I need to quit looking for what I think it should be much sooner
Yeah, I’m stuck in that box right now...

I'm sure that some people, who haven't thought about trig functions in many decades, found this one harder.

But if you had missed this one, you'd have had to find a new career as you could not possibly have shown your face in your classroom ever again. :D

Where do you want to put it?
For the Acapulco Lounge, go to that board:
forums/viewforum.php?f=13
and then the "New Topic" button is near the top right under the name of the board.
Same thing with any other board - just go to the level you want your new one under.

(Looks like there are some places this isn't available. Regular posters can't create new top level boards for instance, they have to go under something that's already there.)
