Re: Beating the System
I finished my Geometry final in 30 minutes (500 words with pictures and graphs, got an A.) Classes are 44 minutes long. We had 5 days. I tried FFR. It was blocked. I tried all the FFR proxies. Blocked (******s...) I went into Geometer's Sketchpad. I spent a cumulative 3 hours and 56 minutes making the hugest and most elaborite spirograph I had ever seen. I showed my teacher and I got 30 points of extra credit (the final was worth 100.) I guarantee you I was the first person ever to get 130% on that final. Definitely the first person to get an extra 30% for screwing off.
The moral of the story is: Look both ways before you cross the street.
P.S. If you want to see the spirograph, I could either resurrect the 2 year old geosketch file from the dead, or I could spend another 4 hours making a new one. Or you could just live without.
