it's possible to construct a set of 3 dice, such that no matter what dice your opponent picks first, the dice you pick will beat it. 1v2 1 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 2v3 3 3 3 3 3 6 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 3 3v1 2 2 2 5 5 5 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 6 3 3 3 3 3 3 is it possible to construct a set of 5 dice such that the total of any two dice can be beaten by the total of two other dice?

it's perfectly valid to move a ship and then attack with it on the same turn.

gvg, need your next move.

pretty much, i gave you the move that most closely matched the move you gave me. (you attacked H7 with 4, but H7 is unreachable form where you are, so i attacked F7 instead.)

sure! *hands curr3nt 1 space cookie*

you can move ships to any planet you control, as long as the path is available.

personally i think

basically the moves happen simultaneously, for example, if A attacks B with 15 ships, B has 10 ships at the planet but moves 6 ships there, whether A conquers first and then loses from the move, or B moves first and then A gets deflected, the end result is the same.

hahaha, sure why not.

if two palyers attack the same planet with the same number of ships, i'll consider that a stalemate, both players lose all ships and neither controls the planet (planet doesn't change hands).

yes attack will be combined 10, yes you can attack the same target from multiple planets. yes you can have more than 30 ships, yes you can send ships to planets you control (you have to in fact.) if more than one player attacks the same planet, it goes to the player that attacked with more ships.

greater than or equal to, sorry. i should have clarified that. so the attacker has a slight advantage. also i should note that if a planet has 30 or more ships, it wont produce more.

the colors should be pather red, flamebirde blue, current green, and gvg purple.

Huzzah! go ahead and pm your first moves.

edit: did my first calculation wrong! whoops. if 1000 patients treated, 410 given test A; 590 test B 256 of test A male, with 51 recovering 154 of test A female, with 103 recovering. 539 of test B male, with 128 recovering. 64 of test B female, with 38 recovering. again, test B is better if you know the gender of your patient, but if you don't test A is better.

pat, I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers. 390 patients treated. 160 given test A; 230 test B. if 1000 patients treated, the ratios should be the same. 304 given test A; 696 test B 190 of test A male, with 38 recovering 114 of test A female, with 76 recovering. 635 of test B male, with 151 recovering. 61 of test B female, with 46 recovering. again, test B is better if you know the gender of your patient, but if you don't test A is better.

jim, try actually doing the math. 60/160 > 65/230 if you were to invest in a medicine, i would however recommend B. doctors are generally given the gender of their patient. A would only be better where gender is not known.

so it sounds like a round robin tourney.
