The You Game!

[PluMGMK]

< points out that quotes alone don't validate the "^" symbol!

[Master]

< sees ^'s point, but < prefers to do that than have a long line of "^"

[Shrooblord]

Ok, so ^^^ should've said "^ · 131 is right about..." then?

[Rayfist]

< Fixed his post.

[rolesfamily]

<Is settlin' down into <'s online time

Ok, so ^^^ should've said "^ · 131 is right about..." then?

< points out that technically it would be "^131". < points out that this isn't the PAY game though so technically the word "you" is usable. < should stop since < is neither a mod nor Xenesus.

[Master]

^'s mathematical approach to the You Game has left < intrigued.

[PluMGMK]

< does <'s best.

[Master]

Hehe, < is also trying to do <'s best in keeping up with ^ and the rest of the folk in the ULR thread, < isn't well versed with the art of Hex editing.

[rolesfamily]

<Really isn't any good at maths

Not really - what is a 'you' to the power of 131 even represent? Is that a 131th iteration of that person? Is it that person times themselves? What does that even mean?

If we're getting technical here, <'s going the full monty.

< says that when we write the symbol "^" twice, it means "^ × ^", i.e. "^2". Therefore if we write it 131 times in succession, it is "^ × ^ × ^ × … × ^", i.e. "^131". < supposes it would be less confusing if we worked with indices using anything other than a symbol which can itself be used to represent indices.

[Shrooblord]

< guesses that works since i3 equals i · i · i. However, since '^' is a direct reference to a name, <'s scientist self gets shoved aside for <'s programmer self and that person immediately substitutes '^' with its assigned value as if it were a variable.

So, PluMGMK, what does PluMGMK think of PluMGMK and ShrooblordShrooblord's discussion?

[Master]

Hmm, < would've thought ^^ would represent 2 x ^ in the context of the You Game, but if we're talking proper maths, ^^ would be ^2

[Shrooblord]

Master speaks wise words that Shrooblord tried to relay to PluMGMKPluMGMKPluMGMK as well.

Shrooblord's programmer self took over and is now calling all instances of references to be represented as the value they reference, as opposed to the variable assigned to them as their display value! Build error! Could not compile~~

Ah, okay!

< has been playing "La Bombe !" on this site for years, which is why < gets so mathematical in these off-topic games.

[Master]

< doesn't mind ^ getting mathematical, < wonders if we'll start moving into calculus.

[PluMGMK]

Um…

d(<'s posts per day)/dt > 0 => d(<'s satisfaction)/dt > 0

[Reese Riverson]

< thinks you two would give < a headache over that math.

[Master]

< sees Plum has given us two differential equations, in which he describes the rate of posts per day and rate of satisfaction.
