Let's Play A Game

So, you think you'd make a good freshman guy at MIT? While MIT always argues about "The Match" and how you need to be right for MIT, I've come up with a simple test.

I will attempt to initiate a conversation with you in the same manner that I would attempt to initiate a conversation with a freshman guy here at MIT. If you respond correctly then you know that you'll fit in.

Please respond in the comments, I'll post the results shortly.

Ready? Here we go.

[I approach you as I walk down the street. I come up to you and speak the following:]

"Math."

What do you respond with?

    As of today, I'd comment with "Yeah, I know-only six more days until pi day!"

    After pi day, I'd probably say, "Depends- 18.01 looks interesting, but I'd like some hardcore chaos theory".

    If Your Answer Is Now Gone It Is Because It Was Right.

    Oddly enough, Star (a girl) would make a great guy at MIT?

  24. Right, if you said "math" to me, I'd probably say something like,

    "I hate you and everything, but more than that, I hate differential equations."
