    yesterday was an 11 in my books. Spent the morning finishing my pres so was happy to get them done. Then spent 11.15 am to 10.15 pm with my friends getting food, going to sherlock holmes in cinema, chipping in to buy a soccer ball which we played with in shopping centre car park for 3 hours before putting it on omniplex roof. Went to friends house and had a playstation fest until 10.15 last night

    definition of epicness!!!

    FFS I thought nobody would have noticed before the edit. How did it take you so long to post it?

    I saw it too. I was going to say it had no solution.

    Last second I decided to remove an extra line and embolden the "<"

    Still can't be solved. You're missing what set it belongs to. xŠZ? xŠR? xŠN? xŠQ? ya i know the symbol is wrong but its the closest thing to the "element of" symbol on my phone

    Yay, i corrected jumpguy on something maths related! :eek: and he even went to the trouble to find the official symbol!

    edit:symbol didn.t quote right

    5<x<7 is a set of solutions in itself sure. Providing it's in Z, Q, R, N. Doesn't work for P as 6 isn't prime. Don't think it works for C either as I'm not sure you can compare complex numbers.

    Assuming it uses integers as in the poll, the set has a single solution: 6

    It uses natural numbers but that doesn't affect the answer

    Well it really depends on how the set N is defined, which is often based on whether it's either non-zero integers or positive integers. It's not given so it's safer to assume it's Z.

    It is given, he edited it in after i asked and in jc higher level maths, n={0,1,2,3...}, so in this case it wouldn't affect the answer.

    Yeah but you're forgetting the Theorem that states jumpguy is always wrong (unless he agrees with me).

    JC maths is not reliable, it believes 22/7 is a decent approximation for pi. Other than that my college maths usually excludes zero.

    Nowadays, they usually ask for your answer in terms of pi or just won't say anything, no "take ¶ as 3.14" meaning you use the pi button on calculator so its becoming more accurate, to 10 decimal places before rounding or a multiple of pi now.

    Makes sense and is a perfectly valid sentence.
