My phone apparently had a seizure.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Scola, you MUST go to Secret Science Club!!! That's awesome!
The rice is sushi isn't as bad as people think, *from a glycemic standpoint.* (For people who flee carbs, well, then yeah, you're fucked.) But the vinegar that's used in sushi rice makes it lower on the glycemic index than non-sushi white rice (yes, that's despite the fact that sushi rice has sugar in it; go figure).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't quite tell if that's the right equation, but (x-72) + 2 is just x-70.

Good to know! I don't know from the food science but sushi just seems to me like a pretty healthy kind of food. Plus delicious! And I've been craving it all week. But I have a great big, also delicious, salad for lunch so I'll have to get it another day.

Yeah, I know what I need to do- figure out what (x-72)+2 is and then divide that by 72 to get the 15%, but I don't know how to make everything play nice together so I can do that.

“Not dead yet!”
Much better than working out for an hour and craving hot fudge sundaes.
Well, wouldn't have said no to that either, but I resisted. Went with spicy sushi and some garlic pretzel chips to counter the wasabi burn. Am now contentedly stuffed.
Satisfied the sweet craving with a small handful of the mint M&Ms.

Also, sushi is EXTREMELY DELICIOUS and should be consumed whenever possible.

That is so true, it's written on my soul.

I don't like sushi. I like California rolls okay, but even those tend to come in such big pieces I can't eat them happily. I need littler bites. Mini-sushi.

Ugh. See, this is how bad I am at math, I don't even know how to explain it so that it's understandable.
I'm doing a rate of return problem: P1= the price of stock one year from now (which is x here), P0= the price of stock now, (which is 72) and the rate of return also includes the dividend, which is D1 (or 2 in this example). So the rate of return equation is (P1-P0)+D1= Rate of return.
So once I figure out what (x-72)+2 is, let's call that y, I need to solve for y, which is y divided by 72 which produces the rate of return which is 15%.
