Ten Questions Follow-Up

I thought I'd follow up on the "Ten Questions" I posted yesterday. What I do afterward is compile a list of the responses and show it in class. For nearly all of the questions, there are 'standard' answers (standard in the sense that several people gave the same response) -- and then there's always one or more responses that are unique and startling. I've enjoyed reading your responses, and though you might be interested in what my students said.

( Here's what I got from this semester's crop -- which really doesn't vary significantly from every other semester's as far as the 'standard' response... EDITED TO ADD: Don't click here unless you really want to know the 'standard' answers... )
