Depth measurements along it's diameter? Or depth measurements from a variety of locations? I've never seen anything like this in the NSW syllabus since the last time I've even used that rule was for a bitch of an algebra question and I'm inclined to approach it as a Volumes question in terms of Slicing, so my advice may not be too good.

Volume measurements taken in a uniform fashion every 15cm^2 across the hole. The Queensland syllabus is an asshole.

EDIT: tables do not work

If each horizontal or vertical slice looks similar you could do volumes by slicing, but that's about all I can figure. This isn't the kind of thing that ever appears in the NSW syllabus.

Ah Maths C, how you'll haunt me to my grave. Well, when in doubt, Wolfram Alpha :P

I have learned it's basically a civil engineering question. I have to calculate the area on each side of the grid, then calculate area with that. Oh god, this'll take awhile.

Alright, someone set the scene for me. What the fuck is going on in the IC thread?
ICARUS' shirt was damaged during a walk-by shooting. Two of the more damage resistant characters along with three glass cannons pursued them into an ambush, the glass cannons fared, well, they fared as well as to be expected. The damage-resistant characters were fine.

Another bullet-sponge dropped in for meatshield duty, two healers healed the critically wounded units and two melee units and a plane flanked.

The enemies then summoned an electric elemental with a statistics total of 300 because KJ decided to have his flying castle seemingly teleport across a significant distance to lay down fire.

So I suspect that this elemental, 'Archon' is probably designed to be destroyed in a manner that involves crippling or destroying the castle. Meanwhile a nazi who was sipping tea decided to try assisting.

Allow me to refute your two arguments:
-Kyle's Family: People who live in the outback can send their children to a boarding school. So it is entirely possible that his family was int he outback whilst he was in a suburb.
-Kyle and Conny's child: Magic. It was a magical baby that was delivered through magic and appeared as an orb of light initially.

Smurf: Perhaps you could use it in conjunction with Volumes by Slicing? That's just a guess though since I don't know the context.

I said near, not in. And I don't see why there can't be a city near or in a desert. It works pretty well in America.
Not in Australia. Most of the damn continent is arid and it's a damn big place. The original settlers stuck near the coast and all the infrastructure is near the coast. It is simply far easier to have cities near the coast than in the middle of an arid, dry desert.
To the first:  I've explicitly said that's not the case and you have no position telling my about my characters.

To the second:  Kyle literaly only took a couple minutes to get the baby.

90% of lore points to Northsdale being a well-developed city; in Australia, these are only found on the East Coast (excluding Perth). Even though there are some conflictions to the exact nature of Northsdale, most point to an environment not located in the Australian outback.

Therefore, Northdale will be a large town situated just north of Brisbane.

Back to math, and if I have to come back here...

Australia has a Prime Minister, Tony Abbot at the moment. He isn't exactly good, but eh, no one cares enough to do anything.
At least a budget surplus hasn't turned into a deficit in the background of political backstabbing :P

Not when it goes against lore I don't.
Angel was in a car crash. Her family was taken to hospital. There aren't that many trained personnel let alone medical facilities in the outback.

The characters go to school and university, there are no universities in the outback and not that many schools either.

People don't build pseudo-mansions in the outback.

Also, the outback is not that close to the capital of Queensland.

Abbot is actually awful, it's just that he has not been able to get his worst policies through the senate, and yeah sorry KJ Northdale being in the outback is completely unfeasible with what is going on, trust me I have gone driving with the family and not that far west, small towns are the largest you find

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!
