Combined Mathematics Final [Friday 12-21, Period 4]

"The time has come," the Canadian said, "to talk of many things. All of them are math. And you will be writing them, rather than speaking." Jean-Paul was not mean enough to give an oral exam.

Jean-Paul momentarily disappeared, and there was a breeze around the classroom. Then he was back in front of his desk and each student had an exam. "You may use calculators and scrap paper. Begin."

Take the Exam

How'd you do? What's your grade? How much are you panicking?

"Oh God oh God oh God..."

Yeah, that would be Charlie very quietly freaking out under her breath.

Naomi had studied enough throughout the semester so she wasn't panicking when it was time for her to take her test.

[ooc: Naomi would have gotten an A]

Ronan wasn't panicking at all as he breezed through the final, with almost half the class period to spare.

Ronan probably got an A/A-; he made a few mistakes because he didn't take his time.

Rodney was totally calm about the test. This was almost ironic considering the fact that Rodney tended to panic frequently about lemons, bees, and all sorts of other things that didn't bother most people. However, he was extremely confident in his ability to pass this final with flying colors.

Peter wasn't panicking any more than he normally did over a final. Which was still a fair amount. He was a twitchy guy. But he did as well as would be expected from him taking a math final. That is, very well.

The only reason it took Adah as long as it did to complete her final is that she was putting mathematically pleasing lines of iambic pentameter (some of them backwards) in the margins on pages that hadn't already been filled with her work. Assuming that the occasional poetical distraction wouldn't count against her, Adah would have easily passed the test (freaking math genius that she was).

One of your allies is now an evil zombie ninja. Formulate a plan to defeat him, utilizing math.

"Buh?" Charlie stared at the extra credit, and tried to think about this using math. Math?

Right. What Would Rodney Do?

I would build a time travel machine and go back in time to un-do the zombie'ing, using math. Also, something with fractals. I'm pretty sure zombies can't do fractals, even if they're ninjas.

There!

Ronan outlined briefly the mathematical structures used to construct a spell that would, theoretically, return the ally to their normal state, removing any added evil, zombie, and/or ninja.

Of course, 'brief' in this case took three pages of single-spaced writing and diagrams.

Rodney cooked up a plan that involved calculating the precise frequency of the zombie's limited brainwaves. He then described how he'd construct a device that would disrupt that frequency and thus render the zombie back into a regular corpse. There were graphs.

Beat him with that underappreciated tool, the slide rule.

That's about as far as my battle planning goes.

Under the assumption that is a zombie was a ninja, the zombie actually had to have higher brain functions and intelligence than the normal zombie, Adah simply wrote out that proof where 1=2 (http://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/falseProofs/second1eq2.html), in hopes that it would just blow its oddly functioning mind with its impracticality, and, therefor, rendering him useless. Because everyone knew the way to kill a zombie was by removing the head or, in this case, destroying the brain.

Jean-Paul was, as usual, at his desk, looking a little sad and mostly relieved that this semester was almost in the books.
