<p>How I verify all my answers: ;)</p>

<p>Results 1 - 10 of about 131,000 for “long since lost”. (0.16 seconds)</p>

<p>im completely sold on nonchalant. ive never felt stronger conviction in my life. no, that would be sad. the point still stands though.</p>

<p>highopes, i remember thinking that in context, it didnt work. its certainly a phrase, but i thought it was used incorrectly…which as you remember is a favorite trick of CB…</p>

<p>what’s the answer to the isosceles one then</p>

<p>ahh…those posts keep going in the wrong place: </p>

<p>what was the answer to the isosceles question?</p>

<p>yeah I have been trying to convince myself otherwise but from I’ve noticed about writing identify error is that you should never pick something just because it sounds awkward it will be wrong 90% of time. My only comfort is that perhaps they might realize that the phrase “long since lost” is used properly, sounds like a dangling modifier.</p>

<p>Nonchalant…reassured is definitely right because at the end of the first paragraph she said she was reassured quite explicitly.</p>

<p>

But notice how they all occur in the middle of the sentence :slight_smile: The only time it is at the end is by a girl who typed it in Yahoo answers.</p>

<p>what’s the answer to the isosceles question…come-on…someone must know it…</p>

<p>The answer to the isosceles triangle was 55.</p>

<p>I’ve seen “long since forgotten” on a blue book test, at the end of a sentence…it looks awkward but CB considers it right.</p>

<p>^that’s correct</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question that had 5 in the thousands place and 2 and the tens place? One of the digits had to be at least 6.</p>

<p>^ Fourteen</p>

<p>14 for the 4-digit number.</p>

<p>Oh, I had that too :(.</p>

<p>Why :(? You’re right, aren’t ya?</p>

<p>No, I changed it to 16 :(.</p>

<p>The possible values for the hundreds place was 1-9 and then 6-8 for the ones place right? How did you go about doing it?</p>
