    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.

    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)

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

    I'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 '43ll' would spell the word hell backwards.


    I have an odd sense of humor..

    I should try that in Art class. My teacher's intelligence level, is, shall we say, sub-par, so I really don't think she'd care :lol:

    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.
