Mine consists of blindfolding people and making them eat skittles and guessing the color. Then we block their nose and repeat the experiment and note how many each person got right.

Mine's been done before I think(the topic at least), but my teacher fears it won't work due to people's bad taste lol For example, she fears some people won't be able to tell what a yellow skittles tastes like versus say a green one >.>

And your R-score standards seem pretty similar to ours then. 30s is usually very good and high 20s are average. Highest I've seen personally(i.e. not heard of) is my friend's 36.7 O_o

lol, Doesn't matter, a skittles is a skittles no matter what it tastes like. Plus, Most people should be able to differentiate between Blue and Green/Red Skittles


Highest I have ever heard of was for a guy who took the same NYC physics class with me, he had a 38, not sure if it was real, but it was doable, considering the averages of any science class aren't very high.

wow you guys talking about school stuff is making me feel so old >.>

 

[Matthew]

Your only 21.. I mean your not that old. lol

 

[Asusp3v4x]

how you doing Mr. Tongue...??? have you seen Mr. Pink and the stash ????

 

[Matthew]

Not too well.

School has somewhat been very hard on me. The pressure is just too much.

I don't think I can maintain my 10.5 GPA anymore... If I lose my $4000 scholarship... I'm pretty much going to cry.

On top of that I have soccer, 1000 dollar scholarship. So If i do well I will have a free ride.

SO yes, it has been a rough semester.

 

[Asusp3v4x]

Don't worry man... just focus and turn the table... or.... cry... that kind of helps too...

 

[Forever_Melody]

So much free money O_o

 

[Matthew]

I had three choices

Going for business
Soccer
Music

Took both soccer, and business. Now the work is too much for me to control..

 

[Forever_Melody]

Well you'll learn how to juggle it I'm sure ^_^ It's not easy certainly. I had to take a few weeks before I got both my jobs, my sports and school down to a nice balanced schedule.

I wish I had your optimism miss.Emilie! Though, the issues presented to me lately seem very hard for me to cope. I think I will manage!

The pressure.. the pressure. It's really getting to me!

well matt, at 21, i'm at my second degree so... yeah i'm old. -_- I started uni at 15. 5 years in architecture earned me that degree, and i'm studying culinary arts now. which... gets away from all the math/calculus/physics stuff i learned with my previous course

At 15, Gosh.. You must be a genius. Wow, that is very impressive! I have nothing more to say, really.

That's remarkable Baboysai.

 

[Forever_Melody]

21 isn't old >_> My brother's older than you Bb lol And he still acts/feels like he's 10

@Matt: Well you'll learn to manage I'm quite certain ^^ Things always do seem quite difficult and sometimes hopeless, but in the end it's not always as bad as we think. Worse comes to worst, you'll juts have to weigh your priorities and perhaps have to downplay one thing. I had to quit one of my jobs because I had no free time left

 

[baboysai]

well no, not genius. you guys should know there are only 6 grade school levels in the philippines, and we immediately go to 4 years in high school. a high school graduate would most likely be 16-17. but I started early, since my birthday happened on a summer month.

But still, that is early! I don't think I've met anyone who entered University at such a young age!

Congrats, baboysai, your the first!

@Emilie
Thanks dear!
I appreciate the words of wisdom. I really do. Thanks

 

[Forever_Melody]

Me? Wise? Well that's a first O.o

 

[baboysai]

lol many firsts.

back in my university i think there was one who graduated BS applied physics at 14 or something. >.> Mikaela Fudolig, was it? >.< then when she graduated she became a professor. imagine what her students would think.

 

[Baron Hugenstein]

Wow, 14 yearold bossing around older teenagers, hahaha, she must feel power sometime soon

That would be great, though, she might be not mature enough to teach, no?

 

[Matthew]

Me? Wise? Well that's a first O.o

lol. Your silly.

Anyway, Night guys. Soccer practice at 6:00 AM.. Bah!

 

[baboysai]

sarry, there had been a lot of questions about that but the other professors really support her and testify that she's good enough. so i dunno

man, i really wanna join a local soccer club here, just for fun and exercise. but I dunno who to approach or what. I also wanna join to meet new people. there are very few of us in school, like, 30 or something. and I want a bigger circle
