if i take the ACT multiple times, do they take the highest grade on got in each subject regardless of which test it's from? for example, if my scores were 30 eng, 30 math, 25 sci, 25 read, and then i took it a second time and got 32 eng, 32 math, 24 sci, and 20 read. would they take the highest score i got in each subject or just the highest average of each test? i live in Illinois if they affects anything.

Who do you think is the better rapper? Both of their debut albums are my favorite of all time and possibly the best ever. I would say Nas' songs have more meaning to them and are more complex, while Jay Z has a lot of songs that are mostly about money and how rich he is. But jay z still has a lot of songs that are incredible. After Illmatic though the albums that were really good were It Was Written and Stillmatic. Jay Z had a couple of good albums in the early-mid 2000s and nas was not that big. However, Nas' new album was absolutely great and blew me away, and Jay Z's new album/songs are too mainstream and overplayed. What's your opinions?

What genre of music would rap be (stuff like Nas, Kanye, JayZ, wu tang) if we took the lyrics out of their songs and it was just the instrumental? Would it be like jazz or blues or something else...

I really have no fighting experience other than karate back when I was like 7, or fighting my older brother a bunch of times, lol. I've never learned like specialized fighting/boxing, and i'm thinking about doing it. Would i do like private lessons and then fight actually people? and be in like tournaments? i wanna know how it works? i'm 17, weight about 190, and i'm 5'10.

Who do you guys think is the better player and/or will have the biggest impact by the end of their career? I understand Kobe's already earned 5 rings and 2 finals MVPs, but most of his success comes from being on one of the richest teams in the NBA and his teammates. I know Lebron has Wade and Bosh, but Kobe played with SHAQUILLE O'NEAL. People I think forget how good Shaq actually was in his prime, averaged almost 30ppg and 15rpg. He was incredible. And then he had Gasol and Bynum, two of the best big men in the league. And don't even get me started with the team Kobe is playing with now, it's stacked with 4 all stars...yeah. As much as a hate Lebron (since I live in Chicago), he by far the best player in the league, gets players involved, does almost everything, and i can see a good 2 or 3 more titles for him. So to me, Lebron is better.

I'm just curious to see what others are into now. I'm more into classic stuff for the most part, (as in within the last 20 years) Mine are...

1. Illmatic- Nas

2. 36 Chambers- Wu Tang

3. Reasonable Doubt- Jay Z

4. Great Adventures of Slick Rick- Slick Rick

5. Late Registration- Kanye West

Are these teams both serious right now? I mean, are 3 all stars not enough? Wade, Lebron, Bosh, and now Allen? And then for the Lakers, Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Nash? Might as well take away competition from every team

I have a stutter and i notice that i speak better (almost perfectly) when I am pretty buzzed or slightly drunk. Does this happen with other people who stutter? And I know this can't be good because it'd be a bad habit to just be drunk all the time

What players who recently retired or are still playing do you think will be selected to the Hall of Fame? I definitely think it will be: Shaq, Bryant, Duncan, Iverson, Lebron, Steve Nash, Kidd, Dirk, Garnett, Allen, Pierce. These guys I am sure will get it in. I may be forgetting others but what do you guys think?

I've heard that putting baking soda helps stop sweating, and if that does work when should I put it on? And should i put it on before or after I shower or apply deodorant. so please explain that part and any other method that helps.

What are your thoughts? Mine is definitely Nas. Even though he came after a lot of rappers from the late 80s and early 90s, I still see him as the best. And his album Illmatic is probably the best hip hop album ever. Plus all of his other albums are still amazing.

I am 16 years old, and I have been shaving since I was like 12 (yes i had upper lip hair in 6th grade). I started out using a straight razor, and for the last 3 years I've only been using an electric razor. Today I attempted to use a straight razor again to see the difference, and when I tried shaving the razor would just get stuck on my hairs and not glide, pulled on them. Hurt like hell. Can someone explain why or give some tips?

I heard the origin is from around the early 1800s from Bow Street Runners, but that doesn't explain why they're called pigs? And then I know about all of the other theories of the pigs in Animal Farm, or the riot police gas masks, but those aren't believed to be true. So someone please explain the real meaning, thank you.

My friend and I were arguing whether or not a cop can search your car if he smells weed. I said that he can, and even if you say you don't consent to a search, he can just simply call a K9 over to search it without a warrant. My friend argues, however, that the smell could be anything, like running over a skunk, or farting, and so it is not enough evidence or the cop wouldn't take the time to search. Someone elaborate please.

Is it just natural that males are more aggressive and want to cause physical harm? For example wanting to beat someone's ***, or when we're angry we'll do something irrational like punch a hole in a wall.

It seems that the younger, better scoring teams in the regular season usually don't make it to/win the championship. Most of the time it's teams with veterans. For example, 90s Bulls, Spurs in 2005 and 2007, Shaq and the three peat in the early 2000s, '09 '10 Lakers, '08 Celtics, and just last season the Mavericks beating the Heat. Why is this??

My team would be:

PG-Magic Johnson

SG-Michael Jordan

SF-Larry Bird

PF-Tim Duncan

C-Kareem

And then the bench would be:

PG- John Stockton

SG- Kobe Bryant

SF-Julius Erving

PF- Karl Malone

C-Wilt Chamberlain

I'm not going to give a lot to read, but I feel like I am being affected by the violence in my house. This includes my dad and brother who have gotten into fist fights, my mom and dad arguing/screaming, my mom hitting my dad and how my dad found out she was in an affair. I try to maintain my sanity among the chaos but i feel like this may have an impact on me mentally in the future. Can it? I'm 16 right now.

Calculate the pH, pOH, and [H+], when [OH-] is 2.3x10^-12

Please explain how you calculated it

It's not that i am bad at talking or flirting with girls sometimes, I just notice I end up friend-zoning about 90% them. So I would like some advice how to not friendzone a girl, please.
