    Thanks for watching, my nerdling swarm. Stay safe out there.

    This reminds me of a joke A programmer's wife asks him to go shopping: - Go to the store and buy 2 loaves of bread. If they have eggs, buy 12. The programmer goes to the store and asks: - Do you have eggs? - Yes. - Then give me 12 loaves of bread.
  • If you change the definition of revolution to be "a complete trip around an elliptic contour", the answer is 1.

    I had the Ti-89 Titanium in High School. It was banned on all tests after about a year because you could store notes in it... I also figured out how to program a very simplistic version of Link's Awakening on it. lol.

    "Why would such a poorly worded question be on such an important test?" Remembers every question of my test. Me: "I want to know too. "

    “Why would such a poorly worded question be on such an important test” Well the college board doesn’t care about your education and just wants the money you paid for the test...which is mandatory

    I'm so glad someone else other than me is calling out ambiguity in questions. "You're over-thinking it" is what I usually hear.

    If the answer is 3 when the question is interpreted one way, and 4 if it is interpreted another way, but 4 is not among the list of possible choices while 3 is, the reasonable conclusion is that the intended interpretation is the one to which 3 is the answer, and so 3 (choice b) is in fact the correct answer.
  • @AbsolXGuardian
    Me: uh, the answer is 1. A revolves around B once, as the question says.
  • @WDCallahan
    "I'm using quarters because I'm stupid rich." 😂🤣 I was not expecting that and I ended up laughing so hard that I had to rewind afterwards!

    Sadly I was in that SAT group. Thanks for the memory

    I see Kyle is preparing for the SAT, the Supervillainy Aptitude Test...
  • "specificity matters" Yes, yes it does, that is why any of those order of operations questions that 'stump' people are BS.

    The best way I've been able to internalize this is that by comparing circumferences you're unrolling the large circle and then rolling the small circle along it. And by unrolling the large circle you've subtracted one rotation from your point of view. Compare circumferences and get 3, then add back the rotation you removed by unrolling the circle and you have 4.
