Commercial Break

On sunday and monday, I watched Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the ring. Two hours of the movie were shown each day. During most of the commercial breaks, I went to my computer and talked to people on aim. When I arrived at my computer, my idle time was always 12-13 minutes. The commercial breaks lasted 4 minutes. See what i am getting at? The commercial breaks were in a ratio of 1:3 with the movie. For a four hour movie, that is 1.3333… hours of commercial break!!! Oddly enough, that number is also where the infinite sum of (1/4)^x converges, which is basically the answer to the problem of the week this week. Think about all those commercial breaks… Had I stayed and watched all of them, that would have been 160 30-second commercial Breaks. That is a lot of commercial.

Math league was yesterday… TSA was yesterday… Both of them were at 1400. I had to blow off TSA this week to go be a math geek *gasp*. It was go0d though, they were some pretty good problems. Fun problems.
