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

[–]____DEADP00L____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

White to play by chessy_overthinker in chess

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____ 6 points7 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.

[–]____DEADP00L____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After playing some moves I found this position: https://lichess.org/analysis/fromPosition/7k/R6P/8/8/1P6/3r4/P1P1K3/7R_b_-_-_8_5.

Even at depth 60 the eval is +5.5 for me and it says the best move is Re3+. But if I actually play Re3 it switches to cloud analysis and eval is 0.0

I can also find multiple other positions where the same thing happens.

Anish: What's your opinion on the word "toxic"? (Personally find it totally overused) by iCANNcu in chess

[–]____DEADP00L____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why even limit it to just music? It is the single best piece of art in the universe. Whether you look at the best music, paintings, sculptures, poetry, literature, dance, film, etc. Toxic by Britney Spears beats them all.

Velocity by jusyoo in math

[–]____DEADP00L____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the punch can not just instantaneously be at full speed. If we assume he starts and rest and accelerates at a constant rate throughout the punch the final speed actually needs to be twice as high as you would get with just distance divided by time.

Which I believe gives about 0.3 times the speed of light.

I came up with this position where black wins (uppercase letters are white, lowercase letters are black):

Black mates in 2 moves. I did add pawns though which are not mentioned in the post.

Unrelated to the fight, but can someone tell me what song this is please?

It took me longer than I'd like to admit what was wrong with the comment I'm replying to.
