When it comes down to it, it's not a very difficult question to answer. You don't even need a map.

Next Blog

No, not my next blog. The ones I have are more than enough.

On the top of this page, there lies an innocuous link labeled "Next blog", which has nothing to do with this page and everything to do with Blogger, going back to the days before Google owned it.

Sometimes, out of boredom usually, I would click on that link just to see what was next, and then again and again until I dead-ended on a page where the link mysteriously vanished. (I never looked into how to get rid of it on my page.)

I would find some interesting insights into people's lives and hobbies while occasionally being perplexed by the foreign languages which would present themselves. It was the kind of internet reading experience which gave rise to the phrase "surfing the web".

Well, for good or ill, any time I click on that link now, I get Education sites, usually math-related. I don't know if that's because this is a math blog or because I have math pages in my blog roll. Who's to say?

But the link is there if you want to try it out.

And if you find any fun or interesting pages, come back here and share them!

If the numbers aren't relatively prime, then you won't use all the dots. Just move to the next dot, and make a second star, and third, if necessary.

She's right. That's definitely less than a cubic foot. So it isn't going to waste.

Update: Sorry, but I have to add the keywords, "Do you want to build a snowman?" 8-)

I've been meaning to do this follow-up for over three years now. I'm sure some of you wished I'd waited longer.

For that group, the bad news it that there isn't any witty comment here because everything I thought of writing, I'm putting it follow-up follow-ups.

It doesn't get more Real than squaring an unknown value and calling a math teacher a moron.

(x, why?) Comics at Math Fail.com

A handful of (x, why?) comics spotlighted in mathfail.com. I'll return the shout-out by noting that one of those selected was Almost Right, which had a "Spiked" variant follow-up the next day.

What Sheet?

Statistically speaking, most likely true.

Also true: It's not one of Mr. Burke's worksheets if there isn't at least one typo.
