Oh yeah, so here’s that other post I wrote last week that I couldn’t remember what was, that I never actually published, and that was magically still present in my drafts.
I have now learned that, assuming I ever go to a three hour party during which I drink at a steady rate of one 12 oz. bottle of beer every 30 minutes, I will be seriously imparied after 0.739 hour and I will be legally intoxicated after 1.24 hour. It will then be 6.6 hours after the start of the party before I will legally be able to drive and 8.94 hours before I will no longer be seriously impaired. Finally, my maximum blood alcohol content will be 0.164 g alchohol per 100 mL blood. So now you know what I have learned in my mathematical models class. Now imagine you are a lowly freshman in an introductory Calculus class who has come Math Resource Center to dive into homework, and you hear the upperclassmen in the room deriving such a model. I don’t know about you, but this strikes me as a funny image. The end.
