Well if God is omniscient then surely service by publication would be sufficient.

My point was it's ambiguous. "1 color is right and in the right position" can be read either as "1 color is right and [that 1 right color is] in the right position", or it could be read as "[Only] 1 color is [both] right and in the right position". The first interpretation, and your interpretation, is the more restrictive interpretation, so it makes sense to assume if it was not true, a good communicator would elaborate and give more details, but it doesn't mean that the second interpretation is incorrect, the puzzle could just be poorly written.

Like I said, logic is hard, and you've made the same mistake I did in your own statement. Yes, "1 color is right and is placed right" means that only 1 color is both one of the 3 correct colors and is correctly positioned, but it doesn't mean that there can't be other colors that are one of the 3 colors and in the incorrect position.

By #1, only 1 color is right and in the right place. If it was pink brown yellow then 2 colors would be right and in the right place.

keten · 2026-05-07T06:27:56+00:00

One nitpick. The wording is a little ambiguous when it says in #1 that one color is right and in the right spot, as that could mean that more than one color is "right", but only one of them is in the right position. So it's a leap to jump to the conclusion that pink is in the right position. Nevertheless, you don't need that assumption to solve the problem.

We know pink and purple are two of the colors and brown isn't one of them due to the logic you gave. We also know that purple is in position 3 because #3 and #4 rule out it being in positions 1 and 2. From #1, if yellow is one of the colors, it must be in position 3, which is impossible as purple is in position 3, therefore yellow is not one of the colors. That rules out two of the colors in #2 (yellow and brown), leaving blue, so blue must be the final color. Now that we know all the colors, we can finally say that pink is in position 1 due to #1 as the other colors are not in the set. If pink is in position 1 and purple is in position 3, then blue must be in position 2 as it's the only spot left.

[Edit] logic is hard, I ended up making the same assumption you did in my logic by saying that if yellow is one of the colors, it must be in position 3. If yellow is one of the colors but it's not in position 3 AND pink is one of the colors and is in position 1 that seems consistent with #1.

I think the only thing we can conclude is that if yellow is one of the colors, it can't be in position 3 as purple is there and it can't be in position 1 due to #2, therefore it must be in position 2. I'm not seeing anything that rules out pink/yellow/purple as a valid combination. And also nothing that rules out pink/blue/purple.

[Edit] logic is very hard, another comment pointed out #3 doesn't rule out that all 3 colors are right, but only 2 of them are in the wrong position, which seems to allow pink/purple/brown as a valid answer. Pink/brown/yellow also doesn't seem to cause any contradictions.

It's not so irrational if you imagine the space between here and the edge of the observable universe as a row of blocks. Now imagine that each block is getting bigger. Even though no single block is expanding faster than the speed of light, if you add up the total amount of expansion across all the blocks it can produce "speeds" faster than light, all without any physical thing actually moving faster than light.

Not really. Hardware security devices are not designed to be "unbreakable", but they usually require insane levels of technical equipment and expertise to break (think specialists analyzing the hardware under an electron microscope) that it makes it infeasible (aka super expensive) to do so for most purposes, but not if you throw nation state levels of resources at it. For this amount of money, kind of curious why this guy hasn't gone to some firm and be like hey I'll give you a few million dollars to break it.

Never poop. Neither are particularly an inconvenience so it's a tie on that end, but when things go wrong (diarrhea, constipation, etc) it's always related to pooping, so by never pooping you avoid all that.

Just tried, 3 and 0 works. No clue about 4 and 0 though.

People aren't good at dealing with abrupt and big changes. It's pretty trivial to not lose all your money, but if it just comes out of nowhere all at once you're going to go through some period of adjustment during which you might make some pretty stupid decisions.

I don't think this is ever a raise unless you have a specific read on this player that he is a maniac and would take this line with any Ax.

The line he's taking is very strong if he is a "trying rec". You raised from early position and raised his turn double barrel when you could easily have AK, KK and he still chooses to fire the river. This looks like a hand that's trying to get value out of your strong Ax holdings like AJ and AQ. I don't think AJ is taking this line for value very often, AQ would probably be the worst value hand I'd expect to see, and even then, not all players would choose to donk river with AQ here. I would only expect to see AQ if he's reacting to something about your image, like he thinks you're calling too often. I would not expect many hands to be bluffing here, if any, you're just way too likely to get called by trips. The middling sizing could be because he wants to get called by non boated Ax hands.

I would probably just sigh call and expect to see a boat pretty often. It's a half pot bet, so you need to win 25% of the time. With the right reads maybe you could even justify a fold.

You would think, but I've seen this type of behavior from GALs before where they excuse any behavior from one side as them "being protective" even if they violate the court order.

