[19:22] hehe [19:24] I feel ill today :-( [19:25] Tired, and not even hungry [19:25] no illness love can't hurt, besides terminating illnesses, and I hope you don't have one. [19:27] I found a prime, but unfortunately it had already been discovered 5 weeks ago by someone else :-( [19:28] metaphorically? [19:28] heh [19:29] I just rediscovered this one http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=76603 [19:30] 11.09.2003.. [19:32] 11.09.2003?

[19:45] oh. nothin' ... :) [19:46] * Roy whistles and looks a 'John' suspiciously [19:47] I was sure I made a paper until I saw the score on the hill [19:49] Hmmm... actually it's the scanner I pasted to the log. I wonder where my paper went [19:51] * brx registers a paypal account [19:51] * brx has the feeling he has some uses for it in the near future [19:52] You can set up an online gambling site now [19:52] Players can bet who will solve brx's riddle first [19:52] * Roy giggles [19:53] yes. but there is a drawback, money is not good for me. :( [19:54] usually, I am *very* talkative. you know.. I like to.. talk about things. when I have money I become all quiet and desinterested ;) [19:55] if you.. get ..... my ........... d r i f t............... [19:55] No [19:55] Do you have money today? :-) [19:56] John: maybe we will all _find out_ in a bit :) [19:56] Okay :-) [19:58] John: remember when I told you about finding something about you on google? ;) [19:58] that was a while ago. [19:59] No idea what you are talking about :-) [19:59] just bits.. pieces :) [19:59] Such as? [19:59] but they amount to a total picture, and I always had much pleasure solving puzzles :) [20:07] MSG: Hmmm... I think Roy and brx are trying to bluff me! [20:11] * brx waves at the log readers [20:13] I ought to find something to eat [20:15] MSG: Hmmm... is brx reading the log which he's sitting in #COREWARS? [20:16] fizmo and sf haven't been on lately. [20:16] bvowk too, apart from a quick visit [20:16] neo neither [20:18] so roy. [20:19] what things have you implemented in cw bot already? [20:19] impbot [20:19] err... :-) [20:19] It can get the hill and show it? :P and search for warriors/authors [20:19] let's make a complete list of features [20:19] and then see who completes it first [20:20] me writing from scratch :) [20:22] [21:22:49 up 5 days, 20:19, 2 users, load average: 8.46, 8.29, 8.39] [20:23] heh, I give up :P [20:24] oh come on, look at me. I'm a lazy bum! surely you will do better than me, not to mention the headstart :) [20:25] * Roy is much much lazier ;) [20:25] we could make it a competition for this channel. so it gets completed much faster :) [20:25] of course I will not limit myself to java [20:25] but if you want to make it a requirement, I will give it a go anyway and learn it :) [20:26] * Roy goes to watch tv and boycots this channel [20:26] (after the competition has started) [20:26] sigh. :) [20:26] * Roy waves :-P [20:26] * brx waves :( [20:26] bye bye now [20:26] * brx goes too [20:26] MSG: [20:26] * brx waves [20:47] Phone booth brx? [21:01] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [22:40] MSG: Quit: humhum [23:03] Join: Fluffy joined #corewars [23:03] :) [23:04] Finally I have a little bit time [23:04] but only 5 mins before I go to bed [23:05] For those, who still try to figure out the answer to the snail-riddle, here's the solution. [23:05] Short answer: Yes, it reaches the other end. It needs about 1.6 * 10^43422 years. [23:06] Longer Answer: [23:06] After the n-th second the first cm is stretched to (n+1) cm [23:07] After the n-th second the second cm (behind the snail) is stretched to (n+1)/2 cm [23:07] After the n-th second the third cm (behind the snail) is stretched to (n+1)/3 cm [23:07] Therefore after the n-th second, the way behind the snail is (n+1) * (1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/n) [23:08] After the n-th second the rubber band has a length of (n+1) * 10^5 cm [23:09] Now you only have to figure out, when (n+1) * (10^5 - 1/1 - 1/2 - 1/3 - ...) is below zero [23:09] (It is, because 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + .... diverges) [23:10] Now you might know ;-) that 1/1 + 1/2 + ... behaves more or less like ln(n) - 0.5771 [23:11] And for n = 5 * 10^43429 , ln (n) - 0.5771 > 10 ^5 :-) [23:12] Now convert that to years and you should have the answer [23:12] * Fluffy waves :-) [23:12] Part: Fluffy left #corewars [23:55] Join: Mizcu joined #corewars
