Sci Twi is so sexy :3

Writing and dexterity with right hand, but more strength with her left, perhaps? Or ambidextrous?

Speaking of hand orientation, it’s worth noting that Sunset writes with her right hand, not only in this scene but in her entries to Princess Twilight. When she holds the sledgehammer to destroy the portal in the first movie, however, she’s got a left-handed stance.

The problem is fairly easy to solve with trig, but one of the conditions that makes this the World’s Hardest Easy Geometry Problem is that you solve it using only basic geometry, which is what Sci-Twi is doing here. You have to add lines and points to the diagram in order to solve it, and those aren’t shown, so you can’t follow it as written (F and G points seem to appear out of nowhere).

Yep…  
C+P on the URL and you’ll see.

Just scribbles?

Love that look of concentration on her.

Here’s what I end up writing while mimicking them:

Well I nearly failed geometry and algebra. Trig was kind of easy, but still, I’m way too lazy to show all that work.

@noobiestbrony  
O.o
 
Eh. It looked like it was largely trigonometry stuff. They can only go so far with high school mathematics, but trig stuff is always interesting with all the angles and triangle rules and all.

I would likely throw myself in front of a bus before I’d try and solve that equation they worked on.

Hah. So they were consistent about it through the entire show? That’s really neat. I wonder if we’ve ever seen Pony->Human Twi show a preference. I think she tried using her right hand at one point. Granted, she’s originally a pony, so species change, but it’s still noteworthy that her attempts were right-handed, I think. I may be wrong on that. My memories/mind seems to naturally mirror things :p (it took me a loooong time to learn left and right in elementary. I sometimes even have trouble telling if I’m looking at a number that’s mirrored, or “normal.” My mind is funny that way)

Left-handed. Not late-handed. Crazy that we can’t edit our comments to correct typos.

As I was watching that scene, I noticed how symmetrical it was, with Sunset on the left and Sci-Twi on the right, and then I realized that would only be possible if one of them was late-handed. No matter what angle they showed her from, the animators were very careful to always show Twilight using her left hand to write.

Hah! She’s left handed, then? Never noticed. Good tagging.
