Orthocenter

0 comments
Most of America is suddenly abuzz with the singular question of what is an orthocenter. Now,enlightened people will produce a thousand pages and more underlying the definition  of an orthocenter, its formation,values,characteristics and a lot more but this question didn’t rise from the academia but came to light from a reality game show, the ever popular ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’.

This question was asked to Cassie Belek, a University of Missouri graduate student from Overland Park, Kansas and the correct answer carries the said million for her. She has already stated that Math in general is not one of her strong suits.

If she’s a bit jittery about the answer she has other options too. If she chooses not to answer this last one, she will walk away with the assured $50,000 and even if she is incorrect with her answer, Belek still gets the $25,000 just for reaching that stage of the competition.

The factor that go to Belek’s favour are that she’s still left with a lifeline by which she can enlist answer from an expert.

But Belek is not pinning her hopes on the million but she is busy making her plans with the assured $25,000.According to her, as her student loans were piling up, this sudden windfall will sure provide some much needed respite from the drudgery of everyday financial worries.

This straight-from-the-heart sort of young lady comments on her winnings as, “It’s been a long time to wait, but I’m glad it’s finally airing. My loans are starting to run out, so I’m waiting for the check.”We wish her all the best with her future life.
