Which explains why he had to guess at your meaning.

What pisses me off about you is that while you are very smart and educated and noisy, your brain isn't very available for picking. You don't seem to be looking to share. You seem to be all about posturing.

Ask me any question you like and I will try my best to answer if it isn't too personal. My brain is always available for picking to those that ask. Those that merely accuse me of trolling because they don't like the fact that their argument is bad are just sore losers.

Says the poster whose only contribution to this thread so far is posturing while trying to attack me because you didn't like the way the discussion went in another thread.

Tell us what you think:
If you have two buckets of water at different temperatures and you mix them, will the resulting temperature ever be anything other than in between the two temperatures? Is that obvious to you or did you have to work it out?

Merely saying 'you're wrong' doesn't constitute an argument. But that is your main hole card. It really seems like fishing. Arm wrestle!

I realize you hate me for crushing you with stuff you didn't expect. Every time we duke beyond a feint or two. Arm wrestle!

I get that. You offered no explanation in your first post here. That is what I've pointed out. Why is merely popping in to say 'you're wrong' sufficient in your book? You're busy moving on to the next thread, right. Like fishing.

Arm wrestle!

Is it obvious to you or not?

I didn't realise I needed to. I assumed he had asked the question wrong as I clearly stated.

And what exactly are you doing in this thread other than popping in to criticise me for no other reason than you got embarrassed in the other thread?
Have you considered the possibility that saying 'your wrong' might be inviting questions for further explanation? I note that you don't actually have any such questions and there aren't actually any topics for which my explanations have not been adequate for you as instead of asking such questions you are sitting there complaining. Seriously you are not in a position to be criticising other peoples posting style.

I'm happy to check your working. Don't worry about the other thread, I'm pretty thick skinned.

I have much grounds for objection, but surrender and hope you really have a good

Because the exact relationship is not so obvious and I have not checked your work. Besides, DeepThought who is clearly better at such things than I has already done so.

[b]I directly asked you that question, you completely ignored it, and now you are trying to tell me what I should be asking instead.
DeepThought had already answered your question ...[text shortened]... add till the paint in the bucket is perfectly white? Do you need a mathematical proof to answer?[/b]

"Let me give an analogy. If you have a bucket of Red paint, how much white paint must you add till the paint in the bucket is perfectly white? Do you need a mathematical proof to answer?"

Let me give you an analogy. There is in existence a 300 page paper proving that 1+1 = 2.

So, congratulations: you've correctly stated the "obvious". You have also learned absolutely nothing...

I do not understand the analogy. Perhaps you can explain?

Well it was obvious to me. I didn't realise it wasn't obvious to you.

Neither, apparently have you. You are too upset to listen.
