Mathematical proof that 9.99999 recurring equals 10........

x = 9.9999999 recurring
10x = 99.9999999 recurring
10x - x = 99.999999 - 9.999999 = 90
9x = 90
x = 90 / 9 = 10
x = 10
10 = 9.999999 recurring

I found this interesting :p

D&D Character quiz.....

I Am A: True Neutral Human Cleric (3rd Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-12

Dexterity-15

Constitution-13

Intelligence-16

Wisdom-15

Charisma-12


Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Final update from Singapore

Yesterday and today have been fun :). We went to the wedding of one of Karen's friends to a Danish guy, so the wedding was a Chinese/Danish hybrid :p. Was really good to see lots of Karen's friends, some of the them again, others for the first time. The actual wedding was one the beach at Sentosa, with the reception being back away from the beach a bit but still right near the sea. Was a biiiig buffet dinner, niceness :D. Had chicken, lamb, beef and duck. Not bad for one meal :p. Ended up going to bed at about midnight, was a fun day :).

Today got up quite leisurely, and went down for a buffet breakfast (we'd stayed overnight at the hotel). Saw a few of the other guests, although we know of at least 2 who didn't make it down in time for breakfast :p. We then went down the beach to where a couple of Karen's friends were playing in an Ultimate tournament! W00t! Beach Ultimate! Was good to see it being played, and the quality of play was really good as well :). Had a bit of a chuck around, and then had to go back to check out of the hotel. Just before we left the hotel it got incredibly windy, and then started to rain! Pity the poor ultimate players......

All that's left to do here now is to pack, have dinner, and go to the airport. My flight is at 2am, so I need to be there by midnight at the latest really. These two weeks have gone so fast, but it's been two of the best weeks I've ever had. I love this island, and that's not only because Karen's here. Karen's friends are really good fun too, and it'll be great to see them again when I'm over here next. I've enjoyed myself immensely, and it's been wonderful to spend so much time with Karen. I wish I could stay longer.

Day 13....

Yesterday was another pretty relaxed day. Went out late morning to go for lunch at Suntec City. Had biiiiiig lunch at Marche (Karen had a $30 voucher ;p ), and then walked round Suntec for a while. Went into Ceasers Gun Gallery....omg I wish I had the money. All sorts of gorgeous weaponry in there! Oddly enough, Karen would seem to prefer me buying weapons than gundam :p. Odd girl.

Went back to Jurong Point to catch Spidey2 at 4pm. Won't say much about it here, but I really enjoyed it. Doc Ock was done incredibly well :). Just interested now to see who they bring in for #3 :p. After the film we went to Karen's cell. Lots of mad people, with kids running round as well :). Was really good, I really enjoyed it :). Even when one of the guys tried to teach me something to call Karen's parents which Karen kindly translated for me as meaning mother-in-law and father-in-law :o . I think they'd kinda freak if I called them that :p. Oh yeah, I also bought pressie dad (had got stuff for mum, sis and bro in Chinatown), and bought FFVIII for myself :p

Got a wedding to go to today at Sentosa. Should be fun :).

Don't want tomorrow to be my last day here.

Wish I could stay.
