Answer 8

NeonStras your diction is very paradoxical my friendXD

Answer 9

Yes but you(@Robert136) don't think past what you see.

Answer 10

@Robert136
I don't know how to respond.

Answer 11

It's the problem with the multiple questions. What other way than to tell them the predefined answer?

Answer 12

So if you think we can't give direct answers multiple choices should be banned from this place.

Answer 13

When they ask you what's the wavelength with a set of predefined answers to choose from, we are only left to pick the distance between the crests of two waves and we can't say rollercoaster cake

Answer 14

@Robert136
I see what you're saying, but you're invalid. You help others to their answer, and they can help you. That's the connotation of Open Study.

Answer 15

I'm not sure what you're trying to say or want to say.

Answer 16

I agree @NeonStrawsForever Yes multiple choice seems a bit tricky but not so much if you try to look deeper

Answer 17

Searian's diction is very paradoxical as he claimed "not it's c" that's giving the direct answer bro.

Answer 18

And that's the reason why I say "direct answers aren't allowed".

Answer 19

However you said C is correctXD You are funny my friendXD

Answer 20

I simply didn't want the Open Study member to take an direct answer that's incorrect. SO I agreed.

Answer 21

*So

Answer 22

Otherwise, he or we would have been debating who is correct.

Answer 23

And what gives you the authority to tell others what to do my friend?

Answer 24

Wait are you saying I was incorrect @NeonStrawsForever

Answer 25

Look my friend you are just one of those hypocrites.

Answer 26

I never said that. I ask nicely and you became angry. Please don't hate me.

Answer 27

But your answer was wrong.

Answer 28

And You call me an invalid.

Answer 29

@Searian
You're correct.

Answer 30

Answer 31

@Searian
I'm trying to befriend him, but I'm not sure he wants to be my friend.

Answer 32
