I can translate that easily, but my pronunciation veers into bad french for no apparent reason.

vee...guess? ih vuh any? ar, like are or arr? thuth? Goenuh...uhr in deg dowved o aoust (I'm pronouncing it a bit like august without the 'g'), at tree deg tree mu-mud oedi now or gloch (like glockenspeil with more phlegm).

Hesitations are in the right place, too. Trying to sound it out, like they teach you at four years old. Worked then.

To my credit, I am finding out where f(x)= -x^3-3x^2+9x+5 has minimum or maximum local areas at the same time. While drunk.

Assuming there is some sort of correlation in the data, yes.

(I'm basically working out when a graph does this -> ) and when it does this -> (. I fail to see why I can't just get my calculator to draw the damn thing).

My friend persuaded me to join facebook. I may be forced to shoot myself.
