What matters most is what is worn on our lapels,
Get us excited and some of us may buy or sell,
We’re made of the same stuff,
But some are more or less tough,
It just depends on what’s in our electrostatic potential wells
and wondering if the five don't hide/form another puzzle

perhaps the table and glass do not form a perfect seal. then the interior volume and pressure of the glass might remain constant. yet the friction/energy of the dice falling and bouncing off the glass and the table could excite/minutely raise the interior temperature of the gas requiring less atoms of gas to make up the constant volume and pressure. So less gas in the glass?

For the general case of an equilateral triangle ABC of side length s, the area = sqrt(3)s2/4 and the sum of the areas of triangles ACK, CBK, BAK = s/2(h1+h2+h3). Equating the two yields h1+h2+h3=sqrt(3)s/2; a constant regardless of the location of K. So s=2(h1+h2+h3)/sqrt(3) and the perimeter of the triangle p=6(h1+h2+h3)/sqrt(3).
here Dm=h1/2 and Dn=h1/2+h3 thus BD=2(Dn)/sqrt(3) or (h1+h3+h3)/sqrt(3)similarly CE=(h3+h2+h2)/sqrt(3) and AF=(h2+h1+h1)/sqrt(3) and BD + CE + AF = 3(h1+h2+h3)/sqrt(3) or half of the perimeter. Consequently the sum of the areas of alternating triangles within the equilateral triangle are each 1/2 the total area of the equilateral triangle.

Nice read DD and fun stuff Y-san!

Thanks you two for knocking this one out. I just couldn't let it go unsolved thus the previous bump. Knew you guys would bail me out.
Don't know how to best use the Mark Solved feature with these multi-answer puzzles so have unabashedly linked here...

ah yes Y-san, fresh eyes. and daunting, soaring, dare i say mountainous insight. correct on both accounts above.
ps - have been
followingtrying to follow yours but fear it is above my pay level. will keep plunderin tho. -
Well this one may have remained unfinished for good reason. Haven't had the time of late to compose anything new. So in the meantime and on the outside chance there could be any interest in finishing this one, have added rewritten lines for the four yet to be solved. Spoilered for any who don't want a second clue.

right on DD. thanks for solving. be back soon.

wow DD, that's uncanny, so to speak. despite the fit gonna have to surprisingly say only half right. figured this one to be tough but thought the first half was doable then the rest could be sussed out. never did it occur to me there might be another that fit so well with the second rhyme. even the total with the "tabs" part makes sense with yours. and the title.... well, doodoo. nice answer my friend. hope you'll give it another shot.
-
hey hey plasmid - you've a keen sense for this one as usual. yes an a + b = ab format (as hinted at with the "first", "second", "connection" bits) but am afraid your answer is a whiff.
-
First you need to open up
And let it out for all to see
Revealing the hidden beauty within
Or a terminal growth it could be
The second you learn to realize
Seeing just how it's perceived
Yet knowing what it means to acquire
The sense that one's meant to achieve
For when you manage to make the connection
Accounting for that which you'll need
To keep tabs on all that's involved
Regarding what's reasonable indeed -
think bn was saying find other rational points which can then be extrapolated to make all six integers. also, don't think they necessarily have to be Pythagorean triples. Non Pythagorean, Heronian triangles might also be needed. That said Ive been working on this since first posted and am still stumped

no worries at all. put these up in hopes they are solved, afterall. only now am unable to post that ring puzzle I had in the works (not really). had actually forgotten that oldie. funny how I did basically use the same clue then and now. nice memory and nice catch. think I might revisit that a+b=ab format. and certainly I cant take all the credit for your annoying ways here
. cheers -
i misunderstood this problem at first and thought the three points were on the perimeter of the circle. with this misunderstanding in mind: thought as a second point approached being directly opposite the first, the probability of a random triangle including the center neared 50%; and as the second point approached the first point, the probability of the center being included neared zero. Since the points were uniformly random, the average distance between them would be 1/4 of the circles circumference and for the center to be contained in the triangle generated by the third point, that point needed to be on the arc directly opposite that generated by the first two points - a 25% probability. When i reread the problem (correctly) it seemed the 25% might still hold as the points were uniformly random but my maths could not prove that. It made sense visually to me but cant really state why. The center would be included in a triangle where the third point lies within the sector directly opposite the sector defined by the first two points and the circles center. okay, i give up. So onto the polygons, seems the probability would be 25% if the opposite quadrants have 1/4 the perimeter, 1/4 the area, and are bilaterally symmetrical?
EDIT: not sure on that opposite quadrants being bilaterally symmetrical bit or if all four quadrants do need to be equal

didn't ruin the puzzle at all DD. no need to sell yourself short. I enjoyed from the start but was obviously a little behind in the end. cheers.
-
Yes indeed fp. but not too frightening from what I've witnessed as not tee totally. now that would be scary. nicely done.

You know its in the bag
Unless you drop the ball
Before the whistle's blown
Then waiting for the draw
Leaves much to be desired
It's cut and dry at best
Suspended once in service
There's still time for the rest
For a shred of evidence
Remains to be seen
If you read into it
The answer you might glean -

hey hey DD - know it's tough to post and not have any idea how it's going. want you to know I'm enjoying struggling with this one.
not much as of yet. six six letter words - coincidence? don't see much relationship between words with the possible exception of SHORED and BRACER but even that relationship breaks down considering tense and parts of speech. thinking this is more of a manipulation of letters. Alternating letters perhaps from the title?
will get there DD. thanks for posting and your patience.