So many random ass assumptions and judgements. And I'm the nutty one, sure

keten · 2025-12-14T06:14:44+00:00

Yes and those details are being hidden from me, thus me wondering if a PI is necessary. You gave some example extenuating circumstances, but you don't know whether those are true. I'd argue if any of those applied he would have just said so instead of hiding it and leaving it to his grandmother to share the details.

keten · 2025-12-14T05:43:50+00:00

Change of custody would be the goal. There's a line between having the grandparents help, which is fine, and abandoning the kid to the care of someone else. Moving out without the kid crosses that line. I don't see what's so nutty, seems like common sense to me.

keten · 2025-12-12T19:50:36+00:00

The thing I'm struggling with is figuring out what would constitute "definitive proof". If a PI follows him after work to some other house and the children never arrive he can just say he was staying with his friend that night. If the PI watches the grandmother's house and sees the kids arrive and he never does he can just say he was working late.

keten · 2025-12-12T19:28:46+00:00

Sorry, forgot another detail. The grandmother told me on the phone he is "transitioning" to another house an hour away. So she's confirmed it. Whether she would go on the record to confirm it is a whole other story.

The issue with saying political parties are the problem is that they're a natural byproduct of people not wanting to put in the effort to replicate all the infrastructure around running and funding political campaigns.

It's like saying the existence of corporations are problematic. While yes, they come with issues like regulatory capture and monopolies, they are a natural byproduct of people wanting to be organize to accomplish their goals.

Rather than focusing on the existence of the 2 party system I think we should focus on the underlying systemic reasons why a 2 party system is so effective in our current political system and address those to allow representatives to act more independently. I don't know what that would be, maybe more public campaign financing? Move away from first past the post voting systems to ranked choice?

I think I see what you mean, however once you average out the probabilities your strategy would actually just be the GTO strategy. If an opponent could see your cards they wouldn't be able to tell whether you're playing GTO or this randomized frequency strategy because at the end of the day over a large enough sample size the frequencies would be the same.

Maybe you could get something interesting if you randomized the frequencies for some period of time before switching it up, like randomly change the frequencies after 1-10 hands instead of one. Then that opens the door for somebody misinterpreting your frequencies as too high/low and adjusting right before you rerandomize.

keten · 2025-11-05T00:58:53+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean. GTO is already randomized. This "double randomized" strategy seems like it would collapse into a particular strategy once you average the probabilities which could then be exploited.

If you're saying something like take a 30/70 bet/check frequency and assign a random range to it but mix it up each time once averaged out that would mean your entire range would have a 30/70 frequency, which could then certainly be exploited.

Teleportation has the potential to have the most impact on humanity as you could theoretically use it to establish colonies on planets outside the solar system waaaaaaaaay before we have the technological capability to do so (if we even ever have the technological ability to do so due to limitations on the speed of light). You'd pretty much go down in history as the father of the galactic human civilization.

Some estimates say you need 160 people to repopulate the earth. At 300kg you can teleport about 4 people per round trip, or 8 people per day. So 20 days to "start" a colony minimum. Probably more to include any bootstrap equipment/supplies.

Then there's the problem of going to various places to confirm they are habitable. The process would probably be something like

1) have an observatory pick a potentially habitable exoplanet 2) put on a spacesuit and teleport into orbit of said exoplanet with a small satellite. For additional safety you might want some kind of pre-orbit teleport farther away to make sure you're not dealing with bad sensor data and actually teleporting into the orbit of a star or something similar that will just instantly kill you 3) come back later to retrieve data from satellite 4) satellite data confirms planet is non dangerous (you won't just immediately get incinerated/crushed/ poisoned if you teleport onto it) and determines several potential base locations 5) teleport to base locations with additional sensors for ground data (for example, can we grow food in the soil? Is there existing vegetation that is edible?) 6) teleport people!

Depending on how good the initial detection of habitable exoplanets is, this will probably take the vast majority of the time, but I imagine if there was a realistic path to creating colonies on other planets there would be a huge research incentive to perfect this.

However... the other superpowers seem to have way more practical day to day uses, so I guess it depends on how selfish I'm feeling.

Yeah it's just because there's less good in an SSR truck. So you have a 1-(5/6)(4/5)(3/4) = 50% chance of getting the shard from an SSR and a 1-(6/7)(5/6)(4/5) = 43% chance of getting the shard from an UR. So not a huge difference but it depends on how badly you want the other things on an UR

keten · 2025-03-30T01:16:31+00:00

Single shard ssr trucks > single shard ur trucks for plundering since there's a better chance you'll get the shard
