i like you all

 

why haters?

[Nero]

Was an entertaining read, but I honestly can't quite fathom why Hex being around was such a big deal to some people.

 

Anyways, standard fanfare - grow up and next time try and treat others with a shred of decency.

I feel we all are needed for a full Tavern, though I keep mixing up Paul and Dungeonal (because I don't feel like I really know you two), and Pieis an Icu (because of similiar avatars and sigs) as of resent. Do not that is only when skimming through posts though.

[Nexaduro]

Ah, never was much of a fish man myself. Always preferred land meat. Like steak. Yum.

Same here.

 

I may or may not be fatally allergic to seafood but I've never tried it before and it runs in my family and I don't eat birds because birds are nice and taste like chalk which-

 

*GASP*

 

I hate because it makes me cringe and nail clippers do the same thing because I never use them and it just feels wrong oh and the same with nail files

Also same here. I can't stand fish D: The smell alone... eeww! The only fish I'll eat is my mom's swordfish. It doesn't smell fishy and tastes more like chicken imo.

 

And well done steak > rare steak

[Retech]

So many evil fish haters!

 

Land meat is much unhealthier for you. Also, you probaly couldn't survive a day in Japan. :ohnoes:

[The_Mather1]

I eat any meat with the exeption of shellfish, amphibians, crusteans and invertibrae.

As an exeption to what I do not eat I think squid tastes ok even though it's an invertibra.

[Seraphi]

Bambi stew tonight.

 

I'm not making it this time though.

 

I love fish, too.

[The_Mather1]

No meat except mammalian can beat some cold, smoked Norwegian salmon.

[Icuownage]

I think we need to get a RP going. I was thinking of setting one in victorian times, and we all just be either overlly rich peeps or extremely poor street dwellers. I dunno.

[The_Mather1]

I've made a quite, well not funny, but awesome pic:

Sorry for the double post, but how come two finite values calculated in a valid manner result in an infinite value, but not a value of infinity?

Also how can a constant be infinite while infinity is a variable as it is bigger than itself?

[a_bert]

i think everyone should buy civ 5 and then we should play a game together when its released >:3

Welcome to Calculus. Where an infinite and an undefined value can be combined and result in a defined value.

 

Also, to which finite values do you refer? If it's limestone and Planepacked, I don't know the answer.

[The_Mather1]

Can someone here post the exact answer to 10/3 without rounding or answering with another formula?.. I think not.

[Jehosaphat]

Three point three repeating.

 

And here I thought you were going into something interesting.

[The_Mather1]

Still, it is odd how an infinite number can be a finite value.

 

Also you basically said this: 3.3... which is not an exact number.

First, the number itself is not infinite - after all, it never goes above 3.4. it just has an infinite limit.

Second, 10/3 is a rational value, not a numeric or integer value. Rational values aren't always definable when written as anything other than ratios. Otherwise, I'd be asking you to define 10/0, and either you'd end up babbling like a moron or making the universe implode.

[The_Mather1]

I can be answered as 0x∞ or 0^∞. If said the value would pretty much be infinite vacuum, a result without both boundaries and value.

[Retech]

If I recall, anything multiplied by zero is zero.

 

 

 

Here's a math problem for everyone (mainly for people taking calculus)

 

 

Sum the reciprocals of all numbers which are divisible by 2 and/or 3, but not another prime number. Express as a whole number or as a simplified fraction. Cookie for anyone who solves. If no one figures it out (with a decent reasoning on how you solve it!) then I'll eat the cookie myself. :-X

 

Think hard! :-k :-k :-k

[The_Mather1]

Up to what?

[Retech]

Infinite. You can use the reciprocals of as many numbers as you want, provided that they meet the rule stated in the problem.

 

 

 

The answer is not infinite btw.

[The_Mather1]

0.5, 0.333..., 0.25, 0.1666..., 0.111..., 0,08333..., 0,0625, 0,0555..., 0,04545..., 0,041666..., 0.0384615385, 0.03125, 0.0303030..., 0.0294117647058824, 0.02777...

That's up to 36.

[Retech]

I don't understand what you mean by "up to 36."

 

 

You don't need to use a calculator though.

[Seraphi]

Phew, glad I dropped maths.

 

The maths that I need for physics is easy enough, but when I look at a board full of stuff like SURDs I just end up going "Bwuh..?" and learning nothing.
