Argh I hate maths

It makes a trapezoid, a right trapezoid. If you draw it, the distance between Craig and Josie is 5 km.

That is because it forms a right triangle with the base. 3km and 4km right angle and then you calculate the hypotenuse by the forumula. x^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
So you write Lucia and Craig on paper (in between them there's a distance of 2 km. You then write bellow them, Peter (right below Lucia) and draw a line between Lucia and Peter. it has 3 km in length. Then Peter and Josie are on the same line (Josie is to the right of Peter, by 6 km). If you draw the height of the trapezoid from Craig down to the line made by Peter and Josie, you make a right triangle.

 FaeryWren:

so craig is 3km north and 4km west of josie? 

That's right - and then you need trigonometry to solve for the angle from "opposite" and "adjacent". I think it's:  inverse tangent(3/4) = 36.9° - or "to the nearest degree" = 37° ... which sounds about right (plausibility check), as it's got to be something a bit less than 45°. (P.S. Long long ago I studied engineering.)

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

I have absolutely no clue what ur saying lmao TT

dont worry, neither do I LOL

I literally just answered todays challenge question, saying I was a drama and art kid. All i had to do for math was pass LMAO

Agreed - and in addition to your two excellent examples, there are some other heavier or non-HEA titles that I like and would also call "BL" (good examples: "My Bromance" original movie, "Eien no Kinou", "The Best Story"). I admit that there's a fine line for what's "BL" (by my vague definition) and what's "gay-themed drama", and I myself am not always consistent in how I apply it. Based on many Western gay-themed dramas over my lifetime (from the original "Boys in the Band" through the AIDS era, to "Brokeback Mountain" more recently), what most of them have in common is that they leave me feeling depressed.

Back then I wasn't into BL live action. But I remembered Brokeback Mountain was Jude Law and omg I forgot his name, the one who played Joker and Cassanova and the twins King and citizen (the storyline was kinda like Crowned Clown). Yeah their movie, it was a hit but I haven't watched it. I only watched more innocent BL like Cherry Magic, Kieta Hatsukoi, The Untamed, Guardian (but its story was very great, adapted from Priest's novel if I remembered right, I've read the novel, masterpiece) until KinnPorsche hit me mid-last year. Crazy but very good. Then I watched a lot of Thai BL. Sadly not a lot recent Th-drama that's as good as KinnPorsche.

Ah, you recommended me The Best Story movie version but I love War Wanarat's acting and Yin Anan Wong's visual so I put the drama version on my ptw.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

@FaeryWren @p43425 @Emrys

I got the answer guysss

Ok so basically, u have to draw it out and it forms a triangle and u have to do trigonometry: inverse tan(4/3) = 53.13…. 

And then u take that amount away from 360 to get 307 degrees (to the nearest degree)

BL to the rescue LMAO

 p43425:

or "to the nearest degree" = 37°

@Onys: Oh yes, I didn't think of that. Assuming they want a navigational course (clockwise from due north = 0°), then you're correct: 270° + 37° = 307°

I'm confused. I think there is only one "The Best Story" (short three-episode school BL, photo below). I mentioned the original 2014 movie of "My Bromance". (I've never watched the 2016 series, which has a different cast and team and is also rated a bit lower.)
