Would you like to give that math another shot?:)

For the given ten-year period, the average number of fatalities per month was 3,155. Pretty close to 3K, considering I didn't make exact calculations the first time.

I think he's talking about this:

Notice that at any given time, a general average of more than 3000 fatalities occur every month!!! Any you said 38 people died in May???? Here we are dealing with close to 10 times that amount for motor vehicles!!!



Hint: What's 38 times 10?



Maybe that's why your "GS instuctor (sic) looked at [you] kind of strange, and said 'you can't figure it on paper?'." Am I honestly a retard??? :)






:rolleyes:

TonyC, I'm not sure I can multiply 38 by 10 without a calculator. Let me give it a shot. 380??? Oh crap!!! I was way off when I stated "10 times" that amount. It should've been 100. It's probably to late to convince you that "10" was a typo. After all, I really truly believe that 38 times 10 is 3800...:rolleyes:

The fact that you go above and beyond the mainstream, to point out typos and spelling errors in an effort to undermine the credibility of a faceless stranger, might just say something about you. To start, you need to get a life.

You slay me.


A life?!?! . . . LOL . . . ROFL . . . That is SO hilarious! ! ! ! ! !


Am I being advised by the guy that has set the standard for starting threads with stupid questions to get a life?!?!


LOL . . . . . ROFL . . . LOL . . . ROFL


Oh, this hurts...

Nobody needs me to undermine your credibility, fella.


LOL . . . . . . ROFL . . . . LOL . . . ROFL


This is priceless ...



Anyway... Thank prpjt for pointing out your error, and yourself for not being able to see it.






:rolleyes:

TonyC, I ask various questions because I don't know the answer. I believe that is the responsible thing to do. The fact that these questions appear "stupid" to you or others, is something I have no desire to counteract. I will say however, that if I need to weed through BS such as your degradations in order to gain just a little more understanding, so be it.
 
how did that joke go about fighting in the internet and the special olympics?

wow tony


you really dont like this guy
It has nothing to do with like or dislike. His antics are simply tiresome. If the guy really is a student, I feel for his instructor.

Yea, yea, yea... I have brick imprints on my forehead, too, from the constant banging. I should know better, shouldn't I?

Any why is that? Is it because I ask too many stupid questions??? Perhaps I should resort to complete silence, and assure myself that I already know the answers. I'm sure that's a much healthier mentality....

Or is it because I cannot divide numbers on paper??? That must be it. We have spent countless hours in the cockpit trying to solve long-division problems on paper while enroute. I tell him I would rather use a calculator, but he ritualistically insists that I must master this long-hand division or I will fail the checkride....

Or is it because I have started a few meaningless threads on this forum? After all, he continuously frequents this forum and is relentless in his need to oversee the activities conducted in my spare time....

You're right TonyC, I am starting realize the gravity of the situation. I'm picking up the phone right now, and telling my instructor that I quit flying. I'm sure that he'll be more than ecstatic..............that his instruction and desire to see a student excel has been done in vain.

You're an a$$

you can use the E6B for that
 
I'm sorry, Kream926. I can't seem to help myself.

Questions that you should be asking your instructor. That's what he gets paid to do. He has a cerificate to do that, you know? You know nothing about the credentials, expertise, or reliability of the information you get here.


UnAnswerd said:

No, it's because you whine that someone expects you to demonstrate high school math skills.


UnAnswerd said:

FEW?!?!? Three clicks and I can see that you've started 123 threads. With a little over 400 total posts to your credit, that's over 25% of your posts devoted to asking these questions.

I doubt you have an instructor, and I doubt you have a phone number. If you did, you should have been using it to ask 90% of the questions you've asked here. If you do, and you keep your word, let us know how the phone call goes. Make sure you get him to sign the log book first, though.


If I were an ass, I would have responded to Am I honestly a retard??? with a simple YES. However, five characters is the minimum required for a post, and I didn't care to waste two puntuation marks.

With one fewer click you could have added him to your ignore list.
OK, what's the secret? I can only see a three-click method. How do I get there from here in two?

Did you mean “certificate”??? Learn to spell before you project your bold accusations regarding "high school level education".
TonyC said:

That's a given. Not just here, but every place on Earth. I think it stands to reason that we all have a responsibility to decide for ourselves how credible something may be, even if simple common-sense is the primary factor influencing our decision. Regardless, this is an aviation forum, and aviation questions seem, for some reason, relevant. Additionally, you act as if I say nothing to my instructor, and instead, rely 100% on flightinfo.com for the acquisition of aviation knowledge and wisdom. That is not the case, and the fact that you'd uphold that contention is far beyond anything warranting further response.

Man, you've really done your homework. Part of my does wonder though, why you even care...

TonyC said:
I doubt you have an instructor

Try and have some faith...

Finally,

TonyC said:

And so too are your ritualistic, abrasive personal degradations. Frankly, I'm flattered that you care so much about me!

Ouch. Caught in a typo - - I think I'll go crawl in a hole now. :)


UnAnswerd said:

No, that was 8 seconds of research and a little mental math.


UnAnswerd said:

Part of your what? :)

(Or is "my" a typo? :) I'm crawlin' outta my hole, now.)


UnAnswerd said:

I knew I was running that risk - - I guess I'm justa glutton for punishment.

TonyC, final question:

Will your hatred ever subside???
Hatred? :) Don't you think that's just a little over the top? I care about you, but not nearly THAT much. :)

UnAnswerd,

I say this in the most constructive way possible. I think that sometimes you have a tendency to post before you have tried to find the answer to the question yourself. Flying is a very study-intensive field, and you might as well get used to having to do some research. As a flight instructor, it's a daily occurance for me. For a lot of your questions, a little study on your part would have completely settled the matter for you, and I think that's what is concerning a lot of the users here.

Good luck with your flying. Study hard.
