Wait how many of yg made a maker portfolio
placid prairie
me neither

Oh
Does it significantly impact your chances at admission?
I also didn’t make one
stray plume
i wouldnt make one unless you legitimately have something to show
imagine being an AO and getting a makers portfolio that is just some kids stick figure
i would just be disappointed they wasted $10

dude as soon as jan 10 is over im completely locking out of college apps
that's what you would think
I submitted all my apps in october after working on them during the summer (including regular decision for yale, cornell, and northwestern)
I thought that with all my college apps finished I would be able to relax
but I kept coming back to a2c day after day
checking the subreddit and discord
it will never end until the decision day comes
never

furina i got a question
instead of asking what n or k
why dont we ask why the prisoner escaped?
pale sierra
where did you find this freakyina
pale sierra
i love the chinese remainder theorem

check from infinity and go down
pale sierra
of course
sharp stag
no because she just chooses an infinitely large number, so the detective has to spend an infinite amount of time to find her, meaning that he never finds her

if you want culture you can go to a bunch of other schools that are easier to get into
stray plume
cold scroll up and read what i said
shy girder
What does this mean 
shy girder
TLDR question
stray plume
its the way that the faculty clearly encourage this kind of goofery
like the hacks there arent really shut down
waxen cloak
We do you have a proof

if the faculty were losers they wouldnt have a hacking culture

this was what i meant in my first solution but i cant write anything comprehensive 😂

the cardinality of the set of all integers is the same as the cardinality of set of all rational numbers
basically
there's the same number of rational numbers as there are integers

there's the same number of rational numbers as there are integers
shouldnt it be integers^2
because theres an integer in numerator

No, bc what if she chooses like n—> infinity? Like is there a cap on what n can be? Assuming the detective knows what n is, he can just check n+1, n+4, n+9 …
Ok
Let me think more
untold drift
!mit
brisk spade
No I think it works for all k as long as you know n
But we don’t know n that’s the problem
Bruh
I mean I guess if you had infinite time you can back-calculate for every combination of n and k based on what day it is but that just sounds stupid
Well is that how u do it
Literally can’t think of anything else
Idk this one might be a skill issue on my part
Wait a second
brisk spade
Yea still have no idea unfortunately
I know you don’t have to check EVERY combination since setting k=x and n=y on a plane gives you a line for each guess but idk what to do from there

I'm on a good track
I have sequences developed for catching the prisoner for k=0, k=1, and k=2
now I'm attempting to combine them into one sequence depending on n and k
||for any k or n the prisoner chooses the function d(t) = (k+1)t + n % (k+1) will have a 100% chance of catching the prisoner eventually||
||however I'm unsure how to turn this into a general function regardless of k and n||
||in fact I'm not even sure it's possible given that n could be literally any number||
fresh mirage
||the case with n=0 is trivial-- just keep checking T^2.
with n>0 it becomes a lot harder--some thoughts:
- p(T) is a linear function n+kT
- the detective's position must be superlinear bc otherwise it's possible the prisoner would "escape" the detective with a sufficiently large n and k.
- the detective's position function d(T) must intersect the prisoner's position function p(T) at an integer value of T
im not entirely sure if its possible to find n and k in all cases||
yall spoiler ur solutions 😭

oh mb

fresh mirage
||nvm, if k can be negative, we'd just do (for n=0):
- x is odd, d(T) = x*(x+1/2)
- x is even, d(T) = -x*x/2||

tbh i kick myself for playing minecraft instead of investing in bitcoin when i was 7 so i would cry about this 😭
fresh mirage
yeah n=0 is just straight diagonalization
n>0 is more complicated but probably involes diagonalization
pale sierra
i should've invested in bitcoin instead kf shitting around in 2014
all those iron swords aren't making me a millionaire
i remeber the diagonal theorem
wuth that stupid pokemon video
fresh mirage
||its still diagonalization you just keep flipping back and forth||
i might be dumb
i accounted for this, ||the diagonalization grows by a quadratic factor||
keep in mind this is only for n=0 im still stuck on n != 0
but yeah if you know n, k is trivial
rocky notch
might be going the wrong direction but uhh if g(x) is the integral from n to x of n+kt it always results in catching the prisoner
but once again the problem is that it's supposed to be universal no matter the k or n
rocky notch
oh wait yeah
and if n=0 then the nx doesn't matter
yeah ur right it's the same old thing

"But they have it backwards. In fact, this story should be incredibly encouraging for most students. It should be liberating. Why? Because over a thousand other students were admitted to MIT that year, and none of them built a nuclear reactor!"

amber dragon
ya its unpredictable
coarse parrot
its all like holistic and there isnt a formula
if something is mid it wont hurt you but it wont help
