sniffnoyTo understand the title, see last entry. Catesby claims to have found a paradox in the rules and has submitted an RFJ on the matter.
OK. Other stuff that happened today...
Not a lot. We missed history due to that college-room thing.
Here's an annoying little problem (actually 2 separate problems) I found somewhere:
Find two real functions, f and g, such that ∀x, f(f(x))=-x, and ∀x≠0, g(g(x))=1/x. (0 doesn't even have to be in the domain of g, not that it matters.)
I've managed to find a g, but not an f.
...alright, transcript time!
[Note: At this time, Gren's name (this was on MSN, so he can change it) actually consisted of a bunch of Japanese characters; however, because it was so long, I set it to just display as "[Grenadier]". Earlier he had mentioned how some people might see his name just as boxes.]
(20:00:17) Sniffnoy: ooh to anyone who sees your name as boxes
(20:00:37) Sniffnoy: you should claim that it says "Invalid Character Man" :)
(20:00:43) [Grenadier]: :-D
(20:00:48) [Grenadier]: Good idea. :)
(20:03:12) Sniffnoy: no, better yet
(20:03:24) Sniffnoy: tell them they can't see it because they don't have the security clearance! :D
(20:03:33) [Grenadier]: Oooh
(20:03:39) [Grenadier]: Sure. :)
Er, that's it, really. Yay for pointless entries!

If floor(|x|)==0 (mod 2): f(x)=-(x+|x|/x)
If floor(|x|)==1 (mod 2): f(x)=x-|x|/x
To set the record straight...

Romanization: Gurenadia ~kimi no te de kirisaite tooi hi no kioku o~
Translation: Grenadier ~Cut through memories of days past with your hands~
It's a line from Melissa, the opening song of 鋼の錬金術師 (Full Metal Alchemist).
And there's no security rating anymore. :-P
