Meh, just put your question and wrong answer in a meme and post it anywhere, within an hour everyone will correct it with the right answer 😂

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 74 points 7 months ago

Or post your question with a picture of Kurisu Makise saying "you should be able to solve this"

That's how they got a 4chan user to post the solution to an unsolved math problem

Holy shit that's actually amazing

[-] exocrinous@startrek.website 9 points 7 months ago

I'm clearly not understanding the problem, because I think the only answer is 14!. What am I getting wrong?

The question is about "superpermutations". The permutations of 1 and 2 are "12" and "21". A "superpermutation" would be "1221". It contains the numbers 1 and 2 as well as all permutations of 1 and 2. However "121" is also a superpermutation of 1 and 2. It also contains "12" and "21" and it's shorter than "1221".

The problem is finding the shortest superpermutation. Stand-up Maths has a video where he interviews a mathematician that published Anonymous' solution. So yes, there is a math paper where the main author is "Anonymous 4chan Poster".

What’s funny is that watching The Endless Eight already feels like you’re watching 93,884,313,611 episodes of Haruhi

I seriously could not believe what I was watching when I got to that part. I would start the next one thinking "there is no way... Yep, again". How did the director even convince people to do it?

As annoying as it was to slog through the episodes (I think I went through 5 of them before realizing I wasn’t missing much skipping the other three), there is something to be said about how much it captures that feeling of uselessness that Kyo and Yuki have. Kyo begins to realize each time and Yuki is forced to be aware through each repetition. Haruhi is so powerful that she creates an endless time loop, that was both amazing and terrifying.

Thats the really weird part, Nagato could end it whenever she wanted, yet she always chooses to tell them just enough to keep it going forever

[-] astraeus@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

She can’t interfere, her job is to monitor and observe and only stop Haruhi if she’s going to endanger the universe. So even with the ability to stop her, she can’t do anything by the code of her position.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Thats the thing, she does interfere, but just enough that it keeps happening. 100% no interference would be not even telling them that there is a loop going on when they try to find out
