The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[Shirayuki]

thanks ^^"

how are you np?

[Cacoethes]

I think that's pretty good shira!
Way better than I could ever do!

I am so tired. Been up since 3am. It's now 6pm!

[Shirayuki]

thanks although i do think you could have done better ^^"

aw, why've you been up since 3 though?

[Eska]

I'm glad it's mild for you Beckie! I was once in Trieste (still North Italy but the other side) in February and it was freezing! Very cold wind.

[Cacoethes]

Been up since 3 because I had to be at the airport for 5am!
And I always get to the airport super early because I panic!

I guess I'm lucky then eska!
How was it apart from the weather?

[Eska]

It was ok. Has a very different feel from Venice! Interesting though.

[Shirayuki]

i do that too! my mom has to be like "NO. we DON'T have to get there super early, it will be fine."

what happened that made it interesting?

[Cacoethes]

Interesting is good!

My mum is the same shira!
I always worry!

[Shirayuki]

so do i! ^^"

true!

i don't like factorials :(

i've simplified 7!*9! divided by 8!*8! to 1828419200 divided by 112104400 and now i have to divide, i'm not looking forward to it.

[Shirayuki]

many thanks to mathcounts :P

sad thing is we're not aloud to use a calculator

[Shirayuki]

and i just realised we're supposed to express it as a common fraction.

do any of you guys like factorials?

[nonperson]

Haven't got a clue what you're on about, Shira. =P

I'm cold...

[Cacoethes]

Neither have I!!!

Hope you warm up soon np!

[nonperson]

The cat stole my warm spot and all the blanket. =(

What're you doing with your Venetian evening, Beckie?

[Cacoethes]

Oh no!
Naughty kitty!

I'm going to have an early night so I've showered and am chilling out with the ipad and the russell howard hour!
The real adventuring starts tomorrow!
I'm only a 10 min walk from all the main stuff

[nonperson]

He's on my lap now.

Sounds like a good evening. An early night is definitely in order! And that's really good you're nearby all the touristy stuff.

[Cacoethes]

The company that does these trips make sure all the hotels are right where the action is!
So I won't have to get stuck on any wrong boats again! Hopefully...

I love GoT
Last season was disappointing though

[nonperson]

I liked the big battle at Winterfell though.

[Shirayuki]

haven't got a clue what game of thrones is but it doesn't seem like something i should watch

oh, factorials are when you take the number your given and multiply every number before it to get the answer

ie. 9! (the exclamation point means factorial) is 362880

make sense? ^^"
sorry i'm horrible at explaining and for the competition, we'll only have 45 seconds to solve this- without a calculator :( fun.

[Eska]

Wow I haven't thought about factorials in a long time. I don't remember particularly liking or disliking them.
