    You just simply cannot lose 20 Kg in 6 weeks without it being skeletal muscle mass as well as fat. To lose the weight healthily will take you at least 3 months. Sorry

    Non-white races: Do you often have to deal with latent racism?

    A white person lives under the threat of being called a racist every day. They are the people who are most accused of being racist and quite frankly, I think that they are the least racist race. Conversely, being a brown man, I find that us curries are very racist in the type of latent racism...

    Banked Curve Mechanics in the sky

    Well in this particular example you just have the thrust from the wings in place of the normal force from the "banked track." If you think about it you can say that the thrust from a plane's wings is perpendicular to the wings and the angle at which the wings are banked constitutes the angle at...

    Australian Science Olympiads

    Oh, sorry my profile was wrong for all this time. Anyway, I found that most of the exam was just kind of finding out stuff from what was given to you. You only really need a basic understanding of Bio, and the rest is just information processing skills. I couldn't have got that good though...

    Stupid Question

    This is quite an interesting question and originally came in one of those AMC competitions, like around Q13 so its not meant to be that hard. Just express 2^1000 and 10^something and then you know that 10^1 has 2 digits, 10^2 has 3 and so on.

    Scabing marks :) (its okey for the HSC lol)

    Last year in my maths class, there was a kid with a mental condition who constantly pestered the teacher. He was pretty smart though and he would come around 10th because the teacher just hated him, except by the end of that day he would have scabbed 15-20 percent and would be coming at least...

    Study music?

    Re: Do you listen to music when you study? I watch T.V while doing maths, I found that the speed at which I do the maths stays the same so I might as well do it.

    Is chemisty freaking awesome?

    I do all three and that's around about right. The thing with chem and phys is that as you progress through the subject, you realize that there is an underlying unity in nature. Biology is just memorising stuff though.

    30 things to do in an exam when you know your gonna fail

    I did 12 for all my SC's. For maths, the guy who sat next to me brought one of those pencils that you get in art, the ones where the entire thing is graphite. He finished the exam and colored in the entire table and then made the examiners clean it.
