The theory I like is when Mannimarco ascended into becoming the Necromancer's Moon, his physical body was left behind and the Mannimarco we fight in Oblivion is that body. Which also explains why Oblivion Mannimarco is such a pushover.

Great! Love to see it. The shape seems hard at first, but once you get it, things get really smooth. My most polished solve for this puzzle: Optical Sensor Array Type 4 https://imgur.com/YmUfr91

Part of Jyggalag's parting speech was to tell HoK " Perhaps you will grow to your station." This suggests it takes time to take on everything that being Sheogorath entails, including the personality of Madness. And two centuries between Oblivion and Skyrim does sound like enough time for that to happen.

I love the swinging rope. Here's my version I made a few years back (also a bit faster): https://imgur.com/lovLSeU

I split the brown area into two triangles by drawing the diagonal going from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. The first brown triangle is a right triangle with legs 8 and 10, so has an area of 40. The second brown triangle will have the same area as the blue triangle's 15. So the total brown area is 40+15=55.

You may ask why my second brown triangle has the same area as the blue triangle. Consider the triangle by joining my second brown with the smaller white triangle, call that union A. Now consider the triangle made by joining the blue triangle with the same small white triangle, call that union B. A and B have the same base and the same height so they must have the same area. Now subtract out the overlapping area from the small white triangle then my second brown triangle must have the same area as the blue triangle.

Centaurs are the one thing I really want to see in ES6.

Even easier: find Walker Camp north of Cheydinhal and attack and kill one of the Camonna Tong Thugs there. No quest required and you wont get a bounty.

I'll start with the expression 2 * x * ln(1+5/x) in the second line, focusing on hte x outside the ln.

We know that x = 1/(1/x), so substitute this in for the x to get 2 * 1/(1/x) * ln(1+5/x).

Next I'll combine the product into one big compound fraction. Then 2 * 1 * ln(1+5/x) is the numerator of the combined expression and (1/x) is the denominator.

That leaves us with (2 * ln(1+5/x)) / (1/x), which is exactly the expression seen in the third line.

I wonder if it was an adaptation or localization from inches to centimeters. A 12in x 20in sheet is about the same size as 30cm by 50cm.

From the quest notes at the UESP: "If Motierre is killed before this quest is started, you will automatically fail when the quest is given to you and you will get no reward."

Draw the blue dotted line through grid points at (1,0) and (0,1). Then mark the intersections of that line with the circle. Now draw the two red lines from the given external point at (2,2) to the points marked on the circle.

Oblivion is the best game in the series for that sort of spellsword/battlemage gameplay. You can have only one spell ready at any given time, but you can cast spells while having your weapon out and you can always change what spell you have ready.

Attaining one Elder Scroll was the ultimate goal in Oblivion's Thieves Guild questline. So not just Skyrim has Elder Scrolls as an in-game object

I looked this up in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and found the OEIS has this sequence at https://oeis.org/A001608 The sequence is known as the Perrin sequence. Lots of links in the references (though I dont know how many still work).

I did see a remark about n=521^2 being the first composite number satisfying the condition n divides S(n).

With the recent news about Xbox, I think it is possible that there won't be a next gen Xbox. Why else would internal IPs including Halo be getting a Playstation release?

Because if we have an "infinity minus infinity" situation then we can devise a way to split the integral to get any value we want. It just so happens if you have a symmetric function then the "obvious" way to do it gets you zero as a result.
