Something special about this blog

by math_explorer, Oct 29, 2010, 2:33 PM

It has no contrib requests.
I'll take that as a good sign.

Other random interesting things:
Achievement Unlocked: AoPS Style is coming up soon.
So are our midterms.
So is field day.
So is this year's school dance.
So is this year's programming contest.
So is my AoPSday.
So is Christmas.
Well, kind of.
I am the person with the 26th most posts among all users with an underscore in their username.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out some simple information about circumscribed quadrilaterals and their centers. Apparently it's necessary and sufficient that the two pairs of opposite sides both sum to the same value. It can't be that hard to prove, can it?

(Look how spammy this blog is getting.)

(Look how much I like self-depreci?ating humor.)

(Look how often I abuse parentheses.)
