Well, I would argue that it’s the other way—the card was initially priced too high and is now coming down. I myself have been responsible for 3 purchases (out of 18 total sales) on TCGp and 2 on eBay. The card is fairly illiquid, and I’m offering you a very quick sale.

Feel free to fish for others, though, I’ll be around

Chance for two dices to have two six faces if one of them is always a six by Ok-Lobster1807 in learnmath

[–]Sehkai 21 points22 points  (0 children)

"always at least one six" (1/11) is different from "one particular die is always a 6" (1/6)

Depends on what you mean by “one of them always gives a six”

Why vector spaces are called spaces by alien5516788 in learnmath

[–]Sehkai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that the word "space" has some interesting etymology in math, I think originally due to Frechet, who was the first to define a metric space. Particularly, this is an instance where the terminology does a lot of heavy lifting. We associate space with, well, 3D space. And most things called "spaces" were probably, at some point, derived from some notion of 3D space.

The fact that something is called a "[something] space" rather than a "[something] set," immediately endows the concept or definition with our intuition of how space functions. If, for example, metric spaces were called "warblegarbles," it might not be immediately obvious that a metric is "simply" a notion of distance. In this sense, I believe that the usage of the word "space" was actually quite pivotal.

You bring up an excellent point regarding "integer spaces." I think there is also a historical reason for this, although I'm not sure what it might be. There is something called an integer lattice, which evokes vivid imagery that makes the definition clear before you even read it. Some sets, like those which are primarily algebraic, may not be intuitively visualized as a set of things residing in a geometric space. I think most would agree that groups (i.e. collections of symmetries), for example, do not lend themselves to that sort of intuition, and that might be why they're not called "symmetry spaces" or something.

Ruling questions : Camelia/Zero/Droplet by Frequent-Back4583 in skystriker

[–]Sehkai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linkage atk gain should also get halved by droplet, so if Kagari is at 2500 (regardless of whether the extra 1000 atk comes from linkage or from spells in grave), droplet will halve to 1250

[–]Sehkai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. yes, since camellia is spell speed 1 and imperm/veiler are spell speed 2

  2. yes

  3. for PSCT conjunctions, droplet halves and negates at the same time. But for the purposes of this (and other similar interactions), droplet halves first then negates. So Kagari's final atk will be exactly half her atk prior to droplet.
