It's asking you to find the rate of change of it filling up over time, then finding how fast it's filling up at 40ml, but gives you no indication of how fat it is filling up.

I don't think I worded the question the same as it was on the test.

You don't need an exact number. You just say what the instantaneous rate of change is for some arbitrary function in the specified situation.

On my last visit there were less than 1000 posts on this thread.

Scrap that, 1000 pages.

So you're saying that I could just make up any function and find that?

So therefore any answer would technically be correct?

Yup, they do. Real's been around for quite a while though, and I don't remember any name he had before that.

Come to think of it, I don't remember Real back before you left, either. I thought he was around for longer than that.

So when did I leave again? I remember the thread I made insulting Aperture for 5 paragraphs for insulting my dad.

Oh, I'm not back. I just drop every now and then, to be brutally honest, don't have a reason to stay, all the friends and reputation I have here are long gone, only my postcount and join date remain as to prove I'm an oldfag.

I originally just dropped by every 3 months or so to see if JCamelo's animation is still top of the portal.

Well yeah. You made that thread in 2007, and that's pretty much the time that Real joined. Mystery solved?
