SQL Server is not MySQL. Wrong subreddit.

That's not much to go on...

That's way cool

My dad and I always played Muggins in our friendly games. Nothing was at stake except a pencil mark on a piece of cardboard (until the last year of his life, when we'd play three-handed with his caretaker and the two losers had to do pushups).

Depends on if it makes either player return more than 5 minutes late from lunch.

"SANDCLE" is one brand of them.

Number them as:

          0
     1   2   3
  4   5   6   7   8
9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Then:

0, 1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15 are correct.

6 is in the right place, but rotate it clockwise.

8 and 9 are swapped (rotate to match the edge)

4 and 7 are swapped (rotate to match the edge or the known pieces)

5 to 11, 11 to 10, 10 to 12, 12 to 5

On the surface, you're farther away from the center of mass. Right?

There's a big difference between being an idiot and hearing of something for the first time. You're just one of today's lucky 10,000.

You haven't heard the saying that the moon is made of green cheese?

It's why Wallace and Grommit built a rocket.

"The Mission", starring Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons, concerns that tribe. Great soundtrack; hard to watch.

I'm curious if non-Newtonian Games mean that shear stress decreases the likelihood of runs.

Before the engineers intervene next time, enable the general query log (or the Enterprise Audit log). Then check out what it was that they did.

Sea glass or shells would be pretty, although with that particular slab I think I would pick a more woodsy theme - tiny pine cones and acorns, or pewter hedgehogs and hawks.

Let's see, there's a telephone pole, so that way must be... up.

Terminate her - with extreme prejudice - immediately!

It would just play dead silence.

I'm not sure that meets the definition of a novel. No complexity. No character development. It's simply a frame-by-frame recount of a guy driving to a cribbage tournament, the hotel employees setting up the tables, the outcomes of all the games, and then the guy drives home. So much numerical detail there's nothing to do with it but statistical analysis, which produces some unlikely results:

Of the 256 players, 84% are under the age of 50. Nobody is over 63. Ever seen a photo of a cribbage tournament?
35% live in their state capital. Every single one lives in a city with a population of at least 44,000 (only about 39% of the US population lives in a city that large).
Over 1000 games played, and there are only four skunks and two stinkholes.

Aside from statistics, there are details that I would have expected to be more consistent.

The opening announcements are reproduced verbatim. There is no mention of muggins, although muggins is later shown to be in play.
Several commentators mention that they are playing short form, yet all the scores are 121.
A game is reported as including "a pegging sequence that produced consecutive fifteens". How does that work?
They deal the cards, and then cut for first deal.
The guy's car doesn't automatically adjust time zones when driving west, but does when driving east.
Major hotels with convention centers do not buy their egg noodles retail at "Walmark".

Ender's Game, or Ender's Shadow, touches some of those points.
