  @debbie Answer: "Because OCTal 31 = DECimal 25." The number \(31\) in base \(8\) is equal to the number \(25\) in base \(10.\) $$ 31_8 = 25_{10} $$ This is because a "ten" would equal \(8\) instead of \(10\) in base \(8,\) so three tens would equal \(3 \times 8 = 24.\) Add the \(1,\) and that gives you \(25!\)

  Making new flags aren't easy you also have to consider the influence of different empires throughout history, for example the Australian flag has the English cross on the upper left because it used to be conquered by the British

  @Nate said in Java course recommendation: @amiabletiger said in Hiiiiiiiiii: @RZ923 haha, ya...I've heard Java's rlly hard tho If you're interested in learning Java, I would recommend the course found here: https://java-programming.mooc.fi/ It's a free, open-source introduction to Java that I took a few years back. It's not super high level, and it gave me a leg up on my early undergraduate computer science classes.

  @Potato2017 @CoherentMango @The-Rogue-Blade Yes, but nowadays people don't really view it as a standard test, they think of it and refer to it more as a "joke" about how to measure how smart someone is. I don't believe that most people take it seriously and, instead, often make cracks like, "[name] is so smart, I bet his/her IQ is even higher than the professor's!", or something like that. We know that Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were definitely very perceptive and clever, so we associate "smart" and having a "high IQ" to them. Of course, like you have said, IQ tests aren't very accurate and don't determine how smart you are or what you are capable of learning.

  @sqwishy What is the chance that Prof. Loh's wife is named Debbie and the one on this forum made by Prof. Loh is also known as Debbie? I could be wrong, but I doubt that raising three children will really take that much time (Unless Debbie has other things to do). Also, even though she might not have a formal math background, she did teach herself math. I believe that Debbie could learn this because it is only for middle school competitions. Also, the website states that Debbie taught her kids math so she must have had some teaching experience. Debbie's location is Pittsburg and even though I could not find where Prof. Loh lives, I did find that Carnegie Mellon University(The place that Prof. Loh teaches) is also located in Pittsburg. I could be wrong because I'm not a stalker and I don't plan to trace her IP address and fly to her. @sqwishy @RZ923 I agree, we should stop being nosy and stop talking about her.
