The "Test of Genuis" or so They Say..
Anyhow, it's this fun little actrivity we get with certain subs. And I just wanted to see how some of the folks here fared.
Anyhow since I'm lazy and tired, I'm just gonna post one question here now and it will be cut in legnht.
If you have a total of 20 which are just dimes and nickels, how many of each do you have to get a total of $1.35?

what's the limit of the function
f(x)=
X^2-5x+6
------------------
x-3
(that's a fraction, by the way)
(and "X^2" is X squared)
...as x approaches 3?
t(^-^)

Hmm let's see.. You could make that
(x-3)(x-2)
------------
x-3
X-3 cancels out which leaves you with
x-2 when x is approaching 3
Which means the limit is 1.

Well, that was more of a test in who knows Cal, I presume.
Anyhow, next question I suppose
What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with 4 straight cuts of a knife?

10 just cause apple pie is better than cherry pie and having 10 slices would be cool

Well, I think you had to cut the pie from the top area only, I don't believe a sidew cut is allowed, but eh.

Okay, I'm confused now. This was a really simple question. So why are we cutting pies and doing equations?
