You could save yourself $10 by figuring it out.

Just sayin'.

What's the point of paying for an education, then claiming that you earned it with that piece of paper, if you've got to have other people do the work for you? Either you learned the material or you didn't. If you didn't, you get docked some points. Oh well. You can't get 100 on everything.

How many problems is OT going to answer for you?

Way to provide a totally useless answer.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, but this isn't the first time.

How about asking HOW to do the problem instead of asking someone to do it for you?

i searched all night last night on google and came up with nothing. i got results for base 20 as a mayan numeral system and i am learning babylonian which is base 60, hence the conversion that is needed.

if i can figure out how to make the multiple of 20 multiplication table i can use an online converter to switch to base 60, but how do i make the table?

im sorry to say this, and although i see your moral point of view, college is all about cheating now days. it is seriously a joke and as they say, it not what you know but who you know. and anyway when am i ever gonna use babylonian math other than this history math class .

I'm calling BS on that. College is all about cheating if you're the one doing it. Don't cheat, and you'll be fine.

It is true that it is not what you know, but who you know. Yeah - that will get you the job. Failing to perform because you never learned anything is how you LOSE a job. And yes, as an HR professional, I can tell you that I frown upon a resume with a new job every year.

Strap a set on and learn the shit. If you can't learn it, get out, college isn't the place for you.

ETA: And to continue the TOUGH LOVE aspect, there are TONS of highly successful professionals with no college degree. So no, not being able to make it in college is no character flaw. But it can make it more challenging in the working world these days.

fortunately, this tends to come around and bite them is the ass. We've had countless of people start at my job, fresh out of college and they dont know crap cause half the time, they cheated or copied from someone else. Most don't make it past the 3 month period

Looking at your problem, my would be that your table will probably look like either Example 1 or 2:

Example 1:
X 20 40 60 80 100
20 400 800 1200 1600 2000
40 800 1600 2400 3200 4000
60 1200 2400 3600 4800 6000
80 1600 3200 4800 5600 8000
100 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000


Example 2:
X 0 1 2 3 4
20 0 20 40 60 80
40 0 40 80 120 160
60 0 60 120 180 240
80 0 80 160 240 320
100 0 100 200 300 400


My guess would be that you'd convert these tables to base 60 and look for a pattern.
