Actually I just realize now that I did it wrong. (goes off to fix it)

New version published by RazorStar.

I was about to say it shouldn't be x... until I saw that there was a new version. Nice puzzle. Although I was doing puzzles to try and avoid my homework, which unfortunately involves derivatives.

hahaha, but math is fun!

Math is fun, until almost every course you're taking involves math.

:D Well course I'm taking involves some degree of math. I don't find it too horrible. yet.

Wow ... haven't seen that in many long years. Enjoy! :o)

I loved this stuff when I was taking it in college. I think one of favorite courses was Advanced Calculus where we proved a lot of the theorems that we learned in Calculus I. Differential Equations was also fun. For some reason, I had a lot of difficulty with Abstract Algebra though.

interesting comment gator
you must really like it a lot to comment on it because i dont know if i have ever really seen you comment on a puzzle before other than to discuss how to solve the puzzle

Must be a reason so many of us commented on this one... it's nice to find others that think math is fun, too!

Thanks for a different kind of puzzle.

@bugaboo - I have always loved math (and always will). Long before I went to college, I knew that I would get a degree in Math. I just had to decide what other degree I would get that I could make a career out of (that was my thinking at the time). But (of course) I didn't even go into a field that had anything to do with either one of my degrees. Does anyone end up in a career that they studied for? (The answer to my rhetorical question is yes, but what would be more interesting is what percentage do?) (Wow, that's a lot of rambling from me.)

I too pursued a degree in Math because I loved it then. Ended up being a paramedic but still remember lots of math things. Nice puzzle

I love math, too.

BTW: I felt the same about Abstract Algebra.

I tested out of math when I went to college for art, but I took Calculus just for fun (because I missed math), and my roommate was a math major. :)
