And an "Able Juice" for Sapphira. Is that your secret to radiation protection.
Sorry, no pics. I have some super powers that others here don't, but the HTML loophole is not mine.
I have a lot of "hot Dr. Pepper" if anyone wants some.
I've heard that radiation fallout would last at least 35 years. I wonder how long that is in Mario time.

Me: Which one?
Him: Dis one, right 'ere! I can't do dis'!*points to a greastest common multiple problem. He's taking Pre-Algebra*
Me: *calculates in head for about 3 seconds.* It's 360. (I think the numbers were 18, 24 and 36)
Him: Lessee 'bout dat! *does problem on paper in about a minute, and gets 360* WHAT!? You did dat' in yo head!
Me: Gimme somethin' else, and I'll do it!
Him: You bout' to be in fo' it! *flips to last chapter* Okay man, do dis'! *shows me an intermediate fraction-factoring algebra problem* Lessee you do DAT!
Me: *calculates in head for 15 seconds* It's 16/5.
Him: *checks back of book* Man, you's NOT human!
Now this is where it gets sorta freaky
Him: Yo got anythin' ELSE freaky to show me!
Me: *sees fan blowing toward pencil* I wonder if I can move that pencil with my miiiiiiiind..........
Him: Now yo just talkin' CRAZY!
Me: Maybe............*starts moving fingers*
Sure enough, as I start moving my fingers, the fan starts rolling the pencil over and off the desk
Him: Oh dear god.............
Me: Did I mention I was telekinetic?
Him: Okay now, I think yo got some sorta superpower, y'know, in yo head!
Me: Of course I do. Brice is only my secret identity. I can also fly using my mind, but I'll never show anyone that!
Him: Okay, now I ain't NEVER belived in superpowers till' NOW!

So, for example, 17 modulo 5 is 17/5's remainder, or 2.
I will now explain how to prove the statement.
An integer ending in 0 or 5 modulo 5 is 0
Ending in 1 or 6 modulo 5 is 1
Ending in 2 or 7 modulo 5 is 2
Ending in 3 or 8 modulo 5 is 3
Ending in 4 or 9 modulo 5 is 4
Now, I now must prove that no integer, when squared, ends in 2, 3, 7, or 8.
An integer ending in 0 sqaured ends in 0x0, or 0. Thus, it is 0 modulo 5.
Ending in 1: 1x1 = 1, so 1 modulo 5.
Ending in 2: 2x2 = 4, so 4 modulo 5.
Ending in 3: 3x3 = 9, so 4 modulo 5.
Ending in 4: 4x4 = 16, so it ends in 6 and is 1 modulo 5.
Ending in 5: 5x5 = 25, so it ends in 5 and is 0 modulo 5.
Ending in 6: 6x6 = 36, so it ends in 6 and is 1 modulo 5.
Ending in 7: 7x7 = 49, so it ends in 9 and is 4 modulo 5.
Ending in 8: 8x8 = 64, so it ends in 4 and is 4 modulo 5.
Ending in 9: 9x9 = 81, so it ends in 1 and is 1 modulo 5.
And the square of ANY integer's last digit is the last digit of the square of the integer.
Notice that none of the digits squared ends in 2, 3, 7, or 8. Thus:
The square of any integer modulo 5 CANNOT be 2 or 3.
I found that when I was bored one day.

It was when I read this line that what you were saying became impressive. I have myself discovered interesting mathematical relationships before, but they are different from yours on at least two counts: (1) I didn't bother to write them down (so I don't remember them) and, more importantly, (2) they were not nearly as complicated as this.
That's a good explanation (or proof). The line, "And the square of ANY integer's last digit is the last digit of the square of the integer," gave me a little trouble at first. But once I understood it, I saw that it was key to what you were saying. Try as I did, I could not find a counterexample to it. Did you discover that part of this thing on your own, too?
The problem with interesting mathematical relationships like this one is that "interesting" is all they are; they don't serve any purpose, so most people won't take note of them. But, on the other hand, someone probably said the same thing of the fact that when you pick up two rocks and then pick up three rocks, you have five rocks. That is, someone probably talked of addition as being irrelevant, but we know now that it certainly is not. And this is possibly true of many IMPORTANT mathematical relationships known today. Who knows? Steve's proof could lead to the invention of light sabers or dehydrated water someday . . .

You know how when you multiply two large numbers, you must set up the equation like this:
..3294
x2048
Anyways, to start, one must multiply the 8 in the bottom number by the top number. Doing this, we get:
..3294
x2048
______
26352
Now, when you multiply with the second digit, you are actually multiplying the top number by the second digit of the bottom number ... TIMES 10. Thus, your product ends in 0. The next digit will be times 100, and will also end in 0. All other digits of the bottom number will end in 0 when the product is taken.
And it is NOT hard to prove that a digit plus any number of zeros is that digit:
d+0x=d
Where d is the digit, and x is the number of zeros.
Thus, the last digit of the final product can be determined by multiplying the last digits of the two numbers.
It is kind of hard to understand, but... that's as good as I can explain it.
Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

Luigison, now that you've shown another Special Power of sorts, would you please do me a favor and not go posting as me all over the place?

