well... not quite. see a²+b²=c². Given that c=x, a=3 and b=4, we get 3²+4²=25, and therefore x=5. Any mathheads out there care to correct me? it's been ages since I touched math, so I may even be wrong on this very basic piece of trig. :P

I never really understood why I had to study maths in college. Like, they say I NEED it for my life, like how the fuck do I need logarithms and derivates for counting how many beers I get with my money or so. Six courses and Im yet to find out the first thing that would actually benefit my life.

I'd put more concentration on civics (or whatever it is in english), most people are so stupid when it comes to talking about the situation of the world, as they dont even have a idea what NATO is, and I'd say NATO and world politics are A TAD more important than (http://cs.stadia.fi/~lehtk/Matematiikka/mtib90.gif).

I'll never forget the day SuperCommander asked this wierd math question in the IronEdge IRC channel...
It involved some funky formula like
