    One last pair to go...

  1. Okay, I've been stuck for a while but then I realized I may be way over-thinking some of these:

    4. T-bird-T=bird

    8. martini-I=martin

    The last line makes me think something with 'amp'...but maybe that's just me ;P

  2. ...although I like doing so in my primary language ;P

    1. O Wonder! How many goodly creatures there are here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, that has such people in it! The Tempest

    2. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Julius Caesar (one of my favorite passages of all time, btw...I love how Antony turns the masses against the conspirators without uttering a single bad word against them...so elegant ;D)

    3. To be or not to be, that is the question. Hamlet

    4. O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore are thou Romeo? Romeo and Juliet

    6. If music be the food of love, play on.

    The last one escapes me for the time being :/.

  3. Okay, he might not poof, but he can't answer either, and a non-answer is an answer ;P. My logical setup was not F->T, it was F->no longer a simple yes/no question. Your example is a case where the premise is always false, in which case the statement itself has no inherent meaning and therefore you can manipulate it as you will. The question I used I posed is either true or false, in the case it is true, it is a yes/no question, but if the first part is false, then it is not a yes/no question.

    I.e. if I asked you:

    If you are going on vacation this month, are you going leaving for more than a week?

    If the first part is true, then it is a simple yes/no question. If it is not, you would answer with, like, "I'm not going on vacation this month" or sth. If you answered yes or no, it would indicate you are going on vacation this month.

    There will be a one-week hiatus before sign-ups for round 5 start. Thank you.


  5. North Team

    Team account - 601

    South Team

    Team account - 599

    After returning the original 200mil, each member of the North Team is up by 0.67mil and each member of the South Team is down by 0.67mil.

    Will update the overall roster sometime later this weekend.

  6. Online equation solver ;). Okay, yes, I'm lazy :P.

    You have a great knowledge of different mathematical principles, but I abhor memorizing things and hence, although the name "Snell's Law" sounds vaguely familiar, I have no memory of what it actually entails. For me, calculus is very intuitive and finding a max/min via derivative is second nature ^_^.

  7. If I'm reading this correctly...

    ...is 39.35m away from A, assuming A is the point along the shore that corresponds to Mitch's initial position.

    The equation for the total time it takes Mitch to get to the child is: t=1/4*sqrt(x^2+80^2)+1/8*sqrt((280-x)^2+120^2), where x is the distance from A to the point Mitch hits the shoreline.

    Taking a derivative and setting equal to zero gives the minimum, after some messy algebra.

  8. I'd ask, like, "If there is at least one door to the left of the correct door, is there more than one door to the left of the correct door?"

    Or any question that is posed: IF [something that is not true for one of the doors] is true, THEN is [something that is true for only one of the remaining doors] true?

  9. His reptilatarian effort to tenaciously cure his comrades of their Brobdingnagian case of xenophobia, which the rest of the scaly skinned world criticized as overly quixotic, is why the axolotl was awarded the Dinobel Peace Prize.

    Seraph, luminescent, orchestrate, Machiavellian, trench coat.
