    What do you mean by that?

    Are you picking a fight? :curious:
    No--- it was just sarcastic.

    Why?
    Are you joking? He was one of the most progressive composers in history, and in my estimation the second best after Bach (bit facile to rank them, but hey). I mean, who else could have written this at that time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS4Pa...ature=related? That belongs in the twentieth century, not the early romantic period.

    Yeah, there's loads of **** in the GCSE syllabus (my one isn't as bad as yours sounds). I thought composing + listening to Mozart's 40th and Handel's Messiah was more than enough to make up for that.
    Naah, didn't do it for me- we had 0 mozart on our spec...
    On the other hand, we had Punjabi MC to make up for it. Bleurgh.

    Yes! I love square numbers and cube numbers too.
    Ok, well i'll admit it's not actually that interesting, but it's quite a nice coincidence that square numbers are involved

    The rotation period of the sun varies according to latitude. It's 25 days at the equator and 36 days at the poles

    With the huge amount of facts like this that we have to know for our astronomy exam, it's nice when nature picks memorable numbers :lol:

    It is lovely.

    I already knew that but I had not realised the square numbers thing. Thank you!

    My bad!

    I misinterpreted your post and thought that you didn't think Beethoven should be on the Music A-Level Syllabus and that it would be a criminal offense if he were! It made me very confused but I see what you meant, now.

    :facepalm:

    EDIT: By the way, I love that composition.
    EDIT2: There we go. The grammar is fixed.

    As Don'tNod said, you can divide both sides by two then factorise.



    It was funny, though.

    :console:



    :cry2:



    Fair point. Decision involves a whole lot of writing... -.-

    I don't mind combinatorics/permutations in Statistics. Measures of location and histograms on the other hand send me to sleep.



    Fine thanks, you?
    Both sides? So what about zero then?

    @everyone: (Vote j.alexanderh for thread grammar Nazi.)

    Re the edit: good. Disliking that should also be a criminal offence.

    I think everyone did- if indian classical music were a judge on bgt it would be Michael McIntyre- no one really likes him and you laugh at him rather than with him.

    0 divided by 2 is still 0.

    I said "both sides" to illustrate that the same thing should be done to both sides of the equation to keep the two expressions equal.
