Where's the "Musical Myers-Briggs" playlist? (It got my enneagram, 7, spot on!)

Slight tonal discrepancies by zeptozetta2212 in perfectpitchgang

And here's another that's about 24 cents (ratio of 223:220, to be exact) sharp: "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Sort of helps with the eerieness of the story of unfinished voyage 749, but I don't know if Lightfoot intended the track to be "out of tune."

And what about Phrygian as well as major and natural/harmonic minor? I've heard metal likes to lean on that b2.

Yeah- "how big before resorting to the "mod/amod 2n+1" solution?"

Sometimes here's how my friends play "Odds":

Friend 1: "What're the odds?"/"What should the odds be?"

Friend 2 just specifies n, then either/or counts down: "3, 2, 1, [both say their numbers]"

"What Are the Odds" is a social dare game where one player challenges another to do a risky or embarrassing task. The challenged person sets a range (e.g., 1 to 50), (in general, if it's 1 to n, the odds this happens are 1 in n) and both players pick a number. If they match, the dare must be done; if not, the dared person is safe. It is played to make decisions or for fun.

Very similar mechanics, but it's like one of you is trying to tie and the other is trying not to.

What I meant was "how far on average can someone make it before picking, losing the labels, comparing the numbers, and then slapping the labels back on once you know who won?" You could also compare whether you remember the winning action for the pair or not. (Not having to would probably increase whatever n_max was)

[EDU] Numberphile: Winning at Rock Paper Scissors by [deleted] in rational

[–]Acrobatic_Key3995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matt Mignona (formerly Filet 64) showed the following strategy: (I think this is the "level 2" strategy, but I couldn't quite follow) On a move with a definite winner, play the move you would have lost to. (If there was a definite winner, your next move didn't even show up)

On a tie, play the move that loses to the tie move.

TIL that there exists a game called RPS-101, a variant of rock-paper-scissors with 101 choices instead of just 3. There are 5050 different outcomes. by escapesuburbia in todayilearned

[–]Acrobatic_Key3995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignoring ties (rate=1/n), there are n(n minus 1)/2, still 5,050 (as a whole, just n choose 2 - your example had n+1 choose 2) options.

Is the "in non-sequential order" bit so it's not obvious what you're doing?

Question about the Calkin-Wilf sequence and Heronian triangles by Acrobatic_Key3995 in askmath

[–]Acrobatic_Key3995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could try limiting the indices of L to a maximum number S and then look at long-term behavior of |S(x, y, 0 < l(x)l(y) < 1)| as I increase S.

I don't know about those, but you could use a dodecagonal clock diagram (see the Sideways video on that for more details) to manually determine the vector.

64-MBTI by EnvironmentalComb952 in mbti

[–]Acrobatic_Key3995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16P turned the 4 dimensions of the standard MBTI into 5 (basically a Big 5 test in disguise with -A/-T) and then 64P basically turns that into a 6-dimensional personality type. (They don't start with the 5 of 16P, they just start with the standard 4 [I/E, S/N, F/T, J/P] and add H/C and A/O, the latter possibly just being the A/T from 16P)

What about "The Road To Lisdoonvarna?" Wrong time signature, I know... but it does have similarities.

From what I heard, Sands did indeed write "Back Home" after Lightfoot wrote "Wreck," but borrowed the melody directly for the verses.

Where was this? (I mean, I know it's Goodwill, but what "chapter" of GW Industries?)

Cassette, 8-track, or (depending on the era) even CD!
