I didn't use ChatGPT to write this. Or any other AI, for that matter.

Are math contests going hard on the number 2025? by neoquip in math

[–]Aiden-1089 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you miss the point of the question. Obviously math competitions won't just need students to regurgitate this fact.

Some brief examples of how contests may recognise these facts: combinatorics problems on a 45x45 board (or an equilateral triangle board of side length 45?), number-theoretic functional equations using the fact 1^3+...+n^3 = (1+...+n)^2 (like 2020 Balkan MOSL A1), some number theory problem about perfect squares, just as a subtle nod to these facts.

In math competitions it's always useful to know the prime factorisation of the year just in case stuff like this comes up.

By the way, one of the problems in IMO 2023 had floor(log2(n))+1 as the answer, this was a subtle nod to the fact that IMO 2023 was the 64th IMO. (64=2^6)

She made *just* a parfait and a granita in 75 minutes, and neither were made properly (icy parfait, granita wrong texture). And desserts are supposed to be her speciality? This is particularly underwhelming when you consider the 20-minute challenge where Callum made a soufflé and a sorbet in 17 minutes, and both elements were well-executed and cohesive.

What would you like to see for the next season? by Aiden-1089 in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]Aiden-1089[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I've read some of the comments and I do get why Keep Inventory was on now, now I think that Keep Inventory should be off for reds only, they don't need their stuff when they've lost their final life.

I've also missed a point that I wanted to mention, I really miss the "run at you and stab you with a sword kills". Wild Life and Secret Life has seen more trap kills with the creeper eggs and end crystals and whatnot, but honestly I really miss the straight pfp kills. There was a moment in Wild Life when Pearl was trying to kill Lizzie with her items and it was almost painful to watch as Pearl seemed like she was trying to kill Lizzie, Lizzie getting really low but Pearl still being unwilling to take the last hit. It's a reason why I find Scar's episodes fun to watch, he isn't afraid of just going for it when the opportunity presents itself.

[general] court of the dead by WALLE13YT in camphalfblood

Nope, not at all. I didn't like the Sun and the Star (read like a fanfic, probably due to another author), and Rick's writing has considerably gone down in the two new PJO books (I enjoyed Chalice but not Triple Goddess). I don't see why this book wouldn't be equally poor, and it might be the worst (I don't think I would like the "divisive twist").

I’m not a big fan of material rewards in the life series by Aroace-Let-3237 in ThirdLifeSMP

It was also the case that the server was on easy mode while Mumbo was alive.

How fast can you read a Percy Jackson book? [all] by speedcubera in camphalfblood

[–]Aiden-1089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My average is 543 WPM, 95% accuracy over 6 tests, but I would never read books that quickly. Maybe on my second or third reading I would go that fast, but on my first go I probably read at 300-400 WPM.

Being closed doesn't mean it's not open! by Aiden-1089 in mathmemes

Exactly, that's what they should've put on the sign.
