…Word Problem… Find the treasure…?

Ahmed has the first half of a treasure map, which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert (2x + 6) paces from Castle Rock.

Vanessa has the other half of the map. Her half indicates that to find the treasure, one must go to the Castle Rock, walk ‘x’ paces to the North, and then walk (2x + 4) paces to the East.

If they share their information, then they can find ‘x’ and save a lot of digging.

What is ‘x’?

Can anybody identify this old rock found in tennesee?

This rock or object was found 60+ years ago in a field in Tennesee. It has a black outer coating and what looks like a silvery flakey inside that seems to radiate from the center of the object. There is a small round speck in the middle that looks like a small piece of rust. When I received this object we measured it and it was surprizingly very round and only differed by a few hundreds of an inch on all sides. It had a crack in it and I was told that the gentleman that found it tried to break it open by prying in the crack. So I assumed this object was very hard because it was still in one piece. Wrong ! After showing this to some friends at work we noticed it was begining to crack more, so I decided to break it open. Wow we have no clue what this is. Its like fibers all facing to the center of it. Oh yeah we also tested it under a very powerful metal detector and it did not detect it. Also under a very powerful magnet hanging from thread it did not desturb it at all.

is it weird to listen to break up/sad songs even if you havent broken up with someone?

i admit i love all music, pop, rock, r and b, some country, and even breakup songs. i’m a guy if this has anything to do with it: i even remember on a radio station where i live, this guy said “if youre a guy, you can listen to a song a million times and not get what it means.” i think thats kinda true. i mean i have a friend who’s a girl who treasures lyrics of certain songs. i’m not really the kinda person that takes lyrics literally. if i love the catchyness or beat, i like the song. like i said, i love almost all songs. i mean i like kelly clarkson’s “since you’ve been gone,” “behind these hazel eyes,” “because of you,” boyz II men “end of the road,” in my itunes library to name a few of these kind of songs. i like the songs simply because i love the song, it sounds good. i am not trying to get over a lost relationship or something. this is not the only music i listen to, but i listen to it. is this weird?

Will Guillermo Rigondeaux live up too the Cuban Amautur Hype ?

If you haven’t heard about Guillermo Rigondeaux you might be living under a rock. However hes supposedly the best Cuban Amateur to ever turn professional. For years the best best Cuban Amateur’s have opted too not turn professional because of political reasons. This has caused a lot of speculation as too exactly how well these fighters would have done as professionals. If anybody remembers Knight Dela Barra you know what I’m talking about.

Cuba has had a rich History of Great Amateur Boxers guys like Felix Savon,Mario Kindelán,Teófilo Stevenson are among the few Olympic Boxers too win two Gold Medals in separate Olympics. So there has been plenty of debate about how these guys would fare as professionals.

Me personally I think Savon and Stevenson fought during a time when the Amateur system wasn’t completely different than the Pro System. After 1988 the Olympic Officials changed the way bouts are scored and implemented a point system that’s caused a lot of controversy. I think Guys making the Jump from the Amateur system now are in for a rude awakening because the Pro Game in comparison too the Amateur game is totally different opposed too 1970 when it wasn’t. But for some reason I’m excited about this kid even more than Demetrius Andrade and Deontay Wilder some of our American Pro Prospects. Rigondeaux is said too be the Cream of the Crop and its time too see exactly how good he really is.
@ Aragon thanks for Not Answering My question. You went M.I.A. last Saturday when Eddie Chambers completely embarrassed Alexander Dimitrenko. Funny you had a lot to say about Chambers before the fight…..not so much after Dude your Joke.
@ Aragon Your so quick too call me and Sean G racist and biased but exactly what are you. I think before you start pointing the finger at us you take a look at yourself you exactly like Knight Dela Barra accusing everyone else of racism when you should be looking at yourself. A lest Knight cleaned up his act before he left.
