  • Can you fit an infinite amount of triangles in a nonagon?

    A nonagon has 9 sides.

    A triangle has 3 sides.

    9 can be divided by 3.

    My theory is if you took a regular nonagon, could you fit an infinite amount of triangles inside of it, disregarding the triangles having a static size?

    Let the triangles be able to shrink each time a new one is added. Would you be able to fit an infinite amount without ever leaving an empty gap inside of a nonagon?

  • song for amv?

    I want to make a character for an oc of mine but I need a song?

    The story is that he died on holiday showing off to his girlfriend by jumping into a river, in which he drowned. Every year on the anniversary of his death his parents and now ex girlfriend return to mourn him as his spirit watches, though they dont know he is there. I want the song to be about regret.

    My character is 17, called Gideon, and is pretty awkward and not good at relating to people which he makes up for by being cocky and showing off to impress others.

    Id like the song to be indie or punk rock or alt. rock, about regret, but not solely about love. Preferably a male singer, but that isnt too important

    Thank you!

  • How to explain disorders to new people?

    I've never really had a problem with this before; people never used to be so touchy-feely or loud or scary, but since I started year 10 people have just gotten really intimidating, and they keep triggering panic attacks or being hostile towards me when I get upset over things that are normal to them.

    But if I explain my disorders, 1 they might think I'm whining about it and 2, they might not believe me and 3, they might not even know what they are. Please suggest how I can approach this next time I need to?

    I have Asperger's Syndrome, ADD, Synesthesia and social anxiety.

  • Mac keyboard won't connect?

    So my keyboard for my mac went out of battery yesterday, so I changed it and it worked fine. But I went on my mac again just now and it won't work; it's blinking like it's in discoverable mode but after a few seconds it stops. Also, I can't get onto my profile because it is password-protected and guest only lets me use Safari.

  • Two things that are basically the same thing?

    Basically two separate things that are pretty much exactly the same. Like Cola and Pepsi for instance.

  • I had a nightmare... Help?

    Okay so two of my best friends recently got into a relationship. I helped him get her, even though she saw him as just a friend. It was complicated but in the end she wound up liking him too and asked him out, they are now together (:

    I have to admit after this I was terrified of becoming the third wheel. But they both keep me involved and see me together and seperately, and everything is just as it was before, except they're together now.

    But last night I had a nightmare involving them and it really bugs me. Help?

    We were walking outside a shopping centre we all live near, not sure why. They were holding hands and I was trailing behind, though still involved in the conversation. Then this man came behind me and grabbed me and he had a knife, and he was pulling me backwards. I was screaming to them for help. I remember saying "Help me," and "Please don't leave me," and "I need you," and I was crying and kicking out and everything. But they didn't turn around, I don't think they noticed. They didn't even achknowledge me at all and carried on walking like normal. And then I woke up.

    I don't know what this means and I talked to the boy in the relationship about it, but he didn't try to come up with a solution. I winded up telling him that I didn't have a problem, I just wanted to tell someone. Truth is, I really want to know what this means and why.

    If it's relevant at all, I'm fourteen and they're both fifteen, I'm a school year below them. I'm a girl. I've been best friends with the girl since I was seven and best friends with the guy since I was nine.

    Thanks (:

  • Does my cousin have Asperger's?

    I have been watching my younger cousin closely lately. She is fourteen years old and will turn fifteen at the end of October. These are things I have noticed about her:

    -She has an obsession with The Lion King

    -Although she does not choose to watch it, if Thomas the Tank Engine is already on she will watch it without complaint, seemingly interested. She likes the theme tune.

    -She is in her own little world a lot of the time. She likes to be on her iPod listening to music or on her laptop or reading a book and not talling to anyone. She gets very upset if someone is to take her iPod away from her and seems very anxious without it; I have come to the conclusion that she finds comfort from having it with her.

    -She is incredibly socially awkward, scared to go near strangers however much we encourage her to make new friends. She dislikes physical contact and avoids eye contact unless she deeply trusts you. She hardly ever initiates hugs and although claims to like hugs, pulls away as though frightened when you hug her. Although, once you make friends with her she is very loyal and gets attatched to the person- if that person was to die or move away for example, she would pretty much break down.

    -She is in top set for everything at school, often achieving high average or above. She gets brilliant Math results although she complains of a headache when doing math problems, and despite claims of trying very little and not being interested in the sciences, gains way above average marks for it.

    -She excells at drama and drawing, and has her own little world she 'visits' and makes stories with.

    -She still has imaginary friends.

    -She has very high happy days and then days where she is grumpy, snappy and seems sad.

    -She has problems speaking about problems with people and expressing her feelings.

    -She can get very hyperactive at random times for absolutely no reason at all.

    So, what do you think? Thank you :)

  • Will throwing up help?

    I have a productive cough and I've had it for a while now. I can't breathe easily and have to think about breathing constantly or else I just wont breathe. I feel like I am suffocating. I am not asthmatic and have no access to an inhaler right now.

