Gareth McCaughan

It is indeed not QUADRATIC. That wasn't a quadratic.

Rubio

I know, that wasn't me knocking down a guess

n_palum

Ah okay wasn't sure

Gareth McCaughan

But now it's dead because of the new letter.

Sconibulus

Sconibulus

good, because that wasn't even right...

Rubio

oh no T

GentlePurpleRain

should be increase 300%

Rubio

21:20

No. It wasn't right ;)

Sconibulus

I had fourfold initially, then went to change it to 300% to make it harder, and typo'd :)

Rubio

hehe. it worked, whatever

fourfold would have been wrong in any case

Gareth McCaughan

9 divide into four equal parts

Mistah Figgins

Rubio

or would it

hm

Rubio

oh true

Alt-F4

Again, I recently joined

Rubio

Still not QUADRUPLETS

and please, please, use sane numbers.

n_palum

21:24

Either or

Alt-F4

Anything on the mammals?

Rubio

QUADRISECT? is that a word?

GentlePurpleRain

@Alt-F4 There's this neat "search" function on the top right. Just type in your word, and look for it in all-caps in the last hour.

n_palum

Mistah Figgins

21:25

whatever

n_palum

yes

Rubio

ok whatever. :)

Sconibulus

spelling isn't that important, especially since google is forbidden

Mistah Figgins

anything on the mammals @Rubio?

n_palum

Those were my last two big words xD

Rubio

21:26

nobody has contacted it have they?

Sconibulus

yeah, I did, as did Alt F4

Rubio

Oh my bad sorry

I'll pass on it then

Sconibulus

Quadrupedal

Alt-F4

Mistah Figgins

I think

Rubio

(still) Not QUADRUPLE

n_palum

done

Mistah Figgins

21:28

@Rubio how is this still going?

Alt-F4

was thinking quadruplicate which I think is a word

Rubio

I ... doubt it

Sconibulus

5: Double Lying

Gareth McCaughan

quadruplicate is a perfectly good word

contact 5 @Sconibulus

Rubio

it feels cromulent. I'll take your word for it

Gareth McCaughan

21:29

(no longer on mobile)

oh, my 9 is dead; it was QUADRISECT

Rubio

i had guessed that I thought

Mistah Figgins

what could it be?

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio no, you had QUADSECT and some other non-word

Rubio

I guessed it later

Gareth McCaughan

oh, maybe I missed it, in which case my apologies

Rubio

21:30

6 mins ago, by Rubio

QUADRISECT? is that a word?

no worries

I don't know what you're doing with 5, I'll pass on it

Gareth McCaughan

pretty sure it's QUADRUPLICITY

Sconibulus

yep :)

Gareth McCaughan

which I'm also pretty sure doesn't mean double lying, but who cares? :-)

Rubio

oh ok

Again, if it works, it works

Sconibulus

it doesn't, but I don't remember what it means

Mistah Figgins

21:31

what?

Rubio

Rubio defending: Q U A D R U P

Mistah Figgins

how did you get that

n_palum

Would quadruplicate mean to replicate 4 times? as in duplicate?

Sconibulus

@n_palum yep

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum yes, or it could mean "repeated 4 times", also as in duplicate

which I think is commoner

n_palum

21:32

Hmm neat

Gareth McCaughan

though neither is exactly common

Mistah Figgins

@Rubio how haven't we guessed this?

Rubio

:)

Mistah Figgins

grr

Gareth McCaughan

result of two dipoles

n_palum

21:32

He's making things up

Sconibulus

I need to go catch the bus

Rubio

Gareth has it. It is QUADRUPOLE.

Gareth McCaughan

boom

Mistah Figgins

probably some fancy science word

@Sconibulus cya

Gareth McCaughan

yup, science/maths

Mistah Figgins

21:33

ok, fair enough

Rubio

Actually I saw it on drones, describing how they are controlled.

(in addition to the other usage Gareth had)

That's why I insta-passed on QUADCOPTER, actually

Gareth McCaughan

so do we have enough people here for another game?

Mistah Figgins

I gtg

or at least spend less time

I might contact at one point

but don't count on me

n_palum

I am partially here

I'll contact/clue sometimes

Gareth McCaughan

this isn't sounding like enough people for a good game, so far...

Rubio

21:37

yah agreed

Mistah Figgins

Fun fact: I might develop an application for playing this for my Computer Science project

Rubio

I'm going to take the opportunity to pause a bit

Mistah Figgins

then again, I might make a 3d platformer instead

Rubio

Make a 3D Defender game.

Mistah Figgins

?

what do you mean?

Alt-F4

21:39

Make a 4D Minecraft game

@MistahFiggins so like Run?

Gareth McCaughan

ok, everyone's saying no game so I'm outta here

Mistah Figgins

@Alt-F4 no, like first person

@Alt-F4 4 spacial dimensions? because 3 spacial and 1 time is relatively easy

Alt-F4

@MistahFiggins yes

also AFAIK it is "spatial"

Mistah Figgins

try this then

Alt-F4

that's a Rubik's cube

boboquack

21:54

I'm here now...

Or is everyone going

n_palum

I am partial, Rubio is on a pause, and I think Gareth left

boboquack

Hi @Alconja!

Rubio, Gareth, MistahFiggins, Alt-F4, if you return, there might just be enough people to start another game...

n_palum

You'd get more of a response pinging them

boboquack

I don't really want to mass ping for nothing...

I'll wait until the next quarter-hour, then mass ping if no-one comes

boboquack

22:21

@Rubio, @Gareth, @MistahFiggins, @Alt-F4, @n_palum, if you return, there might just be enough people to start another game...

Rubio

hi

scheduled event starts in 38 minutes, btw

I'm "around" but not reading this page - ping if we start

boboquack

@Rubio 98 mins, actually

@Rubio OK

Rubio

oh. lol.

n_palum

ok

boboquack

Probably need one more person at this rate

Rubio

22:23

I forgot about daylight savings changing my time relative to UTC

Mistah Figgins

what is the event?

boboquack

@MistahFiggins A scheduled game of contact. Are you available to play now?

Mistah Figgins

nah, unfortunately
