I know this isn't about anything to do with computers but i need help.

To go into the army (which i want to do) my body mass index has to be between 18 and 25.

The formula fo it is weight divided by height squared. w/h^2

The whol thing isn't squared only the height, or does it matter?? (so i know how to put it in my calculator.

The last time i did my Body Mass Index I was 16.something but that was using an adults scale and it classed me underweight!!! (No suprises!!) But I need to know, what do I have to do to increases it- either decrease or increase weight?? Because growing will come naturlly and i can't really control that!!!

.put this in your calculator; (weight - kg)/(height - m)². That will only square the height, which is what is needed.

To increase it, get heavier.

To the chocolate shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!I never thought you'd have to stuff your face with chocolate to get into the army!

Ok, Detour company!!! To the CAKE SHOP!!!! What about cakes??

Nope, same thing. I didn't think eating generally unhealthy stuff was required for the army!

most of them smoke and eat fried breakfasts most mornings!!

True.... Though isn't that a stereotype?

on work experience they smokled alot. You know the LARGE baked bean cans you csan get from the tax free shopping centres for bussinesses, i can't think of their names. CASH n' CARRY!!! They emptied one of thoes full af cigarette ash every one and a half days!!! And that was between about 15-20 people. And cigarette ash compacts small!!!

Holy.... Surely that's not good for people who are meant to be running around and stuff...

they weren't the killing bit of the army. They deafened the enemy before they could get any where near!! I went to the army band

I didn't think playing music would be helped by smoking, either...

but they were still amazing

Yeah, they probably were.

they were all grade 8 (highest grade) on their main instrument and have an army "plus grade 8" exam. And most could play more than 2instruments amazingly!! There was one pianist who was a million times better than Mathew Hawkin from school. They kept goping behind hip and "threatened" to break his fingers!! He was that gooid. so one shouted to him to play grade one stuff, so he played Old McDonald's farm, amazing!! But they still rubbed it in by telling him to play it in sill keys and it's relative minor!! I don't even know what a relative minor is!!!! They were only messing about

LOL, that meant sod all to me!

In other words, they were amazing good!!!! :D :D :) :D :!: :!: :!:

Yeah, I guessed that much.

Hey, i think we should all work out our body mass indexes. ill find out the limits of the borders and post them. Lets do somwe maths

Hmm, I can't remember what my weight (and height) is, though.

work them out then (as an idea)

I'll do it later.

I'm 6ft and 12.5st, so that makes me have a BMI of 23.7, which is getting close to the overweight margin of 25. But BMI does not take in to account muscle, and muscle weighs much more than fat.

BMI is just that Body Mass Index, it doesn't say anything about being fat. It's just too much muscle is also generally unhealthy.

Anyway, 23.7 is average, considering 20 is considered underweight.

well my weight is 73Kg n my height is 1.73M so my BMI is 24.39105884... so its 24.4 which i dont know and dont care what that means about my weight
