Hannelore's Mind

(1/4) > >>

oldbushie:
My mind goes off on tangents just like hers. It's bizarre what I end up thinking about sometimes. XD

Mad Cat:
Ever seen one of those "Guess the number of marbles in the jar, win a prize!" features of a church carnival or whatnot? Whenever I encounter one, I have to sit cross-legged on the grass, whip out a pen, paper, and calculator and proceed to take representative counts of part of the jar and make simplifying  assumptions and calculations based on the geometry of the marbles (or pennies or stones or...) and the geometry of the jar and 20 minutes later come up with what I considered to be the upper limit on the count and then make an error analysis to reduce that to come up with my guess.

I had a math teacher who made that into a weekly quiz.

"Writing this actually gave me a headache." It gave me a boner, and i'm waaay too old for boners. Please stop teasing us with Hannelore - there are no real women like that. Or not nearly enough, anyway.
