Manticore

 

This puzzle has been viewed 89 times and nobody in this august crowd has been able to figure out the solution.

 

There is an important lesson here. Given the same set of facts, many if not most people are unable to reach what is a clearly valid conclusion.

Even AFTER zapatos acknowledged that the blind prisoner "knows for certain" that he is "not wearing" a red hat, he still claims "the blind guy doesn't know with certainty."

 

Amusing, no?

 

Solution: Prisoner #1 does NOT see 2 red hats.

Prisoner #2 does NOT see 2 red hats on #1 and #3, BUT IN ADDITION, he does NOT see a red hat on #3, for IF HE DID, he would know his own hat was black.

Prisoner #3, who is blind, recognizes the value of information gleaned from prisoner's #1 and #2 and says, "My hat is black. Buh bye."

 

All the blather and bluster here about intellectualism and rationalism seem rather misplaced.

 

Your egotistical rant might make some kind of sense if you were right.

The Bible:

Whole sections stolen from older legends - yes.

Wishful thinking

I think "difference" or "differential" would have been the appropriate term.

Whoops. I was half asleep when I wrote 'gradient'.

Just do a search (I use Duckduckgo because fuck Google) for aerodynamics software - there's quite a lot.

Sounds like it might be fun. If I can find the time I'll have a play with that.

You need to look at the charge gradient - not the actual charge relative to the external world.

As far as simulations go: Try messing around with fuzzy logic.

From Wikipedia:

"Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth values of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false."

Add a bit of randomness & I guarantee you won't get the same results from a program every time. Include a learning algorithm & it's liable to end up at least as unpredictable as me at my most chaotic.

 

So from now on, nothing but links to scientific studies, got it.

 

Can you clarify something first? Are you talking about homosexuality in nature, like Simpson17866 mentioned, or are you talking about human homosexuality, as Manticore was linking to? Also, do you think humans are part of nature? Or do you consider them unnatural?

The OP had already started one thread (closed down immediately):

"l and I bet ya the only studies out there are atheistic. Where are the studies by scientists that say being gay is natural? None. Thought so. Sinners."

So; definitely aimed at human homosexuality.

I suspect many (a majority?) of homophobes are repressed homosexuals.

Without even looking at it, I can say that, like most diet fads, it is almost certainly bullshit.

 

You must be kidding... with his level of knowledge (or rather lack of it)....

 

When America was great?

When it was devastating environment while nuclear bomb tests? Causing cancer in its own soldiers watching tests and population living today in country..

Or when it was nuclear bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, mass vaporizing civilians, mass vaporizing children.. ?

30% of Americans at a time ~'45 during survey, asked about the event, LIKED vaporizing children (or they completely didn't understand question what really happened?)

Or when industry was devastating environment burning coal, oil, and gas, in environment unfriendly way.. ?

Or when America was/is producing and distributing weapons around the world to help people murder other people.. ?

Tell me, WHEN America was great?

Never. Except in it's collective head.

http://science27.com appears to be a crackpot site (Elastic Universe????).

Today I learned that the modern jet engine was invented by the Bucharest-born inventor Henri Coanda in 1910.

Jet engine yes. Modern no. Coanda used a piston engine as the compressor.

When I was young, I smoked a piece of glass with a candle and watched an eclipse through it - worked perfectly.

Here's what Brian Koberlein has to say about it.

everybody has a version of the creator .

 

No we don't.

Today I learned that Baby oil does not come from babies. Instead it is a perfumed mineral oil.

The one that always amuses me is Mouse Milk Oil.

Avoiding junk food is easy - unless you have some secret craving to eat shit (even then, I would have thought it cheaper to just fish it out of the toilet).

What makes you think there is any sort of ultimate goal or direction - that is pure conceit.

Every day I find new reasons to be thankful I live in a civilised country.

Theory of God ,IMHO i think god was always trying to say something .But if i post something from the holy books , everybody is going to think its stupid even for internet standards

 

So i am not going to post it .

 

I think it fits a nice alternative theory or a way of thinking

Which of the infinite number of possible (assuming gods are possible - very unlikely IMHO) gods are you referring to.

No.

My BS alert goes off whenever I see 'electromagnetism' and 'gravity' used together in one sentence.

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way

Damn! my brain must be going. I had to check to be sure that was Dylan Thomas.
