Can you imagine the power of an infinite number of Theremins, bringing down defenses, shattering eardrums.
Somehow "piercing" and "woo-woo-woo" don't quite go together in my mind.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The function f is differentiable on the interval 0 < x < 4. If f(1)=1 and f(3)=7, then for some 1 < c < 3, f'(c) must be equal to:
1, 2, 3, 4, or 6?
3. It's the mean value theorem: for some value on the interval, the slope must be equal to the average slope, which is (7-1)/(3-1) = 3.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Jon, that is just about the sweetest story ever. Even with the Tex Avery moments, just so damn sweet. Millions of congratulations all over again!

But fate had other plans and now we have two anniversaries to remember.
I tend to get around this problem by just not remembering them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, there are an infininte number of functions that would fulfill that criteria. The function could be a straight line with slope of 2 3. If not, then say it is a function that has a slope of less than 2 3 for part of that interval. Then another part must have a slope of greater than two, and since it's differentiable then there must also be a point with a slope of 2 3 in there....

Argh!
I get the concept right but flunk on the basic math part!!!!
eta: I drew a little graph but made a mistake - I plotted f(1) = 3 for some reason.....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Aww, that's just the sweetest story evah.

Why is FAQ girl called the FAQ girl, btw? Is it because Jon is the Master of the FAQ?

Excellent. Thank you, Hil, I've put it on my list of things to review. I was trying to do it by reasoning, and I was getting 2. Which is weird, cause now that I look at it? 3.

I think Cindy coined it. I first "introduced" her to the board via an earlier version of that FAQ.
