Continuity within game universes

While it may not seem like it at first, many of the series of games do, indeed, involve each other in subtle ways that the developers may just want to sneak in, or otherwise. The ClueFinders games, although part of the same product line, appear to be set in their own universe.

Locations
The primary locations of the Reader Rabbit series are in Wordville. On the Wordville map in the front of the Reader Rabbit 3 User's Guide, Treasure Mountain can be seen. This seems to suggest that the two worlds are located relatively close to one another. Another location is Shady Glen, at which all the Super Solver games take place.

Crossovers
Though Operation Neptune seems to be outside of the fantasy realm of the other games, one of the prizes in the Circus in Math Rabbit is the Neptune.
In one of the data logs found in Operation Neptune, one of the scientists references Ancient Empires as one of the ways the scientists on the space exploration journey like to pass the time.

Name of Base 26

According to what makes sense to me, the most logical term for base 26 is sexvigesimal, a term combining sex-, the Latin numerical prefix for 6, with vigesimal. However, someone created an article for base 26 called hexavigesimal, which mixes a Greek numerical prefix with a Latin root. Any opinions?? 66.245.3.166 02:29, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The reason I used the term hexavigesimal is that it seemed to follow logically from the term hexadecimal and hexavigesimal returned a result from Google, while sexvigesimal did not.


26 - square/cube

Do we have a proof that 26 is the only number between a square and a cube? i believe there is a proof due to euler but can;t find it.

I found some proof here: http://abstractnonsense.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/algebraic-number-theory/195.113.21.210 (talk) 18:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
A more rigorous proof is here: http://blog.cr0.org/2009/04/26.html --Roentgenium111 (talk) 11:51, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Boo-yah

Does anyone know why on this game show I'm watching, people shout "BOO-YAH!" when #26 is selected. Is this a pop culture thing that should perhaps be included?
I removed the links to Wikiproject Kabbalah...

...and Wikiproject Judaism because the article contains a single line of trivia about the relevance of 26 to Judaism. I hope this won't bother anyone. Shalom Hello 01:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
Tissues in the Profession:

CAN BAD MEN MAKE GOOD BRAINS DO BAD THINGS?

Consider the following case:

On Twin Earth, a brain in a vat is at the wheel of a runaway trolley. There are only two options that the brain can take: the right side of the fork in the track or the left side of the fork. There is no way in sight of derailing or stopping the trolley and the brain is aware of this, for the brain knows trolleys. The brain is causally hooked up to the trolley such that the brain can determine the course which the trolley will take.

On the right side of the track there is a single railroad worker, Jones, who will definitely be killed if the brain steers the trolley to the right. If the railman on the right lives, he will go on to kill five men for the sake of killing them, but in doing so will inadvertently save the lives of thirty orphans (one of the five men he will kill is planning to destroy a bridge that the orphans' bus will be crossing later that night). One of the orphans that will be killed would have grown up to become a tyrant who would make good utilitarian men do bad things. Another of the orphans would grow up to become G.E.M. Anscombe, while a third would invent the pop-top can.

If the brain in the vat chooses the left side of the track, the trolley will definitely hit and kill a railman on the left side of the track, "Leftie" and will hit and destroy ten beating hearts on the track that could (and would) have been transplanted into ten patients in the local hospital that will die without donor hearts. These are the only hearts available, and the brain is aware of this, for the brain knows hearts. If the railman on the left side of the track lives, he too will kill five men, in fact the same five that the railman on the right would kill. However, "Leftie" will kill the five as an unintended consequence of saving ten men: he will inadvertently kill the five men rushing the ten hearts to the local hospital for transplantation. A further result of "Leftie's" act would be that the busload of orphans will be spared. Among the five men killed by "Leftie" are both the man responsible for putting the brain at the controls of the trolley, and the author of this example. If the ten hearts and "Leftie" are killed by the trolley, the ten prospective heart-transplant patients will die and their kidneys will be used to save the lives of twenty kidney-transplant patients, one of whom will grow up to cure cancer, and one of whom will grow up to be Hitler. There are other kidneys and dialysis machines available, however the brain does not know kidneys, and this is not a factor.

Assume that the brain's choice, whatever it turns out to be, will serve as an example to other brains-in-vats and so the effects of his decision will be amplified. Also assume that if the brain chooses the right side of the fork, an unjust war free of war crimes will ensue, while if the brain chooses the left fork, a just war fraught with war crimes will result. Furthermore, there is an intermittently active Cartesian demon deceiving the brain in such a manner that the brain is never sure if it is being deceived.

QUESTION: What should the brain do?

[ALTERNATIVE EXAMPLE: Same as above, except the brain has had a commisurotomy, and the left half of the brain is a consequentialist and the right side is an absolutist.]

Aspies For Freedom

Wikipedia posted:

"There are many in the autism and Aspergers community, like the newly formed Aspies for Freedom, who worry that the minute a genetic test appears, it will spell the end for a lot of future geniuses, like (...Bill...) Gates. Maybe there will be fewer Thomas Jeffersons or Lewis Carrolls remarkable thinkers who also fit the profile for Aspergers."

Who is TheASMan???

Why not just give the actual name of the person? Giving handles when a real name is available seems unencyclopedic. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 17:37, 23 September 2005 (UTC)


Hi RN. its me I am just trying to reduce my exposure. RN I appreciate your work and I hope we can work together.JoeMele 17:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

     When the protest was covered in the press it used your real name if I remember correctly. As RN said, I think it's unencyclopedic to use a handle in that situation. However, if the press had referred to you only as TheASMan that would be different. ManekiNeko | Talk 20:31, 23 September 2005 (UTC)


Ok, And I want to apologize to everyone here. But i do think searching for a cure is the same as genocide. sorry that is just what I think. Can I make a fresh start here and work with you guys?JoeMele 20:44, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
