This is a given.

If the last digit is divisible by 2 (a.k.a. even), then so is the whole number.

If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then so is the whole number. The recursivity of this means that if the sum has multiple digits, you can add them up again until you get a single digit and see if it's 3, 6, or 9.

Like the rule for 2, but check if the last two digits are divisible by 4.

If it ends in 5 or 0.

If the rules for both 2 and 3 apply.

No shortcut. Alas.

Like the rules for 2 and 4, but check if the last three digits are divisible by 8. (Yes, this pattern keeps going for 16, 32, etc.)

Like the rule for 3, but the sum of the digits (or the sum of the sum of the digits, etc.) must be 9.

Plus some more^^

Dont mind these chests full of silver I left them here for no particular reason and I will not miss them if they disappear

by Heaven you are right! i was so caught up in the euphoria of punishing horse thieves i forgot that bribery is also a crime!

guards, you know the drill! we even have an extra horse 🐴 to use!

Well, I found her experiment with the brown and blue eyes hilarious, I won't lie. People having entire meltdowns because they felt discriminated against, when it was like... If y'all can't take a lil temporary class experiment, where you leave here and get to live perfectly fine lives outside of school, imagine living through this EVERY DAY. Having to navigate this frustration EVERY DAY, and in a way that isn't even so obvious so people treat you like you're nuts when you talk about it.

I really do think that this is because you've been raised in a white space, so you've been disconnected from your culture outside of your immediate family (are they also trying to assimilate? Because if they aren't encouraging your growth within your own cultures, that's also a problem) and you're used to people "not getting it". If you were surrounded by more Black and Asian folks, more Blasians, even, you'd deal with that less. So I am sorry that they got you in this environment. Unfortunately as a kid, you don't have too much say in things like this due to a lack of authority.

Nonetheless, you can always try telling them how you feel? I know it's like "oh come on, I'm a teenager and they're parents, they never get it right". I been there! It's half so they can do something (if they care) and half so that if they don't do anything, they have context when YOU start making decisions to handle this. It won't be a "they never brought this up!" Yes they did. Just talk about "hey, I'm feeling very isolated here, I feel like I'm disconnected from my identity. Can we possibly go hang out with family or do something specific to us?"

Talking to your elders, that's another way to get connected. Learning about your history and culture always helps you get connected. Going out of your way to find Black, Asian, and Blasian (whatever Asian ethnicity you are) spaces online, getting involved there. From experience, even just being surrounded by more yourself, knowing you aren't alone, can really help with solidifying your identity.

As for your experience being biracial, I also think that's very common. A lot of people have come here and said similar things, so don't feel like you're going crazy or anything. It's very studied that growing up of color in a primarily white environment can be damaging to one's esteem and identity. Again, you're not alone!

When it comes to stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, I’ve found it’s usually way better to think to yourself ‘I don’t want to be’ than ‘I’m not’.

Moreover, [Dr. Eugene L.] Saenger's patients did not have to die to provide such information: researchers had known at least since 1956 that TBI destroys the bone marrow, but now they could calibrate the lethal doses more precisely.

Saenger, who was still a professor emeritus at the University of Cincinnati Medical School as this book went to press, did not reply to my telephoned interview requests through the UC press-relations office or to emails in which I asked him to discuss his work. But in his public statements, he defends his research as therapeutic and consensual. The venerable American College of Radiology agreed, exonerating Saenger of wrongdoing on the basis of his denials and by ignoring the rules that govern experimentation during his tenure as a DOD researcher. The trajectory of Saenger's medical career did not falter and he never faced criminal charges.

Martha Stephens, a University of Cincinnati English professor, has written The Treatment, a comprehensive and unflinching history of the TBI test. Its chapters describe the long, bitter fight for justice that finally culminated in a five million dollar 1999 settlement between thirteen researchers and the subjects' survivors. The agreement also stipulated that the university would erect a permanent memorial naming the victims, and in June 2000, it complied by installing a small, curiously dated plaque labeled DEDICATED TO THE PATIENTS OF THE RADIATION EXPERIMENTATION, 1973-1974 and listing the names of over 170 patients.

The plaque was placed on the medical school grounds, behind a Dumpster and nestled between the kitchen and a parking garage."
