That’s it. That’s the post.

But, how do they taste?

It’s a small mystery, but we lift large weights by first lifting small ones.

The other is 3/2, because that equals zero if you multiply it by 2 and then subtract 3.

The only way we can solve this mystery is the knowledge that anytime we multiply something by zero, the answer is zero. So, if either expression is, itself, equal to zero, then then we have a possible solution. 1.6 or, as Johan stated in fraction form, is one of these.

There are two things, or expressions, in parentheses that each contain an a, and they are multiplied together to equal zero, if the equation is true.

The problem asks us what value or values could a represent that would make the equation true. That’s the mystery. What is a?

You’re right, of course.
Our educational system failed you by teaching you or allowing you to believe that math is just about answers.
It should be about grasping the problem and mastering processes; about logic and the sweet discomfort of growth; about uncovering mysteries of our universe.

Not just wrong, but wrong AND intellectually lazy. Grats.

Heaven and Hell in one place.

Texans gonna dominate 7-on-7 this summer.

Are they letting Cal pick?

Those of us fighting the good fight in education know that it’s the phones.

I think it’s incredible.
