aaghghghg you beat me. but I learned this in 4th grade earth science class in Vermont. I always think about the 10:1 ratio when we get those crazy summer storms with like 10 inches of rain. Think of all the snow that'd be!!

beachbum #7 beachbumOG 2002

I've heard 2 different rain to snow conversions. One is 1 in rain=10 in snow or 1 in. rain=12 in of snow.

delliott101 #8 delliott101OG 2002

Number 1 should be 78 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)

deanh77 #8.1 deanh77Founder

#1, nope, its: 364
He gets 78 things on the 12th day.

(1+3+6+10+15+21+28+36+45+55+66+78)


on the first day he gets one thing (1 thing). on the second day, he gets another one of those things plus 2 of the next (3 things). on the third day he gets another one of the first, 2 more of the second and 3 of the third (6 things).

how 'bout some help with my bonus test question:


one positive comment and one criticism of Freuds theories (any of the theories will do)

skaorsk8 #10.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

positive...i definitely know some orally fixated people...on the negative side, all of freuds psychoanalyses center on childhood, which is not always the determining factor in adult behavior. YEAH ME!! WAY TO USE SOME PYSCHO-BABBLE!

boredatwork #10.2 boredatworkOG 2002

I know a bunch of people who had an anal fixation. it's very scary how something like that can make you a very neat person.

skaorsk8 #10.2.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

a whole bunch of people shared ONE anal fixation?? How odd!!
