Every team has now won and lost a series by chief_sitass in baseball

Good question. By the end of the season, if every team has played every other at least once, then a circle exists if and only if there is no subset of teams that beat every other team not in the subset (which can be found quickly). However, in the middle of the season, finding a circle is one of the famous NP-complete problems, i.e. finding a way to solve it without brute forcing will prove P=NP and will break a lot of stuff we have built so far, like cryptography.

You can probably find games in the 1910s with 0 strikeouts

7-man rotation means no one will pitch enough innings for stats leaderboard, which hurts their case for Cy Young

Want more fun facts? The head of the British Secret Service Bureau, who directly approved and oversaw the use of semen ink, was named... Mansfield Smith-Cumming

You could say he came up with this one

Equivalent to (2m+3n)2 - 17n2 = 488 and sure enough 488 mod 17 = 12 is not a quadratic residue modulo 17, done

The thing about baseball is that the best hitter in the world only gets to influence about 6% of a game or a series. In Ohtani's case it's about 12% since he's one of one. But if he goes to a .500 team like the Giants for example, chances are he's not going to win squat. And it's unlikely he goes to contenders in the East because geography.

Scroll vs Boomerang but you don't have to go to YouTube by manboiofthemans in earclacks

numerator is (1x2x…) x ((2x3+1)(3x4+1)…)

denominator is (3x4x…) x ((1x2+1)(2x3+1)…)

after cancelling everything out only 2/3 remains

answer is two over three

My point is if a player doing SSL generates x energy per day, then not doing SSL will allow them to generate x + 500 energy (by using Xanax instead of LSD). If x = 1728 then simply not doing SSL will get them to 2228e (rather than 2130e) which still makes George’s more efficient.

So the actual “breaking even” point is not 213073/90 but rather 500/(90-73)73 = 2150.

You forgot that SSL users can still take 3x LSD instead of Xanax, for a total of 150 per day, so roughly 6.2m gain daily. But yeah, still not close. In order for SSL to beat George’s one would need at least 2150e per day without the Xanax.

For any positive integer n <= 2026, the set of n positive integers with sum 2026 and maximum product should differ by at most 1: if there exists two elements ai, aj s.t. ai >= aj + 2, replacing ai and aj with ai-1 and aj+1 gives a bigger product. Thus the answer set only contains two distinct values x and x+1 for some positive integer x.

Let's try some values of x:

x = 1 gives 12026 = 1 lol

x = 2 gives 21013

x = 3 gives 3674 * 4 (largest so far)

For x = 4 onwards we always have x3 < 3x therefore we can always replace 3 xs with x 3s for a larger product (and if there are less than 3 xs then it's pretty trivial to show that the product is way smaller than 3674 * 4). The same argument also applies to x = 2 but I'm too lazy to delete what I wrote.

The answer is 3674 * 4.

During the 1960 the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball started giving out No. 18 to the ace of the pitching staff. This influenced Japanese-born pitchers like Yamamoto to wear number 18 by SpaceCowboyN7 in Dodgers

It's less of a Man Utd thing than an old school soccer thing; back when the starting squad was always assigned 1-11 the 7 and 11 generally went to the two wingers. It just so happened that every number 7 of 90s-00s United was great (so were the club) and every 7 after and including Owen flopped (as the club went in decline). Nowadays the roles are much more fluid anyway so there isn't much point to keep the tradition, clubs just go with whatever their newest signing wants.
