Excuse my ignorance but who are those people in the exact centre of that venn diagram (those who are engineers, can do math and is a tosser)

I'm imitating the earlier 'Venn' diagram in which the colours mix when the sets intersect, as long as it's non-empty, the introduction of the green math one was an attempt to highlight that white indicated empty, so the triple intersection is empty, and nobody who can do math is a tosser (or engineer...)

My MS paint doesn't have a spell check (that I'm aware) of

In that case the line should have been upwards sloping. Your graph says the more the tossers the fewer the beatings.

A straight line slope is not good as you want there to be fewer tossers as a result of the rusty nail plank beatings. Hence, the more beatings there are, the fewer tossers. With fewer beatings, you have more tossers.

So by your Venn diagram all engineers are tossers who can't do math!? :eek:

red_fox's understanding of graphs may be good, but his Venn diagrams are complete BS.

I was imitating the other so called Venn diagram, I'm sure there are tosser engineers who can't do math, but I doubt that any intersection is empty. (I introduced the math to illustrate that white means empty and it fit the original failed Venn diagram)

For those still confused about the graph of Beating vs Tossers, consider if it was the other way:

Looking at it myself again, yes, if you think of plank beatings as the dependant variable then that's the right way now. Its all just a matter of perspective (altough convention places the independant variable on the x-axis).

And my impression of the Venn diagram:

That Venn conveys a totally different point to the one I made/attempted to make. I was suggesting that 100% of engineers are tossers, therefore the red and blue circles entirely overlapped to make purple, and yes I'm aware that's not how they're meant to work.

My apologies, my new interpretation is the following:

So the set of engineers who are not tossers is empty (i.e. all engineers are tossers)*, but there are tossers who are not engineers.

Actually going by red_fox's logic both of your diagrams are the same in respect of 100% of engineers being tossers.

BTW your Venn diagram is wrong because you left out circles for engineers who aren't tossers and tossers who arent engineers, which are required even if they are empty.

Anyway enough of me being the maths version of a grammar nazi.

Hmm you went to all the trouble of drawing another graph to show how little of **** you give...I see.

Ok, last of this diagram nonsense from me:

Those Venn Diagrams, just.... Face palm. Looks like it's going to take an engineer to help you slag off engineers.
To imply that all engineers are tossers, this is the diagram you want

Thank f00k you posted that. It was depressing how wrong everyone was. Though I cant entirely agree, from what ive read here, it seems like everyone else is a tosser, us Engineers are just right!

The level of graph drawing and interpreting in the last few posts is actually worrying considering Venn diagrams are part of the JC pass maths curriculum.:(

It's actually amazing that we've managed to function in society all this time without fully understanding graphs!

the fact the librarians are allowed to talk and laugh as loud as they like and answer their mobile phone when there are signs posted everywhere are reducing noise in the library :rolleyes:

That little b4stard Foxy/Firefox barking like there's no tomorrow.

I normally love the little fella but the runt wouldn't stop barking there when I was trying to do an MCQ exam on Blackboard

love the dog but i can see your point. not the best thing to have in the background during a test. he did seem really jittery today for some reason.

Animals get nervous before an event. Maybe there'll be an earthquake or lava flow caused by excessive digging adjacent to the AM building.

What are those colourful new designs on the walls of the wooden wall along that site anyway? How much did it cost and would it not be better off on a private flight to Austria or something?

It's amazing how quickly the Uni becomes a hive of colour when there is an open day around the corner. It'll be down again next week prob.:rolleyes:

Why do I have so many people that are young foreign gorgeous females... yet happen to be my language teachers

It's horrible!

Croppy Bhoy · 06-04-2011 1:20am

What better way to asses our understanding of 4 different subjects than to give us an essay due in immediately before our exams, then squash all 4 exams into one week.

And no I don't have a better suggestion ¬_¬

If I could afford it, I'd only bother studying for 2 exams (the 2 I want to carry into second year) and leave the other 2 for repeats. As it is though, I'll desperately try and learn all 4 exams, probably fail 3-4 and have to repeat them anyway.

Should have put the effort in since September etc

When people sit in front of a computer in the suites studying, but don't actually use the computer while people are waiting for PC access. Sit somewhere else! :mad:

Zoology labs have been f*cking sh*t this past year, in fact the standard of Zoology teaching depresses me so much after getting my friend to have a look at what they're doing in Cork that I'm seriously considering leaving NUIG. They get field trips and everything :eek:. We get labs that could easily be done as a homework exercise :mad:
