I DID MATH. · 1:39am Jun 8th, 2012
WHILE NOT IN SCHOOL.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. (it was for a good purpose)
AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE THAT PURPOSE.
This is my comment from an EqD post where some guy said something about there being only 70k bronies.
So, I did this.
*le copy paste*
"I've been waiting for an excuse to do this. There are about 20 bronies in my school. There's about 1080 students in total. My school is very large, and that should explain why there are a seemingly higher amount of bronies in my school rather then others (I have asked other people from other schools, and while the number of bronies in their schools were lower, their schools only had about 200-700 students). There are an estimated 25 to 28 million teens in the U.S. according to the 2000 census. Since that is the 2000 version, I am going to say 28 million since 10 years have past by. Using a simple proportion, it'll be easy to figure out the amount of TEENAGE bronies IN THE USA.
That means there is one brony for every 54 teenagers.
1/54=z/28,000,000
28,000,000=54z
The answer (z) comes out to 518,518 when rounded.
Let me say that earlier statement again.
THIS IS FOR THE AMOUNT OF TEENAGE BRONIES IN THE USA.
According to the Brony Study, the average age for a brony was 21. 21 year olds are not considered teenagers. So, we can assume that quite a few of the bronies are not teenagers.
According to the same study, 31% of all bronies are NOT from NORTH AMERICA. North America is not the U.S.
Now, I can't really find the amount of bronies aged 20 or older in an easy way (That, or I'm being stupid.). So, I'm just going to go ahead and add on 350,000 to that. It's an estimate, okay?
So now, our number of bronies in the U.S. is 868,518.
Another simple proportion.
868,518/z=69/100
69z=868,518 x 100
69z=86,851,800
The answer (z) will come out to be 1,258,721.
That, my friends, is the number of bronies worldwide, EXCEPT for Canada, Mexico, and other North American countries (sorry for those of you in those countries).
You see my point? Good.
(dear god that took longer then I wanted it to take)"
Excellent. My subliminal influence is working. Soon everyone will be doing math in their free time. Mwu hu ha ha ha.
Pretty well done. I would say you need a larger sample size to be able to use that proportion but all in all your message comes through pretty well. Soon, bronies will rule over all the Earth!
My word, that's one intelligent mind you have there
Doing that would probably have taken me twice the amount of time that it did to you.
The only math problem I've done recently was for one of my favorite producers, Deadmau5.
He has a song called 4x4=12
We all know 4 x 4= 16
But if you notice that the 4's and x aren't separated in the song title, you can evaluate that the x is a variable, and to make the statement true
X= .75
So 4(.75)4=12
He had a lot of questions about the song title, and he just chuckled and said it was right.
And about my comment, and as I said in my comment, I am usually a nice person. I just really do not like the Fanfiction branch becoming even less respected each day.
If anyone would ask me, I would gladly help to prevent it.
I want to read your story though, there have been a few gems of the HiE genre.

ugh
math
why do i have to get A's in math and be one class ahead?
stupid geometry and algebra 2
163678 Quick, do cot(90)!
164150
cot?
I don't know what that is.
I'm doing Algebra 2 next year.
Unless you mean cosign.
But cosign is cos.
164249
tan = tangent (opposite over adjacent)
cot = cotan (adjacent over opposite) (reciprocal of tangent)
sin = sine (opposite over hypotenuse)
cos = cosine (adjacent over hypotenuse)
sec = secant (hypotenuse over adjacent) (reciprocal of cosine)
csc = cosecant (hypotenuse over opposite) (reciprocal of sine)
Check out this nifty thing I made [link] dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Twilight_Sparkle_lolface.png (arrow keys + enter key to toggle lines. FYI, it's sideways)

We know of sin, cos, and tan. Guess I'll get into their reciprocals next year.
Sohcahtoa
sin opposite hypotenuse
cos adjacent hypotenuse
tan opposite adjacent
Nifty little saying, sohcahtoa. And hopefully that file will work on a Nook. I'll edit if it does.
Edit
nope
Stupid Nook. I'll chech it out tomorrow.
164466 It should work on Windows or Linux
FYI:
1÷tan=cot
1÷sin=csc
1÷cos=sec
My calculator has an inversion button dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Fluttershy_umad.png

It made my Chrome crash. And then it crashed.
And then Norton didn't like and it removed it.
Nice calculator.
164960 Norton is garbage
Windows is garbage dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Derpy_Hooves.png

Norton, yes. That was my parents.
But Windows I like cause it's the only one I can work with. I haven't even seen a Linux IRL.

you has candy
i want candy
weeeee
that's a cool white van you got there
And I'm also on my computer now. LET'S SEE IF THIS PROGRAMY THINGY OF YOURS WORKS.
Two Minutes Later
IT WORKED.
YAY.
interesting stuff man, interesting stuff
i can't do stuff like that, so blargh.
165268 C++, SDL, boredom, and a few hours in which I had nothing to do = LOLTAN
