We just came up with some questions / about the points - what are the points?

 188  ModeratorJ:  The questiosn on the Whiteboard were generated by different teams on Tuesday
 189  gdog:  k
 190  ModeratorJ:  Did you participate on tuesday, gdog?
 191  gdog:  no
 192  gdog:  just started today
 193  ModeratorJ:  o.k. dragon and estrckmcnizzle can fill you in
 194  dragon:  ok
 195  dragon:  so
 196  dragon:  basically, we worked on a problem
 197  gdog:  ok
 198  dragon:  where we were given two points, A and B
 199  dragon:  and
 200  gdog:  k
 201  ModeratorJ:  Oops... be careful with the whiteboard... this is a shared whiteboar so all you did affect everyone
 202  dragon:  you could not go diagonally on the grid, but only on the grid
 203  dragon:  such as
 204  dragon:  up or down, left or right
 205  dragon:  and
 206  dragon:  then we just came up with some questions
 207  dragon:  about the points
 208  gdog:  what are the points?
 209  dragon:  I don't remember
 210  mathwhiz344:  so if this were point a
 211  gdog:  k
 212  dragon:  but they were pretty random
 213  gdog:  ok
 214  mathwhiz344:  anyway, nvermind, i got it
 215  dragon:  ok
 216  gdog:  so what questions are you guys on?
 217  dragon:  dunno
 218  ModeratorJ:  So, now you can identify questions that interest you from, for example some of the ideas 
                   from that list of questions generated by all the teams, or you can create new questions. 
                   Then you can go on to answer the ones that you are most interested in. (To 216)
 219  gdog:  ok
 220  dragon:  do you know hwere the points are locatied? (To 218)
 221  mathwhiz344:  i can't think of any, but numb er 6 looks interesting
 222  dragon:  number 7
 223  mathwhiz344:  so which one should we do?

Too complicated/difficult, drop it

 223   mathwhiz344:  so which one should we do?	 
 224  dragon:  I don't know, anything that interests us I guess	 
 225  gdog:  #6 is interesting to me
 226  dragon:  problem is	 
 227  dragon:  there really isn't an answer to number 6 though	 
 228  weisbari:  joins the room
 229  mathwhiz344:  yeha	 
 230  gdog:  that's why it's interesting	 
 231  dragon:  it depends who is giving the problem	 
 232  mathwhiz344:  the grid probably extends for ever,	 
 233  mathwhiz344:  but if it's a curved space, it might meet	 
 234  gdog:  assuming if it doesn't..........	 
 235  dragon:  that would make things too complicated	 
 236  dragon:  I guess	 
 237  gdog:  y?	 
 238  dragon:  but it could work maybe	 
 239  mathwhiz344:  what if we asssumed the grid is a universe...	 
 240  mathwhiz344:  i guess your right	 
 241  gdog:  ok	 
 242  gdog:  i understand	 
 243  dragon:  well, first of all, the paper would crumple (if it were real) to form a sphere [To  237]	 
 244  mathwhiz344:  why a sphere?	 
 245  gdog:  ?	 
 246  dragon:  I mean, if it were "curved" as you said before [To  244]	 
 247  dragon:  like	 
 248  mathwhiz344:  oh	 
 249  dragon:  it would curve to itself	 
 250  mathwhiz344:  yeah	 
 251  dragon:  and then it would have to get smaller in some areas to fit	 
 252  dragon:  nvm	 
 253  dragon:  
 254  estrickmcnizzle:  im drinking 7 up	 
 255  dragon:  this is getting way too complicated, xp	 
 256  gdog:  dragons right [To  249]	 
 257  gdog:  we should probably solve another problem	 
 258  dragon:  so, do you guys think any other questions would be good to answer?	 
 259  mathwhiz344:  yeah:0	 
 260  gdog:  and drop that question	 
 261  dragon:  I like 7	 
 262  mathwhiz344:  7's good	 
 263  gdog:  ok, we can try 7	 
 264  estrickmcnizzle:  so is 7 up	 
 265  dragon:  alright	 
 266  dragon:  lol	 
 267  gdog:  lol	 
 268  mathwhiz344:  :)	 
 269  dragon:  so anyway, lets create some imaginary points or something
