« on: Yesterday at 07:52:44 PM »Got mine. Looks like a British edition with the printed price only in GBP, but quality looks comparable to the individual books we already have.One thing I noticed is that the box has a different list of titles than what the books are. The list doesn't include Tintin and the Soviets or Alph Art which are in the set but does include Tintin & Co. which is not in the set.

Just Shmooze / Re: The funny/strange/interesting/random pictures thread
« on: Yesterday at 05:45:31 PM »First set the parameters. Let's assume the perimeter of the square donut is the same as the circumference of the round donut, and the inner perimeter of the round donut (i.e. the hole's perimeter) is the same as the inner circumference of the round donut. Now which one is bigger.In the original example the side was equal to the diameter
Editing to add the solution.
Let's say the length of the sides of the square donut on the outside are 4" and on the inside are 2". So the perimeters are 16" and 8". (And assume it's 1" in height for simplicity)
The round donut will have the same circumference if the outer diameter is ~5.1" and the inner diameter is ~2.5".
The volume of the square donut is 12 cubic inches (=4" x 4" x 1" - 2" x 2" x 1") and the volume of the round donut is ~15.3 cubic inches (=1*[Pi*5.1^2 - Pi*2.5^2]).
Note that this is not perfect because these are toruses and we have to account for the shape of curve along the z-axis, but it probably won't change the conclusion

Just Shmooze / Re: Math is racist
« on: Yesterday at 04:36:52 PM »If the left would present their ideas without the nonsense, maybe they would find acceptance. What happens is that the nonsense then becomes a part of the narrative and is bound to the subject forever after. If this proposal, with all the racist and white supremacy language, is accepted by the district as is, it will then be taught as reality in colleges. The fact that it is being presented in the context of math, which is mostly black and white (!), makes it all the more ludicrous. It's not (all) the actual proposals that are insane, it's the premise on which it is being presented that is insane.THe right ignoring what is actually being proposed and focusing ENTIRELY on the platitudes is almost as ludirous
