Very nice.
Mine was clumsy, 20%, and 2x14 < 30, so 20+%

Who has the experience organizing? Who has the vision? The commitment? ARISE." 🌅

Part of real organizing has to be organizing from the bottom up, starting in our chapters. Empowering members is how we will reshape our schools, how we will effectively engage our communities, how we will take on Trump, and how we will imagine a brighter future for our city.

To improve our jobs, to improve the experience of school for our students, to improve our relationships in our communities, and to work to make New York City a happier more vibrant place for everyone who lives here - all of this requires real organizing.

And our mandate should be growth - not of standardized test scores - but of the intellectual and social growth of our students.

My friend didn't like feeling tricked, but he did me one better.

Take 2 lines (circles) on an ellipsoid, parallel to the plane formed by 2 axes (call them x and y), and add one line (a circle) through the y-z-plane.

Need to play w/the dimensions, but yeah, we could get a square. In fact, 2 squares

In the ratio of 1:1, nothing works.
Ratio 2:1, 49,98 fails, 48,96 works. (48,96) = 48
Ratio 3:1, greatest possible is 33, skip
Ratio 3:2, greatest possible is 33...
Wait, the limiting factor is 100/(max of the 2), so can't do better than 2:1.

Answer is 48.

The adding left to right? It's true. Since I was a kid. We had two student teachers in 3rd grade, and I remember them calling over my teacher (the cooperating teacher), totally freaked out about me adding backwards

(or was it multiplying? I do that backwards too. Errors happen later, w/less effect)

People want kids to learn arithmetic like me (I'm kind of fast). I tell them I add left to right. Always a pause on that. And then they say "but you know the right way!"

I do. I know the right way. And the wrong way. And my way. And other ways

I have choices. Which is good. And ties their tongues.

When I was seven I thought 10 was old. At 12 it was 17. The gap definitely got bigger. At some point it definitely stopped growing. And lately theres ‘been a bit of shrinkage.

So if we are going for “constant distance“ my graph probably won’t work. But if we care about “never intersect“ – bingo!
