Education & Reference - 28 March 2007

1) Joe left home for office at 8.20a.m. He drove a distance of 33km at 66km/h and took 5 minutes to walk from the car park to the office. What time did he reach the office?

2) Peter swam from one side of a river to another side at an average speed of 25m/min. As soon as he reached the other side of the river, he immediately swam back to the starting point. The whole trip took him 30 mintues. If his average speed for the whole trip was 20m/min,
a) what was the total distance he swam?
b) what was the average speed of his return trip?

P.S I don't want those like: take z as 30mins, or any other algebra methods, cos my country doesn't use these methods and my teacher doens't understand them. Thanks!

My friend in my Theology class asked me a few days ago for advice if he should drop a class from his schedule. He said if he drops a class he will still be a full time student but this one class will bring his GPA down because he said he has "a messed up teacher from hell", How does dropping a class in college work? and should he drop this class because he showed me his first semester transcript and it was pretty impressive except for one class. He said he dont wanna make the same mistake twice so he needs my advice. I said go talk to your advisor he said I will but i need your advice just in case.I said what classes your taking and what grades are you gonna get. Global Studies A- or A, Speech B+ or A- Theology A- or A and English B- or B and his class from hell Discover New York which he said he might get a C+ or even lower like in the D range. What should he do? Any suggestions?
P.S Joe, hope you dont get mad.

I know most people said 'could' but that doesn't really make sense. That's like saying, you DO care, but it's possible to care less. Wouldn't it make more sense to say you 'couldn't' care less, therefore giving the idea that there is nothing you could care any less about, which is really the whole point of the phrase, isn't it?

I think that made sense, if not just ignore me.. it's just something that has bothered me for a long time. lol

There is a great paragraph in this article I found where the author discusses the assertions of other writers. Is it okay to put this in a research paper or is that a no-no?

I haven't been to either but am thinking of applying to both. Can you compare them? (selectivity, location, enviornment, size, tuition, what Bostonians think about them) Thanks!

I've heard people use it a couple times. Sounds like a fun expression I could use. What's it mean and where did it come from?

absoism reegny

it is for a freshman (hishschool) physical science class. I know that the second word word is "energy" but what is "absoism"??

My only guess was Biomass Energy. But i really dont know what that means, can briefly explain it to me? and if Biomass isnt correct (because honestly i'm making some wild guesses trying to get this figured out) then could you please either give me a hint/tip or just tell me what you think it is. Thanks, this is really bugging me.
