So polynomials have poles... at infinity?
Jan. 28th, 2005 08:05 pmThere are quite a few things I want to write here, but I do not feel like writing much right now, so much of it will appear later.
Firstly, our Science Bowl team. Not as bad as last year, where we didn't even get to go, but, well, let's see, originally we were thinking me, Chris, Mark, Andy, and... who was the fifth? Josh Feng? Or was it Noam? Anyway, Chris and Andy both can't go because of JSA it turns out, so now we're reduced to me, Mark, Emi, Josh Feng, and a fifth, undecided person who probably will not come from the QB team.
Secondly, this neat dodecahedral 2005 calendar, made of paper, that Ingrid gave me. Or, as I call it, the dMonth. She actually didn't think of it as a die, apparently. One day on each month is marked; there doesn't seem to be any pattern.
Thirdly, the following exchange from Nomicron. See, we have this Hall of Quotations, for recording funny things the players have said. Anything incorrect in it, though, will be deleted. Currently (by accident) there is a proposal up to add a quote from November 11, 2005.
( Well... )
Coming later: Rumors about what happened on the ski trip, and my sister's description of what actually happened. Vlad actually comes to QuizBowl practice[0]. A piece of the board room table. Another Galitskiy quote, possibly more than one. Possibly other stuff I don't remember right now.
-Sniffnoy
[0]Actually, there won't be any more about this; that's really kind of the whole story.
