My maths homework. Incidentally, if someone knows how the fuck I could cut 4 equal squares out of the corners of a sheet of metal, fold up the sides, and get a box, then a little help would be great.
Um... actually nothing. I guess I could be revising, but I only got home from university on Saturday, so that can wait. I don't start lectures again until mid-way through January.
In terms of leisure, though, I want to replay Deus Ex: HR, complete Ocarina of Time on my 3DS, and I have a couple of stories I've been working on I should really finish off, so... yeah. Procrastination FTW!

How do you mean? The size of the squares, or just simply how to make the box?necromanzer52 said:
I should be writing a screenplay, rewriting an essay outline and trimming a biography. Instead, I'm vegetating.
After you cut out the squares can they be re-used or are they discarded?necromanzer52 said:
If you're just using the leftover metal then I don't think it's possible (assuming it's the expected rectangle shaped sheet)
edit: actually i think it is pretty easy. cut 4 large squares out of the corners of the sheet, fold so the length from the base of the box to the first fold along the long side is equal to the length from the base to the edge of the box the other way. Repeat. This leave a small amount of overlap though so Not sure if it's correct. Will also be a cuboid.
edit2: Just tried that with the scale you gave me and I can't figure it out. Sorry, I'm stopping this attempt before I kill myself
They're discarded. Also the sheet of metal is 21 x 56. I'm supposed to find the largest possible volume of the box. But this is impossible unless the sheet of metal is a perfect square.Kinarth said:
Right now I should be in the midst of sleep from which I should have gone to bed about... let's see. 1, 2... 9 hours ago. It's 8 in the morning.
Gotta love terrible sleep schedules. I'm fucking hopeless with my sleep. I'm very much a nocturnal person.
I could also be working on the two essays and other two 5 page works that need to be getting done, but hell. Why the fuck would I do something to benefit myself in the long run?
