Answer 29

I don't understand why you're being so evasive. Yesterday you were asking a ton of questions on a variety of topics -- Python programs you'd copied off the web but didn't understand, C programs, math questions, Pascal's Wager questions. When I ask what kind of student you are, or what you're studying, you always give me bizarre, evasive, and inconsistent answers. Are you running a business answering people's homework questions or something?

Answer 30

Actually, I've wondered about this as well. Are you a student right now, i.e., enrolled somewhere?

Answer 31

I'm not currently enrolled at a university.

Answer 32

are you enrolled at a high school? And you live in India, is that right?

Answer 33

I've actually graduated from high school.

Answer 34

Wish I could get into a university... :-D

Answer 35

Whose homework questions are you asking about when you come on here?

Answer 36

my homework :-D

Answer 37

how do you have homework if you are not a student?

Answer 38

I work off free materials.

Answer 39

Are you being intentionally evasive? Do you honestly not understand my questions?

Answer 40

Where are you planning on taking a calculus exam?

Answer 41

at a local uni

Answer 42

Which one?

Answer 43

one of the cheaper ones :-D not as expensive as marquette

Answer 44

What is the name of the university?

Answer 45

it's a really generic name.

Answer 46

What the hell is your problem?

Answer 47

I couldn't get into uni this year :(

Answer 48

What is the name of the university?

Answer 49

Are you just a pathological liar or something?

Answer 50

To be honest if you acted anything like this when trying to enroll, it's obvious why you were rejected. I can't imagine ever wanting to hire someone, or work with someone, who answers questions this way.

Answer 51

:(
