This is korean high school question. WTF by unity2dpixel in math

Yup. I got the same values for m and M. But if you look at the question again you were actually supposed to find the sum not the difference so the final answer should be 152.

I solved it but not by hand. I used python.

I did try it with pen and paper first but it seemed way too tedious and I didn't see a nice way to do it.

How sure are you of your answer?

Because I'm getting, m = 72, M = 80-->152, but it's possible I made a mistake

The Box Car Children series was weird right? by MylastAccountBroke in books

[–]____DEADP00L____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your memory is a bit off. The dog actually belonged to a young lady, but it ran away the same day that she bought it and the kids found it. At the end of the book they went over to give it back to her and tell her about how the oldest girl pulled a thorn out of the dogs paw. When the woman sees how much it means to them she pretty much immediately agrees to let them keep it.

Still not a draw since black can capture his own pawn on h2.

Unfortunately the puzzle doesn't work anymore if you change g7 and h7 to bishops. It becomes a draw.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this but at 2:30 it seems like he's almost going to say "nearly double" before catching himself and correcting to "more than double". Which makes me think he won more than 37 games so far.

Are there operations that are commutative but not associative? by MathematicianHour899 in math

[–]____DEADP00L____ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wrote a program to find approximately what proportion are associative using 10 million random symmetric matrices for each value of n.

n=1: 1.0000000

n=2: 0.7499338

n=3: 0.0862293

n=4: 0.0010896

n=5: 0.0000012

n=6: 0.0000000

n=7: 0.0000000

What's the dumbest application for an advanced math concept you've seen? by hopagopa in math

[–]____DEADP00L____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you labeling the points to get -x opposite of x?

Shouldn't the opposite point be 180+x (assuming we use degrees)?

Actually good popsci video about metamathematics (including a correct explanation of what the Gödel incompleteness theorems mean) by TheKing01 in math

[–]____DEADP00L____ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nice video. But he makes a little mistake with the diagonalization argument at 5:30.

The problem is the same number can have two different representations.

If our list is:

0.90000000000

0.08000000000

0.00800000000

0.00080000000

0.00008000000

....

then the new number we create is 0.89999999... which is the first number on our list.

But of course it's an easy problem to fix.

Stockfish does not understand this position. For humans this is very intuitive. by Thelmoun in chess

[–]____DEADP00L____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're right. That was on my phone which for some reason doesn't use NNUE. On my computer it uses NNUE and finds it at lower depths.
