Does this help in deciding if one has Winter or Summer Diesel #2?

[Perseverando]

Oh heck, I thought everyone knew this. I’ve been doing it that way for years.

[Jane Long]

lol! 🙃

[buckalfa]

We were told there would be no math.

[kosciusko51]

Yes, it doesn’t seem to be a new way to solve the problem.

[ClearCase_guy]

Common Core says you can’t do it this way.

[Red Badger]

Common Core says there’s no such thing a Quadratic Equations...............

[Red Badger]

I would think a thermometer would....................

[Red Badger]

They lied....................

[Menehune56]

I’ve already got that formula seared in my brain but thanks!

[Leaning Right]

Meh. I watched the video, twice. And I don’t see how this guy’s method is that much better then the old quadratic formula method.

In fact, I like the old method better because it’s more mechanical. You just plug in the numbers and out come the solutions.

[Billthedrill]

Never saw anything so racist.

[MHGinTN]

Is it easier than cursive writing?

[jonascord]

bkmk

[Red Badger]

Seared into your memory like Kerry’s trip to Cambodia!..............

[BobL]

“Common Core says there’s no such thing a Quadratic Equations...............”

No. Common Core says to punch the problem into a calculator.

[Red Badger]

My calculator doesn’t have a,b,and c on it...............I have another one that does, though..................

[gundog]

Always laughed at multiple choice tests that had you solve quadratic equations.

[Red Badger]

You always had a 1:4 chance of getting the right answer without doing the problem!...................
