Add up the marginal values per dollar, swing back and forth on the chart and when potatoes are lower than the corresponding clams would be, select clams. In this case it's 2 clams, and 6 potatoes.

Prove or give a counter-example of the following statement:
In three space dimensions and time, given an initial velocity field, there exists a vector velocity and a scalar pressure field, which are both smooth and globally defined, that solve the Navier–Stokes equations.

single spaced... your profs don't care to comment on your work in more depth, then?

and hang on, what sorta retarded college asks for essays in page-length? word length makes far more sense

Most professors require a standard font, margin sizes etc so the number of words per page ends up being around 800 per page. Because of this, there is no difference between asking for a word count or asking for a certain number of pages.

Never heard page length tbh.

... well there is because a page-length doesn't account for any formatting (in the case of a long piece of work: breaks, sub-titles, sections, appendices etc.) nor does it account for the length and space consumption of footnotes and referencing (something exempted from word-counts). also academic essays need a bibliography and full referencing style which consumes ~1 page minimum in itself. asking for a piece of work by page-length is pretty dumb. for a start, if you have some try-too-hard-to-please undergraduates putting out some verbiose and erudite wankery, the long running sentences of even longer words will take up way more space than someone writing simply and in a terse manner. you can fill up page-space in many more ways to artificially inflate your work than you can if you just write to a word count specification. you don't even need to mention font sizes and margins and retarded high-school level shit like that because every single academic essay must conform to a general stylesheet, anyway. it's a patronising waste of time to be fussing over your font sizes when you're having contact time with a professor.

online plagiarism checks word-counts, yes. writing to page-length mystifies me. anyway...

herp derp 2 of my friends that graduated in my class with the same class degree as me now have hr/recruitment jobs in the city for £24/30k a year starting salary, aged 21/22. i suppose that's not being paid to you though, right, because they're not chartered and don't mess around with tools in their spare time like REAL EDUCATED AND REAL SMARTS AND SUCCESSFUL people do.

At school we had to write 'observations', a page of tosh about something like tying a shoelace. I think I achieved the pinnacle by using a whole line for 'a' - the english teacher gave up on me after that.

Its one reason I became an engineer (the other being that I like being paid).

In a tech writing class I took I once had to describe how a stapler functioned. Two pages, double spaced. Harder than it sounds, and probably the most tedious thing I've ever done.
