We all studied math, right? Algebra, calculus, trigonometry, solving x's and y's, etc. I'm sure you also encounter the quadratic formula.
Well, when you enter the corporate world, did you realize that these lessons are not useful after all? I sure am.
The non-profit organization Khan Academy (a 501c3) uploaded the enclosed video examining the Parthenon of the Athenian Acropolis for its Smarthistory series:
Remember my post about the Friendliest Fleet and shipping mathematics? I got news and further adventures in statomancy and logistics!
I didn’t expect this project would run on for three posts, yet here it is, the next installment! Continuing on from Modernized Friendliest Fleet I can now offer you a complete listing of all known pony (and some not so pony) pairing ships, (with caveats) rated by upvotes-per-day. (with caveats…)
Continuing from Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, now with fewer caveats!
Good to see in Common Ground that the analysis of Buckball statistics I imagined in Buckball Abstract is now canon.
I think it must be time to investigate this branch of applied mathematics further.
Going to Seed provides more than one puzzle for those who love trying to decipher how Equestria works. If tales of the Great Seedling were not enough to engage your intellect, here’s another mystery: What the hay is the Confluence?
“The Confluence. A harvest a hundred moons in the makin'. When every apple comes ripe at the same time.”
How many words of dialogue do you think are in all of the episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? How does the answer change if you include the movie, the holiday special, the various shorts, and the Rainbow Roadtrip special? How does the answer change if you include all canon Equestria Girls material? Bonus Round: How does the answer change if you include all lines of dialogue in the official comics and official books?
Have fun! I don't know the answer!
Well, not statistics per se, but mathematics. With some unexpected conclusions.
It started yesterday, when Fylifa, who had been asking me to figure out a way to compare the popularity of different ships based on the Fimfarchive dataset – something that remains a puzzle, because FimFiction does not have shipping tags, and figuring out which ships a particular story espouses from text alone is nontrivial – came up with one herself.
Season 1 - Ocean of Fear
Season 2 - It Came From The Nightosphere
Season 3 - What Was Missing
Season 4 - I Remember You
Season 5 - All The Little People
Season 6 - The Comet
Season 7 - The More You Moe, The Moe You Know
Season 8 - The Music Hole
Season 9 - Whispers
Season 10 - Come Along With Me
P.S. Mathematical!
The most apes use decimal currency. In most currencies, the largest currencies are 100 or 1,000. The smallest denominations is generally .01. One could have these denominations:
1,000.00
0,100.00
0,010.00
0,001.00
0,000.10
0,000.01
The denominations are far apart, thus making change difficult. Most countries use pseudonbinary:
1,000.00
0,500.00
0,250.00
0,100.00
0,050.00
0,025.00
0,010.00
0,005.00
0,002.00
0,001.00
0,000.50
0,000.25
0,000.10
I like to write at least one chapter ahead... usually don't get to on account of my slowness. But this time I wrote a chapter ahead and it was around 70K. I like to divide my chapters up here at between 40 and 50K since longer is harder to load and search through, and shorter is too jerky and noncommittal. Limiting it at 45K or so obliges me to occasionally make sure the scene is clearly established, instead of just running on continuously forever.
I love Electoral Mathematics.
I haven't been able to write (or do) hardly anything in months, even though I'm off during the Summer and stuck inside. At first I thought it was mental illness, but much of it's still physical, and I don't quite know where the separation twixt the two lies.
Also, the brony world appears to have descended into chaos.
¡Today is TauDay! It is a day devoted to the 1 True CircleConstant:
τ = ( c / r ) ≈ 6.28318530717959
It fall on this day because the decimal expansion looks like this date (yyyyy-06-28). For more information, go to TauDay.Com:
¡Isaac Asimov is 100 years old today!
I like writing my most recent story, however I'm at a sort of standstill. I want to try something different with it so it doesn't grow stale, both for reading and writing purposes. I don't know. But I also feel like like that's kind of cheating and so I have some reservations.
I thought I'd posted this somewhere. Might have just been Patreon. Anywho, here is something from the same world as my Mimic Slime series.
