<p>600 square root = integer?</p>

<p>@any
omg…CHAGRIN. brb crying</p>

<p>@ivyandlemonade well your number is divisible by both 24 and 10. butttt, when square rooted, it doesn’t come out with an integer number.</p>

<p>3600 is divisible by both 24 and 10, and is 60 squared. (which means it’s an integer number when square rooted)</p>

<p>I multiplied 24 by (multiples of 5… so 5, 10, 15…etc) and square rooted them all. if it came out with a decimal number, it doesn’t work…i went up all the way to 24 x 150. time consuming, i know x) but i had time left!</p>

<p>not regret was the one with “she earned it”</p>

<p>i think it was “without regret”</p>

<p>On the master list, where is 17 coming from?</p>

<p>wait wat was ameliorate for? i forgot the sentence… anyone remember?</p>

<p>the one like their music drew children dancing and so… then the dean came… was asking what does draw mean here… if remembered right… I put attracted… and I do have no regreat as the answer</p>

<p>and the attracted one … I think it was something about “drawn” not sure</p>

<p>and wasn’t one of the answers cautiously argumentative? i felt like it wasn’t personal and reflective since he was arguing about how art is this way. it was only personal in the first paragraph but he used that personal experience to argue about art.</p>

<p>the dean is a killjoy
edify…reticence</p>

<p>i thought it was more of a personal experience that led to a revelation about art</p>

<p>And I think the weariness or wariness is the one where it’s asking for the opinion of one author of some sentence of the othe passage</p>

<p>i put “argumentative” as well but it could be wrong</p>

<p>An the lawyer one isn’t on the list either</p>

<p>And also the one with human complexity?</p>

<p>pretty sure the art = life one was PERSONAL AND REFLECTIVE and also explained THE PLACE OF ART IN LIFE.</p>

<p>art = life:
humans have hindsight - situation most similar: A LAWYER USING A PREVIOUS CASE TO HELP WITH HIS CURRENT CASE.</p>

<p>& that line is most similar to a description of an ARCHAEOLOGIST</p>
