B.O.B.- something cool

Once again this class has come to a point where we now have an "ultimatum" when solving a problem.  Factoring has always been a little annoying for me because there are so many problems that I couldn't solve until I learned this new way.  Long division is, by far, the most reliable way of factoring.  All you need is one x-intercept and you can completely factor any polynomial (as long as it can be factored).  I personally hate not being able to do something without my calculator and long division finally gives me a way to do previously impossible things.  To me it doesn't even matter that long division of polynomials takes so long, it can be used to factor so many polynomials that it is amazing.
