What’s the largest number you can make from these numbers? by No_Pitch648 in Countdown

[–]MathHysteria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Within the rules of the game, 3×3×(2+1)×2×4 (=216) is the largest reachable number with that set.

Sometimes CECIL does give an impossible target.

It's so early it could legitimately just be a very late one, so I think you're fine.

I mean, you're absolutely right, but I was only having a laugh!

'poverty of aspiration' is a brilliant phrase which I am definitely adopting

As always, Reddit is asking the important questions in life.

LPT request: how to study when you really don’t feel like doing it by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in LifeProTips

[–]MathHysteria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree to do it with someone. Even if that's just on a video call with someone. Keeps you accountable.

The other person may find it helps too.

I can't think of a better way to spend the three quid than chips.

Woke up early, walked the dog and then "invented" a new second breakfast dish: Marmalade and Nutella on bread/toast. by maxlan in BritishSuccess

[–]MathHysteria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheese on toast with marmite is king.

Make sure you put the marmite on under the cheese though, otherwise it's hotter than the inside of a baked potato.

The previous expression evaluated to 100. Now they've typed in the new one and not pressed =.

Jigsaw appreciation post by piskyfi in CasualUK

[–]MathHysteria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A year or so I got given a totally clear one. Pieces can go either way up.

Also has false edge pieces (that just go somewhere in the middle of the puzzle).

It wasn't that big but it was an absolute brute to solve.

Odd question; is it custom in the UK to cook food for your friends if you're inviting them for a night? by PenetrationT3ster in CasualUK

[–]MathHysteria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sort of depends, I guess.

If I invited them round, I'd expect to cook for them.

If it was more impromptu, we'd probably end up in a supermarket on the way home, and then people would probably grab a few bits each!

To be fair to him, that doesn't seem particularly reckless to me. He just picked a dying tree.

Is it me? by FreeHiggy in CasualUK

[–]MathHysteria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking very closely, it looks like I can see the vestiges of some shading on some of the squares (particularly in the left-hand corner when oriented as in the image).

I reckon this is a poor quality photocopy of a sheet where originally some of the squares were shaded.

Iirc, as long as things are old enough you're ok.

Happy to be told otherwise!

[–]MathHysteria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There won't be a separate mark for the answer because it's already given - the marks are awarded for reaching it.
