wow, was the 32" monitor only at 640 by 480 or was it at 1280 by 780 or somthing?
Because when I connect my laptop to our 37" tv, I can only get 640 by 480 resolution which ain't that useful for everything.
Hi bobbym
I made up this problem after reading at Keene State College
in hopes that someone could enlighten me.
I don't need a complete answer, but anything
at all would be terrific.
Here is the question I came up with:
Given 3 apples, 7 oreos, 13 carrots, 19 cups of water, and 22 slices of toast.
How many ways can you choose 42 of these things.
You are allowed to choose any or all of the apples or toast, or just 18 slices of toast,
as long as it adds up to 42 things.
This is a combination problem. so after you pick up the 42 things, they can be
mixed up in any order and they are considered the same.
Also 3 + 7 is 10 and 13 is 23 and 19 is 42 and 22 is 64 total things.
So I suppose if you pick 42 things, there will be 22 things leftover and so if
you want to just pick 22 things, I think the answer should be the same for the
number of combinations of pickings.
Any discussion is welcome and I do not really need an answer so don't
go overboard unless you are enjoying yourself.
Thanks a lot though since I am quite curious about this problem.
And don't know if it is easy or not.

Nice idea, do they have touch screens you can calibrate and see-thru them and put them
on top of your own computer flat screen? Perhaps usb?
Yes, I was thinking of one in each hand. But the handshaking signals, if there are any in usb would need recognition, and hence more circuitry to get it not to hang up at the switch times.
Or you could get a multiplexer, and buy two mice, and splice them together with a timer on the multiplexer that switches the inputs from one mouse to the other and back and forth every second so you could use your left and right mice at the same time in both hands and see if you could get used to it...
Are you saying that the professor set them up with Sibebius backwards to see if someone would take the hook? or am i missing something.
Maybe we could get MIFun to add the ability to add dots to his online number line thingy by clicking on the marks or something. Maybe we could have 16 different colors 256 colors or maybe the number line could allow you to attach colored rings of varying sizes around any number. Or maybe we could get MIF to allow one to write something like 6n+1 and 6n-1 for n = 1 to 25 in red dots, and it would magically appear on the number-line he made. Wouldn't that be awesome!! Or maybe we could get Mif to come up with his own method to allow some sort of plotting numerous dots on his number line, and if the dots were a whole number, then they would be displayed because the user could choose only whole number dots or something, and then numbers not exactly whole maybe wouldn't be displayed, I don't know. What I'm thinking about is similar to have the ability to do the Sieve of Erostethenes on his number line, but do it manually, one number at a time, and the numbers like 2*3 and 2*3*5 and 2*3*5*7 and 2*3*5*11, you could tell it to merge the colors or you could have some other vertical hash marks with tiny dots above the number line for each equation you specify. Or you could say, I would like all "x=2n green dots at y=0.5 for n from 0 to 1000, and boom, 501 green dots would appear just above the number line at y=1/2 for the even numbers from 0 to 1000. Wouldn't that really be a fun experiment???
And if you want a smaller subset of the 6n -+1 formula, you can do this one:
2310n +/- 1, (skip 2,3,5,7,11), 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41 ... 1129, 1151, 1153.
1153 is the last prime under half of 2310 or 1155.
Pretty cool huh?? Do you believe it yet? Do you know what 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 is?
Or if you want a smaller subset, use this one!!
210n +/- 11,13,17,19,23,29,31...103 (only use primes in this list up to 103, or up to 209 if you want duplicates with near n's.
Since 209 is 11 times 19, maybe you should only go up to 199 and 11 + 199 = 210.
Maybe the 1 thing is useful though, because 211 is prime, so I suggest doing plus or minus 1 too in the formula
just like the 6n one.
try e-bay and get a com2 serial mouse. It can be hooked up maybe if you have a com port anymore and the control panel of xp, you can hookup mouse input from com1 2 3 or 4. I have a big printer port, and a monitor port that looks like a serial port but isn't marked serial port, do you think it is, or just a monitor?
Luckily my right mouse button works great still, so I think we have 4 more years out of this old computer, maybe (peut-etre)
it turns out 1 (one) might also be a prime number if you believe this formula for possible prime numbers.
This is an extension of the 6n+/-1 formula:
30n +/- 1,29,7,23,11,19,13,17 = possible places for primes. This is a subset of the 6n+/-1 because I have put in the 5 factor too!
It's just simple. Can't you see the pattern?
I'm testing out the keyboard mouse with the num-lock key and the numpad#5 for the click mouse button.
left is 4, right is 6, up 8, and down is 2. then the diagonals are 9,7,3, and 1.
Also I enabled tapping in half of my ten users. Then I reassigned the right mouse button to do the left click too.
so both do left click. and if you press both mouse buttons, you get the list menu thingy that is also a key between the right alt and the right ctl key on the keyboard for most windows pcs.
Just getting ready in case my 2004 computer stops working with respect to the overused left mouse button.
and Jess reminded me that i can use a usb mouse too if the track built-in one breaks.
So I was here last weekend, but nobody was here, so then i didn't come back till now...
A neighbor is going to do a little physics with me. he is a retired nuclear engineer.
I woke up and remembered #25 manganese. 54.(1720-->>>9380)45, so 54.938045. That's the baroque one.
Now Hydrogen is two numbers a min and a max number: 1.00784 to 1.00811 (these may be wrong)
... I'll go check the paper on the round table... Yes, it is correct, Lithium is the next odd #'d one:
hmmm... Let's see, it used to be 6.941 in 2008, but now it has a range of 6.938 to 6.997, a grand range
at that, let me check the paper... Yes that is correct. Now let's try #83, the last stable element Bismuth,
Hmmmm.... 208.0cantRememberLast4Digits... let me go check... nope, it is really 208.98040.
Here is the chart I will now use for 208.98040 bismuth #83:
_____5_____
_3_4___6_7_
_2_1___9_8_
_____0_____I'll call that chart the "two-square-chart".
Next I'll try to recall niobium #41, once known as columbium years ago.
Hmmm.... 92.90595???this has got to be wrong. I'll
go look it up at the round table... ...blew it, it is 92.90638.
I remember the number now, but I thought it was on a different element though,
weird.
Next I'll try to do #35 bromine: 79.904 I'm pretty sure on this one.
I'll check... ...Yes, it is correct.
Next I'll try to do #92 Uranium: 238.08591(I think it is wrong on 2 of the digits (chiffre),
I'll go check it... ...it is really 238.02891. (I knew it ended in 91 because it is #92 on chart)
Next I'll try #53 Iodine, which is actually smaller than #52 I recall...
I think it starts of 126, so 126.760??? can't remember...
I'll check the sheet... ...woops I mixed up #51 with #53 and made a conglomeritt
because #51 antimony ends in 760, it is 121.760, and #50 tin is 118.710.
But #53 Iodine is actually 126.90447.
The bowling pins work well for that one 12690447, but you have to recall the double 4 in the #53 somehow.
Well, what about indium #49, lets see... Hmm... 114.818??? again, can't recall...
...I'll look it up...Hey, guess what, I was right but didn't think so, it is 114.818. Yeah!!!!
Time to eat some cereal for breakfast before a carrot after... Talk later.
If you call this actually talking.
hello there

