The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
My friend is going to be a frosh leader for the University of Waterloo and their theme is going to be super heroes. So, as a frosh leader, she needs a super power.
So, I come to you H/A, what is a cool super power that is "realistic" and/or funny for Math people.
Note: for the realistic part, I suggested that her super power be that she could solve differential equations in a second, but she said that she couldn't actually do that, so she asked for something a little more realistic o_O. So, if the "realistic" super power is too restricting, a funny super power for mathies will do too.

Well, not necessarily a super power but she could do something like Batman where she's got different tools shaped like math symbols? Pi-Girl perhaps?
I second Pi-woman.
She must wear a costume with math symbols
She must carry 1 or more cream pies
She must pie a professor and/or another colleges student leader
(its actually against the law to randomly pie people so be sure they are into it and wearing a garbage bag so they don't get pie all over their clothes)
My (and my mom's) suggestion:
She should have the ability of "Exponential Redistribution". She's able to generate exponential growth and/or decay in order to increase her own abilities while decreasing the abilities of her opponents by manipulating the amount of energy they're able to access.
The ability to alter the coefficient of friction on any object.
Watch hilarity abound. Force that jerk in your Bio class to slip across the room helplessly. Watch people fumble for things in their hands, or delight as you make it so that they're utterly unable to let go of said objects.
Some jerk just cut you off while you're driving? Up the coefficient and his car won't be able to move. Lower it, and he'll careen off the road the first time he tries to turn.
Having the power to mess with physics constants is probably the coolest superpower imaginable.
Ooh, imagine being able to modify the speed of light, gravitational constants, etc... the effects could be pretty cool.
Ooh... or Planck's constant. Somehow having the ability to modify the size of Planck's constant could allow for quantum effects to be visible at a macro scale, which would create all sorts of interesting superpower-related situations.

Hahaha
Yeah...I got nothing.

How about the ability to traverse disconnected graphs? (ie, teleportation) Will pay off for those who end up taking Combinatorics.

YES!
reason: Insufficient 9s
potential costume?
.999999999 with nines continueing all over the entire outfit and the decimal point clearly on the front
on the back would be =1!
still not as good as pie tho!
I just realized....you could always just have like the first 200 decimal places of pie on the outfit if u really like numbers
The Bullseye-style geometry thing isn't bad at all, though.
Mathematics are cold and logical. >_>

I have alot of free time...

No man should have that kind of power.(Twitter)
