Naming a Recorder

 Moderator_G 5/10/05 8:21:17 PM EDT: Will one of you want to serve as recorder and type the questions in a textbox on the whiteboard?
 SithLordVader91 5/10/05 8:21:33 PM EDT: i will

What does a recorder do? SithLordVader91 creates this textbox on the whiteboard:


                                   Our Questions
               What is the shortest way to get from A to B?
               What is the longest way?
               What is the straight distance between A and B?
               What is the measure of angle B?
               How many ways are there to get from A to B?

What did you type?

 173 qwer: Who ment qwer?
 174 mathisfun: me
 175 mathisfun: its about your question
 176 qwer: What did you type?
 177 mathisfun: this one  (REFERENCE TO 148 by qwer: What's the longest way, staying in the box?)
 178 mathisfun: can u overlap?

Overlap

 mathisfun 5/10/05 8:25:25 PM EDT: can u overlap?
 qwer 5/10/05 8:26:15 PM EDT: If you can overlap, there is no longest way. You can keep going back and forth. I ment not overlapping.
 SithLordVader91 5/10/05 8:26:19 PM EDT: if u can, it would be infinite
 mathisfun 5/10/05 8:26:24 PM EDT: k
 qwer 5/10/05 8:28:06 PM EDT: Aren't there a lot of shortest ways? You could go up 4 then left 6, or up 1, left 3, up 3, left3...
 qwer 5/10/05 8:28:45 PM EDT: If you can only follow the grid it doesn't matter.
 SithLordVader91 5/10/05 8:28:49 PM EDT: yeah there are... i meant the shortest # of lines
 qwer 5/10/05 8:29:06 PM EDT: Then there are 2.

Straight Distance

 what is the straight distance between A and B? (suppose each line is 1 unit
 bob123 5/10/05 8:31:53 PM EDT: 2rt(13)

Read This

 qwer 5/10/05 8:45:52 PM EDT: or infinite, if you don't have to follow the lines
 mathisfun 5/10/05 8:46:07 PM EDT: read this
 mathisfun 5/10/05 8:46:20 PM EDT: it say that there needs to follow lines
 qwer 5/10/05 8:46:32 PM EDT: ok
 qwer 5/10/05 8:46:56 PM EDT: Can you fold the plane?

Asymmetry of Understanding: what does that mean?

 bob123 5/10/05 8:48:34 PM EDT: (4-1+6-1) choose (6-1) or (4-1)
 bob123 5/10/05 8:48:41 PM EDT: is 56
 bob123 5/10/05 8:48:43 PM EDT: that's the answer
 bob123 5/10/05 8:48:50 PM EDT: assuming you can only go right and down
 qwer 5/10/05 8:48:56 PM EDT: what does that mean?
 bob123 5/10/05 8:49:13 PM EDT: the number of ways to choose 5 things from 8 things
 bob123 5/10/05 8:49:15 PM EDT: it's a formula
 qwer 5/10/05 8:49:25 PM EDT: ok
 bob123 5/10/05 8:49:43 PM EDT: the formula to find the number of ways in an n by m rectangle like this is (n+m-2) choose (m-1)
 mathisfun 5/10/05 8:51:02 PM EDT: anyone got any other questions?
