Fun With Numbers

I just finished my Physics test, and I have some issues.

First among them is, surprisingly enough, the way a professor with a doctorate in astrophysics counts her problems. In the review, she said there would be three problems to solve on the test that wouldn't be multiple choice. The difficulty with that is that when test time came today, there were indeed three questions - but each had an A, B, and C part that required you to solve something else - they weren't integrated questions.

That's actually nine questions, so far as I know. It's only frustrating because solving them made me late for my Tai Chi class, and if you're late to the dojo, you don't get in. I haven't missed that class until today. That's issue number two, just to maintain a correct count. It seems to be a difficult practice for lots of folks these days.

Between congress and my professors, I might need to make counting a continuing theme of this blog.
