Body measurements 2010-04-06
From Amirul:
Recently I'm proposing my research question to my teacher for my extended essay. I'm an IB student. My research question is regarding the estimation of human in buying trousers through reference of neck. What does the relation between the diameter of the neck and the diameter of the waist? I want to see how far does the estimation theory is true for different type of people with different BMI(body mass index)..

But teacher said that it is golden ratio...so nothing interesting... =( really??? But i search on net.... state that my idea seems do not have any relation with the golden ratio so far..... i just want ask you... am I able to perform in my extended essay if i continue with this research question??

BEDMAS? 2006-11-29
From john:
I won a contest and they have a confusing format for the STQ. here it is:
11 (+) 44 (x) 2 (-) 10 (%) 25
I've never seen brackets around the operands and wondering how to treat it. I fear they want me to answer the question left to right as the answer is 4 if I use BEDMAS I get 98.6 (which clearly sounds wrong for what they want)
any thoughts?
