Two went down.
And so,
My life is now less burdened by one more paper. Just couldn't wipe that sheepish grin off my custard-loving face.(think of George in Desperate Housewives, exactly that sheepish grin.)
There was 30 questions, short answer questions. With only a few requiring me to state the variables involved and hence, the entire expression itself. Thinking that these are zero complexity questions, I went on scribbling answers for the remaining 'tougher' questions first. I was then left with 20 minutes to answer just 4 damn questions. 4 damn short answer questions that required no calculations, just variables and exact expression of the formula.
Until, what flooded my mind was only the telescope model. Well, you see, I've been dying to purchase an entry-level telescope for my own celestial viewing addiction. Since there will be Perseid meteors and Mars will be getting pretty close to Earth in the month of August(NOT at 50K miles you morons.),so perhaps, getting an entry level telescope is suffice to accomodate my amateuristic crave for these celestial bodies.
Hence, we went for serious surfing online. Initially, we found a pretty value buy telescope on a local online auction site. Seriously it was darn cheap. At RM225, I would have snap it up by pawning my cellphone. As paranoid as anyone could be about online scams, I could only bite my lips and bailed myself from any scams. More surfings went on and we came across this local company that seemed like a specialist in satisfying the needs of stargazers.
Voila! And I found her! Hehehehe..
Model : R60700ES
SPECIFICATIONS:
Obj Lens : 60mm Achromatic Objective Lens
Aperture : 60mm (2.2")
Focal Ratio : 11.6
Focal Length: 700mm
Mount : Single Arm Altazimuth Mount
Tripod : Aluminium Adjustable Tripod with accessory tray
Finder : 5x24mm Finderscope
Accessories : K25/H12, 3x Barlow Lens, Star Diagonal, Dust Cap & Operating Manual
Price : RM599 (NOW LESS 10%)
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
An economical and easy-to-operate beginning telescope, ideal for lunar and planetary objects viewing. Be an astronomer at very young age! FREE SHIPPING TO PENINSULAR but RM25 for shipping to Sarawak & RM35 to Sabah. Promotion Price RM539.
Extra bonus: 1x 2X Barlow Lens, 1 x Map compass, 1 x 9x50 Freefocus binocular
Anyway, in line with my outburst obsession over telescopes, as well as my compulsive regurgitation of the specifications, model number and price, these things actually did overwrite the formulas I memorized earlier. Everytime I tried to spell out that formula, my brain could only produce this search result - R60700ES.
What the hell! I needed the formula for full recombination of EHP and it was definitely not R60700ES. Anyway, it was over. The questions' weightage wasn't that significant anyway. Philanthropists, cheerful givers, donors, sponsors, people who wants to help people to achieve dreams, do help me. You could find a better deal for me, you could donate your old telescope to me, or you could just give money..to instill interest and support space exploration in Third World countries. Lol.
