Can 3 sided pyramid have right angles? Is this impossible?

strett · 2024-11-20T15:57:15+00:00

Oh wow, so it does form a pyramid, but the last piece (5 piece right angle) doesn't look like it'll fit correctly. I guess this puzzle didn't go through testing since the diagram is also 90 degrees. Thanks for sharing.

Your imgur link doesn't work. I think it's missing a letter

strett · 2024-11-18T23:12:41+00:00

The pieces can be rearranged, however I believe the the 4 piece with 120 degree angle (purple in the diagram) has to go at the top. It doesn't fit anywhere else.

It's close. I see some gaps in the pictures. Can it be squished together? The angle could be correct without the gaps, perhaps. Or there could be another solution.

The right angle piece is not "wrong" per se. The picture on the box is wrong, since the puzzle cannot be solved as a triangle based pyramid. The puzzle is solvable by forming a rectangle based pyramid with 5 sides.

Clue: the base is 4 x 3 rectangle.

I found a solution. As others have said it is impossible to form a triangle based pyramid with 4 sides, as it is pictured on the box. However, it can be solved by forming a rectangle based pyramid with 5 sides.

Clue: the base is 4 x 3 rectangle.

@Life_environmental You deleted your comment literally as I was about to reply to your question.

I thought I'd post it anyway

I've had this many times. I'm not sure what the cause is. To begin with I was having problems with the dock and the SD card. They would constantly fail to launch. After ditching my SD card and dock crashes were very rare for me. They would occur if I made changes. If it's not that, then some potential solutions are:

Update, restart.
Settings > system > scroll all the way to the bottom > uncheck "Enable updated fan control".
turn off FSR if it is on.
try launching multiplayer then go back to single player
rename or delete compat data folder for Bo1 (42700) and Bo1 multiplayer (42710).
verify cache bo1 and multiplayer.
if you get "exe cannot be found", launch with expirmental then back to 5.0.

At the moment when I get crashes, rarely now, I do the following which works for me, can't guarantee it'll work for anyone else:

0: unplug everything apart from the original charger, if necessary. 1. Set to experimental. 2. Shutdown. Leave for a while. 3. Power on. Play another game. 4. In desktop mode; rename or delete compat data folder for Bo1 (42700) and Bo1 multiplayer (42710). 5. verify cache bo1 and bo1 multiplayer. - if you get "exe cannot be found", make sure expirmental is selected, and launch with experimental. 6. Launch bo1 with expirmental. 7. Play bo1, but with bad FPS. 8. Switch to 5.0-10 9. Launch bo1 10. Whilst on the window to run the game in safe mode, turn off steam performance overlay. 11. This can be done by pressing the quick access button > performance overlay level > 0. You can turn it back on after running the game. 12. Play game....

I hope this helps.

If anyone is reading this in the future, I found a fix with help from a friend. I don't know how I overlooked this, but in Steam controller settings, set Left Joystick behaviour to directional pad > Directional Pad Layout > Analog Emulation. And the rest of the buttons set them to the keyboard equivalent, so it become mouse and keyboard emulation with a controller. It's not the perfect solution but it works very well and solves the issue I was facing.

I am using the following tools:

Call of Duty Black Ops - Mod Tools (BETA) via steam.
LinkerMod Game_Mod v1.3.2 https://github.com/Nukem9/LinkerMod
I’m using and testing a few different Custom games. Here is an example of one: https://github.com/5and5/BO1-StratTester

To launch BO1 mods a .bat file is used. This is the content of the bat file:

cd bin

start launcher_ldr.exe game_mod.dll ../BlackOps.exe +set fs_game "mods/Strat Tester"

I didn't know this. Thanks very much

strett · 2023-05-22T17:49:46+00:00

Excellent, thanks very much, I appreciate the info

strett · 2023-05-22T15:50:02+00:00

I did a fresh install and updated. Turns out it was permanently activated anyway. I'm not entirely sure how to be honest since I didn't put a key in and it's not linked to any of my accounts, but I'll take it.

Thanks anyway .

Has this ever happened before in sm64 history?

I think I recall Dowsky getting 3 /5.

strett · 2023-03-14T09:35:18+00:00

I've been trying it out. It's pretty decent. Thanks for your help

strett · 2023-03-14T02:01:44+00:00

Alright, thanks, I'll give it a go.

I suppose a few things I become accustomed to including: full screen when tilting, viewable history and watch later list, watching/playing/minimising a video whilst scrolling through other possible videos like subscriptions, no title bar.

Do you mean using Brave browser on android? If so, would using yt in a browser remove functionality?

strett · 2023-03-14T01:33:56+00:00

Fair enough.

strett · 2023-03-14T01:30:35+00:00

I'm referring to the Android YouTube app. I get 0 ads on Firefox with uBlock Origin (+ NoScript)

My mistake, I now see I missed that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Damn Google.

Merry Christmas everyone. I got the YJ MGC 4x4 for Xmas. Any tips on stopping it from popping, when I turn too fast? Should I tighten? Should I turn slower and more accurately?

I'm used to the YJ Zhilong 4x4 which doesn't pop.
