And some I found: I put what-have-you in there even though i felt it might be wrong. (better to play and be wrong than not play at all?)

"One root of the polynomial is 2+3i," Try said cunninglly.
"Square root of 2, e, pi, cube root of 7," Try said illicidlly. "2, 17, 41, 73," Try said plainly. (according to my dictionary, this word is rarely used)
"The answers are 1.23, 3/4, 5/3, 19," Try said raucously.
"It could be any positive integer," Try said nosely. Laughing

Try do you have a BIG hairy nose? You know what they say! snickers.) I had a cute long haired guinea pig named snickers. Very Happy

(where was i? Shocked

oh yea playing a game)~

"As soon as the rain stops, we'll break camp," said Tom instantly.
"All I did was pull the spark plug wire," Tom said stupidly.
"Could you pass me that towel?" Tom asked, daintily. (tom's effeminate)
"Be careful with that saw!," Tom said openly.
"Another 7 days has gone by," mused Tom wearily.
"Are modern paintings worth stealing?" asked Tom annoyingly.
"Argh, I've just been stabbed," said Tom hastily.
"Are you gonna eat that?" Tom asked hungrily.
"All right, who hurled the ball through my window?" asked Tom pointedly.
"2 bdrm furn w 5 appl," said Tom aptly.
"Alter your course: glacier up ahead," Tom responded instantly.
"And lose a few," Tom said warily.
"Alas, I am inconsolable," said Tom u...y.
"Brew me another coffee," said Tom plainly
"Can you read music?" Tom asked nairly.
"Can't you see I'm cramming for an exam?" Tom asked timidly.
"Careful with that power saw," said Tom deaftly.
"I've never seen you before," said Tom shyly

Come now it does have; an uphill capacity of 9600 skiers per hour on three triple chair lifts, two T-bars, and three rope tows servicing thirteen trails. That's the kind of hell I like. Shocked

That ^, reminds me of the time i went skiing with my x=husband. He was a good long-term skillful skier and i a novice. Somehow :wink: Rolling Eyes

he convinced me to ski down a diamond trail at Wildcat Mtn. during an ice storm,,, i fell the whole way, when i stopped tumbling i'd just and cry. I didn't get hurt at all (well, minus my pride) I looked like that guy on Wide Wide World of sports. I'm suprised we still speak.
He did help me out on my downward spiral, he effortlessly glided up to me when i was in a puddle of tears and asked me what was wrong. In my head i said @%# do you think is wrong!? and continued to fall down the long, very cold, windy and dangerous 90 degree icy slope. Thanks for helping/making me relive that precious moment.

SUBWAY

Subs: 17 * 2 * 6 * 2^13 * 10 = 16,711,680
Wraps: (17 + 3) * 2^13 * 10 = 1,638,400
Total = 18,350,080

There are indeed 18,350,080 different sandwiches. You could dine 5 nights a week for 70,577 years and not eat the same sandwich twice!

The total number of different sandwiches can be computed by multiplying the number of basic sandwiches times the number of toppings times the number of sauces.

To compute the number of basic sandwiches, compute the number of subs and the number of wraps separately and then add them together. The number of subs = 17 x 2 x 6 = 204 (17 is the number of subs listed in the menu, 2 is for six-inch or twelve-inch, 6 is the number of bread choices). The number of wraps is 17 + 3 = 20 (17 is the number of six-inch subs that can be ordered as wraps, 3 is for the three additional wraps listed). So, the total number of basic sandwiches is 204 + 20 = 224.

To figure the number of ways that the toppings can be selected, you must consider every possible combination of toppings and add them together. You must add together the following:

the number of ways in which 1 topping can be selected (13)
the number of ways in which 2 toppings can be selected (78)
the number of ways in which 3 toppings can be selected (286)
the number of ways in which 4 toppings can be selected (715)
the number of ways in which 5 toppings can be selected (1287)
the number of ways in which 6 toppings can be selected (1716)
the number of ways in which 7 toppings can be selected (1716)
the number of ways in which 8 toppings can be selected (1287)
the number of ways in which 9 toppings can be selected (715)
the number of ways in which 10 toppings can be selected (286)
the number of ways in which 11 toppings can be selected (78)
the number of ways in which 12 toppings can be selected (13)
the number of ways in which 13 toppings can be selected (1)
the number of ways in which no topping can be selected (1)
The sum is 8,192 different ways!

The number of choices for sauces is ten (any one of the nine sauces or none of them).

Therefore, the total number of different sandwiches is 224 x 8,192 x 10 = 18,350,080.

If you can choose any number of sauces:
Subs: 17 * 2 * 6 * 2^13 * 2^9 = 855,638,016
Wraps: (17 + 3) * 2^13 * 2^9 = 83,886,080
Total = 939,524,096

WOW! Unbelievable.

(Paul Simon)

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

CHORUS:
You Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

CHORUS

That's the first five, anyone else?

im guessing 2 17 41 73 is some sort of sequence but sequence doesnt start with a p.....and i doubt polynomially is a word (and its not even a plynomial, its just numbers)

Today I went down to the old building that houses my collection of aircraft including the Spruce Goose, to meet with the city building code official.

It contains 472,000,000 cubic feet, and it is 114 feet 2inches tall.
The perimeter of this rectangular building is 2.2 miles. Did I mention; it is pretty big?

She said that before she would grant a permit for an extension, I would have to supply the dimensions of the building: its length Question

and width

As I didn't have a tape with me, is there anyone who could assist?
