And in theory 1 could then be correct as answer as well because you might coincidentally pull a white one as your very first one as well... (since the problem was obviously written in German on our exam the sense might've been gotten lost in the translation somehow) |
Those problems always seem unrealistic like
Who eats 36 chocolate bars in one go? Or even 70 percent of that which is like 10 of them I think. Idk, I'm not good at maths. |
lol, why would you be using a translated mathematics exam instead of one purely written in German? :p
|
I too, was wondering this. ^
And yeah, math was never my favorite subject, but I was glad when I had to start dealing with much, much more complicated questions then those. The logic was just so twisted. xD |
Ahh, Probabilities/Statistics problems. It was never about the math you needed to do, the issue was always the way you interpreted the problem.
One single word, one single misplaced comma, and it becomes a whole different problem. |

If you put the stress on a different word, the whole meaning of the sentence changes as well |
Grammer's important!
I mean, would you rather help your uncle, Jack, off a horse, or help your uncle jack off a horse? 'Nuff, said. |

Since were already talking about anomalies in English, how about other languages?
In German you're able to pretty much combine nouns, verbs, adjectives and so on almost with no restrictions with each other, sometimes leading to ones like Überschallgeschwindigkeitsflugzeug or Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft. internet hug to anyone who can read this out loud and fluently |
What in gotta name do either of those two words mean.

Or something. note that any of the R's isn't spoken like the English one, rather like a Spanish or Slavic one as well I tried to describe ü/ä/ö with ue/ae/oe because neither of these letters have a sound equivalent to them in English |
Okay, clearly not going to take German anytime soon. O.O
|
Russian can be even worse then it comes to pronunciation, although it definitely doesn't have such long words; this is the longest official one: человеконенавистничество (chelovekonenavistnichestvo), which means misanthropy.

See what I mean? Most of the words aren't that hard. Quote:
Well in all seriousness it isn't that hard. Like antidisestablishmentarianism is pretty annoying, but you can break it down into anti-dis-establish-ment-arian-ism… although Russian can have longer word roots on paper because of the whole soft-and-hard you need two letters for thing, but they're all pretty much the same length. |
I think... I think I'll just stick to French. Or Spanish. Spanish is nice. We don't get any large words or anything, so y'know.

Guys, I had a dream last night that I got a warning on PC. It was horrible D:. Like, I wanted to cry. ;_;
|
I find it hard to believe that even a German person can pronounce such words.
I'll be even more surprised if any of these can be pronounced in one breath. |
I've gotten warnings before. Don't let it ruin your life.
