The legal age for straight sex is 16, unless the person is in the care/custody of the older person, in which case it is 18.

It's illegal to eat cats and dogs in Victoria.

Pope Pius II, before he became Pope, wrote an erotic book.

Technically, the Korean War never ended.

Winston Churchill believed in a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. (see Illustrated Sunday Herald, London, Feb 8 1920, article entitled "Zionism versus Bolshevism")

Lol, its funny how she has a page with a math theorem for folding paper, the 'Paper folding theorem'. Lol
Compared to the usual mathematicians like euler who have a whole page of funny symbols, its refreshing to see such an almost pointless formula.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Catch_rate

Thats not pointless, I use it all the time to determine if I can catch a pokemon. What I did was let Hp current = x, I then differentiated the equation to find the value of x in which the gradient was 0 to find the max value of a. But im wondering now, if I integrate the equation, does that give me the area size of the pokeball used? Coz I needa know if it will fit in my pocket.

Whats the formula for master ball catch rate?

P(catch successful) =
