but, according to the statement, i was asked how to find the center of a flat balloon. a flat anything is two dimensions. a balloon (im assuming by the statement) is a circle. i happen to be in college, and could not have gotten there without passing algebra, geometry, and trigonomitry. you can scoff all you like, but i am simply answering the questions you present on the level you present them.

Sometimes, to make full use of your college education, you need to think "outside" the box.

I do not scoff at you...MANY of my students came from public school systems that did not prepare them to actually think and reason, much less make inferences and deductions from observations.

I can tell you from hard experience that the typical undergraduate is stone ignorant of these subjects. I'll grant that they may have passed them, however.

You haven't studied topology much; at least by what you have been posting. Thus, your mistake about the circle. A circle is a one-dimensional object of constant curvature. There is no straight line joining any two points as you were claiming.

All this goes back to Gauss (and later Riemann.)

You passed Trigonometry?
