A Reason To Smile

Krayt Dragon88: hey if someone lived on the exact opposite side of the earth from you would you say that is half the world away or the whole world away?

Tea-uh: hmm... good question. i dunno. because it depends on if you're going by circumference or like a straight diameter, right?

Krayt Dragon88: i think it is half the world away cus you travel on the surface not go through the core

Tea-uh: yeah, good point.

Krayt Dragon88: in which case if the exact opposite side of the earth is half a world away then is a whole world away the spot immediatley next to you?

Tea-uh: lol. wow. well... i guess technically so. i never thought about that...

Krayt Dragon88: i mean pretend like you are sitting on my lap, could i say we are a whole world apart and in the same place at the same time?

Tea-uh: LOL. you just want the mental picture of me sitting on your lap. :p

Krayt Dragon88: lol i guess, no seriously its like in precalc when pi is 180 degrees and 2pi is 360 but 0 and 2pi are at the same spot, a whole world away would be the exact spot that you are standing

Tea-uh: mhm. wait, are you doing calc?

Krayt Dragon88: right now? no. we didn't have any homework this weekend.

Tea-uh: oh lol. just asking. i thought maybe homework had triggered the thought.

Krayt Dragon88: no, thats just how my brain works.


:D

Thanks, Kyle. You may not feel like you're helping at all, but you really are.
