Who are you lecturing as "Mr. BB", you monkey face? How do know what the questioner meant?
I’m lecturing Mr. BB(4) --the Bullshit Bug, a genetic variant of the dung beetle that, instead of rolling dung into a ball, it spreads it allover the forum. This is an accurate description of what you usually do.
How do know what the questioner meant?
I’m a genetically enhanced chimp with advanced mind-reading skills.
I read factors to mean "prime factors" and, accordingly, provided the answer.
Well, along with needing improvement in your reading skills, you need improvement in your math skills: your prime factor answer is wrong.
If you disagree, then all you do is provide the questioner with your interpretation and give YOUR answer accordingly. let him/her choose between the two.
Math by consensus. Let’s see how that might work: 1+1=2 if and only if the majority agree. Well, it works for this question most of the time. You should abstain from the voting though. You also should abstain from posting math solutions. You should write that on a sticky-note.
Don't pontificate on anything or everything, because nobody gives a rat's behind of what you think. Go climb a tree!!.
That’s not true. Many care what about what I write and, by extension, what I think. Melody welcomed me back after a brief absence. I’m sure others care too. As for general readers, I’ve pointed out the view counts before. In this case, with a measly 14 views, the count will move to 29 or more --that is at least 15 more unique views by this time tomorrow. I’m sure this irritates you, but many like to read comments from a genetically enhanced chimp, and not very many care to read comments from a mutant dung beetle, commonly known as a bullshit bug.
Now, I will go climb a tree because I have a nice tree house there.
