    Quizzes are easy, right?

    Information
    • PM all answers to Pidge; title it appropriately
    • Do not include the questions in your PM, but make it clear what question you are answering
    • You can only send one PM for your answers for the quiz unless Pidge asks for a reply.
    • Be as specific as possible and necessary when you answer.
    • Prizes depend on how well everyone does. If only a few people get everything right and everyone else fails miserably, you could even get a Pokemon.
    • DO NOT DISCUSS THE QUIZ OR ASK FOR HELP, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM ANY PRIZES AND BE FINED URPG MONEY
    • However, if you are confused by something on this quiz, or have a question on what exactly is needed, PM or IM Pidge.
    • You have 2 weeks to submit answers. This is also when all the prizes and results will be shown.
    • Any damage calculations should use this calculator: http://monbrey.net76.net/calc.htm

    MATH

    Write a single function with variable, x, that gives the total amount of Toxic % dealt to a Pokemon when x amount of turns have passed.

    I have hosted the images on Photobucket now (because some countries do not allow you to see Imageshack images apparently). One image is hosted on imgur because it was too big for Photobucket.

    OH WOW!
    Well, at least me being advanced in math finally comes in handy! :) Though some others are still really hard. Luckily, not much problems with variables and such. Hopefully, I'll finish this in time.

    Do that and I will hunt you down. I don't know why I haven't bothered already.

    EDIT: eevee, my high distinction in linear algebra and differential calculus in 1st year uni leaves me stumped the function one. Why have I been missing the obvious recently?
