The correct timing on basically every factory small block chevy for every year is 4 degrees btdc.

Marissa could have just yawned and said 4 degrees but people always Dunning Kruger themselves when it comes to cars so she couldn't help herself.

Low EQ.

She was also heavily into the Meyers-Briggs stuff. Like, she would come home from work and say "my new boss is INTP". Then 2 days later - "I've revised it, he is ENTP". And like this for about a month. Eventually I said "you know the whole point of that is for it to be prescriptive. If you just want to describe someone, you can explain what they are like, you don't have to shoehorn them into a profile. If it has no predictive value and you are just revising your assessment based on observation, it's utterly worthless as a tool, and all you are achieving is blunting your assessment by pigeonholing it into one of 16 categories." She was like "oh". And... yeah, I was super fun at parties.

Anyway, all this is to say "low EQ" is just meaningless words. You felt a certain way, and you want to put a label on it. Why don't you just describe how you felt?

Can’t imagine why someone wouldnt want to talk about how they felt on a forum where people deride each others “fee fees” in order to belittle each other.

Sounds like a lack of imagination on your part.

We are not so different after all.

I would hope so. I could easily teach it to Marjory Taylor Greene.

Lol no you couldn't. You can't teach it to anyone who doesn't understand how to foil out (x+a)^2. I doubt that chick can add to 11 without taking her socks off.

I did that at 15. It was in SMP book X or Y.

Doubtful I could do it now though lol.

Anyway, as I later realised when I grew up, maths is not the sole indicator of intelligence. It might not even be a good indicator of it.

Anyway, somehow I doubt that either of you two geniuses who couldn't find an elementary generalisable proof of the digit sum divisibility by 3 fact are going to be teaching anyone about deriving any quadratic formulas by completing any squares.

The great thing about the way we did modern maths at primary school was we could go at our own pace on most of it.

for some treason I'm thinking Flecther book 13 but it was a very long time ago. I still recall completing the square being an 'ooo that's neat' moment

I'm sure you could relearn it very quickly. It's not as difficult as d2 finds it.

You jest but two of us were studying to take the A level early when someone joined us. She was two years younger than us and had done the O level in primary school. lol. Kate was brilliant, obviously.

I bumped into her again a few years later at a wedding, after she’d been through Oxford. I asked her what the finals were like and she pulled a face, and said really hard but some people had finished the paper in half the time and walked out.

There are levels to these things.

oh yes. Oxford maths degree is seriously high standard. Some still find that easy.

but completing the square is at the starting line
