SocketWrench posted:someone's gonna have to explain this to me because all of that save the first one is wrong. Is this to figure out some secret code because they're using conservative "numbers can mean four things at once" apologetics or what? '+' is an arbitrary symbol used to denote a relationship between two other things. So, instead of pre:a+b=sum(a,b) pre:a+b=sum(a,product(a,b)) I guess if pre:an+bn=cn pre:an+1+bn+1=sum(cn,an+1,bn+1) pre:Given that 1 $ 4= 5 2 $ 5= 12 3 $ 6= 21 5 $ 7= c Solve for c

Then by not aggrevate g anyone he can go on collecting campaign contributions without worrying about challenges. I think this Freeper is actually right about Ryan. Polyseme posted:'+' is an arbitrary symbol used to denote a relationship between two other things. So, instead of I googled and the first article I saw said there's actually two possible answers that are logically sound. The first is 34, the other is 45. It depends on whether you think the pattern is to add the answer from the previous problem to the new problem (which gives 34, since 13 + 21), or whether the pattern is the sum of the first number and the product of both numbers (which gives 45, since 5 + 40).

Bremen posted:The list itself is a pretty simple "each answer is the sum of the line and the previous answer." How you answer it basically comes down to whether you think the question is "What is 5 + 8?" or "What is the next number in the established pattern?"; like memes about colored dresses or planes on conveyorbelts, it's a question which has two answers in such a way to make you think someone with the other answer must be an idiot. Freeper can't think laterally. Freeper declares that all non linear thought is wrong. Eggheads in their ivory towers complicate things unnecessarily just to arrogantly display how clever they think they are. 5+8=13 and that's the end of it, we better keep an eye on those 3%.

Mustached Demon posted:Fun thing about math is it doesn't give a gently caress what rules you decide to use so long as they're logically consistent. That's true, but it's weird to use a symbol that already has a meaning. It's especially weird to use plus. Plus could be defined to mean anything, but generally it's a commutative and associative operation. This operation is neither. Really, it's just pretending to be "clever" on social media by being vague and confusing. In summary: https://xkcd.com/169/ Jurgan fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Mar 13, 2017 |

Goddammit I hate people with zero sense of history:quote:I recall when not a Muslim nor a Hindu was in this country practicing their religions. No you don't, there have been Muslims in America since before independence. Hindus it's a little harder to pin down specifics, but Hindus were coming to American colleges in the late 1800s, and in 1907 a bunch of Sikhs (and some Hindus) were attacked for "stealing American jobs" in Bellingham, Washington (wiki). What Lumper20 presumably means is "I remember when I never heard about Muslims or Hindus in America because absolutely everything in popular culture was made for and by white men."

I was looking at a thread yesterday about "Racial gaps in education" which had the utterly predictable "Bell Curve", "it's a difference in culture, not race", and "did you know most minorities have an IQ of 85, of course they can't compete!" (http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3534141/posts) Looked today and the thread is pulled by JR himself, so for a sec I thought that things got too racial even for Freep. But JR's explanation only says "gannet", so I looked into it and it turns out over a decade ago Freep got a C&D letter from Gannet telling them they can't quote or excerpt any of their articles: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1131129/posts

My point is that Freep's ignorance is astounding, it is a forum devoted to discussing current event wherein they never actually gain any understanding of current events. also My Cousin Vinny is a good movie.

It's been over half an hour since the CBO came out with their report that estimates the number of uninsured under Being horrifying news about a "conservative" plan, there's nothing on freep about it yet.