    I was wondering if making myself throw up might help? It might get all the mucus out but I'm not sure. I've tried coughing a lot to get it out but it just stays at the back of my throat and I automatically swallow it again.

    I don't know if this would help but just in case, I am a 14 year old girl, 5ft 2.

    Thanks c:

  • Ignored and forgotten, or just overreacting?

    Okay so, a lot of the time because I'm an aspie I like to be left alone. However, I do like to be involved the majority of the time and my friends usually respect this and understand when I dont want to be bothered to leave me alone xD

    But recently, yesterday in fact, my best friend, other best friend (also her crush), and other friend and me went to the park and had a great time, like usual. Then the other friend left leaving me, her and her crush who is also our other best friend.

    I had to go home for tea so I did, and then on my way back to them I got a text from her saying she was havig tea with our other friend and she'd text me when they were done and we'd go back to the park for another few hours. She never texted me back so 50 minutes later I texted saying "surely you're done now?" And she replied, "sorry got to walk (otherbestfriend) to the bus stop now". I didnt reply. She hasnt texted back.

    I feel like she forgot and ignored me by doing this.

    And then today in maths we did team quizzes and of course I was with three friends. The teacher kept nagging me to help my team and I was trying, doing the sums in my head and telling them the answers but they didnt listen and ignored me completely (these are different friends by the way, not from the park thing). A bunch of times that I had the correct answer, they had got it wrong. And we lost in the end. And they blamed me.

    Later on during ICT, one of those friends got two different friends to sit next to her in MY seat (You may think this petty but I can't deal with people sitting where I sit and having to sit somewhere else, it gives me a headache and I dont like it). When I protested she told me to **** off because there were other seats. I sat on the other side of the room. After that she didnt talk to me at all and ignored me saying goodbye at hometime.

    I didnt do anything to her or my other friends to upset them! Please at least explain what is happening and what to do, I'm so confused!

    Thank you :c

  • I can't stop crying?

    I'm fourteen. My parents divorced nearly 10 years ago and I have a stepdad and a little sister and an older brother (both half siblings, each have different dads), and it has never seemed to affect me before as I was nearly 5 when it happened and so I'm used to it all. But now all of a sudden I keep thinking what it would have been like had they stayed together, and memories of how it used to me keep coming back and I keep crying.

    What's more, I'm going into year 10 next year and most of my best friends are going into year 11, which means they'll have left school this time in two years and will leave me behind. I get scared that they'll leave me altogether. And my othe best friend is in a different school (he goes all boys while I go all girls) and he lives far away from me anyway to it's rare that I see him. I am terrified that when we leave school we wont speak again.

    One of my internet friends has a month to live, and I know it sounds crazy but I am so close to him, he feels like family. I dont want him to die.

    I have asperger's so expressing feelings physically is so hard; the sadder I get the happier I seem to everyone else. I can't seem to tell anyone or explain or at least drop a hint. One of my best friends I tell all my problems to when I'm down- but I'm scared of telling him more in case he gets annoyed. After all, he is my friend, not my therapist.

    I have no idea what's happening... Maybe it's normal teenager stuff? Or is it depression? Or is it something else? Please please help guys, I can't handle it anymore!

  • Character names for a story?

    Hi! I'm going to write a story about a guy. The prologue is him killing his best friend, then killing himself. As he's dying, the rest of the story is a flashback of his life and how he met his best friend and everything that happened etc... Only now I need a name for him.

    What I've got so far:

    Him- He has asperger's syndrome and is very anti-social. He has an unusual unisex name that sounds for femenine than masculine and he gets picked on alot for it. He has icy blue eyes and his hair is dark brown, a sort of messy floppy bowlcut that covers his forehead. He often wears black.

    Willow- Willow is his best friend who he kills. She has brown hair and brown eyes, and although very pretty is a bit of a tomboy. She is the only one in their class who doesn't pick on Him and becomes his friend. She becomes the only person he truly trusts and loves. She is very kind and caring and is somewhat of an older sister/motherly figure to Him, even though they are the same age. She defends him against everyone.

    Ricky/Rory- the crazy, lovable nerdy guy who hangs out with Willow and Him. He is sort of an outcast, like Him, except he doesn't seem to mind. He is very innocent throughout the book and is friendly towards everyone. He forms a strong friendship with Him aswell as Willow, but not as strong. He is very carefree and funloving, but fiercly protective of his friends. Sometimes this can be bad as he is not the strongest fighter, and is bad at standing up to people. He is very sweet and caring, although he can be quite annoying at times. He has blond hair and blue-green eyes, and always wears a brightly coloured striped t-shirt with jeans. He is the comic relief most of the time, which makes his death quite possibly the saddest scene in the whole book, as I am hoping he will be that one character that everyone loves.

    What I need help with now is a name for Him. It must be unisex, femenine and uncommon.

    Also, should our little comic relief be called Ricky or Rory?

    Thanks guys!

  • My kitten... Is something wrong with him?

