Ped - just saw your post. We have very much valued your contributions and would very much regret it if somehow you felt this was not the forum for you. Please stay!

Pedagogue, when you were teaching mathematics, did you find that 1 in 10 students understood the binary system while the other half didn't?

well done KT17 - good clue

My limited contribution to educating others was in running a tuition group. I got pleasure in hopefully adding a few marks when the group took the exam. The good pupils did not really need any help but one or two just needed a nudge

thanks ped for hosting

A bit of maths I read recently which is somewhat astounding :
Take 30 steps from your front door, each time doubling the distance between steps. How far would you get ? The answer is roughly 25 times the circumference of the Earth !

Congrats kt17. Thanks for the competition, pedagogue (hope to see you again!). Thanks for the mention, spike.

malcolmx @74: And that's rather how a virus spreads.

Is anyone in touch with pedagogue? Do you think he took my post the wrong way?

Aristo - yes, the piece was about the virus, and was using this to demonstrate exponential growth. By the same token, once any of us go back 20 generations we have over a million direct descendants

@Aristo, @Pedagogue

Aristo, knowing you I know you’ld be horrified to think you’d caused any upset to an online friend here, if I can help by begging Ped to stay with us - they (not sure if he or she) are amongst the very best - and most charming - setters here.

PR and Clueless are the loveliest things and Pedagogue has been such a welcome newbie, despite being far too clever, outshining muggleses like me!

Even if there had been a mistake I wouldn't have pointed it out. And I too always enjoy pedagogue's offerings.

Pedagogue - I hope you reconsider and keep participating - we have a brilliant forum here. The competitions are a welcome diversion from the awful circumstances we find ourselves in and you will be sorely missed.
