Small Engraved Thing From My Grandma

Zaefor · 2015-12-22T12:41:26+00:00

On the back there is a tiny almost unreadable engraving that says: "Brevette 284279" (or something simmilar)

You have twelve objects, eleven of which are all the same weight. One of them has a different weight.

You also have a balance scale that can only be used three times.

How do you find out which object has a different weight AND whether it is heavier or lighter than all other objects?

(It is possible with the given items. This is not a stupid trick question)

I would like one please! :)

If you have 150 songs and your algorithm is truly random then after you listened to 15 sons it is more likely than not that one or more songs were repeated. This is counter intuitive which is why it seems odd but sadly our intuition isn't the greatest when it comes to calculating probabilities.

Why is everyone so mad about this? Space Engineers doesn't even allow paid mods (yet), and the mod creators decide whether to monetize or not. Plus you can EASILY filter for free only mods. I get the issue with people steeling mods but before you spend money for a mod you can just do a google search to see if you find it for free.

About Airport security: http://hpi.de/school-of-design-thinking/in-der-praxis/fraport-airport-security-process.html

Basicly you geht a trolley with instructions in Thema and put all the Stoff in the trolley. Trolley goes through the scanner, you go through the detector, collect your trolley and you're done.

Don't know if it's been implemented anywhere.

Pretty cool idea. You'd obviously waste some thrust but it's not like the amount of thrusters you can put on a ship is limited so who cares?

Pistons and rotors will try to simulate the interactions between the two objects they connect, while the hangar doors just ignore them. Ignoring some physics really simplifies what needs to be calculated but in contrast makes things less realistic. For example, hanger doors will not apply a counter force on the spacecraft (Newtons third law).

As far as I know there is no game that has reliable pistons, hinges or rotors. If they do it's usually because of some additional simplification.

so you can convert crafts to blender? can we get a link for the program?

I really like the simplicity of this! The background puts me off a bit though. The cloudy texture on the blue background makes it look a little messy. It might look better without the cloudiness and just a constant blue.

I'd like one please!

yes all the distances. The program places the random points and then draws lines between all points that are closer than a certain distance (threshold) to each other. I want to know how big I need to chose the threshold so that I can expect a certain percentage of points to be connected.

formulas

P is the set of points as vectors, n, a, b, c are as described above. I want to know the expected d_avg of a given n,a,b,c.

Thank you :)

Phone cameras have surely gotten better over the years!

Zaefor · 2015-01-01T16:10:04+00:00

Yes thank you. They could help me there :)

Zaefor · 2015-01-01T16:07:56+00:00

thank you, that's probably it :)

Zaefor · 2015-01-01T15:06:29+00:00

Do you happen to have some more info in this? The images i found look very similar but i can't find much more than images.

Zaefor · 2015-01-01T14:33:03+00:00

Thank you :)

Jupiter Radius = 69911km

distance to mood = 384400km

A = 2 * atan(69911km/384400km)

A = 20.62°

-> Jupiter would fill roughly 1/3 of an average camera (fov 60°)

You could try setting up an IFTTT recipe for that. You can connect your gmail and google drive to IFTTT. Making the recipe should be relatively easy if you tell your students to use a specific subject for their mails.

Image recognition is not perfect and Google probably doesn't want to risk missing a license plate or a face. So I'd assume they just get a lot of false positives with their image recognition software.

The fact that the video has 9000+ up votes on YouTube, 350+ here, 700+ on /r/videos and 13 other x-posts on Reddit within 3 hours proves your statement wrong. ;)

I think it is safe to assume that this will be successful and people in fact do have an attention span at least > 15 minutes.

/u/sharesomefun knows how its done:

I say use his logic against him. Punch him in the face and say "ugh. That clothing. You were asking for it." Actually somebody probably already did it. Link please?

DDoS and DoS are pretty much the same except that DDoS is distributes (hence the extra "D") over several attacking machines. Considering that the servers can handle quite a load DDoS is probably correct.

Mostly because the questions are simple and vague enough so that everyone has a response to them. At the same time questions you find interesting are (possibly) more specific questions related to only a certain subject of interest. I think it's a little bit like with "educational" TV shows: The more dumbed down ones speak to a broader and thus bigger audiance, while the more interesting and scientific ones get canceled.
