oi.

boboquack

Hi!

What's with this A=B for very large/small values of A? It was funny the first time, now it's not really.

Rubio

People are silly, I guess

boboquack

If you want more rep there's a bounty on my question!

Where's the Sphinx-BOUNTY! bot?

Rubio

He's slow

boboquack

Really slow then.

@Rubio 1+2+3+4+...=-1/12 for very large values of -1/12. No, seriously, it does (for any value of -1/12)

2

Let 1-1+1-1+1-1...=S.

Rubio

00:36

Sounds good. :)

boboquack

Then 1-S=1-(1-1+1-1+1-1...)=1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+...

So 1-S=S=1/2

Then let 1-2+3-4+5-6+7...=T

Then 2T=(0+1)+(-2+1)+(3-2)+(-4+3)+(5-4)...

=1-1+1-1+1-1+1...=S=1/2

So T=1/4

Then let 1+2+3+4+5+6+7...=U

Then U-T=(1-1)+(2+2)+(3-3)+(4+4)+(5-5)+(6+6)+(7-7)+...

=0+4+0+8+0+12+...=4+8+12+16+20+24+28...=4U

So U-T=4U or -T=3U or U=-T/3=-1/12

So 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+...=-1/12

IED (in the spirit of @humn)

Rubio

That's.... somewhere, there's a group of mathematicians rapidly revolving in their respective graves.

boboquack

It's well known

Of course, not everyone knows the error...

humn

I love it, @boboquack, it would make a great goof-without-words

boboquack

What's so interesting about 'Let 1-1+1-1+1-1...=S', whoever starred it?

humn

00:47

I didn't star it but appreciate the audacity of the assignment

Rubio

Actually that was a slipup

I was trying to star - that

boboquack

Hi @Alconja

Alconja

Hi hi

humn

(came here to leave a note for R al'T but like what i jumped in on)

boboquack

We've been discussing the merits of infinite sums.

humn

00:48

by the way, boboquack, your proof can be refuted reductio ad absurdum:

Let S ≠ 1-1+1-1+1-1...

therefore contradiction

boboquack

Well, I don't see how that's reductio ad absurdum...

humn

your original assumption led to a contradiction ( my coming in to contradict the asssumption) (not in a serious mood)

boboquack

reductio ad absurdum would be to say, I can keep away taking positive integers from the LHS, and the RHS would always be negative, but the LHS>=0 (when you've taken away all the positive integers), therefore contradiction or something like that (but I appreciate the joke)

Hi @Doorknob

Doorknob

o/

humn

boboquack, did you know that the triangulation proof-without-words is a classic? what a great choice, it really is the first infinite-sum example in the book and i didn't know that until i guessed what you might be doing

boboquack

00:54

Yes, I did. I was searching for a good place to display it without making it obvious.

humn

the obfuscation worked well, more than once

i was mentioning to Rand al'Thor that it would be nice to see a proof-without-words about words

something to do with linguistics or etymology

boboquack

That would be... really hard

humn

somewhat seriously in any case, you really could post your above proof as a spot the goof-in-the-proof-without-words

boboquack

That would be more Maths SE territory

humn

here you'd have deduce what is being proven first

(a note for R al'T and then bye for now)

boboquack

01:02

@humn What are you expecting for the character nav bounty?

humn

more answers, even with more blocks. it's such a fun puzzle to work on, especially on paper, and has room for much more imagination than covered so far

your highrise solution already showed me things i overlooked

would be interesting see more sketches that led you to posing the puzzle in the first place

also i wanted users to come back for a second look if they were scared off by the original scale

boboquack

@humn I don't have sketches unfortunately, it was just a flash of inspiration. Unfortunately, I made it too hard to start off with, and so missed out on potential upvotes :P

humn

perhaps you could get the bounty by posting an alternate solution. i'd vote for it regardless

boboquack

@humn What did you mean when you said 'boboquack's answer shows how exquisitely efficient the few clues are'

Hi @Vol

hi

humn

01:10

i was daunted by the gorgeous mass of data that included only 3 specific clues (puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/48231/…)

Some of Yuriy S's puzzles are like that, deceptively dense and make me wish i'd tried them with a lighter touch like you did

(that didn't come out quite right)

So many puzzles are misconstrued/underestimated at first.

I suppose it might be too subtle

humn

@Khale_Kitha , That's the spirit!

Volatility

@humn did you want a hint? Technically it's not a necessary part of the solution.

