If someone gets tw to show up at a gathering, I will be more than happy to come out to Philly and drag April with me.

I am so in! I'm ready to meet the rapper... "T-dub"

In fact its on my bucket list!

zippyt 03-16-2008 09:21 PM

T-Dub !!!!

I would go to any gathering with tw. Even bald as I am--I would sally forth to meet the tw who haunts my dreams. The tw who calls me an "emotional child" (which, in twspeak means 'stupid') with such sweet loving kindness--such understanding!

Plus, I would ask him how he figured out the cucumber-math question and then not believe him. I would be wary.

T-Dub is such an O.G.

I feel sorry for all you people that have not realized that TW cannot go to the party, you will have to take the party to him. Be careful what party games you play though as he sometimes takes them a bit too far.

Did I mention TW's real name is Joshua?

No. I bother you.

HungLikeJesus 03-17-2008 03:39 PM

Brianna, what was the math problem that tw helped you with?

lookout123 03-17-2008 03:41 PM

something about cucumbers and jenna jameson IIRC.

Trilby 03-17-2008 03:43 PM

here it is: (um...this is in fucked up kilos...our prof asked us in American...but you can get the drift)

On a sunny morning, a greengrocer places 200 kilograms of cucumbers in cases in front of his shop. At that moment, the cucumbers are 99% water. In the afternoon, it turns out that it is the hottest day of the year, and as a result, the cucumbers dry out a little bit. At the end of the day, the greengrocer has not sold a single cucumber, and the cucumbers are only 98% water.

The Question: How many kilograms of cucumbers has the greengrocer left at the end of the day?

HungLikeJesus 03-17-2008 03:57 PM

Was this the answer?
In the morning he had 198 kg of water and 2 kg of notwater, for a total of 200 kg.
In the afternoon he still had 2 kg of notwater and 98 kg of water, for a total of 100 kg.

lookout123 03-17-2008 04:09 PM

how would losing 1% water weight result in a 100 kg total weight loss?

Yeah, I think that's it, HLJ. The answer was 100----in American.

@lookout--this is a nonintuitive question. that's why tw, the nut, was able to answer it.

HungLikeJesus 03-17-2008 04:16 PM

Think of it as an economics problem:

A man with $200,000 has 99% of that in stocks ($198,000) and 1% ($2,000) in cash.

The market crashes and the value of his stocks drop to $98,000. He still has $2,000 in cash, for a total of $100,000 -> he now has 98% in stocks and 2% in cash.
