I’m the guy in the middle of the second picture and for a while now. Am I doing it wrong? How do I enter the third one?
How else would you light them from within?
I just don’t think so. I mean, sure, it’s a different context but I still feel like “there has no one been there before” just isn’t part of the meaning. Sure, “for the first time” is but it doesn’t include for whom. I just feel this is a weak point to make. “Marco Polo and the Discovery of the World” is a book by John Learner, who apparently thought the earth was uninhabited
I never understood this point. I can discover a crowded restaurant in downtown. Did other people know about it before me? Of cause, but no one I know
The original doesn’t have an extra check for 9 and it works for Roman->Indioarabic because it’s:
IX
->IVV
->IIIIV
->IIIIIIIII
But the other way around, you need an extra step for 9. That’s where our misunderstanding comes from.
Does 9 really work? Wouldn’t it be:
IIIIIIIII
-> VIIII
-> VIV
It’s all projection. Always has been
Every base is base 10 in its own base.
Really makes you thinks.
Makes sense but it will fail at 9 (VIV) it would only work for 9 if the replace went from right to left or the V and IV statements were exchanged but in both cases, 6 would fail
Thanks. I knew something was off
True. Lost opportunity to blow things up with useless recursivity
Because there are better random generators
I don’t know what happens when the substring overlaps. Like for the number 6, will it replace the first 5 I’s with V and end up correctly with VI or the last ones and come to IV? I would guess the former and maybe you know but I never thought about it before
German has a word for it: Substantivgroßschreibung
“If a human would wear pants…”
Noo, cancer is when cells start to grow infinitely and therefore destroy the body. Capitalism is about economic infinite growth that destroys the planet and the people. Know the difference.
