number of ways to determine which item has a greater or lesser value. Process From the previous POW it was concluded that it would take 5 weighings as described by the equation for an unknown item value: However‚ this is an overestimate as there is a way to determine the lighter of nine items with only two weighings.

“The Swimmer” John Cheever’s short story “The Swimmer” was probably the most confusing story we have read in our class. When I read it the first time‚ the whole idea of “pool hopping” had stuck me as very odd.

That is why I decided to buy my own cue and did this without knowing that there is actually a bit of basic knowledge needed to select the right one. Well‚ I figured that out real quick. First of all‚ I didn’t realize that I would need to spend over $15.00 for a good cue. To get a good cue‚ you need

swim in their sizable swimming pool. It has a 15-ft deep end‚ a separate hot tub‚ a slide (not a particularly safe one‚ but still fun)‚ and a diving board. However‚ the only thing that I couldn’t stand about it was their robotic pool cleaner. The very cleaner that would soil my playtime and send me into terrified hysterics.
