How many rooms are there?
Sitting in math class I heard the following:
When you have a negative sign outside of a grouping of numbers, you can get rid of the grouping of numbers by changing all the signs of those numbers to their opposites.
I wondered at this point, how useful this formula could be for my other mathmatical issues. For Instance:
To add another hour on the alarm clock, simple switch the 3rd number in the series with the first. or:
To sucesssfuly balance your checkbook, simply add in an extra 1,000 everytime your balance ends with a .30.
Why the fuck does math get to make rules to make itself make sense? Who made this shit up?
I admit, I am a mathmatical idiot. I'm back in school for the first time in 10 years, and it makes no more sense to me now, than it did, then.
It seem a little too convenient, like the way Spanish verbs just friggen change. "Conjegate the verb by changing the e to a ue."

Yeah I tried that with my checkbook. Didn't work. Citibank will be in touch.
