  1. i tend to agree with James. however let's try this construction. first, I'll use binary, so only 1 and 0. then I'll construct a transcendental number. let 0->01 and 1 -> 0 0 01 010 01001 01001010 repeat indefinitely, use this number as our 1. 1 -> 0.01001010.. we know the rational numbers are countably infinite, and doubling the rational numbers is not enough to change countability. so, i propose we rotate between the list of rational numbers, and xor the list rational numbers with this transcendental number. prove this doesn't go through every positive number.
  2. edit: my numbers are too large to be sensical 1. KOP TRANSFER 1000x KOOC to MoMa 2. MoMa TRANSFER 500x JKEL to KOP 3. MoMa SELL 1000x KOOC 4. MoMa BUY 3340x TECN 5. KOP SELL 700x KOOC 6. KOP BUY 240x JKEL 7. Phil1882 Buy 161 CRAK, 366 PENS, 1693 TECN, 281 RETR

  4. granted. since i must currupt that wish, i change the order of the words such that the wish reads: my (the genie) that you corrupt I wish or anyone else's wish will.
  5. okay i see. i was reading "only if" more literally rather than its actual inverse statement.
  6. i guess it depends on your definition of random. my guess would be 1.
  7. i'm pretty sure that statement is true for any base.
  8. the problem statement is unclear. i'm unsure of what you mean by "remove the nothing space above all the numbers to where the numbers are shifted up until they are at the top creating a list of new numbers." do you mean concatinate a number below with the number above together?
  9. so here's how it works. let's say you own 40 stock. you want to sell. if more people want that stock than you have available the price goes up. good for you. if very few or no one wants it, the price goes down. bad for you. my personal recomondation is to diversify. you win some stocks and lose others. in agragate you'll come out even, in the short term however you can expect to gain 2-5% of your investment. the key is to try to predict what you think everyone else wants. if you think everyone is going to want stock A in two turns, you want stock A in one, and then sell it on turn three, unless you expect more people to invest turn three.
  10. let's say you use a cube, it can even be a companion cube. i think it depends on which side of the cube the portal is on. for example, if its on the oppisite end, the cube would reverse. if its on the side the front would now be the side. if its on the front... i dont think you could put it through, as the cube would efectively be trying to go through itself.