Post by: Watoad on April 27, 2003, 01:03:24 AM
Having checked the user profiles of you and the fake Watoad, I still hold with my theory of how this works. The fake Watoad's profile shows three posts, and I have seen three fake Watoad posts. If you were just changing your "Luigison" user name into "Watoad," then wouldn't the post numbers be the same (as well as the other info)? It really looks like two separate accounts to me.
In checking your profile, I saw that you put Iraq as the country you're in, and I laughed.
If you don't want to (or can't) close "A Thread Worth Closing" for me, that's okay. I had originally wanted to test my ability to post in closed threads without doing it in a sensitive thread closed in the past by Deezer, but I'm not too concerned about doing that anymore.

Of course, there aren't 46693 member HERE, but these IDs are used for EVERY forum using the Gamespy ASPForum layout. You'd think CW would be an older member than me here(just look at his post count), but I'm actually 3000 numbers older. I know Fifth is the oldest remaining member, at 16???.

I do best in geometric and trigonometric math. I can create and rotate a full 3D obect using line commands and trig maths. I did it on my TI-83+.
Post by: Insane Steve on May 01, 2003, 10:12:07 PM
In a twist of irony, geometry is my major mathematical weakness. In the AIME (15 questions, I got 8/15 right) I got:
7/9 non-geometry questions right:
1/6 geometry questions right:
And in the USAMO, I couldn't even write a whole page on either of the 2 geometry proofs. In contrast, I wrote 5-page proofs for 2 of the other questions.
And my biggest mathematical strength is DEFINATELY combinations & probablity (especially the latter). I am AMAZING at probability problems for some reason.

It is possible, but not in the way most people think. The key word is "Enter". As in I will "enter" this reply into the thread.
If no one gets it by next week I will give another hint.
By the way, Deezer gave the hint "Reference" as to the original and now new location of the "secret" page. Has anyone found it yet?

Enter... in the sense of "stick a number between these two numbers"? So it can just be something like 9? Making... 294?

For 2+2 = cube root of 8, 2+2 has 3 solutions: 4, 10 (Base 4), and 11 (Base 3). Cube root of 8 has three solutions: 2, -1 + (i)sqrt 3, -1 - (i)sqrt 3. We need not worry about bases here, as we are not working with numbers greater than 8.
For 1+1 < cube root of 2, 1+1 can only have 2 solutions: 2, and 10 in base 2. However, cube root of 2 has 3 solutions: 2^1/3, and 2 other imaginary conjugates. And if there are bases to worry abuot, that given even more solutions to the cube root of 2.
Thus, Solutions of 1+1 < solutions of cube root of 2.

And letting 2(pi)1 = x, e^x=y, and x=ln y.
Now, i(6.28...) That's about... sqrt(-40). Maybe.
And sqrt -40 = ln y, e^sqrt -40 ... so, I'll take both sides to the sqrt -40th power:
e^-40 = y^sqrt -40
or: 1/e^40 = y^(2(pi)i).
Erm... why am I comparing imaginary numbers to real numbers? Can you even do that? Is there even a serious answer?

e^0 = 1, so:
e^(2(pi)i)_____ e^0
Taking the natural log of both sides yields
2(pi)i_____0
This is where it gets interesting. If you multiply out 2(pi)i, you get about sqrt -40.
SO:
sqrt -40 ____ 0
This is where it gets interesting. If you divide both sides by sqrt -40, you get:
1 _____ 0, so it would be >. But
squaring both sides yields
-40 ______ 0, so this would be <.
I'll go with > though, as -4<3, but -4^2>3^2.

I don't know how much you know about calculus, but...
Start with z = cos(x) + i*sin(x) ......(1)
Then dz/dx = -sin(x) + i*cos(x)
= i(cos(x) + i*sin(x)) (since i^2 = -1)
= i*z
So dz/z = i*dx
Now integrate both sides
ln(z) = i*x + c From (1); when x=0, z=1 so c=0
ln(z) = i*x
z = e^(i*x) but z = cos(x) + i*sin(x), So
cos(x) + i*sin(x) = e^(i*x) ......(2)
Put x = pi in (2) and we get:
-1 + 0 = e^(i*pi)
and so e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0
e^(i*pi) = -1
Square both sides for e^(2*i*pi) = 1
And so, gentle reader, e^(2*pi*i)=.999...=1

-You poured each into a *different* barrel
-You made different sections in the barrel, which you said you couldn't do.
-Or one jub was filled with water, the other with oil or something similar--but you said they both had water in 'em.
Hm... Maybe the barrel has a hole in it that can drain the water from one jug into another container... Then you can plug the hole and pour the other jug.
Heck, it's probably simpler than that. You pour one jug into the barrel, dump out the water, then pour the other jug into the barrel.

