Can we put 1,1,6 in false please?

Yep, sorry

@ASCII-only

Another observation is that true ones have >= 2 squares in them

Same as 4, -9, 64 and 1, 8, 9 though :/

I think that observation is a weaker observation

11:10 AM

@mik_blom saluton! bonvolu helpas min

Master 100, -100, 100

It's interesting how quickly this turned into co-op :P

100,-100,100 is false

co-op is beneficial to both parties

@micsthepick's turn

mik_blom

Mi ne havi cerbon

Mi estas malbona

11:12 AM

@mik_blom will you play?

What does that mean?

master: -1, -1, 1

mik_blom

I don't have a brain. I am bad.

can we stick with english please?

-1,-1,1 is true

mik_blom

11:13 AM

I have no idea what this game is

Oh no...

@micsthepick passing?

guess: has Buddha nature iff all numbers are square of real or imaginary integer, and not all negative

4,-9,64??

2,3,6 is true.

mondo: [2,4,8] guess true

11:14 AM

laughs evilly

Woo finally

@sp3000 you were right all along :)

Yeah, I worked it out after -1,-1,1

Been spending all game trying to get a true that's NOT squares

guess true maybe

11:15 AM

guess false

true

@Sp3000 the easiest way to do that is to spend a guessing stone :P

and I think that that is my last turn for this game

Eh I could, but more fun for me this way :P

@ASCII-only But then -1,0,1 and stuff kill guesses like that

11:16 AM

@micsthepick still awaiting your guess

I thought they were out of guessing stones

(going to bed)

You don't need guessing stones to guess mondo

OK, auto-failing Mic

2,4,8 is true

(Hey, is it alright if I just use 'he/him' pronouns to refer to everybody unless I actually know your gender?)

@Wen1now ^^^^ how could you forget about your own mondo lol

11:17 AM

guess: true iff product is a square

Correct!

I thought that they just ignored my guess...

@Wen1now That.....actually led to some controversy earlier...

On the Internet, everyone is a male unless stated otherwise.

class Integer; def square?
  r=self**0.5; self >= 0 && r==r.floor
end; end
f = -> *a{m=a.reduce(&:*); m.square?}

1,0,-1

11:19 AM

states otherwise

nvm

Yep, zero is a perfect square.

Wait what everyone is a RO now lol

I would have got that If I realised 0x=0

I thought about the actual rule, but discarded it!

You're not alone ;-)

11:21 AM

I believe I have rarely - if ever - assumed somebody's gender

(on chat, at least)

The correct solution would be singular they, but I tend to forget to actually use it.

They just sounds really clunky though.

I'm wondering, it's they themself, but still they are. Why not they is?

@JohnDvorak I think that's only convention in Australia? (Or the US, I keep forgetting which)

I get called he/him and to be honest I couldn't care less

11:23 AM

I think I have always used 'they' unless with sufficient reason not to

and everywhere else it's s/he or (s)he or something like that

I tend to just use names

I haven't seen s/he in a while.

Mithrandir

I use they, or the user name.

Also, what would the possessive be for s/he?

11:24 AM

That whole pronoun thing led to a controversy during the election time, I think

Names get repetitive sometimes: 'Where's deus? Deus hasn't answered my question'

Mithrandir

(except for when they've explicitly stated what to use)

introducing a new 3rd person pronoun can't be THAT hard

There was a conversation on this I heard somewhere else I think?

@as4s4hetic It is when the most popular option is "zir" IIRC :P

We have you, which is either singular-plural or really-plural, then we have y'all, which is explicitly-plural. They and they'all?

11:27 AM

you was historically just you(pl)

thy was you(sg)

I thought thy was possessive?

@JohnDvorak Yeah, it's thee

whoops

yeah

Looking through chat history, I've inadvertently called AK 'he' and Alconja 'he'

But I think that's all

thee/thou

11:30 AM

Okay, this is ridiculous

what? second person pronouns?

I think using che is good enough

Since c is half an s

I'd rather be called an it than a car

^sorry that was a joke in chinese

@Wen1now Both have confirmed that, I think

18 mins ago, by micsthepick

can we stick with english please?

11:32 AM

@as4s4hetic O_o are all Australians Chinese

@Wen1now guevarra?

Maybe not so inadvertent then

apparently so

I don't understand anything

I'd better switch languages too just to be on the safe side

@ASCII-only ....what?

11:33 AM

@Sid Well at least the ones on SE

sed mi ne ŝatas la anglon...

