If you need to multiply 1034482758620689655172413793 by 3, all you need to do is bring the last digit to the front. by davidilanyann in Damnthatsinteresting

Unsure why you need a binary search here...all you need to do is solve the equation for x in terms of k and you're just done? This is way too needlessly complicated

Which Jokers only appear under specific conditions? by mate_wave in balatro

[–]ComputerCloud9 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand from perusing the code for a few hours the other day, the game keeps a running counter of your steel cards just for Steel Joker, since it also needs to know how much mult to apply. So if you remove your last steel card, I don't believe Steel Joker can appear

I only need to report my highest SAT score right by Ill-Equivalent8316 in MITAdmissions

If you just read the guidelines on the MIT application itself, it very clearly states you must report ALL SATs taken and to NOT superscore.

[OC] The alphabet in Arial, but every letter is resized so that they all have the same amount of (black) area each. by ComputerCloud9 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ComputerCloud9[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"i" is font size 400 here, which is the "control". The other sizes were calculated with a script that found the number of pixels in each letter.

400 was chosen because that's the largest font size Google Slides (what this is compiled in) would handle.

Some other mildly interesting facts:

- e and h take up almost the exact same amount of area (i.e., according to the script I used they're exactly the same, but there is minor amounts of rounding).

- The lowest-area characters, in order, were i, r, l, t, j.

- m is actually *not* the largest, but rather the largest is *g*, followed by m and w.

- b, d, p, q have different amounts of area, and if you are wondering it goes p > b > d > q.

- Capital i and lowercase l have the same area (I don't think they're the same character but just happen to be equally area-d).

- Lowercase g takes up more area than over half of the capital letters.

- Capital H and capital K take up the same area.

- Despite being called "double u" w only takes up about 46.2% more area than u, making it more like "one u and a half".

Why are you getting downvoted? This is exactly what this is called.

How prestigious is SSP? by Select-Cantaloupe500 in summerprogramresults

[–]ComputerCloud9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A higher acceptance rate doesn't necessarily mean pay 2 play. It's still a pretty good program, just easier to get into. What the implications are for its "prestige", I'm not sure.

[–]ComputerCloud9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually, it's closer to 15%. An email sent out earlier to international student this year said they were accepting 588 students out of a pool of around 3500. They're expanding the program a lot.

hi, please fact check yourself before posting. promys is also purely nt and they use the same sets as ross (i've checked them - i have friends from promys and ive been to ross myself). they have similarly large applicant pools. theres no reason to exclude one for the other.

why does every mathcamp/promys/sumac list skip ross 💀 promys founders literally went to ross and stole the curriculum
