amWhy

00:18

I'm stopping so everyone can have a chance to post, some of whom may be waking up in the next two or three hours.

vitamin d

@amWhy Same reason I stopped writing.

Joking can't think of a word haha ;D

amWhy

@vitamind You're free to continue. I've posted more than I should have. But there are two obvious words yet spoken for in SPRING FEVER. ;D

Ooh, one more, then I'll stop for now: I never ever GRIPE on math.se, right, @quid, @Xander, @AlexanderGruber ? ;D

Oh, oh, one more: GIVEN

vitamin d

Just for the sake of the feeling I've contributed something important: SPRING and FEVER.

amWhy

@vitamind Yay!!

@amWhy: I hope everyone is aware of SPRINGER as publisher of costly yellow colored books titled "graduate texts in mathematics". However I don't know if that's a valid word

FIRE is not listed so far

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh It is here:

1 hour ago, by Peter

FIRE

Paramanand Singh

Sorry sorry

amWhy

But it wasn't in bold face. I've tried to encourage all caps and bold-face so that words stand out, and so users can scroll and see them more easily.

@ParamanandSingh No apology necessary!

Paramanand Singh

Yes maybe that's why I missed. But FIVE counts

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh Yes! We've now got FIVE and SEVEN!

Paramanand Singh

01:04

VEIN

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh I thought of one I'll hit at: What does one do after they lather up in a shower or bath, to rid themselves of the lather? Or, it is also a part of a washing machine's cycle.

Paramanand Singh

@ParamanandSingh Nice one!

Paramanand Singh

01:06

RINSE (as you suggested)

VISE also works

amWhy

Hi quid! It's getting quite late for you. Thanks for stopping in! But don't stay up just for this!

Paramanand Singh

GRIN

quid

SPIRE

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh Yay! Oh, and an anagram is RISEN (Kind of a theme on Easter, for observant Christians!.

Paramanand Singh

@quid: hello and happy Easter

amWhy

01:09

@quid Good one! If only there were one more "i", we'd have "inspire"

quid

@ParamanandSingh hello, thanks

Paramanand Singh

GRIEVE

quid

If we had an "a" there would be aspire

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh Wow, that's very good!

@quid Indeed. An "a" would go a long way: pain, gain, rain, rasp, etc.

Paramanand Singh

Maybe I was FEIGNing ignorance so far.

amWhy

01:12

@ParamanandSingh I'm impressed: REIN, REIGN

@ParamanandSingh Amazing how the light can go on in one's head, a sort of shift in orientation, with a fresh word.

@quid Please confirm?

Ooh, one more, then I'll stop for now: I never ever GRIPE on math.se, right, @quid, @Xander, @AlexanderGruber ? ;D

quid

Never.

Paramanand Singh

SIGN

amWhy

@quid I'm going to quote you on this ;D

RESIGN

Paramanand Singh

There is SINE function also, but let's not count this

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh Already taken way above.

quid

01:16

@amWhy maybe I meant that I'll never confirm that? ;-)

amWhy

@quid Hah! ;P ;-)

Paramanand Singh

NEVER also counts if not listed yet

And then we can SEVER ties

amWhy

@ParamanandSingh Both already mentioned above.

REFINE

Paramanand Singh

Too bad, need to put more effort to get something new and nice

SEER

@vitamind Nice, a child of INVERSE!

INVERSE

RESIN (You'll know it, e.g., if you ever played a stringed instrument (not banjo or guitar)

Paramanand Singh

I think chat uses sans-SERIF font (at least on my mobile)

amWhy

I'm feeling pretty lame, as it's only 8:30 pm my time, and I gotta go to bed, like pretty much now (up since 1:30 a.m., my time.)

@quid, that's a hint to you too, as you're 7 hours ahead of me!!!

Paramanand Singh

01:29

Ok sleep well and good night @amWhy

amWhy

See y'all!!

vitamin d

@amWhy Well that's answers my question in our chat. Good night and thanks for the word challenge!

quid

@amWhy good night, I'll leave too I think.

amWhy

@quid No thinking about it, you need your beauty rest ;D

quid

@amWhy alright. See you!

@amWhy Hello, I am busy in some other things today so I will not be able to participate here. But the rest of you , enjoy!

Paramanand Singh

04:10

@user863565: this is pretty standard by assuming $x, y, z$ as roots of a cubic. But i think such problems can be discussed in other chatroom like "Mathematics"

Anthony

Q: How do I find the approximate surface area of a chicken?

I'm working on building a chicken army and I'm trying to find out how much metal or kevlar (still deciding) I need to make armor for the chickens. this measurement does not need to be exact I'm just trying to get an estimate for how much I will need. You will be spared when my chickens take over ...

@Anthony "what if the chicken is a fractal".. gold

Anthony

05:53

@an4s whole of this is a good read

Peter

10:03

@amWhy I do not know how to create bold letters. But what about REVERSING ? I am not sure whether the spelling is correct.

Paramanand Singh

@Peter: you can add two asterisks in beginning and two at end to make a text appear in bold

Peter

REVERSING (if the spelling is correct)

@ParamanandSingh Thank you. Is this a valid word ?

Paramanand Singh

Yes that's a valid word and longest so far.

I am preparing for SBI PO and IBPS PO

If any one is interested to help me out in Quant and Logical reasoming..Please do respond.

I have created a separate chatroom for the same.

5 hours later…

amWhy

15:28

@Peter That works! Also, to make bold text here and on main, preface and suffix with two asterisks: **REVERSING** produces REVERSING (no spaces after first two, or before last two).

@ParamanandSingh Nice one!

GIVEN, GIVE, GIVER ? I've lost track of all the words we've covered.

@ParamanandSingh Nice!

GREEN, GRIN? Again, I've last track.

I already mention GIVEN, it seems, and perhaps another posted the others.

SNIP, SNIPE, SNIPER.

Paramanand Singh

@amWhy: sniper, that was nice!!

Hey all,
I plan on self-studying undergrad probability theory from the books (1) Feller (2) Ross (3) Grimmet Stirzaker over the next 7-8 months. The idea is to set weekly goals work on a good mix of problems.

I would like to ask, if anybody out here is interested to co-study, we can divvy up the problems and discuss our solutions/challenges.

2 hours later…

amWhy

17:59

@Teresa Maybe think about moving the current CURED chat to your chatroom? Or at least continue it there?

Hello, @user21820. Any anagrams that you've come up with from SPRING FEVER?

user21820

@amWhy I tried, but there are too few letters so I couldn't think of any.

Teresa Lisbon

@amWhy I will try.

amWhy

@Teresa, I think your conversation is helping, but two users came in and then left. That's not indicative of a problem. And I do not want to interrupt any flow there, so I thought it best to check in here...so play it by ear, and do what you think is best :-)

Teresa Lisbon

@amWhy Shifted it, done.

amWhy

@TeresaLisbon Thanks!

amWhy

Teresa Lisbon

@amWhy Now that I think of it, where can I put those comments? I'd like a private room,I don't think I have an option of that, though.

amWhy

19:13

@TeresaLisbon No, we don't have that option, but you can always, in the future create a room "Room for TersaLisbon and username, where the title is long enough that the user you create the room for is not readily visible, and never on the front page, so not very likely for users to seek out, save for you and the user.

Teresa Lisbon

@amWhy Nice idea. I will use it on a later occasion.

amWhy

@user21820 Yes, and only three vowels.
