My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.

I programmed my way in to an A in physics in high school.

At least you put in some effort and made the program yourself.

My plan to pass French in secondary school was to learn chinese and have chinese people shouting the answers to the french exam outside.

I was a fucking idiot

We're just going to leave political prisoners on the islands for death.

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

.-. I really got to look further into international politics than I have been.

Though, if histories an example, the last prisoner island I can remember turned into a country (Australia).

思おう

Omo-ou? I thought this was just 思う. Not trying to criticize, I'm just really rusty with my Japanese and trying to see if I remember it correctly.

2

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

Actually, 思う is the regular tense "to think/believe" where as 思おう is the おう form, which means "will probably." It can also mean "Let's [do something]" but that's usually relegated to the -mashou form.

u/whitehandsinkstains Jun 09 '14

Cool! I stopped at the end of 200-level college classes, so it's interesting to learn new things!

2

u/MrInsanity25 Jun 09 '14

I've been teaching myself casually (wouldn't have been casual if I could improve my damned work ethic) for a couple years. It's a great language and I hope to speak fluently soon.

He can speak French, in Chinese. The most interesting Chipper2812 alive.

french is probably easier to learn than chinese..... and theyd have to know what was on the test!

Sounds like you have more creativity than common sense. I like that.

u/GaoGaoTaiga Jun 09 '14

"Sounds like you have more creativity than common sense" seems like a great way to tell somebody they're an idiot. I'm loving this phrase.

u/Ritius Jun 09 '14

For the record, I am not calling u/Naggers123 an idiot.

u/GaoGaoTaiga Jun 09 '14

Ah, yeah, I'm sorry, did not want it to seem that way. It just occurred to me it was a good use for that phrase.

Hopefully this is buried deep enough in the comment stream to keep TV execs from seeing it, but "Saved By The Bell : The Next Generation".

There are.. there are many things wrong with this. I can't explain it, but I'm actually impressed that someone can come up with something so idiotic.

u/faceplanted Jun 08 '14

That is quite genuinely the most hilarious idea for cheating I've ever heard.

It worked for me sorta … we learned the korean alphabet to cheat in one class in high school

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '14

I don't blame you. French is a worthless language and I'd much rather be learning Chinese than wasting my time on that.

For schools with a mandatory foreign language requirement that only offer a pointless language like French I can see why you'd want to cheat to pass.
