Saxum Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 New York officials are considering temporarily turning some of Niagara Falls into a trickle. One construction scenario would leave the American and Bridal Veil Falls dry for five months, from August through December. The second plan being considered would require a nine-month dry spell, from April through December. http://wtop.com/politics/2016/01/officials-may-temporarily-turn-niagara-falls-into-trickle/
Chef Jim Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I was 8 when the did it in 1969. It was the coolest thing ever and I didn't even go see it. I just remember reading about it and thinking how great that was.

I just remember reading about it and thinking how great that was. 1969-8...1969-10=1959. 10<8 = 2. 1959+2=1961. You were born in 1961. This is 2016. 172.78759594745 2016-1961... 1961....1971...1981...1991....2001....2011....2021....6 of those. that's 60, but it's not 2021 yet. it's 2016. 2021-2016....2015-2020 is 5 years. so...2016+10 is 2021. divide 2021/2...1010.5. than times 6...6063....add two years. 6065. add 150....6215...subtract some numbers. get 13.1448695675328. times that a lot. you're 55 - 3.1416... you're 54.

Is that common core math? If so I'm not surprised you got it wrong. I'm 54.

Should he have birthday pi?
Saxum Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Age depends on month you were born. I remember seeing on TV living in Blasdell in 1969. Chef Jim and I are same age +/- 9 months.
DC Tom Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Is that common core math? If so I'm not surprised you got it wrong. I'm 54. He's probably using 48-week years or something...
Chef Jim Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 He's probably using 48-week years or something... No one could be that dumb. No one!!
plenzmd1 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Okay, no math battles here I actually do remember the Falls being turned off as my dad just marveled at it and we went more than a few times.It is one of my earliest memories and I am 52..53 in a few months. As that article mentions, I too remember the sound more than anything.
stevewin Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I remember crawling around on the rocks, but not sure I fully appreciated what was going on at the time (5 yrs old). There are pictures of it somewhere in my Dad's house.
