It will help remember how to use them.<br /><br />And I think although on the one handGrandma and Grandpa would really like to see your gaming night, that they would probably not want to stay that long. One solution is to just go separately and meet thee, then they can leave whenever they want.

I was thinking about asking them if they wanted to see D+D but there are a lot of potential problems there (some of the other players might not like it, they might change their mind or not want to stay for the whole thing, they might bother us by asking about what is going on, they might turn out to be Cylons...)<br /><br />They originaly wanted to come on a Thursday but it's too bad they did not want to come two days earlier, because then I could have taken them to a university-sponsored debate about nationalized health care.<br /><br />I actually do have one idea for a Gaming Math problem that does, in fact, involve eigenvectors. Do you want me to post it?Alexander Monthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406587991425120623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278359056787870942.post-22541766221580669552010-02-22T23:01:24.021-08:002010-02-22T23:01:24.021-08:00That was impressive, Alex.

But I was not about to be able to solve that on my own. At least the answer had nothing to do with eigenvectors. I barely remember what those are.<br /><br />How is your job going, by the way? And your classes? Do you know that Grandma Pearl and Grandpa Stanley are thinking of visiting you? Maybe you can take them to one of your gaming extravaganzas.Dan Monthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893970837257594648noreply@blogger.com
