Ok so what happened was I knew that he was a senior, and the younger brother or cousin or something of a really good wrestler and he was bigger than I was, so I didn't want him to think I was a pushover so right off the whistle I tied up with him and gave him a good head butt, like I usually do, and then a head snap. I could tell that I had accomplished my goal because he made a noise like "ohh." Then I forget what happened I'm pretty sure I shot a bad shot, but at least I'm trying my shots now, and then I let him get behind me. I know that I'm good on bottom and I wanted to see how good he was so I balled up and tried to let him work a move so I could reverse it. He tried unsuccessfully to break me down so I took a couple of scoots forward and hit a decent hip roll but then turned to the legs, which was stupid, and then he turned to his stomach and I was on top. He worked his way up to a base and I put up a mild effort to break him down but I knew that once he was on his feet I would be able to pick him up and throw him back to the ground, which I did. Once he was on the ground I'm pretty sure, although I can't really remember, I ran a half nelson I think he squirmed his way out again, then I got tired of wrestling him so I ran an arm bar, turned him to his back, put my knee to his head, and didn't let him up. At that point he made another one of those noises, "ohhh," after a little while of being on his back and not being able to get out. Once the reff finally declared that he was pinned, I jumped up and while he was still on the ground said " good match" then we walked to the center, we shook hands, again I said "good match," even though it wasn't that great, and the reff raised my hand. We each walked to the opposite coaches' corners and shook their hands. On the way back to our side of the mat, while we were passing, I said "good match" again, at which point he didn't say anything. I think he was a little mad at being pinned by a sophomore but what can I say.

Inflation Rate Horace Mann tuition. 1955 ($917)thru 2006 ($30,000).
So? Mathematicians: If you still have your slipsticks, what is the average
> annual HM tuition inflation rate anyway?
Well, the current tool of choice is a spreadsheet...
> $917 in 1955, and $30,000, in 2006?
Inflation rate is generally based on a single step. According to http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/InflationCalculator.asp,
the inflation rate from September, 1955 to September, 2006 was 654.28%.
That would mean that the 2006 tuition should be $6,916.75. Thus HM tuition has risen much faster than inflation -- in fact, the inflation rate for HM tuition alone is 3171.54%.
It is well-known that tuition for tertiary education rises much faster than inflation, so one shouldn't be surprised that the same holds true for secondary education. One reason given for this anomalous rise is that one cannot increase the productivity of educators as fast as one can increase the productivity of workers in other fields. In fact, there are good reasons to assume that the productivity of educators cannot be increased at all, simply due to the nature of education.
But you asked for the AVERAGE ANNUAL HM tuition inflation rate. Although the concept of an average is a bit out of place in this context, we could argue that what you're asking for is a single yearly inflation rate that would increase the $917 to $30,000 over the 51-year period from 1955 to 2006. That's the same as asking for the compound interest rate that would result in a $917 investment in 1955 being worth $30,000 in 2006. The answer is very close to 7.0782%.
This is probably more than you wanted to know, but when you ask a professor a question that's the usual result. Happy New Year!
