Yeah - there's two goals in the game - 1 is to post clues you think your fellow players can get that I can't, to get more letters; and 2 is to actually guess my word

boboquack

Both stand then

Rubio

duplicate words as guesses don't give any headway toward objective 2, but can toward 1

anyway - @bobo #1 bin, or bijection. :)

@Rubio Aww, that's cheating :-P

Rubio

:)

Turnabout's fair play hehe

Rand al'Thor

Also, @bob, an injection has an inverse too, at least on its image.

boboquack

@Randal'Thor Then it's not a true inversion on the codomain

Rubio

In the interest of fair play, I honestly am way past the point where bijection, surjection, injection, inversion, or any of that ilk have any meaning to me anymore

Rand al'Thor

@boboquack Only if you take that set to be part of the definition of the function. All you really need for a function is a domain and a definition of the map.

Anyway... @The, you said you had rand's ...

Rand al'Thor

@Rubio You'll hate this riddle then :-)

Rubio

Oh dear God.

I recognized some of the words in the answer.

mainly the ones under 6 letters long hehe

Rand al'Thor

That was my first glimpse of the brilliance of McMagister.

Coming along to provide perfect solutions to riddles that had been unsolved for weeks became something of an MO of his.

Rubio

Math and I parted company, mostly amicably, after my first class with matrices.

ok TGE is AWOL so

I'll formally pass on Volatility's, someone contact it

Rand al'Thor

Matrices can be ugly.

But so much else in maths is beautiful!

@Rubio My guess was "bisected". @Vol?

Volatility

Rand al'Thor

Darn.

What then?

Volatility

biased

Rubio

oh. see, I should have known that.

now I'm mad at me :)

Rand al'Thor

Ohhhh, that kind of partial!

Volatility

heh, well at least nobody else knew that either ;)

Rubio

11:28 PM

@boboquack: bicycle

should have had that ages ago, if that's it

and nice clue too

Volatility

when left and right co-operate

Rubio

errmmmm bicameral?

bipartisan

Volatility

+1 bipartisan

Rand al'Thor

Heh, I was thinking of ambidextrous.

Rubio

is bicameral a reasonable answer for the Brits? i don't know. it sounded right

Rand al'Thor

11:32 PM

I'd never heard that word.

Volatility

neither

Rubio

oh. nvm then

I thought it was a parliament thing.

Volatility

Rubio

I had the right words, wrong context.

Volatility

The other two still are valid?

Tissue is Biopsy

Rand al'Thor

Oh duh. I though Vol's "+1" was a joke response to your "well poo".

Volatility

heh

Rand al'Thor

@Rubio That was my thought too.

Rubio

11:55 PM

That's the word that was on the tip of my t...yping fingers when I tried bisect first.

Finally dredged it up

boboquack

@Randal'Thor Choose your ways

Rubio

@bobo not bifurcate?

boboquack

No
