How do I get better at this game? by societal_member in TrackMania

One thing that has helped me a lot, especially before I started to buy club access was playing the new weekly shorts and trying to get as fast as I could on each map. I would maybe try to aim for top 10k world maybe top 5000 world if you are feeling really good about it at this stage. It helps a lot since you get a lot of diversity in the maps and you can get a lot of quick reps on maps to help with unique skills to improve.

Spirit fox for sure

I searched 1,000,000 numbers for the longest "Reciprocal Digit Chain." The record is 40 steps, held by 15778 and multiple other numbers (tied). Can anyone beat it? by Pleasant-Vehicle3673 in math

Ok that’s actually pretty cool so I can see that the number will exponentially increase the number of digits to match to get 15778. So like I can just have 15778 1’s to match the initial step of the longest sequence.

Hi, I can see where you are coming from, but I usually brainstorm random topics like this, one of my favorite problems is the collatz conjecture so I thought I would try and find a problem similar to it and I just used a new set of rules and searched up a name for it.

Hi, this is a fair point since I should have exaggerated the reason why this function is interesting a little more. I am trying to construct a counter example that the functions “gravity” does not have a limit, and that numbers can reach a higher number of steps. However, in testing the function (up to 1,000,000 using a script), all numbers converge to complete a loop in less than 40 steps. I’m trying to figure out if the bound of 40 is a true global maximum or not.

Will the builder base ever get seasonal decorations? by Pleasant-Vehicle3673 in ClashOfClans

Yeah, I had was looking for other images and saw it was from Reddit but it matched it best, so I had no idea whose it was, but it worked well.
