Section 1: Thought Question of the Week

 Gavin is wanted by the police for numerous bank robberies, but the police don't know his real name or what he looks like. Although he's broken into more than a dozen banks and stolen millions of dollars, he does not like to go outside.

 What is the main tool that Gavin uses to commit his robberies?

 Clues:  1. Gavin always works alone  2. Gavin does not use weapons.  3. It is impossible for bank tellers to identify him because they have never seen him.  4. The police don't even bother to review the images captured by the security cameras.

Name: Jordan Abend Date: 5/18/10 Type of posting: 1 Posting: Gavin uses a computer when he robs banks. He is a computer hacker. They can't see his images since he just hacks through his computer. He doesn't like to go outside so he does it alone from his home.

Name: Max Mongiello Date: 5/19/10 Type of posting: 1 Posting: I think that Gavin's weapon is his computer skills. He is able to hack in to secure bank files and commit robberies electronically.

Name: Remzi Tonuzi Date: 5/20/10 Type of Posting Posting: I think that Gavin used his invisibility powers to get away with his robberies. His invisibility didn't let anyone see him.

Name: Marissa Moschella Date: 5-18-2010 Type of posting: 1 Posting: Even thought that the police can't tell what his name is or what he looks like, I think that Gavin used a key because it is not a weapon.

 Name: Jeff Schecter  Date: 5/18/10  Type of posting: 1  Posting: The weapon he used wasn't an object it was his ability to be quiet and move without being noticed. He would travel through the vents and stay in their until they closed the bank. While he was in the vents he would look at the combinations being used to get into the safes. He didn't have to break into the building because he was already inside of it. He robbed the bank and then exited the bank with the money through the vents. The police didn't look at the cameras because they are only by the door and not any where else. that is how he robbed the bank.

He does not need weapons or to break into the bank when no one is there because he is a trusted employee who has access to all of the banks passwords. Often after receiving a job at a bank, he calls in sick for a few days because he does not like to go outside. Then he uses his home computer to access all of the accounts he already has the passwords to because he is a trusted employee.

Name: Corey Pic Date: May 18, 2010 Type of Posting: 1 Posting: I think that Gavin has always worn a black hat over his head with eyeholes and a mouth hole so that he can breathe. Anywhere that Gavin goes he wears this hat over his head and nobody can identify him. He does not uses weapons because he just walks into the bank and walk into the back and he steals the money.

Name: Anna Behnke Date: May 18, 2010 Type of Posting: 1 Posting: I think that the robber is hacking into the bank system and stealing money from there. This doesn't require him to leave his house and Gavin is a cover-up name.

Name: Jon Libock Date: 5/18/10 Type of posting: 1 Posting: Gavin can freeze time and uses his special powers as a tool to break in to banks by freezing time.

Name: Hella Talas Date: 5/18/10 Type of posting: 1 Posting: Gavin becomes an employee at each bank he robs. He changes his disguise and name frequently. Nobody has seen him because he is an employee and people don't know that he is the robber. His main tool is his disguise because he can be a completely different person at any time he wants.

Posting: Gavin has robbed these multiple banks by his computer hacking skills. Since he is good with computers, he is alone at home, hacking the banks money documents, and steals the money.

He uses numerous computer programs to finally produce his robot. He has programmed it to rob banks. At home Gavin hacks the system and disables all the alarms. Then his robot does the job and brings the money back home. It's as simple as that.

Name: Nick Rizzo Date: 5/13/10 Type of Posting: 1 Posting: Gavin is skilled at computers so he knows how to hack systems. He hacks the cameras to display an image that shows nothing but a normal room. Using his computer skills, he sets off certain alarms that distract the tellers and people away from the safe and other important documents. He is quick and sneaky, so he is in and out very quickly. No one can see him because he disabled the cameras and they are too occupied with the malfunctions he is causing in the bank that distracts them from the money.

The question is <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">//A bag contains 3 red and 5 blue marbles. What is the probability that if two marbles are selected without replacement they will both be blue?// <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;"> I know the first part of the answer would be <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;"> 5/8 <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;"> and it would be multiplying something because its probability.

Gregory Russo 5/19/10 Type 2 Hey guys i did not understand the steps to use in the problem with the area of the fence. I did not know the formula or the steps to the problem. I was wondering if anyone could help me by with the problem

===<span style="color: #ff4700; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">Hi Guys! So, I have a general question about the area question in the packet. It asked us to find the area of the garden. However, I wasn't sure if my measurements were correct. I was wondering if when they asked us to increase the measurements by a scale factor of three, if they meant to multiply each term by three. Please let me know. Thanks! ===

Gavin never gets caught because he is a super genius and he programs robots to rob the banks for him. The robots can move very fast and they are impossible to to detect.

===**<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">Hey guys? What's up? I got a question on that packet last night. For number 33, I got an answer of 228.76 when the only answers are 76, 123, 247, 496. I picked 247, but I want to know where I went wrong. I subtracted 652-50=6.02, then i multiplied 38 to 6.02 and got 228.76. Anyone know what happened? Thank you so much, Deniz Piatt Name: Drew Mann Date:5/23/10 Type of posting 1: Posting: Gavin never gets caught because he dresses in all black and wears gloves so he leaves no DNA. He sneaks in the air vents and crawls around until he's near the vault. When he gets their he lowers himself from the rook with a grabs all the money and leaves without anyone knowing he was there. **===

Gavin never gets caught for a couple reasons. First he hacks into the banks computers, and then just puts it into a secret account somewhere in China, and Second Gavin uses a proxy server so that the police and bank people can not track the IP address on his computer.

Post: Gavin uses the most valuable tool, the one that nobody would ever think of and that is his brain. Being that he does not like to be outside he hides under ground and when noone is working in the bank he enters and easily gets the money.

Name: Andy Kovner and Jared Mactas Date: 5/24/10 Type of Posting: 2 Posting: Hello everybody, how did you all do on the test? We thought it was a very fair test due to the fact that we learned all the information, however we also thought it was very hard. One of the problems we would like to point out was the last problem on session 2. Does anyone remember it, and if so do you know what you did? Speaking for us, we did not have any idea what t6o do for it and just wrote down a bunch of nonsense! If anyone knows and would like to share their thought process on the problem, please share it on here. Thank you very much, and we wish you all good luck with the rest of the day!
