Eye test. Which is clearer, the first one or the second one? Well, they're both blurry but in different ways. Okay. Flips lenses around. Which is clearer now, one or two? Uh, two, I guess. Okay, now the right eye. Flips shut the door on the left eye and twirls the lenses before the right. Which is clearer now?
Math test. State the negation of the proposition, then prove either the negation or the proposition: For any real number x, x>x2. A={0, 1, 2} B={2, 4, 6} What is the union of A and B? What is the cardinality of the power set of B?
Test of my patience. (I think I failed.) Using the C++ .NET compiler. (Why the fuck did I buy this piece of shit? Oh, yeah. Because I had no choice, it's the only one you can buy anymore. What the hell does that error message mean? "Precompiled header"? I didn't put a precompiled anything in my code.) Write a simple little program that would compile just fine on Borland, or at least generate meaningful error messages, but my Borland compiler doesn't work on my updated OS. So I guess I have to do this at school tomorrow, where they have some compilers that don't require you to "build a solution" and then a "project" (and God help you if you do the steps out of order, because you might end up with buggy code you didn't write getting inserted into files you didn't know you were working on). "Build a solution." Sweet Jesus. What genius let the developers learn buzzwords?
