    Having trouble remembering the order of operations? Let's raise the stakes a little bit. What if the future of your (theoretical) kingdom depended on it? Garth Sundem creates a world in which PEMDAS is the hero but only heroic when in the proper order.
    Lesson by Garth Sundem, animation by Mark Phillips.

      Because they're all not z's (nazis).

    If I drop my calculus book on the dragon's carotid artery from high enough up, when my book reaches terminal velocity, it should hopefully impart enough force to kill the dragon, so I think that should do it.

      If a lot of people think as you do it could be done small scale but still takes about a month's worth of work for someone already confident in the appropriate languages for the chosen platform to code anything that would be seen as reasonably decent beyond text based. Some things don't work well for large programs you end up with hundreds of lines of code have trouble shot be meticulous and find the most efficient code not just a way of doing it and you have to compile it to make it easily machine readable . Also there's the artwork but before all that there's asking the owner if you can use their idea to avoid copyright infringement.

If I find the correct force and the sine and cosine waves then I will figure it out. The target relative to my position and rotation is 90 feet, so I will throw at a 45 degree angle with the force of 100 lb weight traveling at the force of 10 mph.*
