I read that n.korea
said it wasn.t them.
the usa news even
shows an air pic where
kids learned
computers.

I think Dennis Kucinich
is more peaceful
than Barack O.

le français parais calme.
j essais apprendre plus français.

ask a clam about life.  clams are animals without a central processor.

hi pari.alf
a zero and a seven
have been drawn with
an extra crossing line
on the character.

I use dots on ones and zeros
in my personal notes.  I put the
dot on the center of the one or zero.

the dot product div length product = cosine(angle) in 3d.  angles between edges of cube from center are 60 degrees to closest edge.  because of the hex ring on an angle,  multiples of 60 are also there.

so we have inadvertently changed
from hex angles to our familiar
orthogonal angles.  And now that
i recall, the articles on fcc try to
show a cube on an angle! 
so to do this problem of how many
combiations, we can just concentrate
on the geometry of the edges on a cube
and forget any dimensions and lengths
as it is perfectly symmetrical and easy
now...

#35 Re: Help Me ! » Combinatorics - How many unique ways to put marbles on vertices » 2014-08-13 14:58:53

used pythagoreans to verify center ball is right size and its the same as other 12.
so now all u need for your model is a
rubiks cube or any nice cube shape.
all u have to do is realize that the
6 ball ring is simply at a 45 degree
angle on a rubiks cube so just use
the twelve edge pieces to work
out the problem.  and now computers
can be used even easier!

#36 Re: Help Me ! » Combinatorics - How many unique ways to put marbles on vertices » 2014-08-13 14:43:07

i think i got the platonic solid.
its a cube with the eight corners
cut off exactly halfway from edge
to edge!!!!  so u get eight triangles
and six square sides.  My brother
tipped me off on this solution
because at UPS where he works
he spins boxes by opposite corners
to see the six sides.  but we also
see the six edges cut in half.  our
benzenr six ring!!!!

#37 Re: Help Me ! » Combinatorics - How many unique ways to put marbles on vertices » 2014-08-13 13:31:08

i think there are four center planes with the benzene ring around the center.  when u can visualize these planes, then you can reduce permutations by mentally checking all four planes.    also a savvy algorithm might be programmable for 2^12 reduction...

#38 Re: Help Me ! » Combinatorics - How many unique ways to put marbles on vertices » 2014-08-13 13:12:09

i think the best bet is to get some marbles and superglue to make a 13 piece solid.  i.m getting the feeling that there are triangles and rectsngles in this irregular platonic solid.  funny since its the densest.

on monday june 23rd, i saw a skinny crescent moon, waning to knowledge.

i.m on an android cell phone using the forum.  google chrome app logs in good.  opera mini broeser requires fiddling to get in so ffar undefinrd.

#47 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Weeks of the Seasons » 2014-05-19 11:22:33

we're in the ninth week of spring now. 
i am guessing the seasons are based on the elliptical orbit which i ignore.

#48 Re: Help Me ! » Is this correct? » 2014-03-31 04:59:30

I think a relation is the input value and the output value, if not more data than two entities, I'm not sure, plus the way they are interconnected.  Wolfram Alpha says something about two things...

#49 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Moon sightings » 2014-03-08 08:23:14

Two minutes ago, I just saw a perfect half moon, waxing, now during the day at 3:20PM East Coast USA.

#50 Re: Puzzles and Games » The 'Infinity' Game:Add 1, then say a username. » 2014-03-04 10:29:08

How about if we redo the rules.  Start at 2, the first prime number.  Choose a username for the #2.
The next poster will use the next counting number and if the number is a prime number then they
choose a username for it, but if the number is a composite number like 4 or 6, then they post all the
prime names that multiply to get that number 4 or 6, e.g.  Does that sound fun??
