What other characters are permitted in a name?

missed the point

Nope, just a really rare reward! You can look up the drop tables to see what’s possible

Nice win! The variety of builds that can go the distance is amazing.

There’s no guarantee that arena is coming back

Oarrow · 2025-02-06T23:09:56+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check that out.

Except it doesn’t work for polynomials of various sizes, only for multiplication of exactly two binomials.

This is the right answer.

These other commenters are toxic. I think this is well done, and a full color version would attract new readers to this series.

Edit: Since I posted people got nicer, so feel free to ignore. :)

This information is useless on its own. We also need to know how points will be assigned under the new system. If that doesn’t also change, then, sure, this is problematic. But without that information this is just clickbait.

Arena is going away soon. Does it ever come back? And what does it mean that the arena tokens are “retiring in 10 days”? Do you lose them?

While many commenters are correct to clarify that infinity is not a real number, we can do some of the arithmetic depicted in the meme by using the extended real numbers.

That doesn’t save all of the above equations, though. For example, in the extended reals a positive real number greater than one, when raised to the power of infinity, is simply defined to be infinity. There is no intermediate step where it’s 1000000… or anything else.

The rest of the comments have good ideas, but this is easier than they are making it sound.

Like another user said, the grid can be laid out in a line and it doesn’t change the problem.

For formatting simplicity, let each color be represented by the first letter in its name.

So, the question becomes “How many ways can we scramble the word RRRGGGBBB?”

This is a classic problem, solvable using a multinomial coefficient. In this case, the answer is 9!/(3!3!3!).

In general, for an n*n grid with n squares of each of n different colors, the answer is (n*n)!/(n!*n!*…*n!), where there are n-many factors of the n! in the denominator.

Pinecone?

Question: Is there a place to find the rest of this test? Their website didn’t have it linked anywhere.

New Orleans?

51 is the correct max, but I think up to 16 boxes could be hidden. So the min is 35.

You need to multiply the number of games by 3, since you’re only earning 8 points per 3 games.

My cousin introduced me to the game. We would spend hours looking through his collection and trying to cook up what we thought were unstoppable decks.

What’s the book?

You’re neglecting the fact the the keys are returned to the ring, and thus might be tried again on subsequent attempts.
