Bang! Time for instalment #4 of the AN AMA series. How swell have Orb, vox nihili and Jamon been thus far? Really cool insights.

An overview of the AN AMA series can be found here: The AN 'Ask Me Anything' Series

Next up we have...

A little more about Rui:

Quote from: RuiAce
Sup everyone! Rui here.

I'm your typical mathematics geek. Haven't exactly been as enthusiastic about it as when I was a kid but it's still been all my life. I've now landed at UNSW taking on an actuarial studies degree. Pretty weird turn-around in a way to be honest; I remember back in high school where science was my life and now I found myself in the world of business. If I'm not getting swamped in my homework, I'm either playing the piano, watching videos on YouTube or enjoying a nice game of chess or cards. That aside I do have some other interests, but I would get lost trying to think which ones are worth mentioning.

So get to it, and ask Rui anything! Some possible questions to get you started:

- What are some study tips for Maths Ext. 2?
- What do you want to do after uni?
- How have you found UNSW thus far?
- Have you ever met Brenden?
- Who's your favourite contestant on The Bachelor?

But take advantage of this opportunity! Cheers. :)

To clear this up now, I don't even have a TV so I don't follow this stuff! Lol

I just knew someone would ask me this since I asked it three times in a row :P

Spoiler
The answer is 42. To translate the maths it's basically saying what's the largest positive whole number that divides into k7-k

I actually don't have a rating yet! Haven't signed up with FIDE yet tbh since I lack the motivation to play at competition level actively.

Thinking about this though, I really should get one.

Quitting the piano.

Honestly, what was I thinking to drop it back in Year 4. Stupid laziness. After the HSC ended I literally forced myself to pick it back up. Could've been so good at music now but nope.

It feels boring preparing the same songs over and over again for piano exams but I'm still happy that I took it back up anyway. Gotta amend the stupidity of my past (and of course, get some more extracurriculars going lel).

That's tough. And the correct answer is to ignore people such as studybuddy7777 who make life hard.

Just kidding :P

I'm not that inspirational, but
Do not lose yourself.

Will someone from NSW ever produce maths as good as this on AN? Re: Is it true that Monash is the hardest uni in Vic to graduate from?

Pretty sure I can voice a question that everyone has wondered before.

How is your name meant to be pronounced and how the hell did you come up with such a name?!

You can only eat one food item for the rest of your life. The catch is, it has to rhyme with your future job. What is the food and the job?

Roo-ee

What do you mean I came up with it. My dad came up with a very authentic Chinese name.

Or more importantly, how dare you swear at it.

So you're saying I have to eat blueberries for the rest of my life if I want to become an actuary? Because I definitely don't want to kill the poor canary.
