all the foreign exchange students at my school are upsessed with techno and do all this funny dances to it but their serious. its hilarious to watch though.

haha this reminds me of marco!! he was a german exchange student (who left but is coming back soon!! ) he listened to the weirdest music, mostly techno.. it cracked me up

I think it's usually the Central-Europeans who are really into the techno.

As for Alex...
What kind of T.V. do you watch? Is it all home-grown?

runxxwild07:
nope, i dont have a yard which kind of sucks i guess, but that means i dont need to mow the grass. pretty much nobody in my part of town has a yard. most people live in apartments, and only the really rich can afford to stay in houses because rent is way expensive here. i have one friend who has a backyard but he lives like an hour away from everything lol.

i dont usually watch TV, but if you have cable you can get shows from america. i like watching heroes, NCIS, greek, scrubs and house, but i'll always watch them online, cuz im to lazy to figure when
they're on tv.

A 'snooker' table (measuring 8 metres by 4m) with 4 'pockets' (measuring 0.5m and placed at diagonal slants in all 4 corners) contains 10 balls (each with a diameter of 0.25m) placed at the following coords:

2m,1m...(white ball)
...and red balls...
1m,5m... 2m,5m... 3m,5m
1m,6m... 2m,6m... 3m,6m
1m,7m... 2m,7m... 3m,7m


The white ball is then shot at a particular angle from 0 to 360 degrees (0 being north, and going clockwise).
Just to make it clear, a ball is 'potted' if at least half of the ball is in area of the 'pocket'

Assuming the balls travel indefinitely (i.e. no loss of energy via friction, air resistance or collisions), answer the following:

a: What exact angle/s should you choose to ensure that all the balls are potted the quickest?
b: What is the minimum amount of contacts the balls can make with each other before they are all knocked in?
c: Same as b, except that each ball - just before it is knocked in - must not have hit the white ball on its previous contact (must be a red instead of course).
d: What proportion of angles will leave the white ball the last on the table to be potted?

lolwut

Come on Alex its simple 2+2=5 math.
