    I already told y'all the story about Stinkerbelle and her Kobayashi Maru no-win questions that got her fumigated off campus with a literal jar of farts, right? LOL

    ETA: And Fly, while I hated my high school classmates, when we had what looked like a suicide bomber (thankfully hoax, little prick trying to be cute with a visual aid for a presentation) in my homeroom class I still offered to trade my life for theirs and body-tackled the punk hoping my bloated carcass plus shoving him out the door would sufficiently smother the blast.

I took copious notes and studied his lecture material religiously. Exam time, you guessed it - straight from the book.

    You could it the 'college experience.' I called it 'I'm so fvcking tired of you non-studying bitches whining about hard tests after I have worked a semester of 10 hour swing shifts to get the days off I needed to go to class, and listen to you smack talking my A's, you are fvcking lucky I don't carry my gun to class, I'd either suck it or shoot your narrow ass' experience.

    Golly, that felt good to get off my chest.
    It's OK, you're not the only guy who worked hard through college, although I was 160 credits in and I just didn't finish up. I was driving semi's for 10 hrs a day and studying at stop lights... I used to haul snow at night and study while sitting in line to fill up. It's chicken shit to teach an entire class in plain medical terms, then drop the Latin bomb on a class when the Latin names weren't even in the text book for most of the subject matter. Hell, my 1902 Textbook Of Anatomy doesn't have the Latin terms in it. Nobody calls it the vena pulmonalis dextra superior when it's the right superior pulmonary vein to the rest of the medical world.

    Tibia and fibia weren't ones we had issues with.

    my hate of math is why I became an Architect and not a Structural Engineer. lol

    Did the previous question tell you the metal?
    This reads like you have been assigned a metal, say lead,
    And should have a table with melting point, g/cm^3, etc.
    And different people have different metals.
    Classic way to curb people splitting up assignments, groups parting steps out, test cheating, etc.


    They want you to w=m*g,
    D=v/m,
    Etc.

    This may be a chemistry class, and it may be occurring in college,
    But the classic first year of college chemistry would not be giving you the equation for a sphere, cylinder, etc.
    You would be expected to know it.
    But the writer thinks they are going to trip someone up by making them convert units-

    It reads more like something a middle school science teacher without a degree in chemistry would have written. Or maybe by some Chinese grad student stuck with a Lab TA or lecture slot that hates lazy Americans not taking the real first year of inorganic chemistry.

    As an undergrad I had some disdainful towards Americans Chinese, German, and Swedish professors on the bio side and some actual American loathing level Finn in calc, Swiss German in P-Chem, and Armenian in Physics. In the years after that I had a Few hardcore haughty, pretentious, contemptuous bastards here and there,
    And I say this fully cognizant of the fact that I am an arrogant prick with a very high threshold to consider someone awesome at something overbearing.

    You can only accomplish so much playing around with electrons anyway.
    Major in physics so you can actually pull off some serious shit by messing with the nucleus.

    Glad you took my rant as intended.

    I have issues with the tibia and fibula, but more along the lines of 'no, you can't break just the itty bitty fibula, you get to break them both.'

    160 hours/credits in and no degree, that sucks. Did you change majors?

    Actually, I came closest to snapping one summer session when I had an evening class with a bunch of teachers, who for some reason were taking a lit class. So not the youngest students - comparatively I was late twenties.

    I changed colleges and one state college didn’t accept many credits from the other.. among other issues. Both the wife and I were only short a couple classes when she got pregnant with our first kid. Neither of us went back but we’ve had successful lives.

    Op this type of problem you need to know the material the cylinder is made out of. Then it can be solved. What, was the metal made out of in the question before this?
