MSN - Failed attempt at a turn chat
John says:
hi there
Vev says:
clearning up your mSN logs
Vev says:
actually reformeations
John says:
heh
Vev says:
I might consider bizzare colours soon...
John says:
heh
Vev says:
or,,, use other formats like:
fonts or size
Vev says:
so if multiple people join in, there will be a variety of text sizex
John says:
cool
John says:
and make a program that automatically does it?
Vev says:
search & replace is good enough
Vev says:
copy & paste
Vev says:
just need key phrases
Vev says:
and fill in the name
Vev says:
and put that into search & replace
Vev says:
*mental note: avoid 11 bases while on effic -2
Vev says:
have you done' honghu's challenge?
Vev says:
so tempted to say 0 cows and 0 sons, because he only has horse-riding daughters
John says:
which one?
Vev says:
ranch
John says:
I tired
John says:
came up with some formulas
John says:
but couldn't figure out how to narrow it down
Vev says:
the problem is that at lest 3 sons are mentioned
Vev says:
so I cannot use 0 sons
John says:
you know how simultaeous equations are
Vev says:
I was tempted to say 0 cows too
John says:
you need the same number of variables as equations
John says:
and you don't get that
Vev says:
but the +1 just makes it sound a bit wrong
John says:
that +1 part is okay
John says:
what is wrong is the /9
Vev says:
with 0 cows?
John says:
oh okay
John says:
never mind
Vev says:
I'm going for minimalist
John says:
the thing is that question takes into account rounding factors
Vev says:
trying to pick apart the question for loopholes
John says:
heh
John says:
actually try doing the question
Vev says:
nah
Vev says:
I am trying to do the simplest solution
John says:
did you know we have 13 bases now
Vev says:
happy b-drones
John says:
with HGP PTS and 1 police
John says:
we're good
Vev says:
sounds like minimum 3 sons
Vev says:
the problem is the meaning of 1 ninth
Vev says:
if the bloody numbers have to be multiples of 9 that is icky
John says:
nope it doesn't
John says:
it assumes rounding
John says:
I've figured that much out already
Vev says:
up or down or nearest ...
Vev says:
arrgh
John says:
not sure
John says:
honghu didn't specify
John says:
but I'm pretty sure it assumes rounding
John says:
because the formulas just don't work properly
John says:
that +1 cow means you can't get integer numbers normally
Vev says:
just the first two is annoying enough
John says:
turn update time
John says:
the thing is I bet there's some assumption that we're missing
John says:
just I haven't figured out what the assumption is
Vev says:
like cutting the horses up
John says:
hrmm
John says:
if cutting the horses is possible
Vev says:
if I could cut the the horses ...
John says:
then I would have gotten the answer
John says:
well there would be multiple answers actually
Vev says:
4 cows thre sons
Vev says:
okay that answer is mongy
John says:
heh
John says:
3 sons and first son takes 0 cows?
John says:
3 sons and 3 cows
Vev says:
since 4/9 have trouble making it 1
Vev says:
yes
John says:
heh
Vev says:
nah 4/9 does not round up to 1
John says:
yeah
John says:
but you can't cut the horses up
John says:
7 horses
John says:
14+3
John says:
actually it still doesn't work
John says:
because it's not an even number
Vev says:
1 son and as many cows as you like
John says:
heh
John says:
so no turn chat?
John says:
okay I'll just do the turn
Vev says:
tv soon
John says:
what tv is on?
Vev says:
monk
John says:
ahh
