:: Monday, December 20, 2010 :: A Walk Just walked back from the dentist. (Have been looking for a good dentist since have not liked the two my mom sent me two. Loved my pediatric dentist but too old to go to him now. Asked around at school and got some funny recommendations.) Anyway, according to GoogleMaps, from dentist's office to home, via Austin Parkway, is 3.8 miles and should take 1 hour 14 min. I started walking at 4:14pm and got home at 5:24pm. Gorgeous day for a walk. Just wish I didn't have my purse or a jacket. Still, the walk was worth it even if impromptu. :: Thursday, December 16, 2010 :: Twin Vibe? and Catch-up Was telling J a math trick my team-teacher taught me today (after which I was immediately curious about the "why does it work" and so promptly figured out the algebraic proof behind it and was met with disbelief and slight judgment from both team teachers). The trick involves how to find the product of two numbers by using their distance from 100. Anyway, first we started with abstract and I told J to pick two numbers between 90 and 100. Then I figured that we needed actual numbers to properly explain the example and said to pretend we were working with 95 and 96. Turns out, those are the exact same numbers she picked. She of course immediately went to reasoning behind it and saying that a person who wants two numbers that are easy to remember will of course pick 95 and then 96 is right there. Does make sense.
