Have you ever wondered, "Hey, if I ever time traveled to 1876, would I be able to get into MIT?" If you have, then today's your lucky day!

I could probably do that math completely right, and I'm not even good at math. That stuff is what we've been learning 9th grade, more or less.

Cute.

If it weren't for the race issue, I could be a brilliant philosopher in the 2000 bc's.

That and language barrier.

edit: what's the formal way to find roots? cubed roots? etc?

I'll bet I could do most of that, but the thought of having to makes me cry out in anguish.

Nope. Could't do it.

I think it's an Arizona thing.
