Ok i will watch some algebra videos

Then think about it

There is a square town of unknown dimensions. There is a gate in the middle of each side. Twenty paces outside the North Gate is a tree. If one leaves the town by the South Gate, walks 14 paces due south, then walks due west for 1775 paces, the tree will just come into view. What are the dimensions of the town?

this problem is apparently from ancient China

I could just walk along one side of the square town and tell ya, why do all this crap? 😂

I’m certain it would be less than 1789 paces to do so.

@StoneCold316 way to be in the spirit of things

That's complicated but i think 2 dimensions

Hahha sorry. I just finished playing a an FPS game for 2 hours online. Not very ‘deep’ right now - just wanna point n shoot

Witch game u play

@BobbyMack
That's actually an unsolvable problem, that's likely intended to add a missing parameter stating that the town is NS/EW aligned. If so it's possible to create 3 triangles where the NW corner of the town is the division of hypotenuse of a single larger one defining the tree coming into view, and solve them for city edge length. (too lazy to bother now; that's not complex, just a nuisance to work through) If the town isn't aligned on a cardinal points grid, the rest of the dimensions don't allow a solution.

@everyone there will be no livestream today on YouTube, but please don't let that stop you from engaging. 🙂✌

oh, you can come for speaking to voice chat

Matt Inman of The Oatmeal prompted Sarah Donner to write his works a theme song, "The Fucking Pterodactyl". What kind of music might be fitting for Zach Weiner-Smith of SMBC, or Randall Munroe of xkcd?

a hint to one of the math thought teasers above: When does 2+2=0 ?

(2+2)*0=0

(hint 2: pre-calc/trig should make some of those easier, but they're answerable with a strong 4th grade number systems knowledge, unlike what bad schools often deliver.)

> (2+2)*0=0
@emile
Not the same equation, when one adds a term.

Okay tell me what is the oldest tample in the world @LokiV

@LokiV the problem is solvable. You will be lead to a polynomial of degree 5, with 4 extraneous solutions and 1 real, positive solution

@BobbyMack
Only if a grid alignment parameter is added, that's missing. And that's the composite of the 3 right triangles I mentioned, based on a city edge variable and partial/full hypotenuse elements, and the step offsets, stacked from a series of basic Pythagorean theorum elements.

What does a grid alignment parameter mean?

Oh I see what you're saying, it assumes that we are using the conventions of north, south, east and west, yes. I didn't think that had to be specified

@everyone YouTube has slapped me with a 1 month advertising ban.. I am fighting it. No specific explanation given... Social Extremism is staking its claim... we must resist cancel culture. It is moving the goalposts further.

Blame that on frauds in the US legal and political systems.

Scams like Facebook and Amazon have perpetrated enough criminal acts so they should just be summarily shut down. An Alphabet (Google parent) is so huge and prolific, it's overdue to subject it to the neutrality obligations of some mix of "public accommodation" and utility, with quasi-government civil rights mandates, not private business entitlements to operate arbitrarily. The editorial tampering policies of all of the above are used in ways that none should qualify for the DMCA "safe harbor" immunity all of those and more claim, absent lawyering frauds to pretend content based speech censorship isn't that, under dishonest "community guidelines" designed to reflect some mix of corporate profit plans, or management prejudices.

Those are big changes to some pretty powerful profit and power centers, in major institutions. They're even messier when absurdities of US law are extended globally.
