That puppy was only 12 weeks old, and was already pretty strong. Another month or two, and that leash is going to be as effective as dental floss, methinks.
Seriously, you could tow a semi with a rope that dimension. I don't think he will ever get that big and if he does the city should be evacuated.

Once in a kingdom far, far away, a beautiful girl was born to a king & queen. The castle in which she was born was a structure to behold. The diagonals of the side walls divide each other into segments with lengths that are pairwise equal; in terms of the picture below, AE = DE, BE = CE (and AECE if one wishes to exclude rectangles). Opposite angles are supplementary, which in turn implies that isosceles trapezoids are cyclic quadrilaterals, at least according to the fairy godmother who helped construct the magical castle.
But a jealous witch wanted to destroy the kingdom, and she knew too well that the castle would only fall if the ratio in which each diagonal is divided is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the parallel sides that they intersect, that is,

The length of each diagonal is, according to Ptolemy's theorem, given by

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides AD and BC, and c is the length of each leg AB and CD.

But luckily the witch miscalculated her assault, and the young princess & her kingdom lived happily ever after.

You wasted more than just a simple 30 seconds. The prime factors of those 30 seconds are 2, 3, and 5 seconds. The prime factor decomposition of 30 seconds is 2 seconds × 3 seconds × 5 seconds. Therefore, 30 seconds is also known as a “sphenic number” of seconds, as it can be written as a product of three distinct prime factors. Just wanted to breakdown what exactly it was that you wasted.

I don't get American math.

Show off! And yet another 15 seconds that is not coming back. ;) Could it also be 1 second x 10 seconds x 3 seconds? That would make it a Schizosphenic number!

Are you by chance a math teacher?

So unless plane tickets get cheaper, or someone here wants to pay for 3 plane tickets, I am gonna have to road trip to WDW next April with a 3 year old. :mad::banghead::bawling::cry:

Airfare is obscenely expensive right now. While checking prices I was all excited to see the flight I was watching dropped in price. So I went to book and realized I had searched for one person, not 4. When I switched the search to 4 it went back up. So I searched for one again on 4 separate devices and then systematically went through and purchased each of the 4 tickets.
