Title: Positives and Negatives Post by: Mookiemoo on August 12, 2009, 21:13:33 Yes. I was being mildly sarcastic. Sorry. And I was equally be sarcastic I guess: sarcasm + sarcasm = negative sarcasm A bit like: minus + minus = positive !!!!!!!!!!!! Edit note: This, and the following posts, were originally at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=5161.msg48169#msg48169 but I thought they were so good, they deserved a topic of their own. C. ;) Title: Positives and Negatives Post by: devon_metro on August 12, 2009, 21:20:24 minus + minus = positive !!!!!!!!!!!! -1+-1 = -2 ;) I think you mean double negative equals a positive. i.e -1--1 = 0 :) Title: Positives and Negatives Post by: Mookiemoo on August 12, 2009, 21:26:32 minus + minus = positive !!!!!!!!!!!! -1+-1 = -2 ;) I think you mean double negative equals a positive. i.e -1--1 = 0 :) I made an error but it wasnt that! I meant: negative + negative = positive my Bad Title: Positives and Negatives Post by: TerminalJunkie on August 12, 2009, 22:09:25 I meant: negative + negative = positive No, it doesn't: -x + -y = -(x+y) Adding two negatives gives you a bigger negative. I'm positive about that :P Title: Positives and Negatives Post by: Mookiemoo on August 12, 2009, 22:42:47 I meant: negative + negative = positive No, it doesn't: -x + -y = -(x+y) Adding two negatives gives you a bigger negative.

Remember to think before engaging fingers Title: Positives and Negatives Post by: JayMac on August 12, 2009, 22:59:49 minus + minus = positive !!!!!!!!!!!! -1+-1 = -2 ;) I think you mean double negative equals a positive. i.e -1--1 = 0 :) Bad example Devon. 0 is neither positive nor negative. How about; -1 minus -2 = 1. ::) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
