What's being asked is, "What is the positive square root of 16?" And I'd say that it is an implied part of the question. If someone really wants the negative square root, then that would be a part of the question.

But yeah, that is technically a faulty question.

Whenever i heard a definition of "square root of a" it has been: The positive solution to x^2=a

EDIT: Ok, that seems to be a language issue, and apparently there's a special word for this English (the principal square root)

No, who is the square root of 16.  What is the square root of 9.

That...  Was the best rickroll ever.


At a camp, there was a campfire and people could do songs or skits for it.  We said we were singing the cheeseburger song (no, that is not a rickroll), and after a couple lines switched to Never Gonna Give You Up.  The look on their faces was priceless.

Yet, it's updated twice since the 'the end' scene. Hmm.

You can view the comic in full here, by the way.

Yeah, I hadn't looked back on that comic for a while.  I have to admit I was very much not expecting the Mediterranean Salinity Crisis to pop up.

Yeah, the plot suddenly got weird towards the end. I only actually started paying attention towards the end when I noticed the thread on the forums had like 1,700 pages, and realised there was a whole cult following of it. One thing there I found out (well from that and the wiki) is that the star patterns suggest it's set 11,000 years into the future.

Well, say there's a whole song that has no sheet music and you want to play it.  So you transcribe it.  Also, you could transcribe songs for others (or groups of others) to play as well.

I seem to like transcribing songs differently than most, I'll probably use that as a guide but still do some of it myself.

On but off topic, but random nonetheless, have you see this guy?  Derek Paravacini is blind and autistic, taught himself to play with karate chops and elbows until Dr. Ockleford met him when he was four.  30 years later, and he's at TED.  Incredible.

No, I haven't heard of him.  Also, it doesn't matter if it's on topic in this thread...