And yes, I will be waiting for your next math problem. Please though, no calculus methods, though. I can do a limited amount of Trigonometry I taught myself, but I'd prefer it play a slightly more limited role in a question if you ask it...
And while you wait, here's one for you. It is MY strongest point: probability.
You have three dice loaded so that the number 6 is n times as likely to come up as all of the other numbers individually. (That is, the respective individual odds of each of the 6 numbers coming up are 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, n for the faces 1-6 respectively.) Express in terms of n the probability that two of the three dice will show the same number while the third die shows a different number.
I made that problem all by myself one day out of boredom.
And remember folks: Math is #
(infinity)
E (1/(2^k))
k=1
Erm.... or the number that is arbitarily close to, anyways.
Tell me how the sigma notation project turns out, ok?
PS: The barrel problem. My guess is that you pour the water into 2 separate non-plastic containers and put those containers into the barrel.

I assumed that was a REALLY big number, but have no idea what it means. Call me ignorant or whatever, but a little help would be nice. @_@

j
E f(k)
k=x
Which is read: The sum of all values of the function f(k0 for all integral values between x and j, inclusive.
So, your fanfic got a
4
E (k)
k=1
out of tem.
The sum of all values of f(k) = k for the value of k between 1-4.... it is
1+2+3+4= 10. So yea. So, the Math is #
(infinity)
E (1(2^k))
k=1
= 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 .... and so on forever. This should equal 1. Or a number arbitralily close to 1.

A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning.
Why did the man not die? Please note that he did not add the poison. Also, nothing was added to punch after he left.

FRIENDS. I record all the reruns on TiVo, but I can't get the new ones. :(

I am trying to get directv to add several channels because I also want to watch the Simpsons and G4.

Oh, and I can assure you, I wasn't gonna say anything on Friends. Just gonna leave everyone who hasn't watched it yet hanging.(advantage of being on the east coast. :P)
I would never spoil anything. But let's just say, it's REALLY shocking!!! @_@ Ahhh!! I have to wait 'til Fall to see what happens next!! Season finales are evil!!
Why can't you get the new episodes? Don't you get NBC? Well, what's the lastest season (or episode) of Friends that you've seen, Luigison?
(Oh, and SIMPSONS rules!! ^_^)

The poison was in the ice in the pucnh. The man who left early didn't die because the ice had yet to melt, and thus there was no poison in the punch. Everyone else drank it later when the ice melted and there WAS poison. So yea.
Anyone have ANY clue on the dice problem? (Ha ha ha, I think that's the hardest problem on the whole thread. The hexagon was tricky, but the dice question really requires all kinds of knowledge about the game.

Well, I would've tried to solve your problem, but it's math. As soon as I see a math problem I'm turned away. Ughk! I much prefer logic instead of numbers.
Ugh! I have a REALLY, REALLY good one, but I can't remember it exactly (which is crucial.) It's kind of a complicated problem. I'll have to get it from my cousin. She's the one who enlightened me to it. Oh well, I'll wait. In the meantime...

EDIT: Well, I live smack in the middle of the "Magic Empire," and tornadoes never come here. But it is kinda scary sometimes. I could hear the sirens very close last time. And there was a ton of rain and hail.
Oh well. It's extremely cloudy here so I can't see anything of the eclipse either.

Insane Steve: Never fear; the dice problem will not go unsolved once I get around to it (I hope). Don't do anything silly like reveal the answer prematurely.
Sapphira: You prefer logic to math? What is the difference, please?
"I''m a stupid fatty and I love to play with my Easy Bake oven!"
Post by: Sapphira on May 16, 2003, 06:56:42 PM
Lizard Dude: There's a BIG difference. Math involves numbers, equations and ability to solve.
Logic is ability to reason.
Solving is different from reasoning. Here's a simple example of math vs. logic:
Math: Take 2 apples from three apples and how many are left? Answer: 1 apple.
Logic: Take 2 apples from three apples and how many do you have? Answer: 2 apples, 'cuz *I* took 2.
Mathmatically, you'd want to say 1 apple, but then you have to counteract with logic and think about the wording of the question.
How many do *I* have, vs how many are left. *I* took 2; 1 on the lable is *left.*
Does this help?
Everyone: Oh yeah, Chapter 13's now up in "The Prophecy"!

The woman wanted the water to cure hiccups. The shopkeeper instead cured them by scaring her with the gun.
And math CAN be logic, in a sense. I'll explain later.
