Anything for an advantage.

I've wondered it, but I've checked enough to see that it doesn't happen at the "lower" higher powers. And I don't feel the need to explore farther.

Amusing aside: when I finally came up with a title for this, I was afraid I was "wasting" it because I could do reflections of the word "Pool". But then I realized that I did Daily Reflections a long time ago, so this is fine.

Michele and the baby are likely relaxing in the kiddie pool.

And if you didn't get the reference, really? And you're reading this?

I'm pretty sure most people got the reference to the math sub named Quinn Jonas as mentioned in TV Tropes.

As noted recently, Ken is otherwise occupied at the moment.

Math!

Math * (Math - 1) * (Math - 2) * ... * 1

It depends on the value of Math. And some people give Math more value than others!

More math content would be A+, right?

I could crack a few jokes here, or discuss possibilities. Or I could save that for future comics.

How Long Does It Take to Fill ...?

Oddly enough, I'm a bit late with filling the pool this year, so this comic isn't actually late for me.

However, these days, I do set a reminder timer any time I think I need to "top off" the pool.

Hypersphere

RIP2-D2

I was considering this months ago, but because I wanted to do it in a classroom setting and didn't have time before the end of the year, I was saving it for the fall.

However, with the passing of Kenny Baker, the man inside the droid we were looking for, I moved it up and reworked it.

For the record, the Volume inside a 4D hypersphere would be 1/2 * pi^2 * r^4.

Edit Wayne's first dialogue balloon is messed up. Two sentences were combined by accident. It will be corrected as time permits. Oopsie!

Cleanliness v. Bugginess

(Click on the cartoon to see the full image.)
(C)Copyright 2014, C. Burke.

Cleaning the pool always makes me a little buggy ... but, seriously ...

The clearer the pool is, the more dead bugs I have to skim off the surface every day.

Either they see their reflection, or it actually isn't clean and there's something bad they're attracted to.
I'm hoping for the former.
