Now jU, calm down, take deep breaths... and just relax.

And reading through this topic, I see that mathsyperson has made two mistakes. See if you can spot them. Post #13. Sorry mathsy. smile

I use the variations that MathsIsFun said. Now, etceteretera... nice word, Rod.

Hey Sephiroth! There can never be too many questions, can there? smile

Me neither. So... Thanksgiving is always on 24 November?

He guessed, jU.

Now with me, a different story. Kaboom. I'm dead.

Um, sorry, not the most inventive death, but I suppose I got the point across. smile

Yes! Zach, I am a witness. I saw your post! It wasn't me who deleted it... if I did it would have been an accident, but... I'm sure I didn't.

#1012 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Wink Murder 6 » 2005-11-18 16:20:54

I've picked the murderer and sent a message so everyone check your email, please! We'll start when...well, I suppose we'll start when the murderer receives the message and starts killing people. Hmm. And after all the fuss about who's playing, this is who it is (right?)...

It's great! Brilliant idea!

Okay. Get ready for a boring, tiresome, question-asking post.

Not sure if you wanted things like this...but down the bottom of the page you wrote '(It makes the land near the poles squashed-and-stretched, But it works well for most places!)' Once again, really picky.

Just some questions. The times down the bottom of the clock...Mine say 23:38, 2:38, 4:38, 7:38, 8:38, 12:38, 15:38, and 16:38. These don't seem to be positioned equally/evenly, like every two hours or something. Not sure if it's meant to be like this (I have no idea what I'm talking about so it's quite possibly meant to be like that) or if the spacing has an error.

Also, wrapping a ball with a piece of paper is a bit like peeling an orange - you can't peel it without wrecking the skin or distorting the original shape of the peel. One last thing. One thing you could do after this is have pages on different projections - there's heaps of maths involved with them.

I'll take that as a yes - I think Rod's desperately been waiting for a game.

#1015 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Wink Murder 6 » 2005-11-16 17:55:29

Look, mathsy's put it back again jU. You're with Zach now.

Since nobody seems to be jumping out of their seats to start the next game...I suppose I will/can if we want to play again. So if we are going to play, I'll start in one or two days.

#1016 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Wink Murder 6 » 2005-11-15 20:48:57

I think someone must have tampered with his post. Zach.

#1017 Re: Introductions » Hello all! » 2005-11-14 21:58:14

Hi Angel! Your name's almost as long as mine... smile

#1018 Re: Guestbook » Math » 2005-11-13 19:28:44

And by reading the mathsy's post, we can learn that half of the stuff that you will ever learn, you learn before you are 5. Even more intriguing.

Mathsy's gone and changed his signature again...

Mathsyperson is a real person, but with some supercomputer and superman parts built in. smile

I could pretend I know them but... I don't. You can see the Australian Government Geoscience website for a table of the area of Australian states.

Or Wikipedia, which shows the ranked list of Australian States for various things, including area.

#1023 Re: Guestbook » Math » 2005-11-13 18:52:26

When a human being is born, straight away, they start learning - and keep learning for the rest of their life. Something can be learnt from everything.

Like... um... by reading the post two posts up (by Rod), we learn that Rod never stops learning. Interesting. smile

#1024 Re: Guestbook » Math » 2005-11-12 13:54:17

It is, isn't it? So many new things to learn... smile

#1025 Re: Puzzles and Games » Word puzzle » 2005-11-11 20:39:04

Well, you are correct jU, but ganesh is looking for words which are both anagrams and homophones. We have some examples in the previous posts.
