/sci/ - Science & Math

If you love studying math, specifically understanding the language and concepts of math, but you don't like actually doing it

...Are you a patrician or a brainlet?

>Technology class in middle school
>Designing CO2 canister race cars out of blocks of balsa wood

>I make a design in our aerodynamics simulation program with my smart math bros
>Make sure the drag is absolutely minimized and the car also looks cool
>Spend days just on the design since the software is clunky
>Meanwhile, the jocks are goofing around talking to girls all day procrastinating
>"Haha, I'm going to beat all of their dumb asses"

>Finally get my design finished and the numbers are all great, I've looked at other people's designs and they aren't as good as mine and my bros
>Sculpt my race car painstakingly and make sure it's perfectly symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing, shaped just like pic related

>Jocks are rushing at the end and putting in no effort, laughing with each other and drinking water out of their milk jugs to get hydrated for the "big game"
>They just make these generic triangular blocks with paint on them, red and black and flames and stuff

>It's time to race
>I volunteer first to show off
>I get a great time and I'm in second place by a small margin, me and dude celebrating

>Jocks come up, laughing at each other that everyone else tried
>Their attach their heavy non-aerodynamic blocks to the track

>Somehow they beat all of our numbers by a large margin despite putting in 0 effort and having a design that was not aerodynamic at all according to the simulations, it's the "default" shit tier design
>Teacher gives them a little prize and names them the winner, all smiling and saying "nice job wow you must have worked a lot on those"
>They walk out so proud flirting with the girls they're going to bang after the "big game" slapping their asses

There ride never ends
