I'm working on some statistics reporting for webdip, and I'm interested in what the forum thinks: Are "Gunboat" games just games with no messaging, or are they games with no messaging that are also anonymous?

Lusthog history
Does anyone know where the Lusthog diplomacy variant came from? I can't find references to it outside of webdiplomacy- is it an in-house invention? Who gets the credit?

Rainbow facebook friends
so, i have looked through my friendlis and out of around 98 people, i only have 2 people who have rainbow picks. I am in the center of utah in a community of around 70% mormons, so mine is probably way lower than average. I want to compare it to how off from the usual it is, so how many rainbow friends do you have?

Riddle Me This
I recently saw this riddle and I thought it was a good few minutes of fun. Enjoy.

Please don't post the answer on the thread, but you can PM to verify if you got it right.

Sam and Pete were tasked to find the same two numbers. Sam was given the sum of the two numbers and Pete the product of the two numbers. The numbers were equal to or greater than two.

Sam said, “I don’t know what the two numbers are.”

Pete said, “I knew you didn’t, but neither do I.”

Sam said, “Now I know the numbers.”

What are the numbers?

KingCyrus (511 D)
22 Jun 15 UTC
So far no one has guessed... I forgot about that other one Valis, but I think this one is a bit harder as there are no limits. The other one gave specific limits, and this one doesn't.

And yes, positive integers only.

How is it not a math problem, KC?
yassem (2533 D)
24 Jun 15 UTC
Well, it kind of is, but you have to give it to KC, it is a bit based on guessing. I mean - I don't think there's an easy analogical way to get the result other than trying a bunch of them. I was lucky enough to guess it correctly on the first try, but I imagine it could take checking other pairs first before coming to this conclusion.
ghug (5068 D(B))
24 Jun 15 UTC
I mean, you can fit it into a pretty tight range by putting bounds on the number of factors for the product and the number of 2-partitions for the sum. It's also pretty easily answerable, which means it probably does have a purely "mathematical" solution. More importantly though, who says a math problem has to be solvable?
KingCyrus (511 D)
24 Jun 15 UTC
It is more a logic problem than a math problem, as jbalcorn said.

Score:
5 correct
1 wrong

Since when is logic not part of math? *headscratch*
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))
24 Jun 15 UTC
It can be proven that it works for the given number, but I can't, off the top of my head, come up with a simple proof that it doesn't work for any other numbers. I'm sure it doesn't, though.

if you enjoy logic puzzles, then you should enjoy this.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
24 Jun 15 UTC
I get two answers (as in two distinct pairs of numbers) that satisfy the statements we were given.
yassem (2533 D)
24 Jun 15 UTC
Surely it doesn't. KC might be mad on me for saying this - SPOILER ALERT - but it would require a number, for which all the possible pairs that sum to it are primes, except for exactly one. I guess that is the most analogical way to solve this.
yassem (2533 D)
24 Jun 15 UTC
Just for the record, I consulted Yaleunc and I believe the second one is not valid.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
24 Jun 15 UTC
I was assuming they are looking for two different numbers. If the two numbers can be the same number twice then I agree there is only one solution.
JamesYanik (548 D)

guys, logic and math are TOGETHER on this one
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

So, let's put the answer out there, the logic behind it, and debate yaleunc's other 'answer'

Radicals vs ?
A recent conversation made me look once more at what i think of politics...

Also i have a clear idea in my head if what a radical is, but what is their opposite? A non-radical? A (small c) conservative? A compromiser?
