Re: The future of PPT

The Neodex is broken... :( With so much info in there, that really needs to get back up... Any ETA?

Also, Tarla was an opportunity to add eyes via Twitter (and hope they become community members and join the forums too), but that event's almost over now. :(

It might be by server grouping (similar to how usernames are grouped on shop wizard results). Just got the here's-your-bonus e-mail.

Re: Lenny Conundrum 277 and 278

I guessed too high... Oh well, one more try!

One way to get a handle on the first conundrum:
1) Not everyone is going to guess reasonably. Consider how many entries are definitely going to be wrong, such as disqualifications and "100" and other random guesses near the high end. 10%? 5%? 25%?
2) Out ...

I checked my stats against AySz88, and even though I did less testing and didn't max on all of the battles, somehow I got more points...doesn't make any sense.

Re: The Return of Dr. Sloth [Split 11]

About the above: This plot was supposed to explain why purple pets have orange spots (I think it was mentioned in an NT editorial). For some reason, that's totally missing - even though they still have purple/orange for the grundos...

I have to agree with most of the sentiments here... The plot ...

Yeah; the guy in charge is sometimes slow to clean up after the old game and start the new game. When he gets around to it, I'm sure things will be straightened out. :)

Re: The Return of Dr. Sloth [Split 11]

a=100 b=150 isn't a possible set of numbers.

A+B must be >= 400. (and less that the diagional distance across the square+400)

Ok, so for this activity, the numbers have to be greater than 400 combined. I understand now.

In the formula I posted that wasn't a problem. (I didn't make the formula ...

Using up so many cells in the spreadsheet is kinda silly...

I think it'd be easier to use this instead:

A B C D E

Re: The Return of Dr. Sloth [Split 11]

Just keep it simple. Add two zeros and multiply by decimal.(whatever your percent is)

Therefore from Daze's example, 4.4L @12% just quickly type into your calc

4400 x .12

That's a little too simple - 7% of 1.0L should be 1000*.07 = 70mL, but you'd get 1000*.7 = 700 mL.

Re: The Return of Dr. Sloth [Split 11]

With a calculator, it's probably easier to type in percentage*volumeIgnoringTheDecimalPoint. This way, you don't have to think as much about single-digit percentages - you just glom the digits together. So
12% of 3.4 L is 12*34
1% of 2.3 L is 1*23
12% of 3.0 L is 12*30

You can also use Google's ...

- Why do the coordinates on the gravitics test have to be tiny white text on a white line? Sooo hard to read!!

Re: Dr Sloth Plot Step Organisation & Help - Token Testing

Stupid Question about the Gravitics formula: I'm a little very extremely utterly hopelessly rusty on my math. What does the "a^2" notation mean? "a" squared? Or "a" multiplied by 2? I'm trying to see if I can possibly do all the math myself with a calculator in the allotted time, since the ...
