<p>Seriously, I don’t get it at all. </p>
<p>Is it supposed to be a joke?</p>
<p>Of course not! I don’t understand how you think it’s a joke, since it’s obviously highlighting for you the proper way of finding x.</p>
<p>Can I be absolutely hilarious with it?</p>
<p>ex: Inter-dimensional travel, etc.</p>
<p>no - just find x</p>
<p>…the ****?</p>
<p>Does it need to be a number ???</p>
<p>just find x dude</p>
<p>but must X that I have to find be a number or anything else?</p>
<p>It’s up to your interpretation.</p>
<p>omg, i don’t know how to find x. i am always asked to find y for a given range of x. what kind of riddle is this? :p</p>
<p>It’s not really a riddle, it’s more of a straight forward essay prompt… But you can always choose another prompt… luckily it’s one of the optional ones.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m a little late.</p>
<p>I did choose another prompt. :p</p>
<p>If you need to ask, “Can I be hilarious with it?” then you clearly don’t know enough about UChicago.</p>
<p>You can <em>always</em> be hilarious with it.</p>
<p>but IM NOT FUNNY!!</p>
<p>I went all deep-thinker with it. I think it was pretty good! But we’ll have to wait until March/April to find out if they liked it… :)</p>
<p>If you don’t get it, don’t do it.</p>