Anyways, Wen defends

Fun story, at IOL we paraded around as the chinese team because all four of us are asian

I don't think bbq is chinese

Did anybody notice?

Sorry, this essay is really urgent

yeah, when we showed up to the opening ceremony with an australian flag

11:34 AM

But I have a cool rule... gimme a second

Rubio

@as4s4hetic qF6?@D 5í2D[ ¿4ó>@ E6 G2n

Gimme a sec

I think I can hand it in whenever I want tomorrow

So I'll just ~~procrastinate~~ do it then

@Rubio O_O

@Sid I think most of the Australians here are Chinese, I think I only know of two in TNB/here I guess who aren't

@Rubio is that Perl?

Rubio

11:36 AM

(That wasn't just gibberish, by the way)

Somebody tried to bait me into procrastinating by watching a video about why I shouldn't procrastinate

I think he said 'really interesting' and some other stuff

I've watched that video before it's really interesting

Actually, sorry but I'll do the essay today

@Wen1now baits wen into clicking on TVTropes link

Last time I did that I ran out of interesting articles in a few clicks

Because I realised how much my tabs were exploding

11:38 AM

@Rubio Well it looks like you put in too much effort for it to be gibberish :P

@Wen1now This is why you should use Vivaldi

So I set my 'articleIsInteresting' threshold to high

Vivaldi... is that a browser?

@Wen1now Yes

Hang on

@Wen1now so much for writing your essay >_>

I should be writing my chem notes

Yeah, I got one sentence done on my essay

Meanwhile I've done something like 8 here

I have a crippling procrastination habit

I started writing my english script at 4am the day it was due

11:41 AM

@as4s4hetic I don't think anyone can beat me in procrastination though :P

huh, you'd be surprised

@as4s4hetic :/ okay nvm

Ooh, procrastination comp

@ASCII-only I'd like to try, but not now

@as4s4hetic Yeah I don't really procrastinate lol it's more that I do nothing at all

Literally

11:42 AM

Okay, so the bell had rung

For the end of morning tea

@JohnDvorak Damnit you win

haha

Yay Vivaldi:

You can see where this is going, yeah?

Then I realised that there was a maths assignment due the next period (with a four minute break)

Actually, I think this was after the point where I was getting to class early

So maybe there was more like a ~10 minute break

>_> <_< >_> <_<

11:44 AM

(If people still want to play, I don't mind stepping in)

@Wen1now Did you activate Terence Tao mode and finish in four minutes

But that wasn't procrastination, that was just me forgetting about the assignment

o/

Lol if you look at ~~last year~~ any of my chat history, I'm sure >50% of it is at school/uni

Well, for the last week, every day I've thought to myself 'I'll finish off my assignment today'

11:45 AM

Also: yay today I had a group presentation and I was playing Zendo while writing the script >_> not sure how well/badly it went lol

Just ask for feedback

Nobody's going to say, 'that was terrible'. Therefore it went well

@Wen1now :P that comes in like a week when we get our marks back

actually I have many friends who wouldn't hesitate to tell me my speech was crap

Oh... it was marked

Meanwhile, my last few sentences in my spiritualism essay:

'Whatever I did, they would provide positive feedback. This positive feedback encouraged me to grow spiritually.'

what subject is this for?

11:48 AM

re

ah right catholic school forgot about that

@ASCII-only which school did you go to?

State High

HEYEYYY

UP THE BLUE RED BLUE

I'm totally looking you up in the yearbook now

@as4s4hetic O_o what is happening halp

(realises the only things I know about you are >you're male and >you're chinese)

11:50 AM

Doesn't it depend on how long ago ASCII-only went to bshs?

dunno, but I have the 2013 yearbook

@as4s4hetic Wait, how do you know that?

@Wen1now Every year :P

Is anybody here good at topology?

@as4s4hetic Um I have GitHub

11:52 AM

Oops I'm getting sidetracked again

omg I know who you are I think I've talked to you before

@ASCII-only

How did you work that out so fast?

@as4s4hetic O_o ~~halp stalker alert lol~~ has 0 clue who you are I have like a 1 in 125 chance to get it right probably

Oh right, this is puzzling

I am fairly certain the odds are a lot higher than that

In fact, with the information given I believe that the chance is >=20%

Possibly higher depending on how much 'research' you do

he doesn't know which cohort I'm in

11:57 AM

Umm, you've mentioned some things in the past

I can probably do some digging, but I'm (probably) too lazy

So, when is there a game?

O/

I'm up for a game ^^

o/

11:59 AM

@ASCII-only I lied, the oldest yearbook I have is 2014
