Open Challenge to Zoomie Mike (for Project Valour-IT)

BySteeljawscribe

Update (3 Nov): Crickets…all I’m hearin’ are crickets…not up to the challenge? 😉– SJS OK, guess it’s throw down time. Something isn’t kosher when the Navy is trailing the bus men in blue, so here goes. Open challenge to Mike over at No Angst Zone — if Team USAF is ahead of Team Navy after…

Turn,turn,turn

Turn around and you’re two, turn around and you’re four, Turn around, you’re a young boy going out of my door So. Some events are supposed to make one feel – older? Graduations, children moving along and the like. Yet, curiously some of us feel – energized, excited at the prospect of watching fledglings take…

  1. That was a lot of fun! although there must have been a mistake in the calculating.

    10% scored higher
    0% scored the same
    90% scored lower SUPREME NERD. Apply for a professorshop at MIT now!!! 😯

    Can`t be right! I was looking forward to taking the next test until I saw the title…Are you a loser? I don`t want to know. 😥

  2. I scored a 28.

    But then, chick’s dig me! (Especially the one who lets me live in her home, pays for my Trawler and sailboat)

  3. I figured I got pegged on the calculator (still using my HP-41CV — RPN forever!) and having the microscope, telescope (8″ newtonian reflector BTW) AND I still have my slide rule from freshman/sophmore year. All that and a Poli Sci major – go figure… :mrgreen:

  4. 😀

    26

    But what did you expect for a formere grunt with a BA WW II History and an MA in Civil War History!

  5. 😯 😯 dear DC and Albany Rifles: You can’t have been trying very hard. I’m a lowly civilian who doesn’t even much like anything sci-fi, is retired from nursing, AND is Canadian so you must try again…please.

    Still, it was a lot of fun. Thank you, and I hope that your commuting woes go a little smoother.

  6. I assume the Russian means you’re a true rocket scientist, SJS, coz babelfish sez: “IT WILL BE the science of rocket! 😉

    Thanks for the link!

  7. Rough translation of “It really IS rocket science!”…

  8. Oh well, mid-level nerd — that’s me. I got a 76. Probably explains why I’m a computer tech-type.

    Hey, my HP RPN calculator is the *only* one I can use and get correct answers! Had a miserable time with a graphing calculator when I had to be non-RPN.

    At least HP still makes an RPN calculator for when this one dies … 😛

  9. 98%, only 2% higher. Of course as a guy who has written software for web sites, missile systems, fighter planes, and satellites it sorta figures I should score high. RPN for the non-geeky is Reverse Polish Notation and it has nothing to do with the country Poland.
