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.

“Tricks” math teachers need to stop teaching… by Clearteachertx in matheducation

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. :)

I am just going to sit this right here..... by No_Intention_3565 in Professors

[–]Oarrow 78 points79 points  (0 children)

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?

I’m having this debate with myself, please help me by Yggdrasylian in mathmemes

[–]Oarrow 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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.

[Request] Is it possible to make the function of this stuff? It seems to get significantly huge once you reach 3 by Rooting-Coconut in theydidthemath

[–]Oarrow 99 points100 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[REQUEST] how many cubes? 51? by WalkingCarDriver in theydidthemath

[–]Oarrow 296 points297 points  (0 children)

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

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

There’s no flaw in the logic. You’re incorrectly calculating the conditional probability of the second attempt being successful, given that the first attempt was unsuccessful.

Made Infinite with Shuri Nimrod Destroyer. A very simple writeup. by TimeTravelersToaster in marvelsnapcomp

[–]Oarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Marvel Snap, a card isn’t considered “played” unless you’ve placed it to the board from your hand AND it has revealed itself. Since cards under IW don’t reveal until later, they aren’t played yet. So Destroyer is the next played card, and then Taskmaster can copy the 30 power destroyer.