Khale_Kitha

:)

humn

some numbers trigger canned responses from me

@Volatility , another hint would be great, my puzzle for you is: what is my mental block? i'm sure you've said enough already but i'm stuck somehow

Volatility

humn

Volatility

(that wasn't the hint, I was just treating "mental block?" as a cryptic definition)

humn

yeah, i should disassemble my mental block and put it back together with the colors right

Khale_Kitha

Btw, you're the only one who has commented on something about my puzzle - so the answer to your supposition is: Yes, that's important. I've been italicizing the words, gradually, over a few days time, as a hint. - @Volatility

Volatility

@Khale_Kitha I see, I wasn't following the question closely

humn

K_K, i tried charting the word lenghts and looking at their least and most significant bits, just to swim the words if nothing else, but didn't spark anything

Khale_Kitha

I'll give one hint here - because it wouldn't really be appropriate on the puzzle and is...well....a bit too big of a hint.

Hint: Look to the past. An email may hold the key.

Volatility

01:30

@humn here's the actual hint: look at the puzzle presentation, and its relationship with your row 3. Where does T fit in?

boboquack

@Volatility is this a coincidence or can you stick the different grids together to make a T-tetromino along the sides

Because you can...

Volatility

Umm, coincidence. How so?

Khale_Kitha

Actually that's too vague...

Updated.

humn

Khale_Kitha

No, I'll have to wait to an overnight for that

Other than sitting with a sick little girl, I've been at my machine most of the day

Volatility

@boboquack I don't see it...

humn

@Volatility , thanks, am i being too distracted by the circled corners?

Volatility

@humn no, that part is not a coincidence

but there's also a 5x5 in the middle

@humn Have you left your message for rand yet or have you been distracted?

@Randal'Thor, the article you mentioned is an example of Poe doing a Making-of-wrap-up post of The Raven as if it had been a puzzle. And it talks about creating something from back to front, which just has to be how Poe wrote the article itself too. Seeing a lot more in Poe now.

Rand al'Thor

@TheGreatEscaper Actually I was thinking this: let f(x)=x^m g(x) so that g(0) <> 0. Now take some p so that p|g(a) for some a, then p|f(a)=> p|a=> p|g(0) But if g is con-constant, then Schur's theorem says there are lllllots of suitable prime p, so g(0) has lots of prime divisor, a Very Bad thing

@manshu , i'm looking at the other room to unfreeze it (might be worth a try)

Ankoganit

Schur's (NT section on the wiki page) thm is actually pretty easy to prove... it uses Euclid's prove of infinitude of primes kindof argument.

TheGreatEscaper

My solution to that question involved considering prime x

Case one - for an infinite number of primes x, f(x) = -1, or 1

By infinite root theorem, it's a constant polynomial

Case two - for an infinite number of primes x, |f(x)| > 1

In which case |f(x)| has to have a prime divisor, but any prime dividing f(x) also divides x, which is prime itself

So there are an infinite number of primes x such that f(x) is a power of x

You can probably see where this is going

Ankoganit

@incesterror21 Mods on any site are mods all over chat.

@manshu I disdain Star Wars, and am no great fan of Harry Potter (although I have read all the books a few times and - shudder - seen the films.)

manshu

oh...it means you just know about them

?

humn

manshu

TheGreatEscaper

Oh good, someone else who dislikes star wars

But rand isn't Lord Voldemort

incesterror21

Know your remedy.

humn

no, yours, yaknow?

Rand al'Thor

@manshu I gained quite a reputation for being able to provide good answers to questions about things I haven't read/watched.

I had a bronze tag badge in star-trek before ever watching any of that too.

humn

at least you know what you're missing!

manshu

I can relate to it...My teacher thinks I am a bright student even if I am not

I can't reliably tackle in-universe questions like "why did X do this", but anything which can be properly answered by Googling up some interview quotes is fair game.

incesterror21

I think we all did that in school, yes

Ankoganit

@TheGreatEscaper Must be why you're so good at escaping.

TheGreatEscaper

Nah, I just like escape the room games.

incesterror21

I like escape the broom games.

@manshu now I owe you a revenge. Mu ha ha.

Rand al'Thor

@Deusovi I think this question is trying to ask about the validity of a particular answer, rather than about words in general. Maybe we can reopen it after my edit?

manshu

You will have it.. only when I will say 'hehe'...But I will never say 'hehe'

Rand al'Thor

@manshu You just did.

Ankoganit

manshu

hehe

Ankoganit

14:54

But I'll defer my revenge and keep you in suspense

Rand al'Thor

@manshu MOD ABUSE!

Ankoganit

manshu

That is not good.

Be a good boy.

Rand al'Thor
