Well, I just thought i would let everyone know that i won the factoring bee at UVU. I got first place along with a cash prize. It was pretty cool. I wasn't even intending to win, just doing it for the extra credit in math. The problem i won on was as follows:
(27x^3-1)
and since i remembered the following formula, (a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)(a^2 – ab + b^2), I was able to solve the problem. It was cool. I am glad too, because I think this is just about the first anything that i have ever won (aside from various awards and stuff in school, church and what not). To be more specific, the first competition I've gotten first in.
Anyways...

Ok you do not know me but I saw your youtube video and you talked about your blog and I was like, I HAVE TO SEE THAT! So I looked. Emma is way cute and I love the name. Anyway about the math!
Man you are good. Math is my worst subject. You said you were not even trying to win but you tried anyway. I think that shows us that all we have to do is try. That is way cool!
