I think she knows stuff because she's... well, older, but in terms of application, she fails. She's good at explaining though, so she's probably more math/english. Plus, she's white.
(Btw, she's a b****!)
Anyways, I asked a classmate a simple question...
A ball is dropped one metre above the ground. Every time it hits the ground, the distance it travels up is half of the distance it travels down. What is the total distance the ball travels?
My classmate (who's extremely cocky, by the way) was retarded and answered "infinity". I explained that
1 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.0625 + 0.0625
= 1 + 1 + 1
= 3
He, being the idiot he was, took this as a challenge and asked the teacher. She said the same thing; infinite. However, knowing that she was an extremely obese, b****y, and biased teacher, I just sighed and left, because school was over.
THE END.

lolwut? You're wrong AND you suck at math.
1 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 =/= 3
Come on, don't disgrace the Asian race.

Meh, I forgot to put 3 dots. Just cut by half each time...
1 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.03125 + 0.03125 + 0.015625 + 0.015625 + 0.0078125 + 0.0078125 + 0.00390625 + 0.00390625 + 0.001953125 + 0.001953125 + 0.0009765625 + 0.0009765625 + 0.00048828125 + 0.00048828125 + 0.000244140625 + 0.000244140625 + 0.0001220703125 + 0.0001220703125 + 0.00006103515625 + 0.00006103515625 + 0.000030517578125 + 0.000030517578125 + 0.0000152587890625 + 0.0000152587890625 + 0.00000762939453125 + 0.00000762939453125

I said it's half each time. Assume it never stops. It'll eventually reach a number that looks something like this - 0.
EDIT - And oops, I thought this was discussion. Curses!
