@Bob I awoke on Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:00:06 GMT (that's about 7 hours ago), got invoked 18 times
 
Bob
*shrug*
@allquicatic that seems like the kind of thing where either you can wait to see a GP or you go straight to a hospital here
I suppose there are some larger-than-GP centres but they're rare-ish
 
(4.0e29) - Can anyone think of a solution to this?
 
Bob
7:25 AM
@Rahul2001 what?
4 * 10^29?
 
Not that
 
Bob
...there's nothing to solve
 
@Bob it's the question of a crypto challenge
that isn't the answer
 
Bob
psst, context
 
@Bob they haven't given me anything, only this image:

My excellent research skills tell me that the penguin is from a SEGA game called pengu, but that hasn't led me anywhere...
 
7:29 AM
Is that number special in some way?
a named number?
 
@djsmiley2k No idea, they refuse to tell me anything D:
 
Oh, there's a hint on the facebook page...
Q1: "How else can one write 4.0e29?"
- The Oracle
if you got a problem, face it, and 420xxBLAzZe!txx
"vaping is for the weak"
- Bal Gangadhar Tilak, 2060
Oracle is the name of the guy handing out hints
 
is that like 400000<29x0's>
 
yeah, not the answer
 
7:32 AM
maybe try it in different bases?
 
@JourneymanGeek already did
 
base ...42 or 420?
 
0xDEADBEEFBABE :P
 
morning
 
OK, new hint, the answer has something to do with an indian movie apparently :/
 
7:33 AM
D:
 
This is so messed up
 
:D
it'll be obvious once you figure it out
 
Bob
sliding horses penguins?
 
@djsmiley2k isn't that always the case? :/
 
@Rahul2001 therefore it IS obvious
you just don't know it

The pengő (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈpɛnɡøː], sometimes written as pengo or pengoe in English) was the currency of Hungary between 1 January 1927, when it replaced the korona, and 31 July 1946, when it was replaced by the forint. The pengő was subdivided into 100 fillér. Although the introduction of the pengő was part of a post-World War I stabilisation program, the currency survived for only 20 years and experienced the most serious hyperinflation ever recorded. == Name == The Hungarian participle pengő means 'ringing' (which in turn derives from the verb peng, an onomatopoeic word equivalent...
 
I hate anyone who makes me watch a hindi movie
 
Bob
> The Hungarian economy could only be stabilized by the introduction of a new currency, and therefore, on 1 August 1946, the forint was reintroduced at a rate of 400 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 (400 octillion) = 4×1029 pengő, dropping 29 zeros from the old currency.
cough
 
oh...
 
Bob
7:35 AM
4.0e29 pengu = 1 forint
...don't ask me how I found that
1 forint => 14int? idk
wtf kind of crypto challenge is this
more like random trivia
 
@Bob I agree
and the answer is not forint or pengu or 400 octillion
 
or pengu

YESYESYES
I DID IT!
 
7:43 AM
@Rahul2001 So what was the answer then?
 
@DavidPostill FORINT
in caps
 
@Rahul2001 So what you are really trying to tell us is that @Bob solved it :)
 
yeah
thanks a lot @bob
anyone up for level 2? :P
 
i thought i had sent myself an email but i think i must have forgotten to click send...
 
@Burgi That's happened to me before...
 
7:52 AM
i managed to get infinite tabs on firefox on my tablet
 
@Rahul2001 Try 61710000
 
i screenshotted it to share with you guys but i must not have sent the email
 
@Bob I was right about the numer then :D
 
MC = 1100

@bwDraco Bah, only 91. Mine's been showing the infinity symbol for years. Might've pushed past 500 by now.
 
