You apparently also don't get how to ask for help, or have patience.
Or avoid spamming.
spark ice
I could, yes.
cerulean forge

spark ice
To ask me if I will help you.
cerulean forge

...if you're asking me whether I know how to solve your problem, the answer is yes. I'm just asking you questions to prompt you onto the correct train of thought. It's the Socratic method.
I know the correct answers to all of the questions I'm asking you.
But the point is for you to figure out the answers.

If you spent more time thinking about the problem instead of how much time you had to do the problem, you might be done by now.

Have you considered, like, seeing a therapist? It's possible you have ADHD.
cerulean forge

Like I said, the most straightforward approach is just to evaluate each statement one by one.
cerulean forge
ok
spark ice
So what's the first statement?
cerulean forge
The rate of change in this relationship is
20
spark ice
And what would our table look like if that were true?

What does "rate of change" mean?
cerulean forge
the difference
spark ice
...between...?
cerulean forge
two points
spark ice
Any two points?
spark ice
I was serious before about the possibility of ADHD. If you find it this difficult to focus on the problem for literally three minutes, it's probably severe enough to require medication.
I mean, I'm not a doctor, which is why I recommend seeing a doctor, but that's what it looks like to me.
cerulean forge
i dont have time
i have other shit to do
look if it's anyone your the one who needs help
lets do a test
spell the word "me"
spark ice
...how is this a meaningful test of anything at all?
cerulean forge
exactly
spark ice
..."exactly" what?
cerulean forge
spell "me"
spark ice
Why?
cerulean forge

spark ice
I may tell you an answer, but it may or may not be correct.
cerulean forge
I may tell you *an* answer, but it may or may not be correct.

Do you mean tell you the answer I said I would tell you which may or may not be correct?
cerulean forge
YES
spark ice
Okay. Only the sixth statement is true.
spark ice
There's no need to be rude. I tried to help you the best I could. You're the one who couldn't focus for literally three minutes.
cerulean forge

There's no need to be rude. I tried to help you the best I could. You're the one...
