the answer is not "word" nore all the other stuff you said, tell me if you give up..

A one-syllable long word is:

straights

9 letters!

I could never get the hang of syllables. Stupid, i know! Ask me to find the derivatives of simultaneous quadratic equations using irrational fractions or something stupid like that and i'll do it at the drop of a hat, but i just could never get the basics of English Langage down!

Im better at French than English actually!

Tell me about it! English still surprises me. Typing the damned stuff doubly so.

Ditto here unfortunately. I can tell you the pluperfect subjunctive of to go in Spanish but in English I haven't got a clue...

d/dx ( -3x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x -23)

Sorry.

Correct


Here's another 1 for you all.........

The longest word in the English language with only one vowel (and the vowel is only used once, so no cheating ) has 9 letters. It also does not contain the letter "y" (or at least the one I'm thinking of doesn't).

Any ideas ??

=-9x^2 +4x -3

well, that's my maths revision done for the day! been a while since i did standard derivatives actually. got a partial differential equations module next year. should be good, not as good as crypography mind!

w00 cryptography

You're too old for the Cipher Challenge though

That reminds me, I have to find all my programs from last year...

Kati

Cipher Challenge?

I think its actually 8x Lawrence, but im not one to pick faults.

Whats this cryptology thing?

wierd thing is when i read this i remembered typing 8x when i did the previous post. wierd that when i look at it it's different. in my head i got it right at least, it just didn't translate through my hands (yeah, i like that excuse!)

cryptology, cryptography etc... basically: code breaking, and making!

edit: cryptography would be the making/breaking
cryptology would be the study of them (er, i think)

I know how you feel. I very often mean to go and tidy something up or something, and come back with a pack of cards and a beer, having forgotten to tidy that thing up! Or accidentally find myself in the pub...
