I just have a sticker of the "ohm's law wheel" on my clipboard. I must be a slacker...

Not very important at all unless you are Buddhist: oooohhhmmm...oooohhhmmmmm.

Stay out of the plumbers' way is the most important rule. Tattoo that.

Let me guess...you are the plumber that shows up on a job site and pulls the toilets just to show everyone who is the top of the pile.

another great easy way to remember the pie formulas is to just remember the phrase "EIR PIE" (said "ear pie"), and just remember the first letter is obviously on top.

Though for the basic pie formulas I've found that with just a bit of repetition of doing the calculations (as i've been in school) you just instinctively know what to do to get this or that.

Incidentally, to the original poster - I'm at Pennco Tech too.
