Very nice, Horizon. Simple and sweet. I was thinking too much into limits of geometric series and the like.
-
I thought we could only use the sugar, the scale, and the weight? I thought about this kind of thing, but we have no ruler.

Sorry, made a silly mistake....

I'm assuming that you want the limit of the sequence. I don't think I've learned enough to do the whole proof, but I got an answer:

Well things have been better with school, but I still have a lot going on. If it looks like I can, I'll start playing again, but that still might not be for a while. I can't wait to play again, though. And thanks for the welcome.

It'll be a good new challenge, though. This way the goodies have to have a well-weighted consensus or the baddies can get multiple goodies with one lynch.

Wolfgang's hint made me think...

Yeah, that's the main reason I've thought of base 12 and base 30. 2, 3, and 4 are very common numbers, so duodecimal or even sexagesimal would work well with that. I think the main reason 5 is so common is the decimal system and our fingers. With that and number of characters, I like duodecimal the best. Not that I'm saying that we should change. I like decimal , too. It would be virtually impossible, anyway. Quag is right about teaching it, though I've read that ancient Egyptians counted in base 12 by counting the finger knuckles with the thumb.

This has been on my mind for a while, and I would like to see what others think. What would be the best numeral system for everyday use? Of course, some systems are better in certain situtaions, as in binary for computer logic, but isn't the only reason we use a decimal system that that's how it has (virtually) always been done? Did it only arise because we have ten fingers and ten toes?

When you are always thinking about differently based numbering systems. ...And when you calculate fibonaccis in base-twelve. Edit: And know fifty digits of pi. Not to mention having a pi shirt....

Wouldn't all of that handling of the sugar get it all moist and sticky, giving you more weight than just sugar?

Very nice Curr3nt. It even works for a square with only a corner touching the inner circle and two on two congruent circles. Odd slopes don't matter because you can always turn the picture so the rectangle is at right angles to the frame.

Colbizzy: By concentric, it means they all have to have the same center point, like a target.

That's what I said.

I need to start writing these posts faster. Spaceball beat me to it.

WIT: Make sure the you've got the taser aimed at Robbie and that your finger is on the trigger. You: It's over Robbie. It's time to tell me what you know. I've got an elite police force waiting outside, and if they suspect anything or if I don't report back in five minutes, they will break in and are prepared to shoot on sight. If he makes any sudden movement, tase him instantly. You: What do you know about Sergio? EDIT: Forgot to ask a question.

Yeah. You can even redirect an action back onto the same person.

Nevermind.
