My brother made a rather large dent in the wall once while doing that. Happened around 10-12 years ago and I don't think my dad has patched it yet. :D

Between a room full of machines or a room full of people you choose the the room with machines every time.

If you get better grades in honors classes (because there are less stupid people to deal with).

I tended to get higher grades in classes I rated as difficult, because they required my strict attention and I knew what I had to do to get an A in those courses. In easier courses, I let my guard down and got Bs in classes that were rated as "easy A's" by most. Most of the time, they were the very last courses I needed to complete my requirements.

I see the same thing happening when I do Sudoku games. I have completed Hard and Expert level games easily because I pay strict attention to the placement of each number, but have become hopelessly turned around on games at the Medium level because I failed to pay attention.

I did that about a week ago on the science,math & computers forum.
The thread was "Tesseract 47". It was my 53rd post and 53 has a mathematically
significant relationship to 47.

Here I am doing it again! This is my 131st post and 131 is the 10th Quadratic Prime in a series
that begins with 41 and ends at 1601.

What's that one got to do with 383/primes? Is there something I've missed?

Distributed computing is employed in the search for other primes:

As for any relevance to #383, that link may have been included by accident.

You might be an Aspie if you work out the math of a situation covering the entire whiteboard in class, and then say "well... this is the complicated explanation. There's one that's much simpler, but I can't remember what it was..."
My physics teacher did this yesterday, and I now like him even better... :D
