Get a pet rock.

Seriously though, I made a small potato patch next to my institute and it's been doing wonders for me. I go there about once a day, check on my plants, remove a couple weeds, and think about harvesting and re-planting.

You'd be upgrading a hard Brexit to a cross-channel invasion Olympics, with 26 participants.

That earned a chuckle.
Can confirm.

You could do a tour of Mexico, if the crime rate doesn't scare you off. Go somewhere properly foreign, y'know?

Rank isn't an easily computed invariant like determinant though, and mere existence of a solution isn't all that hard to establish: Just check that the points given don't map one number to two different outputs, and you can construct a solution geometrically. Use the constant part to drag the first point to the x axis, drag the second point to the x axis with the linear term*, and then apply the intermediate value theorem to establish that you can hit the third point using the remaining term.

*This is where we'd hit a snag if we had two outputs above the same input, since that would require a flip by 90°.

The coordinates of the matrix are the points that would yield the polynomial x^2, no? The computing of the determinant probably gives you some sort of existence and/or uniqueness condition, but that's just a guess. If the three points are not distinct, then your polynomial is definitely not unique, and that determinant is definitely zero. No idea though

Sure. The Voluntary Extinctionism crowd, for example.

Don't worry, it'll pass in fifteen to twenty years.

So why did the guys in St. Petersburg get arrested? Did they change location too?

2.000 according to German media.

After a deed such as this, no man deserve to live a life that is not shadowed by it.
He's not a man, he's 14.


Sheb: As martinuzz wrote above, what he did will factor into future evaluations - just not as part of his criminal record, but as part of his medical one.
