Okay, ladies and gentlemen: I know that computer graded homework sucks. I know you think it is unfair. But when the question says "Give your answer as an integer or a decimal rounded to two places," π/9 is not the correct answer. Of course, being the sucker that I am, I am going through and giving credit to everyone that asks for it. There are times that I miss the good old days of grading by hand. Of course, then I get a pile of quizzes and remember how much I hate grading.

I just reinstalled Windows on my mom's computer, and to my surprise, it is now installed on drive E:. I hope she doesn't notice.

Who the hell is your Lego dealer? That only comes out to ~43 cm squared. I'd say $500 would cover it.

Do you accept Dogecoin?

That is only one block. The Lego Designer thing crashes when I attempt to build the next iteration, which requires 20 of those. The model above contains approximately 20,000 bricks. At a penny each, it would take approximately $4,000 to build the next iteration.

I have to ask, why did you put that piece with the hole in there? It's inconsistent. Either the holes are there or they're not.

The goal was to build something very modular. The image you see above is actually "built" from 400 of these:

The holes are there so that the blocks can be joined simply without having different variations of the model for the corners.

Making your own cryptocoin could be beneficial in the long term.. but cornering the market on one of the smaller coins with more available resource (more coins) and an established market.. (dogecoin) .. could give Iv the amount of resource to make any game you would want..

With all the capital that Pa has made.. (amazing).. I would be interested to see what you could do..

Some legal issues though..?
Cornering the market is generally frowned upon in other instances..

A thought..
