Day 2: Porsche Finally Unleashed

Need for Speed 5: Porsche Unleashed is one of the first realistic racing games in the NFS series. It features Porsche cars from the classic era to the modern era and has the usual singleplayer, multiplayer, knockout, tournament modes like the previous NFS titles. The hit point, however, is the realism and depth of this game, minus the flashy graphics, animations and effects of NFS Underground et al. Take a look at some screenshots


I finished the game today in 4 hours, and it was really enthralling. (4 hours of my pitiful, fruitless life down the drain, 4 hours closer to my pitiful, fruitless JEE).

And then I sat down for DC Pandey Subjective, did 2 questions in 15 minutes, got bored, and started geometry instead. Back to class VIII geometry.......

Try these for a change:

1. A line AB and a line CD intersect at O, and another line XY is drawn. Prove that there exist 2 points on XY which will be equidistant from AB and CD. When will there be only 1 such point?

2. In a quadrilateral ABCD, AC is the angle bisector of angle A as well as angle C. Prove that the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

Oh yeah, if you havent seen this before, munch on this,

I can prove that all triangles are equilateral...



Please leave a comment if you can find the anomaly in this proof, and have not seen it before.


Todays formula:

If a, b, c are sides of a right triangle, c being the longest, then a²+b²=c²

  • HI! man. nice 2 see u posting ur own blog. Ok I didn't like Porsche Unleashed at all. I like nfs underground 2 very much. Its the sexiest rcing game made till now for me. and i havent played their latest - Need for Speed Most Wanted. but nfsu2 is quite cool. take the cd from me and explore. however, it taxes ur system a little, 256mb ram with 32 mb video card, 1.5 ghz, 2gb space etc. ect.
    Take the cd from me if required.

    And for the equilateral poblem u kno that I and akhil solved it.

  • How can you coincide a circumcentre and an incentre for any arbit triangle.