7:55 AM
lol
 
Bob
Nov 12 '15 at 0:41, by Bob
Sometime between 34.0 and 39.0 (I didn't update in a while) it switched from cutting off a digit to showing infinity.
 
awwww :(
 
@DavidPostill nope D:
 
Bob
Jul 16 '15 at 13:28, by Bob
Huh. Apparently Chrome literally displays ":D"
also, apparently @allquicatic actually brought up my massive list of chatrooms back in mid-2015, before @jokerdino did :P
Also on the list of dubious achievements:
 
okay, here's the thing:
1. E = MC^2(Translated by Bing)
2. F=MA (translated by google)
3. x^2-y^2=(x+y).(x-y) (translated by Yahoo)
4. H2SO4(translated by Flipkart)

6. GDP = C + I + G + Xn ( translated by translator )
All the hints for level 2

I've only added the numbering, not changed anything else
probably has something to do with scientists
 
Half-life (abbreviated t1⁄2) is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value. The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo, or how long stable atoms survive, radioactive decay. The term is also used more generally to characterize any type of exponential or non-exponential decay. For example, the medical sciences refer to the biological half-life of drugs and other chemicals in the body. The converse of half-life is doubling time. The original term, half-life period, dating to Ernest Rutherford's discovery of the principle in...
 
8:17 AM
@Bob any ideas?
 
Dog
Fogr
I mean doge
 
@Dog Do you have any ideas?
as to what the answer may be?
damnit. this is getting frustrating...
 
Bob
8:33 AM
@Rahul2001 nup
 
the years they were figured out might matter?
 
i don't think so
 
yeah but you didn't think the 29 0's mattered either :P
 
fair enough...
 
something something higgs boson (translated by LHC)
:P
 
8:35 AM
Technically, the main challenge is: "E = MC^2(Translated by Bing)", the rest are hints added later

Dammit opengur doesn't seem to have an easy way to copy the uploaded l ink to the clipboard
 
@Bob VERY likely I can't make it today too
that said, for once, its something I actually NEED to do
 
Bob
lol
ok
@Dog yes it does
 
mom's on a dumb phone plan so I'm switching her over to something cheaper with actual amounts of data
 
Bob
there's a copy link action on the notification
 
9:54 AM
and dad might be buying a portable aircon
 
Bob
you might need to expand it down to see the button, if you have lots of notifications
 
I'll ping you if I make it home alive early
 
Bob
lol, sure
I've got some 30 tins of paint to move around anyway
 
boy would your jaws be tired
 
Bob
lol
 
9:56 AM
oh, and my favoured way of getting around in SR4.... jumping...
 
Bob
yup
 
Dog
@Bob Huh I have no link on the notification
I mean it shows the URL, but tapping and long pressing on it does nothing
 
has there been an issue with the swimming pools at the olympics?
 
Dog
Oh you have to drag down. Yeah thanks Android for invisible mystery meat navigation -_-
@Burgi Soylent green
I'm really begginning to hate how Android keeps dumbing down and hiding parts of the user interface
Menu button to show menu? Nah, we'll change it to invisible, off-screen slide-in tabs that are impossible to know whether they exist or not
Expandable notifications? Should we make them behave consistently? Nah, we'll just randomly make it so dragging down on some notifications will open the Samsung toggle bar while others will expand the notification and the only way you can tell the difference is... HAHA YOU CAN'T
Holy crap 60TB SSDs.

@Burgi Well they suddenly turned green after people went in, so...
 
o.O

@Bob my windows 10 lockscreen just became a fox... :|
 
@Rahul2001 No.
 
D:
I might have to give up...
 
@DavidPostill the phrase "420 praise it" is apparently another hint
 
@Rahul2001 And "E = mc2" is a novel written by "Pierre Boulle" in 1957
 
"Pierre Boulle" isn't the answer...
 
@Rahul2001 That seems to be a meme. Search for "420 praise it" meme
 
oh...
20th april?
 
11:11 AM
Overview

420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term used to call for consumption of cannabis, particularly around the time 4:20 p.m. or on the day of April 20th, and by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis culture.
 
> was coined in 1971 by a group of students at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, who called themselves the “Waldos” and congregated by the campus statue of Louis Pasteur to smoke weed at 4:20 p.m
Just realized, frauds are called '420' in hindi
 
"420 praise it" appears to be related to the game "Dark Souls" and praising the Sun ...
 
are we helping corrupt @Rahul2001?
 
@Burgi how so?
 
yesterday it was E, today its weed...
 
