@Dennis yeah, I know. That's why I still haven't seen the giver

El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem Ender's Game and The Giver are fairly closely associated in my mind (probably since I read them around the same time), so that was especially easy for me. :P

DLosc

@DJMcMayhem I was JUST NOW starting to think of a clue for The Giver, and when I read yours I thought, "Huh, I can't place that but it sounds really familiar..." [facepalm]

American McGee's Alice

American McGee's Alice is a third-person psychological horror action video game released for PC on December 6, 2000. The game, developed by Rogue Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, is an unofficial sequel to Lewis Carroll's Alice novels. It was designed by American McGee and features music composed by Chris Vrenna. The game uses the id Tech 3 engine first used in Quake III Arena. A PlayStation 2 port was in development but was canceled. A sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, was released June 14, 2011. Downloadable ports of the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were also made to coincide...

Sherlock9

Sherlock9

Good lord, that took way longer than I expected hahaha

DLosc

"GirlGrannyWolfActor&Bunny" = Hoodwinked!

Sherlock9

Ohhh

El'endia Starman

4:49 AM

Well, I've never played or really seen much of Undertale... :P

DJMcMayhem

Kind of a horror game. Sorta

@El'endiaStarman you should it's fantastic

Sherlock9

Book series: "FrmrFirfghtrsTryInhritnceScam". And they were former volunteer firefighters

El'endia Starman

Yeah, I don't think I've read any books like that.

DLosc

"mail order wife -> prairie" Hint: Maine ->

El'endia Starman

It's not Little House on the Prairie, is it? That's the only work I know of with "Prairie" in the name. :P

Sherlock9

4:51 AM

So that one's probably a Stephen King book

Since it's in Maine

DLosc

@El'endiaStarman No, good guess though

Sherlock9

@El'endiaStarman Hint: the series has been mentioned as an earlier guess (to a different summary, of course)

DLosc

@Sherlock9 The hint is meant to imply Maine -> prairie; thus, not in Maine.

DJMcMayhem

Mine was "walk the line"

Is it possible to make a primality tester using only logic gates?

Leaky Nun

@DerpfacePython everything is based on logic gates

DerpfacePython

@LeakyNun sigh...

That's not what I meant

:(

Leaky Nun

What did you mean?

DerpfacePython

When given a binary number and logic gates (i.e. AND, OR, NOT, XOR, etc) is it possible to make a primality tester?

Leaky Nun

@DerpfacePython Yes because everything is based on logic gates

I don't see the difference.

DerpfacePython

6:48 AM

How do you do it then

Leaky Nun

@DerpfacePython Which algorithm do you plan to use?

DerpfacePython

As simple as possible

I'm just trying to make one in MC, that's why I'm asking.

Leaky Nun

Wilson's theorem?

Warn you, it's possible but it's hard

I thought redstone is basically turing complete

DJMcMayhem

@LeakyNun I've never heard of wilsons theorem before. It looks pretty cool

Leaky Nun

@DJMcMayhem indeed it is

DJMcMayhem
