SIN plus Other

On thursday May 1st I and a few other people competed in the SIN exam, that being the Sir Isaac Newton Exam. Now a little background information, this exam is like the hardest exam on the face of the earth, even our physics teacher; who takes it every year never gets perfect. I of course failed it, but it was fun anyways. The exam is put on by the University of Waterloo, and if this is any indication of what it would be like to go there, i dont think i want to go there anymore. Many of the questions on this exam have two aspects; an obvious physics/logic one and the much more entertaining political/humourous aspect. For example here is one of the questions:
Belinda Stronach is in an air balloon 57 metres above the ground and she has a bungie cord(made by Magna). She tested the cord out earlier and for every 5m of length there is a 1.5m stretch factor. How long must the bungie cord be so that she may jump down with it attached to her so she can fall within 2m of the ground and punch Tie Domi in the face.
So as you can see they are quite funny, if you know anything about politics. Also this question is quite hard, i had it down to a point where i had two unkown variables and of course I can't solve that. Now had this been a serious exam i might have studied more, but it doesnt really affect things too much so all my studying consisted of was reading over notes on the bus and going over to Steffs for a night to study (that place is freaky: WAY TO MUCH ORLANDO BLOOM), however the Turkish stuff is pretty cool. Anyways I expect my results on that exam to be either 10% or a negative percentage, because if you get a wrong answer they deduct a point, which i know I did.

OK Here is the Other.
Last night the Habs were eliminated (something must have been wrong with Price, he wasn't playing like himself)..... oh well there is always next year, at least they got First in the East. Now we must begin cheering for a new team... My choices are the Pittsburgh Penguins and the San Jose Sharks. This is going to be a good few more series.

Yeah, I love political humour. I love it how the question goes against Tie Domi's political platform and completely debases him. Also, Belinda Stronach is smokin'! Woo! Yeah!
