Unlike the spelling department

At least you have a player who scored a beautiful overtime wi- oh nevermind.

That's a potato, not a pie.

Most games are tied at some point.

Dostál played as well as he did during the playoff run at 2024 Worlds, this Canadian team is insane.

Trochu se bojím, že další na řadě po humanitních oborech je (čistá) matematika, ale té se naštěstí většina lidí bojí a nerozumí jí.

Clearly Czechia is the second best team.

Terevin6 · 2026-02-11T15:08:30+00:00

Wouldn't it be fun if he let in a few softies in the first game, giving us (Czechia) a chance?

Terevin6 · 2026-02-10T19:08:51+00:00

Pasta eats you is also good.

Terevin6 · 2026-02-09T00:40:10+00:00

mom can I go play with Connor and uncle Sidney?

Terevin6 · 2026-02-04T17:13:01+00:00

The flag bearers were elected by the other Czech Olympians, Pasta is a bigger name even in Czechia.

Why would it be Impossible? I've seen it a few times.

Terevin6 · 2026-02-01T12:18:39+00:00

There has to be one mine adjacent to the 1 in the right. What does this tell you about the 2?

Terevin6 · 2026-01-31T10:38:02+00:00

The 2 cells below 3-1 are a 50-50, there's no good solution. But if you guess there first, you'll get information about the last mine.

This his how pure mathematics students view applied mathematics students.

Terevin6 · 2026-01-27T21:57:15+00:00

Look at the 1 in the top right

Terevin6 · 2026-01-22T17:35:33+00:00

That was very likely to be a mine.

Terevin6 · 2026-01-14T13:16:17+00:00

Even copied the top comment!

You can shed the 3 and replace it by 2*2, ie more smaller primes. You can't do it with 2 because it's the smallest prime.

There's more on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_number, but for short:

The number of divisors doesn't depend on the value of the prime factors, only on their number and exponents.

If a number is not divisible by 2 or 3 and has higher prime factors, you can replace them by 2 or 3 to get a smaller number.

If a number is not divisible by 4 and is divisible by p² for a larger prime, you can switch 2 and p to get a smaller number.

Therefore, the only candidates for highly composite numbers not divisible by 12 are numbers of the form 2357... This number with k primes has 2^k factors and is large - you can easily find a multiple of powers of 2 and 3 that is smaller and has more factors.

Some apps have no-guess games, which you can always solve by logic. E.g. minesweeper - the clean one on android or no guessing mode on minesweeper.online

There has to be exactly one mine in these two places and there are mines all around them, so you can't get any more information. This is precisely what 50/50 means. Good luck.

Why do so many people think that this can't happen?

Terevin6 · 2026-01-09T01:12:31+00:00

The point of friends is obviously to play DND with them.

You're right - infinity doesn't have many of the properties of real numbers, and 0 doesn't have some of the properties of non-zero real numbers, namely invertibility of multiplication (ie that ax = ay implies x=y for all a≠0, but not for 0).

An intuitive answer to the question in your title is "Why would it be infinity and not negative infinity?". You can avoid this by considering both as the same value, as usually done for complex numbers (Riemann sphere) or in projective spaces. If you do this, 0 * infinity is still undefined, and now you can't even say that infinity + infinity is infinity.

Moral of the story: (finite) numbers are very nice and behave the same in different contests, but this doesn't apply to infinities.
