Math in the Afghanistan Conflict

Most people would think that the war in Afghanistan is only something that has to do with Social Studies, yet there are a few math aspects in the war as well. One aspect is finding out how long the war lasted. Also, sadly, another aspect is how many bombs were dropped. On a happier note, another aspect is how many buildings were repaired and how many people were saved. Finally, there's how many soldiers were braught in.

Wonderful, Glorious Goop

In science class, we had an experiment about the states of matter. On the lab tables, there were beakers filled with "slime" (corn starch mixed with water). We had to find out what state of matter it was: solid, liquid, or gas. My group thought that it was a trick question: that it wasn't a solid, liquid or gas. We thought it was an amorphous solid, which is a solid that will hold it's shape when moving, but will turn to liquid when it stops moving. We later found out that our guess was correct.
