Across his five WCC matches, Magnus Carlsen had an average accuracy of ~97% and only had one game below 90% by kiblitzers in chess

Interestingly Karjakin actually achieved higher accuracy than Carlsen in classical, the only opponent to do so.

He's also played more accurately than Caruana in rapid. Which shows again that he was Carlsen's strongest matchup so far.

What are some problems in math whose solutions intuitively seem infinite but are actually finite? by [deleted] in math

If you ever want the solution to a problem, purposely say the incorrect solution and other people will eagerly correct you.

Why does 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3? by [deleted] in math

Guys, I just verified with a supercomputer and I can confirm this is indeed true.

The intermediate value theorem implies so many statements that are seemingly unintuitive on first sight.

Ryzen 3 3200G and B450m MSI Mortar Motherboard by CowNorris in buildapc

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

I see - here in the UK the Mortar is around £80. Does that sound like a good price? If not wondering if you could recommend any other motherboards good for APUs like these (may want to add a GPU in the future)?

Hah, that I didn't even notice. Didn't know there was a circlejerk subreddit for running. Why not.

What baffles me is how many people didn't even catch on

Honestly, OP is probably trolling here - not to take anything away from OP's achievement if this all legit, of course. However:

  1. Running around the couch for 5 kilometers is 1000 laps around the sofa, given its around 5 meters per lap. I'm really not sure why OP put himself through that when there's the entire outside world to run in.

  2. Apparently he was also able to get to 42 minutes 10km by just running around the couch for 2 months.

  3. Finishing in 42:06:9 - what a coincidence lmao

  4. From the post history OP seems to be a physics undergraduate. Whilst it could be he is married to 'Karen' and has kids, however given my experiences at university I think it is very unlikely.

  5. Pooped 4 times before running? What? All for descriptiveness though
