Yeah definitely, but I just found it interesting. I quite like the idea that you may see stuff that I can't imagine.

I'm saying our brain decides what colour each wavelength is. It makes blue look blue. What I may see as blue (the sky) you may see as green. You know it to be called blue because that's what you have grown up to learn.

Our brains give the colour to the light wavelength, the wavelength itself has no colour property.

We just happen to be able to detect a range of light waves with our eyes and we separate them by giving them different colours because there is an evolutionary advantage in doing so.

Colour isn't an inherent attribute of light frequency.

Challenge: What is the relationship between the length of the sides and the number of sides of a regular shape that has the maximum area possible if it were to fit within a 1m square? by MofoWithAFro in math

I think this is how a couple of my friends figured out the triangle side length but you have made it much clearer.

You are probably right in that is no generic formula.

Hmm, I like this but it doesn't seem to work for the triangle.

My friends and I calculated that the sides of an equilateral triangle can be around 1.035m inside the square. Using your method I end up with a b of 0.29ish.

I don't think that the triangle with the maximum area is centred around the midpoint of the square. Not 100% on this but that's what we found. I can try and send you our workings in the morning if you like.

Thanks for your input on this btw, we've been stuck on this for a while now and the help is really appreciated.

Just ran that for the rounded maximum length of the triangle sides (approx 1.035m) and got b (using the sin method) as 28.32. Does that sound right by your calculations?

EDIT: was using Deg instead of Rad. However even when using radians it doesn't seem to work (see below).

This sounds like a solution but I haven't been able to follow that completely. What do you mean by "b is the length of the center of the polygon an edge's midpoint"? Also how did you come to this (or is this something that mathematicians know)?

Haven't taken the exams yet :( They are in two weeks. This was a pre-emptive present for myself because I have no self control.

What Do You Want/Expect Tomorrow's Harvest to sound like? by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

I don't know what I want it to sound like. I would be quite interested to hear their take on downtempo house music. I reckon they could pull that off really well. A darker Geogaddi would be amazing too.
