    OH MAH GOD THIS IS STILL ALIVE (and with 64 pages! Well, now it's 65.)

     

     

    I would go and find some puppies to kick, to start the day off! (No offense, Simon. Please don't hurt me.)

    Also, tomorrow.

    An effective one would be to repeat doing two things:

    1. Read word and repeat aloud.
    2. Close eyes. Repeat words from beginning to this word.

    So it moves on from something like "Lorem. Lorem. Ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Dolor. Lorem ipsum dolor." and so on and so forth until every word is remembered in order.

    That would have running time O(n^2). But I'll try it.

    Anyways, no question?

    Something unmeasurably large.



    Can holes have mass?

     Yes, holes have positive mass (effects) due to the electron negative mass (effect)

     

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

     It says nothing in the rules about your out of the game if you ask a question twice; you have no power over the rules, you didnt answer his question, and you didnt ask one. 100% A-grade spam right there.

     

    @Fast-Driver (View Post)

    Zero; theoraticly you can get to the center without having to 'lick' even once hence the comercial...

    Trick question - you don't have a last name.

    What is the operator precedence on the various TPT link shortcuts? (@, ~, !, #)

    The operator precendence is a system in which operators are evaluated in a certain order, so that operators that depend on the results of other operators will evaluate in a deterministic manner.

     

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of an O(n*log(n)) time quicksort using a deterministic O(n) time median finder that allocates O(n*log(n)) memory, versus the standard merge sort using O(n*log(n)) time and memory?
