Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) So did you pass?

I don't think that Lews is learning trigonometry in his math class.
In France he would be in 4th of college.
I don't know what is the equivalent in belgium or in USA.

Nope!

@Barta: 3 grade in high school I guess you mean high school (age 12-18) don't you.

any way i made this to explain.



blue is sine
yellow is cosine
green is tangent

sin x = opposing side / croced side
cos x = near side / croced side
tan x = opposing side / near side

with x the corner of the triangle in degrees. pretty basic stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

so in this example of 45° it would be
sin 45° = 0,70710678118654752440084436210485
cos 45° = 0,70710678118654752440084436210485
tan 45° = 1

Hmm. Thanks, it helps, but its not basic for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

@ Morbo
Very great answer and the the drawing is very good and well made.
But have you seen my last post in page 2 of this topic ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Mon français est un peu mal. Mais votre explication apparaît juste

Barta says: "OK A tangent is a line which has only one common point with a circle."

I will start Mort today. I decided to re-read my Terry Pratchett collection (sadly incomplete but I only buy paperback so it's all of the DW in PB available).
It's roughly 28 books. Probably more with "Science of the Discworld" and "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook".

@Barta
Oh this is one of my dreams! To visit France and see the Versailles. I am so interested in French history. And I am sure that I will love it. French wine is one of the best in the world! I think the places that produce wine called "satau" or something. French country side will be great I suppose. Hope I can make it sometime and have the money to travell there.
Yes repairing the Tower must be a very difficult job. It seems so high! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Barta what do you do when you realize that one of your students has one of the problems you mentioned above? Is it permited to you to talk about it with your students and try to help? I really don´t know how the system works at all. I have read that there are advisors in schools abroad that can help children with such problems. Is it true? Here in Greece we do not have any in schools. Pretty bad. All the bad things happen to our schools. The only thing that saves some children are some teachers that they care.
Luc - very curious to know about other countries-

I finished MORT last night! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> I have 9 so far. Luc, in my school (private) we have a counciler to talk to kids if they have problems. I had remember i had a problem, I wont post it, but I talked to her, and the teacher's help if they can. Encouraged.

in malaysia, it's only recently that the government realised counsellors are needed in schools to help students who are in need of help. there are quite a few batches of counsellors out there already in schools but this is not enough. overall attitude of the counsellors must be constantly be checked. also mental & emotional stability. the counsellors themselves should be in contact with one another to share ideas, infos, problems, solutions, tips, etc. that way help rendered to students will be of quality. but first & foremost, Luc is right by saying that the counsellors must be caring enough.

death, bomb squad can only afford to make one mistake? well a teacher's mistake will last for generations! now can any ordinary bomb do that?

i still believe teachers have very heavy responsibility to guide the young & shape them into the new generation that the nation hopes for.

so that means u're a guiding light, barta.
hail to the president of PIF!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

Lucretia: Personally I prefer german wines: France is mostly famous for Champagne and red whine but I prefer white wine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

@DATD
Oh I see <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Well I like red wine very much. I am not very fond of Champagne but red wine is my most fav. Some friends have send me some good French Bordeux (help me with the spelling here Barta please) and it is the most tastefull red wine!

I love al 3 of them: red, white wine and champagne.

@Lucretia: it's "Bordeaux"

I knew it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I knew there was something missing from this word <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
thnx Viper <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dunno why, but for some reason when I read Luc's post I could mentally see here jumping up from her chair and yelling "I knew it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ,I knew it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> "

Grin ... still laughing about that. ( i said about that meaning the jumping up and down, not at you, Mea finished lamely hoping Luc didn't take it wrong <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't like white, but red tates good. And champagne is pretty good.

DARGH, how old are all you people, I'm only just finished third class (don't know what that would be in Amerika, Belgium, France, W/E) but I got hold back one year, and now I'm going to do 4 HAVO (gymnasium is highest, then atheneum and then HAVO, then lower you've got IVBO and some other stuff) I'm 16 now.

(and I like red wines better then white wines, they have more taste, and white is too sweet. from the red whines I prefer Alsace)
(just to cover beer, Palm [dutch brand])

I just heard I passed today.
yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

BTW, gratz to any1 who passed!

Third class? Maybe High school?


I am 13! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I know how to add, and subtract, and annoy people. Yeah, thats it.

I will be 17 in 84 minutes.


You cannot generalise by saying white wines are more sweet. In fact, the ones I drink aren't sweet at all. I don't drink wine much: I prefer tea.

i just passed wind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> scored 4 flat. all of them are my friends. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
