  1. Hmm...both of them using three thumbs up smilies could mean smoth is planning on taking action on flamebirde (3rd in the roster) or me (C3). With Cat confirming. smoth had 7 ! and Cat only had 3. maurice is the 7th in the roster so maybe they are suggesting getting maurice to go after the 3. How deep does the conspiracy go?
  2. "go goodies" is an EDM thing. smoth wants us to think EDM is secretly mentoring him. Cat is now countering the EDM mentor claim which is a suprise attack seeing as how it is only N1. I'm curious to see how it plays out. And you are wrong mew. I trust you, mboon and lancelot.

    If I had any feelings you might have hurt them.

    MissKitten can take my spot. She might live longer against maurice.

    Hmm... you all do not care about f(n). You are just trying to sum up all the combinations that is <= n. So for s(10)... 1+2+3 <= 10 yields 2^3-1 = 7 combinations. What is the equation then for adding 5 and 8? Adding 5 means 2^4-1 combinations but 2^3-1 have already been used so we have (2^4-1) - (2^3-1) = 8 How do you determine how many are over 10 with an equation? { 5, 5+3, 5+2, 5+1, 5+3+2, 5+3+1, 5+2+1 } = 7 Seems he is leading to s(10) = 2^3-1 + s(10-5) + s(10-8) s(5) : 1+2 <= 5 : 2^2-1 + s(5-3) + s(5-5) s(2) : 1 < 2 : 2^1-1 + s(2-2) if... 2^2-1 = { 5+2+1, 5+2, 5+1 } s(5-3) ....2^1-1 = { 5+3+1 } ....s(2-2) = { 5+3+2 } s(5-5) = { 5+3 } then where is the { 5 } ? And since s(2) = 2 how does s(10-8) = 3 for the three combinations with 8? It is looking like 2^3 - 1 + s(10-5) + 1 + s(10-8) + 1 Since s(10-5) actually covers all the combinations of 5 with 1+2+3 but doesn't include 5 by itself. Same with s(10-8) covers the combinations of 1+2 that can go with 8 but not 8 by itself.

    If I die N1 maurice is a baddie...

    ??? I do not understand where your equation comes from...

    I can pretend to not know what I'm doing.

    Not sure if helpful but there seems to be a pattern in getting the number of sum equations.

    gah...I can't get it to display...

    The questions will be marked wrong until they are true. #1 can't be A or B. If A then #1 answer would have to be B to be correct. If B then #2 would have to be the first question with the answer B but #1 would actually be the first with the answer B. So it has to be C, D or E. Check one of them and then make the corresponding question a B. You'll see that #1 is now marked true. You could have the correct answer for a question set but it will be flagged incorrect until the related questions have been answered correctly.

    Solved it. That was a mess...but fun. I got a correct answer for #1

  17. Just because it isn't what you wanted doesn't mean it doesn't work.
