O sorry. I didn't read the rules, i was just browsing t'other threads.

What does LBGTQ stand for?

And EXETER CITY


LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (or queer).

Can we now to move on to a question that will not turn this thread in to a slanging match?

Which shape can (mathematically) be constructed such that the infinitely thin walls of the shape result in the surface area being greater than the volume. You could pour an infinite amount of paint in to this shape, but there would not be enough paint in the shape to paint the outside of it?

EXETER has a loop in it and...
I'm not sure i even understand your question, so i'll paste it over the page and let the Brainiacs sort this one out.

Sorry, my Exeter post was intended to be abandoned. It, in error, was left in when I replied to @Pat ex 's question.

Nevertheless... you can use calculus to work out the volume and surface area of objects/shapes. This is the only example that I am (personally) aware of where the outer surface area is greater than the volume.

Hint: look at exponential curves.

Fair enough, no one wants to guess. Apologies if the phrasing of the question wasn't clear.

The answer is a cone, not just any cone but a very special one known as Gabriel's Horn. Also known as the painter's paradox. The volume is finite, but the exterior surface area is infinite- meaning that you could fill it with paint but it wouldn't hold enough paint to paint the outside.

The shape is generated by rotating the curve of 1/x around the x axis, using 1 and positive infinity as the limits.

Ok... a football question-

Which European football team, that has played in an European tournament, has the longest consecutive run of playing in European tournaments and not losing losing a home game?

 

[Odds]

I think Man United didn't lose a home game between 1956 and 1995 (i think) but that wasn't consecutively; so i'll state the obvious and say Real Madrid.
It's not going to be that obvious, is it?

Steaua Bucharest

Sorry, all wrong.

Another clue: Their first European game was in 1962. They are yet to taste defeat on home turf. A run that stretches 31 games, which is the longest active streak by any club.

 

[Odds]

Sixty years and only 31 home games, so they're not in European competition that often, and i assume it's all European competitions, so maybe... Rosenborg?

Yup, well done.

It is indeed Ipswich Town.