    So I have a kitten who is six months old; but here's the bad thing... He's not grown at all since he was two months old! He's tiny! He's adorable though owo

    But he has all the right mental developments and he's a right little thirteen year old, but he's so little! Is there something wrong with his growth?

    He is a moggie, so we don't know his true breed. I am sure there is a little bit of Maine Coon in there somewhere. He is a gray tabby with a white underbelly and beautiful copper eyes, and a little pink nose. He is forever climbing, no matter how much I tell him off!

    He's totally normal in the way he acts, it's just his height worrying me.

    Thanks!

  • Is it really that bad?

    People at school have started making fun of me because me, my brother and my sister all have different dads, and we're really far apart in age (my sister is 5, I'm 13 and my brother is 24). Our mum is divorced from my dad and my brother's dad, but still married to our sister's dad.

    Is it really that bad, or are people at school just being jerks? Thanks ^^

    What do you think I should do? Please help :c I'm not being a drama queen, please don't say anything like that. I know I'm being ungrateful for all the nice stuff I have but that's exactly what it is; stuff. I want to feel loved too, not feel unimportant and unwanted. I want to just be a normal family with no fights. I want to be me and wear my casual clothes and have my hair up. I want to be happy.

  • Should I run away from home? Part 2 please don't answer here! Answer on Part 3 please?

    I like my dad's. It is where most of my friends are. I also have the freedom that every young teenager my age should have, like being able to express my opinions and dressing how I like. (And it's nothing like slutty skirts and tight tops; I like jeans, tshirt, hoodie and converse, hair in a ponytail. My mum likes me in skinny jeans, sandals, flowy long shirt, hair down, proper dressed up like I'm going somewhere even if I'm staying in.) I have a good relationship with my dad, and on this side of the family noone fights and everyone is happy. On the downside, my dad isn't very well off with money. I only have one set of clothes there and quite a small room in quite a small house, and my bed is uncomfortable though I don't notice anymore because I'm so used to it. On the upside, I have a pet and a laptop and good meals (though most are unhealthy), and I can bring my ipod and stuff from mum's. In short, I am brought up in a loving environment that teaches me that I matter as much as everyone else yet also teaches me to be polite and never assume I am the best, but have a poor lifestyle. But I am happy there!

    Children's home: I have found a local children's home, 10 minutes walk from my mum's. I don't know much about it at all, except for how to get there.

    I want to run away from my mum's as it is all getting too much.

    My choices are:

    -Run to dad's: Good things: trusted adult, safe place, family. Bad things: I would be home alone often, I would eat unhealthily, she would barely have any clothes (I could buy some)

    -Stay at mum's: Good things: sheltered, fed and safe. Bad things: everything else

    -Run to friend's: Good things: trusted family, safe Bad things: 2nd place they would look (after dad's), not permanent

    -Run to local children's home: Good things: it's a children's home and it's local. Bad things: could get in trouble, could get caught and sent home, could get lost on the way there.

  • Should I run away from home? Part 1 Please don't answer on this one until you've read Part 2?

    I am 13. My parents are divorced. Both have custody over me but my dad works shifts and so my mum has residency. 

    Mum: My mum's side is constantly having family fights which causes me stress and I'm always asked what side I'm on and I don't know what to say, and if I say something she disagrees with I get in trouble. For stating my opinion. She is overcontrolling and dictates what I wear and what I do. She favours my younger sister. She doesn't let me say what I want and therefore I lack in self-worth and confidence. I don't know how to talk about my feelings to others aswell; even typing this is taking really long due to me thinking about what I'm trying to say and how to say it. I've been here for 20 minutes. She tells me to be more grown up, but when I do I am being 'aresy' and a 'cow'. I can never do anything right and am not respected. I have no privacy; she always looks through my phone and if I ring someone she wants to know who it is and why and I get in trouble no matter who it is, and she always just barges into my room. I'm always put down about what I like and the way I am. My step-dad is like this too. On the other hand, this side of my family is quite well off money-wise and have a fairly big house. I have a pet, nice clothes, decent food, warmth, and all things like an ipod, laptop, kindle, etc. In short, I am brought up in a cold lonely and shunning environment but with a good lifestyle. But I'm very unhappy here.

  • 13 and Pains in the heart area?

    Hi! So I'm 13 and I get these wierd stabbing/shooting pains in the outer left side of my upper chest, around the heart. The worst of the pain often doesen't last long and half the time a dull ache is left behind for about 20-30 seconds. The other half it stopa completely. Often the pain stays for a mintue or so, making it hard to breathe and I have to take short, shallow breaths and even they hurt. It's been going on for quite a while now, though it only happens once or twice a day at the most. At the least, once a week. It's getting really annoying now and I want to know is there something wrong with my heart? I don't know about my family's medical history but I'm sure there is no heart related issues. I don't smoke and I don't drink (except for when someone's having a blue WKD where my mum lets me have a sip, but thats once every blue moon). I have been going through quite alot of stress (I would say lately, but it's pretty much always been like this) so it might be because of that.

    Please can someone help me? Thanks!
