Might be of interest, do you ever calculate all possible probabilities using brute force?

Q: Supercomputers around the world!

ThomasFor a matter modelling person, the most valuable resource is computing power. For many of us, computing power at hand limits the scale of problems we can solve. There are many national supercomputing facilities for academics. What are the resources available in each country?

@Himitsu_no_Yami Gave it my best shot.

@Axoren Interesting... If I did this math right, given the number I provided in the OP that should equal out to roughly 5.29*10^49. Care to check my answer for me?

Q: At what point is a Lifedrinker Warlock's expected damage reduced by Sharpshooter/GWM?

AndrendireAt Level 12, a Pact of the Blade Warlock can take the Lifedrinker Eldritch Invocation, which states the following: When you hit a creature with your pact weapon, the creature takes extra necrotic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Assuming a Hexblade Warlock with a 20 in Charis...

 
@Himitsu_no_Yami How many factories do you have? 7 * 10^14 factories?
 
@Axoren in the OP I mentioned that I had 2.3 quadrillion
that's 2.3*10^15
 
@Himitsu_no_Yami I'm coming up with 5.29 × 10^50
You were off by 1 power of 10

The real question is was I of by a power of 10? Or we you?
I'm double checking now
10^19 * (n^2)
 
Well, that's a screenshot from the calc so you can see if I screwed up the formula
 
It looks like you did it right, but it also looks like I did it right. The reason for that is I didn't look at either very closely.
I was off by a power of 10. You were right.
 
Ah, math, the hardest foreign language there is
 
5.29×10^49

wow, that's a lot of paperclips
cus again, that's per second
 
Yup.
 
So, given the limit of matter in that game, if we assume everything runs at exactly 100% efficiency if we pretend all the matter has already been converted to wire it would still take 157.5 hours by my math to convert all the matter in the game into paperclips (based on a number I found on wikipedia) with that many factories
 
You mean in-game universe or our universe?
 
in game universe
 
Because it's a lot easier to turn our universe into paper clips.
You just have to wait for that one spontaneous quantum state in which everything was already paperclips.

From wikipedia: "The game ends if the player reaches 30.0 septendecillion paperclips, finishing the conversion of all matter in the universe into paperclips."
was checking some thing and refreshed the page, now it's broken :/
quick cache clear and we're good
 
Don't forget to accept answers you feel adequately answered your question. #shameless
Lol
 
heh
I'm used to waiting a day or so cus I'm almost exclusively active here
 
I don't actually care all that much about my math.SE profile score
Unless your profile says you're a professor, everyone there treats you like an undergrad or an elementary schooler.
Score means nothing
 
I'm a professor, I teach stupidity :D
