Five consecutive squares always average to the middle square plus 2.
146 * 5 = 730.
Answer = 2

That is some amazing trivia to know

Yeah, 2. Multiply, add, divide. I've seen enough Vedic math ways to do things that I know my brain-dead solution could be improved.
I never compare myself with any student from any time other than to say, "I'm still learning." Imagine running into a completely unschooled guy who comes up with this for an approximation of pi?

sum of the series (x+n)^2 , 0 <= n <= 4, x=10
= 5(x^2 + 4x + 6) , x=10
= 5(100 + 40 + 6)
= 5(146)
= 730

I'd say 2 too.
10^2=100
14^2=196
more or less the average of extreme values is (100+196)/2~150
150*5=750
750 must be not so far from the sum of the powers but 750/365~ 2.something
than the reply most probably is 2 (5 secs the whole thing)

Such an a-salt, where they stew in their own juices? Serves them right!! I have a bone to pick with some of these hard-boiled politicos: they bite off more than they can chew and then leave their plate for others to clean up.

Today, I tried to use my bluetooth headphones with my laptop.
It's been impossible.
OLD QUESTION
I've noticed bluetooth was not ON in my laptop and tried to start it, but it's been impossible.
Accessed the device administrator and seen Bluetooth wasn't there.
I've connected to the Internet and seen a kind of procedure to solve the issue and I followed the steps...
1. Shown hidden items in the device manager.
2. Uninstall drivers of the bluetooth hidden item.
3. Restart computer to get an automatically updated driver for that device.
Well... After restarting, bluetooth never appeared again.
After restarting it again and seeing a message saying the WIFI card was not accepted, I've opened the back lid, accessed the hardwared, unplugged the card and plugged it again.
Now it works...
I think I will have to buy that new laptop even before I planned to...
Thank you all!

Thanks, but maybe a little too obvious?
I feel like it was only one level of abstraction away from:
put "me" in between "co" and "dy"

I guessed it was comedy because of the me and company parts but I didn't think of DIY so it wasn't that obvious ( except for OG but you know whay he's like  )

IT's 2020. When are we going to get an "Update..." option within the app that updates this beast instead of us having to go to a website, download and manually install it. It's not like it's built using Visual Studio's guts or anything, and that VS has a fully integrated upgrader / installer, or anything.
Driving. Me. Nuts.
