SuperJon 175 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure Dez Bryant was doing hella word problems when he was at Oklahoma State I know the "all blacks look alike" joke has been played out, but isn't that Pharrell? Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I know the "all blacks look alike" joke has been played out, but isn't that Pharrell? Um.. of course it is. I wasn't saying it was Dez. It's just a picture of Jay Z laughing. Dunno if you noticed, but I like to post pictures of jay z. And really, I should have just gas faced your post, but it's thanksgiving and I'm feeling charitable. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 What methods did you use to knock out #s 11 and 13? I'm no mental slouch, but I am pretty sure those questions are designed to be skipped, for the most part. 11 you just need to see that it's a system, and you probably need to know your multiplication tables. If you can do a bunch of algebraic steps at once, it's actually the shorter of the two. 13 is easier, but probably longer. They give you numbers that are so easy to work with that you can just kind of see right away that x has 45% equity, y has 35 and z has 20. Link to post Share on other sites

NickCave 194 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 11 you just need to see that it's a system, and you probably need to know your multiplication tables.

They give you numbers that are so easy to work with that you can just kind of see right away that x has 45% equity, y has 35 and z has 20. I mean, I know how to actually solve the problem, I was just thinking about how to do it quickly, and mostly in one's head. But #13 for example, I got right to 45%(4800) - 1/3 (4800) in my head, and then the math was not SUPER easy. The way I did it in my head was something like "half of 4800 is 2400, less ten percent of 2400 is 240 is 2160...." and then went from there, but I didn't if there was a simpler way to do it mentally. I certainly can't do .45(4800) any quicker in my head. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Wow. That woulda been a new way to lose. I thought Ben's last lateral was an illegal forward pass. It was super close Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 It was definitely a forward pass, glad it didn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 What sucks is that Baltimore has the tiebreaker over Miami if they both finish 10-6. What doesn't suck is that Baltimore has a slightly tougher final 3 game schedule. What really sucks is that Miami isn't good enough to go deep anyways if they do make the playoffs.

SuperJon 175 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Just so I understand, in order for them to make the playoffs just to lose in the 1st round, they need to win next week and Baltimore needs to lose? Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think that's correct Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think that's correct No, the dolphins are in better shape than that somehow. Miami has to win and have Baltimore lose OR have San Diego win. Miami wins the three-way tiebreaker if all three finish 9-7. Very weird scenario. Dolphins odds of getting the 6 seed are 58%.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Rationally speaking, who should go? Sherman and Ireland? Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ireland has to go. Five straight non winning seasons, he's been a part of all of them. Sherman really should go. 7 points in two games with the season on the line, no running game, bad ppg numbers. Philbin should maybe go but I think he survives. My guess is Sherman and Ireland are toast. Good riddance. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I hope you're right. I have no issue with Philbin Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Does everyone still think Tannehill is the QB of the future for this team? Last 2 games with the season on the line, he went 30/67, <300 yards, and 1TD vs. 3 INT Now I only got to watch about 4 games this season, but I wasn't that impressed. Granted, a lot of that I'm sure has to do with play calling, and maybe he still has some potential, but I'm not totally convinced just yet. And of course, I do think the QB position is the least of their worries at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
