How do I join a game with a password
One of the first games I ever played on here was cancelled due to multi the Mod told me it was less likely to happen if I joined a game with a password. How do I go about doing so? If I don't know anyone yet, how do I get the password? I think I am starting to panic!

Weed: Exactly how bad is it?
Personally, I think that if alcohol is legal under certain limitations, why can't marijuana be legal under the same limits? Marijuana is as safe if not safer than alcohol, so why not? Two states have come to their senses. How many more will follow suit?

Points allocation
Hi I'm new to the site and I saw that you can Draw, Pause, and Cancel
a game, So what does the pause do and how are points allocated when people vote to cancel a game?? Do some people get more points than others? Thanks!

Game Canceled due to Cheating
I just logged on to one of the games I was playing and it said it was going to be cancelled due to one of the players cheating. The player was losing and almost eliminated in this game. So why cancel it? It was a very fun game. Other players where active and fighting until the end.

Is there a way to not cancel it?

This is kinda silly in general, but you definitely shouldn't be allowed to do square and cube roots. There are implied twos and threes there. On the other hand, taking an inverse is an elementary operation (certainly more so that subtracting or dividing), so a solution for 4 is:
4 + (4^(-1) + 4^(-1))^(-1))

"who did 1 or 8"
Draug did 8 "cube root of 8 in place of square rot of 4."

0/0*0=6, Anything divided by 0 is infinity and infinity*0=every real number.
Its a stretch (which would make every math teacher on the planet cringe) but its the only way I could figure out 0.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
23 Feb 14 UTC
@Draug, yeah but how do you indicate a base? With a subscripted number, which we aren't allowed to use.
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Feb 14 UTC
Sqare root has no symbol for a number. Cubed root does.
mendax (321 D)
23 Feb 14 UTC
sqrt doesn't have a 2 in the symbol. As shown by the people using the symbol.

It's not a stretch; it's just wrong.

23 Feb 14 UTC
but in square root the the 2 is implied and not written,in cubed root you must write the 3
Draugnar (0 DX)

mendax (321 D)

Anything divided by zero is not infinity. For example, sin(0)/0 = 1

Does e not count as a number?
Allowing square roots but not cube roots is dumb as hell, there's an implied number in the sqrt that breaks the spirit of that rule.

uclabb came up with a better answer for 4 though. Let's see about 8...

all i said is you CAN NOT add a number
Taking the square root adds no more or fewer numbers than taking the cube root at its essence; convention not requiring physically writing the "2" doesn't mean it isn't there.

Has anyone got anything for 8 yet? I've been messing around with inversion but I'm not getting anywhere.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
23 Feb 14 UTC
I don't know abge. if not then say "the inverse of the natural log of 0" or however you would have to word it to get the same effect. since logs and natural logs aren't numbers in and of themselves

(√(8/8)+8)!=6

Square root adds a 2, solution is invalid
ssorenn (0 DX)
23 Feb 14 UTC
the 2 is implied
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
23 Feb 14 UTC
in that case my solution for 8 works just as well
Draugnar (0 DX)
23 Feb 14 UTC
Um, no. 9! =/= 6. Now put the sqrt outside the parens so it includes the +8 and it is correct.

8/8=1+8=9 √9=3 3!=6
it adds a two

if you're going to be pedantic and change the rules midway through the competition at least be consistent

This is mind blowing to me. Obviously its not the same as Iron mans suit but the idea of it is getting close. I can't imagine what one of those babies would cost. It would however greatly increase Special Ops abilities.

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth
Has anyone ever heard of these? Apparently they are a big thing but throughout all of my readings they have never popped up once. For such a big deal there is little to no proof that they exist.

If you've never heard of them I would recommend looking them up because if they are real it's pretty eye opening.
