Default Why the hell don't you guys tell me anything? 3 hours of maths today.

I had lots of fun.
I remembered the quaternion crap which I never really understood but knew how to use for rotations.

Well we covered imaginary numbers and polar conversions and stuff.
It was useful and fun.
Why didn't you guys tell me about this sooner?

We're part of a secret society which does not disclose its arcane knowledge to outsiders. Just don't tell linhat

We're all secretly jealous as hell of you and wanted to knock you off your high and mighty pedestal just a little.

Have you read the Calvin and Hobbes with imaginary numbers? It's exactly what you reminded me of with that "eleventy-seven".
