Yep, it was someone else. Dunno why I thought it was you, but found this in the topic and it cracked me up:

It's also a Futurama reference, but the wording in Family Guy was less situational.

"Wise guy, eh? If I wasn't so lazy I'd punch you in the stomach."

"But you are lazy, right?"

"Ahh, don't get me started!"

So, Guru, kill yourself.

1492

Nope. 183 is too low.

Wow Dorby very nice job.

How'd you get your answer?

stargroup · 10-15-2009, 04:01 PM

oh I thought you solved it yourself

**Dorby** · 10-15-2009, 04:03 PM

Sorry I thought you were saying my answer was low.

MrRubix · 10-15-2009, 04:17 PM

1492 is what I got too -- so I think Dorby (and myself) are right

I don't want to spoil it for anyone else who wants to do it themselves -- I'll just say that using recursive triangular logic is a really effective way to think about the problem. Start off with the outer triangular dimensions to give you a place to launch the rest of your solving.

I am actually having issues with Question 5 on that thing... I've got answers for the rest of them, but I've always been absolutely **** at proofs.

**Dorby** · 10-15-2009, 04:41 PM

I'm very intrigued by this website, I'll have to dive into some more problems sometime.

stargroup · 10-15-2009, 05:00 PM

Rubix post your solution or message me on AIM with your solution