(in alphabetical order)
What are the ratios between the circles? I see the five pointed star.
Pa #91 from ten-pin memory is 2-3-1-0-3-5-8-8.
Let me go check it...
...Yup, got that one for now, but just looked at it 6 minutes ago, so that's not saying much.
Let's see if I remember #57 Lanthanum. Hmmm.... 138.90547 (ten-pin method)
and #59 praseo: Hmmm... 140.90765 and also
#71 I memorized yesterday... Lutet: 174.9668 ten-pin method.
Now I'll go check'm with paper printout...
...Yup, gottem all three. The #59 one I do with my "H" design, with the new 5 above the 4 in the middle.
Thorium is one of the only 3 radioactive elements above or equal to #84 polonium, that IUPAC mentions with a weight, probably because the longest isotope half-life is greater than 10,000 years.
Thorium is about, let me guess now first: about 231.079, probably wrong.
I'll go check my chart:
Okay the actual value is 232.03806. I haven't tried to memorize thorium,
or #91 Protactinium much. #90 Th, #91 Pa, and #92 U are mentioned by IUPAC.
Yeah, just try all three like this in BASIC:
jFinished = 18
abs(ax - bx) + abs(ay - by) = mAB
abs(ax - cx) + abs(ay - cy) = mAC
abs(bx - cx) + abs(bx - cy) = mBC
''find the smallest of the three
if (mAB = mAC) then
if (mAB = mBC) then
print "All three distances are the same and are: ";mBC
jFinished = 22
end if
end if
if (18 = jFinished) then
if (mAB = mAC) then
if (mBC < mAB) then
print "distance BC is the smallest and is: "; mBC
jFinished = 22
else
print "distance AB and AC are the smallest and are equal and are: "; mAB
jFinished = 22
end if
end if
if (mAB = mBC) then
if (mAC < mBC) then
print "distance AC is the smallest and is: "; mAC
jFinished = 22
else
print "distance AB and BC are the smallest and are equal and are: "; mAB
jFinished = 22
end if
end if
if (mAC = mBC) then
if (mAB < mBC) then
print "distance AB is the smallest and is "; mAB
jFinished = 22
else
print "distance AC and BC are the smallest and are equal and are: "; mBC
jFinished = 22
end if
end if
end if
'''comment: All 3 distances are different below here.
if (18 = jFinished) then
if (mAB < mAC) then

I suppose this could be similar to Manhattan distance?
