----------------------------------- Corybu Fri Oct 03, 2003 1:25 am New Math contest!!! (10 bits) ----------------------------------- Ok, whoever gets this first wins. Theres a catch though, it has to be submitted in a turing program! Just cause you all seem to dislike turing, lol. What is 2.... +..... 3? *DUNDUNDUNnnnnnnNNNNnnnnn* *Thunder crackles* Tough one eh? GET ON IT!!!! And neatness counts for the program! I want comments, and it has to have some form of eye candy. :) lol. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Fri Oct 03, 2003 8:22 pm Re: New Math contest!!!

Wait, lets quote that, just one more time! put "2+2 = " + answer Ouch. That has to hurt. Sorry tony, you fail. (and Wheres the eye candy?) (and a more simple approach... put 2+3 one line. nice, neat, simple... still no eye candy though) ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Oct 04, 2003 12:51 am ----------------------------------- oh, boo hoo assuming that x=a, continue calculations: x^2 = ax x^2 - a^2 = ax - a^2 (x+a)(x-a) = a(x-a) divide both sides by (x-a) x+a = a since x=a x+x = x 2x = x Divide both sides by x 2 = 1 add 3 to both sides 5 = 4 5 = 2 + 2 So in reality, 2 + 2 does in fact equals to 5 :lol: ----------------------------------- Corybu Sat Oct 04, 2003 1:43 am ----------------------------------- Aside from most of that being entirely pointless... x+x = x Therefore x must equal 0... and 2x would equal 0 as well. using that 'formula' if you can call it that... you could say that any number equals any other number... ie where it says add 3 to each side, you could add any number... say you add 4, it would be 6=5 so then you could argue that my origional question's answer would be 6... (6=5 which equals 6=2+3) So... it doesnt make sense, lol. Usually I tell people that I can proove that 2+2=5 and then they tall me to proove it, so I ask for a valuable item of theirs, and tell them if they want it back, then 2+2=5. :D it works everytime, lol. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Sat Oct 04, 2003 1:51 am ----------------------------------- first line gives it away x^2=ax since a=x x^2=x^2 x=x (what a discovery :lol: ) ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Oct 04, 2003 2:49 am ----------------------------------- well x^2=ax is needed for the following line cuz on the next line we basically take away itself from both sides, bringing them both to zero. x^2-a^2 = ax-a^2 is same as x^2-x^2 = ax-ax so both sides equals zero... then we take those zeros, divide them by zeros and we get some crazy results :lol: The whole point of introducing A into the equation was in hopes of throwing people of guard during -a^2 line. ----------------------------------- Corybu Sat Oct 04, 2003 3:58 pm ----------------------------------- Lol, it was a good try. you still loose though. ----------------------------------- DanShadow Thu Dec 11, 2003 4:53 pm .. ----------------------------------- Hmm...Hey Corybu...seeing as nobody actually answered the question correctly... here it is: 2+3=5 muahaha! %Makes variable 'answer' an integer, and equal to five (5) var answer : int := 5 %Puts '2+3=' then the puts the answer variable, which is five (5) put "2+3=", answer %Puts my rants put "Muaha, correct! OR is it? (Yes it is)" %Makes 'answer' variable equal to 2+3 answer := 2+3 %Puts 'Answer=' then puts the new answer, which is also five (5) put "Answer= ",answer Woot, got it! 10 bits, or no, heh. :D ----------------------------------- CITC Sun Jan 11, 2004 6:46 pm ----------------------------------- um, so what was the actual point of this post? ----------------------------------- poly Sun Jan 11, 2004 6:50 pm ----------------------------------- to write a code in turing to get the answer and to get some bits ----------------------------------- w00rm Mon Feb 16, 2004 7:34 pm ----------------------------------- sorry to bust your bubble dude buy your equation is completly wrong, if a=x then there is no way you can change the value of the variables just by manipulating by using squares and dividing ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Feb 16, 2004 7:55 pm ----------------------------------- Yes, I'm pretty sure that was just a joke. Tony likes to prove 0 = 1 and stuff like that, it's fun. But we know the difference between jokes and mathematical discoveries... in fact, we knew the difference on Saturday October the fourth, in the year 2003 at 2:49 in the morning WHEN HE POSTED THAT! I don't mean to sound pissed off but how far back did you have to go to dig up this thread? ----------------------------------- Maverick Mon Feb 16, 2004 10:08 pm ----------------------------------- var ans:int:=0 ans:=3+2 put "The answer to 3+2 is",ans There easy enuf ----------------------------------- shorthair Mon Feb 16, 2004 10:30 pm ----------------------------------- Can we just kill this thread , i dont wanna see it again , there have been so many answeres , peopel just keep bringing it up , i mean at least make a new retardedly easy question ----------------------------------- jenkl Wed Feb 18, 2004 7:53 pm ----------------------------------- lol. what you did is the reason why you cant divide by 0. ----------------------------------- Delta Fri Feb 20, 2004 9:43 pm ----------------------------------- ok since well the simplest way to do this is put 2+3 I guess I win right... most efficient way of doing it... with the least amount of lines... no variables needed since all he asked for was the answer ... and well thats what I gave him right?
