Some one I know foolishly believes that Caffeine and Coffee is worse then cigarettes. I know that caffeine is considered more addictive, but I am trying find substantial research to disprove their idiotic statement that, “Coffee is worse for you then Cigarettes, go look it up, it’s a fact”.

If I were to hold a cube of frozen gasoline under a flame, would it combust?

We all know that gasoline freezes at temperatures around -120 degrees. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon, meaning it is composed of long chains of carbon and hydrogen. It can have anything from seven to eleven carbons per chain. We know that gasoline is flamable in its original state, but when it is frozen, it is obviously cold. It being cold is one of the things that make me think it wont catch fire.
I know that water is made when heat fuses hydrogen and oxygen. The hyrdogen in the gasoline and the oxygen in the air may fuse when under a flame causing it to melt into a liquid. Being flamable in its liquid state, it would catch fire, thus continuing to burn the cube until completely melted and burned. These are only my hypothesis. Tell me what you think.

My calculator is of the brand name Texas Instruments and its model is TI-30X-IIS. (The II are the Roman Numerals for 2.) When I try to use Tangest, Sine, and Cosine on my calculator, some of the answers come out as negative. This is impossible and I am convinced that my calculator is messed up. How can I put it back to normal? P.S. On the Zero button, it says Reset above that, but I don't know what I should click Zero with to reset it.

I will be taking AP Calculus in the upcoming school year. Will my old TI-34 II be capable of the job, or should I upgrade to a better calculator? What type? Also, if I did need to upgrade, would the new calculator be too much for AP Physics and Biotechnology?
Thanks a million for any help!

Something fishy about that. What about the other 5 varieties of kriptonite (red, blue, gold, white, and green), aren't they suppose to do any damage?
