How to pass time in Math Class

[Neil]

Call me a moron, but the best way to pass time in Math, or any class for that matter, is to take a calculator and go 1+1 and keep hitting '=' as many times as you can. It will go up by ones (obviously). I'm up to 30 000. I did that in two 75 minute classes. My goal is to get to a million (1 000 000) by the end of the year. Try it, you can even do it while you're listening in class, just keep tapping that '=' key.

Kind of a funny way to waste away those hours...



Note: This might not work on calculators that don't keep calculating the answer when you hit '=' over and over.

[Leslie]

Heh, sounds like I have something to do in my Queer Theory (aka boredom central) class now... :whistle:

[Suffice]

Lol, dude sounds like fun! Im gonna try it. I hate maths.

[Canadian Joe]

Good idea. I need something else to do other than killing tests...I've got 100% in my math class (any bets as to how long it'll take me to blow it?) so I usually just sit there. Bored. Listening to LP. That's the life... B)

[Tomi]

never thought of that.

thanks for the idea.

[Evi]

yeah i knew that ... i always to that in math class :P

[Hybrid_Bunny]

I'll have to try that sometime! I still have mine even though we're technically not allowed to use calculators anymore..pfft.

[Maëlle]

:lol: it would be more subtle than colouring my exercise book like a chess board

[LPNeSSRGB]

Haha, now I have something to do other than daydreaming&#33; Neil, you just might have saved my life. :lol:
I also try spelling different things on my calculator, that&#39;s also quite amusing. :whistle:

Or write down the number you left off at. :lol:

[Anya]

I&#39;m an idiot. The way I pass time in my math class is press random numbers, turn my calculator upside-down, and it spells a naughty word. :lol:


Like &#39;43ll&#39; would spell the word hell backwards.


I have an odd sense of humor..

:lol: there are just so much you can write in french&#33; My friends and I used to do that in secondary 1&#33;

[Eilonwy]

I should try that in Art class. My teacher&#39;s intelligence level, is, shall we say, sub-par, so I really don&#39;t think she&#39;d care :lol:

[Syphon]

if you have a friend next to you, you can to the 1+1 thing but make it a competition to see who can get to 100 fastest. but lucky me i have games on my calculator so i just play those all lesson.

[May]

:lol: i use to do that in grade 6&#33; i forgot what number i got to though

[Amy]

That&#39;s always fun. I haven&#39;t done that since grade 7... but I will do it again so I have something to do.

[ass_kicker]

i always write words... i forgot how it goes. *gets calculator*

so you can write SHOE and HELL.O. im working on something like f*ck right now.

try it ^_^ by the way, it took me ages to firgure it out.

[Leslie]

Heh, you can write my name in a calculator... :teehee:

[Glenn]

I have a TI-83 and just play games all period.

If you have a similar calculator than I do than u hit 2nd alpha to put on alpha lock and use the green letters to write messages. It&#39;s fun.

Exactly. Whoever said I&#39;d need to start over was thinking WAY to compliacated :lol:


One time, on the school graphing calcluators, I went to sketchpad and drew a big [LP] and a little label under it that said "I pwn j00" That way, the next person to turn on the calculator would be like :o

O. U just borrowed the calculator?

One of my friends was going to borrow my calculator, so I left a message on the screen for him to see when I turned it on. Twas fun. :P

[emmmers]

Phoenix is the best game on TI-81. I either play that, Tetris, or write song lyrics in the alpha lock function. :)

[Matt]

I always used to do that. :)

[Aaron]

You could always pip off and do fun stuff, but hey.

I type in words like 8008135, and 8008, and h311(h = 4 upside down.)... You get the drift.

[Todd]

I play Phoenix, that space-invaders type game on my TI83 all the time. I&#39;ve beaten it many, many times.

Yeah the only thing that sucks is that my calculator doesnt save the highscores. I make the highscore list all the time but it never shows it when I exit and come back.

[Anthony.]

Me and my friends do calculators race in maths. Start at 200, go down to 0 by -1 shots in a min :lol: .

[Canadian Joe]

Phoenix rules all...hehe :lol: Best game ever&#33; (w00t)
