I'm doing a math paper which requires me to find the pattern and formula for the following input/output function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
input 2 output 1
input 3 output 2
input 4 output 4
input 5 output 8
input 6 output 16
input 7 output 48
input 8 output 80

(yes, I know the first few double, but that isn't consistent with the rest)

Is there a difference between "believe in what I believe or else you'll roast on Satan's BBQ forever" and someone pointing a gun to your head saying "conform to what I believe or else!!"

What's with all the bloody violence? I don't see much love, or respect for other cultures there, I see "conform or die".

Your thoughts?

I've read and been taught that you should not place it on the table because it's rude to place a dirty napkin on a table with food so you should place it on your chair. But I've read lately that placing it on your chair is rude (you don't want to touch your mouth with a napkin that has been on the seat of a chair) and that you should place it folded to the left of your dinner plate. I have searched online and found both- which is true and under what circumstances?

The teacher asks the student what do you want to do with your life and the student responds by saying he wants to file a lawsuit against every teacher because he doesn't like them.

How would that make you as the teacher feel? Would you have any anger or resentment towards that student after he made those remarks?

I also hate when people say it's the inside that counts, which is totally not true...and when people tell someone they're not fat.

I mean, I'm not that shallow or anything, but it's just like really annoying.

My ex broke up with me 2 months ago to sort out college stuff, his feelings changed and due to our busy schedules we were seeing less and less of each other which caused arguing. He wants to try again and Im all for it but not now. I just am very stressed with college, working 2 part time jobs now and its just going to be the same arguments if we try now. However I dont want him to think I am throwing his reason from 2 months ago back into his face because Im not. I would love to be friends and see how things go but I dont want him to think he has to wait for me if he finds someone new. I love him but its not the right time as bad as that sounds...What do I do?

Hi, I was just wondering if colleges, in particular Ivy League Schools, compare students from the same state when considering them for admission. For example, I am from Indiana and at my alumni interview for Harvard the woman told me that Harvard receives about 30 applications per year from Indiana and accepts about 7 of those applicants. Does this mean that I could be accepted because of the lack of competition in my state even if I am less qualified than other students from larger states? I was just wondering because some friends of mine from New York said that I had a better chance of getting in because of my home state, but I wasn't sure if this was correct. Do Ivy League schools have to meet some sort of regional quota? Thanks for your help :) !!!!

I guess i have feelings for someone who does not have feelings for me. We are basically friends with benefits, havent had a discussion, but his actions are doing the talking. He will only contact me on friday or sat around 8...he'll maybe contact me once during the week, but mostly i dont hear from him during the week just weekends. He lives about 30 min away. I always go to see him. I prefer going to see him, but it's like, hmm he isnt putting any effort into things with me. However, he is always the one who contacts me, i just wont put myself out there really to be the first to initiate. Not sure what to do. My gut is i wont hear from him this weekend since we hung out the past 2 weekends. Also, he just had a baby (not with the mother, bad story) so he said he cant have anything serious bc of that. UNderstood, but he could contact me more than once a week.
