Redskins' Franchise Record

i think a pretty good post here something to think about and maybe like Schneed10 said wonder what the rest of the nfc east records are over the past 70 years and 1 guy (IRISH) wants to make a smart ass comment and now we're talking about freaking math. give me a break. IRISH suck my A@@!!

I was having a hard time with the following formula last week as I was trying to calculate the original size of content encoded in Base64. It looks simple but it took me couple of hours to figure it out! Any of you fellas want to take a crack at it?

Equation:
((x + 3 - (x MOD 3)) / 3) * 4 = y

Question:
What is x?

Hint: Just do simple algebra to get x on one side all by itself.

Algebra is my arch nemesis

:banghead:

Ok, first we get rid of MOD because I don't like it there and I can because I have MOD(erator) powers. So we get:

((x + 3 - (3x))/ 3) * 4 =y

And we remove the number 4 because Matty said so, and he's the Admin

So ((x + 3 - (3x))/ 3) =y. Now multiple each side by 3

3x + 9 - 3x =3y

3y=9

y =3

or why 3

or "What is Question 3"

Nice try Saden, you thought you could fool us!

(by the way, Hail2em, I'm looking for some historical winning percentages. No luck so far)

I think I have it!!!!! The answer to Question 3 is "3" which is how many points the Skins will beat Dallas by this weekend? At least that is what Peter King thinks!

Is it just me or is everything falling into place for us to possibly make the playoffs?

1) All starting cornerbacks listed as probable.
2) Antonio Pierce hurt for our game (not that I'm worried about his play, but his signal calling).
3) Eagles just flat out sucking it up.

Somehow it always comes back to Question #3 and appropriately so.

I love this site because I can be both a rabid Skins fan and a giant nerd (for example my earlier post on the 1984 references in Fox's power rankings). Its the duality of my being...

Matty, we are all still contemplating the "mysteries of Question number 3". I have no idea what the hell it is all about, but it is cracking me up!!!!

Keep studying young grasshopper, there's alot to learn!

So ((x + 3 - (3x))/ 3) =y. Now multiple each side by 3

3x + 9 - 3x =3y



That three on the left side is under all of x+3-(3x) right?? so

At that point when you multiply both sides by three don't you just get rid of the three in the denominator so the equation at this point would be
x+3-3x=3y
then combine the x and -3x and get -2x+3=2y and then x =-(2y-3)/2 ?? so question 3 isn't the center of the universe??? can't be i must of done something wrong
