800th Post: A Reflection on Increments*
Some jobs offer increments. This one offered--well, quite the reverse, but at least it was in the warm and fairly easy to get the hang of. After a while he got into the rhythm of it, and started playing the private little quantity-surveying game that everyone plays in these circumstances. Let's see, he thought, I've done nearly a quarter, let's call it a third, so when I've done that corner by the hayrack it'll be more than half, call it five-eighths, which means three more wheelbarrow loads. ...It doesn't prove anything very much except that the awesome splendor of the universe is much easier to deal with if you think of it as a series of small chunks.
Terry Pratchett, Mort
*Here, Mort Sto Helit demonstrates the same incremental psychology in his stable work which all tumblr users have refined. When I first started this blog I thought I'd see if I could share 1,000 Pratchett quotes. Let's see, another two hundred posts will be a thousand posts. That's two hundred days, call it six months, which is only half of a year....

Okay so... Uh shit-
If Yujiro was like shit.. 16 years old when the incident happened and he was around 20 when Baki was yeeted out into the world, taking into the account of the gestation of a child, that would mean Baki and Jack are 4-5 years apart in age.
If Baki's currently 18 (Anime) then tht would make Jack around 22-23 years old.

Mental Math Sucks
Before we get into this, I’d like to clarify that I can do math fairly well. Give me a paper and freedom to solve it however I wish, and I perform at above average skill.
But I need the paper. If I don’t have the paper, the numbers don’t stay still in my head unless I expend time and energy to envision them in detail, which leads to a lot of situations like this:
The person gives me a problem, say 2657/6, and I don’t have access to paper, so I write it out in my head and talk a little to solidify it.
Tumblr media
Then the person gets impatient and decides to butt in “helpfully.”
Tumblr media
This ruins my mental layout of the problem, and they usually move onto asking me the next step while I’m still processing the new number and trying to fix the rest of them. Guess what happens during the next steps? New numbers are added, and I have to figure out where they came from and where they go.
Tumblr media
And as if they’re a genius that can calculate stuff instantly in their heads while simultaneously having a conversation, they wonder why I haven’t finished the problem yet.
Tumblr media
So I don’t understand why anyone would expect a person to do math involving more than 2 or 3 digits in their head. Who keeps their imaginary numbers that organized? What the heck is wrong with using paper? It’s so much easier to make mistakes in your head, so why use mental math at all after basic addition and times tables?

Embarking on the journey to prepare for the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) in India can be a daunting task, but with strategic planning and dedication, success is within reach. Here's a comprehensive guide to help students navigate the SAT preparation process and maximize their chances of achieving stellar results.
Understand the SAT Format:
Begin by familiarizing yourself with the SAT format, which includes three main sections - Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, Math, and an optional Essay. Understanding the structure of the test will allow you to tailor your preparation strategy accordingly.
Create a Study Schedule:
Develop a realistic and well-organized study schedule. Allocate dedicated time each day to cover different sections, ensuring a balanced focus on all aspects of the exam. Consistency is key, so stick to your schedule diligently.
Utilize Quality Study Materials:
Invest in reputable SAT study guides and practice materials. Online platforms and coaching centers in India offer a wealth of resources, including sample tests, interactive exercises, and video tutorials. Choose materials that align with your learning style.
Practice Regularly with Mock Tests:
Practice makes perfect. Take full-length practice tests under simulated exam conditions to enhance your time management and gauge your progress. Analyze your performance to identify weak areas and concentrate on improving those specific skills.
Seek Expert Guidance:
Enlist the support of experienced SAT tutors or join coaching classes that offer specialized guidance. Trained professionals can provide valuable insights, personalized feedback, and targeted strategies to tackle challenging sections.
Master Test-Taking Strategies:
Learn effective test-taking strategies for each section. Time management, question prioritization, and elimination techniques can significantly improve your efficiency during the exam.
Review and Revise:
Regularly review your notes, revisit challenging concepts, and revise problem areas. Continuous reinforcement of knowledge is crucial for long-term retention.
Stay Healthy and Manage Stress:
Ensure a healthy lifestyle during your preparation period. A well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep contribute to improved cognitive function and stress management.
Preparing for the SAT in India requires a combination of dedication, strategic planning, and access to quality resources. By following these guidelines, aspiring students can approach the SAT with confidence, armed with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel on test day.
