I had exactly the same situation in the middle of winter two years ago. And the bast part is that when bus finally came, there were so many people inside, that when I tried going in, I was pushed off by them.

Did they teach you Fermat's just okay theorem?

You kids these days get everything. All I got taught at your age was Fermat's barely passable theorem.

But seriously though, how did they not teach you factorials? They're one of the simplest things to work with in algebra just based on their definition, and they're also incredibly useful.

I taught myself factorials in year seven, but they only actually introduce them in year nine as per curricula...
They're strange.

Everybody peed in a forest, at least one time.
Big percent of us peed somewhere in park or such a place, under tree.
But for Gods mercy, who pees' under tree in the middle of rondo in the Center of Warsaw?
Drunken people in the morning, that's who.
I see them often from my window.
And drunken people singing, swearing and shouting in the middle of the night are normal. God, why is this liquor store under my flat, why?

Calculus homework.
Online calculus homework.
Where your efforts are either rewarded with a check mark, or punished with a silent red x, offering no feedback on what errors you made, leaving you with an answer you spent 20 minutes getting and do not know how to correct. Then you get to spend another 20 minutes doing it again in an attempt to find the error. Maybe that works. Meanwhile your temper rises and your patience decreases as your Saturday is pissed away.
Then you finally get it right. A check mark. One down out of 20, and it only took me an hour.
