sole purpose is to test if you know PEMDAS, and if we spent that time teaching how to write proper, sensible equations we'd have a nation that is better at math

It was to be given in order to evaluate if someone was smart enough to be able to deal Craps. (Personally, I think that's bullsh!t, I could teach just about anyone the math of the game, it's the hand dexterity that is the real skill). It had 2 PEMDAS equations on it. 90% of the people who took it got them wrong. The rest of the test was basic 3rd grade math(the only math I'm qualified to speak on) and guess what!? Yup, more than half the people who took it failed miserably. We are bad at math in this country. Just plain bad at it. Most of us retain nothing after graduation. Pythagorean theorem, pfff. Quadratic formula, nope! Postulates of euclidean geometry, hell no! Logic... actually, I'm pretty sure I got that one. But that's it. +-×÷√π that's all I got.

Plus we spend way too much time on other stupid subjects and not actually important ones. Spent way too much time learning the same 6 courses on American history, most of which turned out wrong by the way, then any technical or life skills.

millbank Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Ok, but let's not pretend that Toronto cares about four of those.Make no mistake this is also a most significant week for Buffalo with the upcoming NFL draft and NHL lottery . Hopefully both will get some luck and Bills draft finally a good Quarterback , it’s really been since Kelly and Sabres be able to draft a elite defenseman , to really be able to go forward with real valid hope . Can’t imagine how charged the fan base would be Edited April 25, 2018 by millbank
Derrico Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 Let's hope Boston Garden is rocking tonight!! Makes me sick cheering for them but lesser of two evils....
SwampD Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 This is great! I admit to be rooting for TO. Gardner dove.
WildCard Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Man, forgot how great a game 7 is. Energy is unreal in Boston right now Rask, not great Edited April 25, 2018 by Jokertecken
SwampD Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 Man, forgot how great a game 7 is. Energy is unreal in Boston right now Rask, not great Idk. That was a great goal. Of course Millbury can't give any credit that it was a sick. It had to be lapse by Rask.
WildCard Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Idk. That was a great goal. Of course Millbury can't give any credit that it was a sick.

WildCard Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Posted April 26, 2018 Looks like Toronto does the ol' Blackhawks trick with subtle interference. Honestly wish we'd do that
bunomatic Posted April 26, 2018 Report Posted April 26, 2018 Let's hope Boston Garden is rocking tonight!! Makes me sick cheering for them but lesser of two evils.... I'm rooting for the Bruins too. You got to back someone. Canadas team my arse TO.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 26, 2018 Report Posted April 26, 2018 Looks like Toronto does the ol' Blackhawks trick with subtle interference. Honestly wish we'd do that Ol' Blackhawks trick? Sir, Babcock's Red Wings were doing that while the city of Chicago still didn't remember they had a hockey team.
WildCard Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Posted April 26, 2018 I'm rooting for the Bruins too. You got to back someone. Canadas team my arse TO. I'm rooting for True's scenario where the Pitt of Doom swallows the entire Garden tonight
