While exploring on the back side of the moon Professor A. Brayne has come upon a strange monolith. The monolith is sitting vertically in the middle of an unexplored lunar ravine. The professor believes the monolith may have been built by an alien civilization. To determine the height of the mysterious object, the professor uses her 36-cm-long lunar core sampler (LCS). She holds the LCS vertically out in front of her, 64 cm away from her eye, and moves toward the monolith until she sees its top just over the top of her LCS and sees its just beneath the bottom of her LCS. She paces off the distance from that point to the monolith's base and finds that it is 28 m. How tall is the monolith?

Right now I am in my first year of college and I'm currently attending a community college. Honestly, this isn't the way I picutred my college career going. I always thought of myself going to that great 4-year college since I did very well all through high school. I chose to go to this community college because it was a lot less money for the same thing, but I'm finding that I don't like it. I don't really take it seriously, I'm not sure why. Maybe I feel as if a community college isn't the real thing. I feel that maybe if I were at a 4-year college I would be happier and take it a lot more seriously. Also, I'm feeling so left out because my other friends and other people in genenral are getting that great "college experience" by living in the dorms and meeting new people. I guess my question is, do you think a 4-year college is the best thing for me?

are they the same?
im currently choosing what highschool to go to, and im really leaning toward this really good highschool with an honors program. my second choice includes an AP (advanced placement) course in the highschool, but im wondering if those are the same.

Both school offer IB (international baccalaureate), but im not interested since only a few good universities in North America recognize the program. so, my question is, are they the same? should i go ahead and take the honor classes?

Cite your sources please.

(I looked for the answer on Google and Ask, but I can't find it. I know that people didn't really like the book when it first came out, but I'm looking for a source that actually states that.)

tell me what you think of the longest word in the world, it is greek it is long and it is definatly hitting you guys now, i bet you cant say it once then 5X faster

the word is Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyph- ophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon


it means The original Greek spelling had 183 characters (something which is not obvious in the Roman transcription, depending on the variant) and for centuries it was the longest word known.

The dish was a fricassee, with 17 sweet and sour ingredients, including brains, honey, vinegar, fish, pickles:

and it means in summary "to suit everybodys needs

completly true, honest to god, tell me if you like this word, and here is a challenge:

learn to say it once, then try and say it 5X faster 10X if you succed tell me if you say yes your either VERY VERY VERY clever, or your a liar :)_

PS. i know this isnt a Q or A, but its...
