It is the school motto.

Perhaps the sculpture is inflatable and was transported deflated.

I'm not too concerned about it.  I mean, it's not too realistic to think my chess rating is going to get up to 4200 to pass my current points value, even if I study real hard instead of playing in the forums . . . 

Hmmm-- if it was self-inflating, via farting, would it be able to inflate itself if it wasn't already first inflated and thus present to generate the inflating fart?

Btw, do you guy not know what "spam" is? Spam means a form of mass advertisement.

yes, it does look like a flip of f(x) ( = x^2 ) across the x-axis, thus the negative sign out front in g(x). But, and my eyes are not what they use to be, g(x) appears to intersect the x-axis at the point (3,0) and also appears to have a y-intercept of (0,-9) which is more suggestive of g(x) = - [( x - 3.0 )^2], that is a translation of the flipped f(x) by three to the right . . .  of course only noting this for the purpose of completeness

You better get with it.  The OP of a thread should be 1 step ahead of the thread's thought-evolution, not 2 steps behind!

I'm pretty sure that's been taken care of. 

 Couldn't one say (with a substitution for the dummy variable) that:

-g(u+3) = f(u)        How's that for compactness?   

 Lol, I love farts and what I love more is sharing my farts with others.  All raise!

I'm sitting on the pot.   

With the secret society? I mean sect?

On the seat!

Farts=fantastic aromas relishing trolls, spammers

Well I read thru all 231 posts and tho there is some funny stuff here I'm very confused now and I can't sum up ( I hate it when that happens ), must be all of that math stuff towards the end. Lets see now, if a+b=c and if x+y=z then how much is m equal to ??? ( oh darn I'm so confused )  

Here in the Upper Peninsula the value of pi rounds to 3.14, so we celebrate Pi Day on March 14.
