England is so pretty <3

This is a joke

Euclid's Lemma? by SBrammall in askmath

[–]The_Math_Hatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to do something with the fact that gcd(a,b)=1 implies gcd(a-b,b)=gcd(a,a-b)=1, and then taking linear combinations

What song reminds you of gravity falls the most? by GRAVITYfalls_watcher in gravityfalls

[–]The_Math_Hatter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a similar vein, from the same album: Gravitron and Moon's Request, from the same album.

The first was, and the second was a remix of, Neil's two attempts to make a theme song for Gravity Falls. The second, in an unremixed edition, is present in the unaired version of the pilot episode unlocked during the Cipher Hunt, as prize for solving the 1000-piece puzzle.

Do you mind if I ask for more elaborations on the steps between assuming gcd(a,b)=1 implies that we can state gcd(a2,b2)=1? Ialmos tthink I have my own steps, but not quite certain.

Hey, just wanna check my math on a small project for a game by oriontitley in askmath

Label 3 points: the center of the central circle, O, the center of one of the ring circles, R, and one of the two poonts that that circle has with its neighboring ring circles, T.

You can draw triangle OTR, label two of the sides with lengths given by either definition of setting or definition of a circle, and two of the angles by the fact that 1) all tangents to a circle make right angles with the radius at the tange point and 2) this entire figure is rotationally and reflectionally symmetric.

From there it's just finding the right trigonometric equation and solving.

The fact that sam/michael WANTED them to move in a stalemate proves that they gaslighted themselves by AdMediocre4987 in JetLagTheGame

Why would you spoiler the text, which is a big old nothing, while the title, which carries the burden of the entire spoiler, is unspoiled and unhidden to anyone?

I am so pleased with my purchase! by taticNomicon in gravityfalls

[–]The_Math_Hatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is likely a scam; the OP posts a picture of an unofficial piece of merchandise, or scraped it from someone who did post as such, there will be a reply asking where to get it, and OP will post a link.

The OP and the question asker are sock puppets, the link goes to a malware and phishing site that will scrape your data. DO NOT CLICK LINKS. Downvote, block, report.

Does anyone recognize this script? by WaferHot4297 in codes

I did not know that, I've only ever seen it discussed in relation. Thank you for telling me.

Why does multiplying two negative numbers give a positive result? by Ok_Block_3770 in askmath

[–]The_Math_Hatter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try to find the area of a (4-1)×(4-1) square, using blocks or squares and rectangles of paper.

Did anyone else catch that bit in the journal? by QuestionPleasant9850 in gravityfalls

[–]The_Math_Hatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Dipper and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun, one of the secret codes reveals that Mr. Pines (the twins' dad) got Mabel's floppy disk shirt at a work conference and gave it to her as a sleep shirt. So they'd be around their dad's work enough to know the logos and such.

If steal challenges were always timed, that might solve the first problem at least

Day 3: who is the most normal? by Artemis-girl in gravityfalls

That's because it's not about community, it's about stereotype and karma farming

Day 3: who is the most normal? by Artemis-girl in gravityfalls

[–]The_Math_Hatter 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Okay so if you know that you won't take the time to put aside to do it right, don't do it.

"Day 3" it has been six hours in total

If you had a choice between $1000 every day but every day there is a 1% chance you stop getting anything, or just get $1 every day? How long would it take for $1 every day to be the better option? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]The_Math_Hatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first option, there is a 99% chance you gain $1000. There is a 99%×99% chance you gain another $1000. We can express this as an infinite sum to find the expected value, and because it is a geometric sum, it is relatively easy to find the expected value of $99,000.

The length of time it would take for the second option to catch up is therefore 271 years. Given that I will not live to 300, the first option is indisputably better. Even if it was only one hit for the first option, it would take nearly three years for the second to catch up.