11:24 AM
4:20 Blaze it is a drug reference tho
so the darksouls thing may just be a reference to that.
\o/ PRAISE THE SUN \o/
 
@Burgi It's a competition, I have no interest whatsoever in taking drugs
 
@Burgi yes
They are green now :D
(swimming pool at hte olympics)
I'm predicting a copper suflide issue
 
E = mc2 is the equation of mass–energy equivalence. E=MC2 or E=MC2 may also refer to: E=MC2 (animated cartoon), a 2009 animated cartoon series created by Sprocket Studios E=MC² (Mariah Carey album), a 2008 album by Mariah Carey "E=MC2", a song by Ayreon on the 2008 album 01011001 E=mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation, a 2001 book by David Bodanis "E=MC2" (song), a 1986 song by Big Audio Dynamite E=MC² (Giorgio Moroder album), a 1979 album by Giorgio Moroder E=MC2 (poem), a 1961 poem by Rosser Reeves E=MC2, also known as The Atomic Mr. Basie, a 1958 album by Count Basie E=MC2, a...

@djsmiley2k for a second i thought we were still talking drugs...
 
They are all famous equations or formula

whoops
that's not good
 
then isnt that the answer? they are all drug referances ? E - extacy , H2SO4 - Acid - LCD , GDP - Grand Daddy Purple , FMA - 2-Fluoromethamphetamine , 420 - marajuana
With the kind of obscurity provided for this "contest" one can make up just about anything, and i just did.
 
@DavidPostill #4 is Sulfuric acid
 
Einstein/Newton/?/Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber)/Pythagoras/?
@Burgi Fail. Number 4 is sulphuric acid
 
i used the american spelling
 
Bob
There we go, A+ again.
 
11:33 AM
@Burgi And got the number wrong 4. H2SO4
 
i updated that bit immediately...
 
#5 is pythagoras theorem
 
Bob
@Psycogeek lol
 
triangles, angles, right angles
 
@DavidPostill what does valve have to do with it though?
 
11:36 AM
5 ) Pharmacogenomics was first recognized by Pythagoras
 
valve pipe bong
 
So we have
1. mass–energy equivalence equation, proposed by Albert Einstein
2. Fundamental principle of dynamics, proposed by Isaac Newton
3. Polynomial identity
4. Sulfuric acid formula
5. Pythagoras' theorem
6. The equation of Gross domestic product (GDP)
7. Slang for Drugs...
 
all theories
 
all formulas
 
are all these things on a spcecraft?
 
11:40 AM
Sulfuric acid formula discovered by Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber)
 
germans o_O?
all anti-religion
 
GDP is Simon Kuznets
@djsmiley2k Isaac Newton is English!
 
newton was also a committed Anglican
 
"Polynomial identity" could be Decartes
 
also a nutjob
 
11:45 AM
@Burgi Brain damage from the apple :)
 
lol
 
René Descartes, in La géometrie, 1637, introduced the concept of the graph of a polynomial equation. He popularized the use of letters from the beginning of the alphabet to denote constants and letters from the end of the alphabet to denote variables, as can be seen above, in the general formula for a polynomial in one variable, where the a's denote constants and x denotes a variable. Descartes introduced the use of superscripts to denote exponents as well.
 
Bob
hmmm
 
@Burgi Or maybe he drank too much cider
 
what do we win with this?
 
11:48 AM
@Burgi We don't win anything. @Rahul2001 is massively failing on some competition. @Bob solved the first problem. @Rahul2001 is stuck on Q2.
 
ok what does @Rahul2001 win?
 
My school's appreciation
 
if its a million quid i feel we are entitled to a share
 
@Burgi More like a packet of chips
I'll airmail some to you if you want ;p
 
i feel we are entitled to a share
 
Bob
11:51 AM
dammit I'm confused

Q: How is route automatic metric calculated on Windows 7?

e-t172KB299540 explains how Windows XP automatically assign metrics to IP routes: The following table outlines the criteria that is used to assign metrics for routes that are bound to network interfaces of various speeds. Greater than 200 Mb: 10 Greater than 20 Mb, and less than or equal to 200 Mb...

 
Equation
 
Bob
Windows 10, wired gigabit should have a mtric of 25
 
@Psycogeek not the answer
 
Bob
mine is... 281?!?!
and yet my mobile broadband with a link speed of 150 Mbps has the correct automatic metric of 35...
so it chooses the mobile one (with the lower link speed)
where the heck does it get 281 from?!
dammit
 
the new WP documentation site is worse than the old codex site
 
Bob
11:55 AM
I want to ask a SU question
but it's answerless on SF
and there's a very similar SU one with basically no attention from 5 years ago
go away clippy
