Tom I at least think I know what you are doing. I also think it is nonsense. Each string of characters on the VM you are 1. Identify Character 1 - using your little table (the squiggle version) you find out the Number equivalent. Repeat for each Character in word on VM 2. You now have a string of single digit numbers. Add these together to give your TOTAL 3. Add each digit of the TOTAL to give a NEW TOTAL - continue till you have a single number NB (Numerological Bullshit). 4. Find an English word which if the same procedure using your little table (the Latin character version) is applied has the same NB and decide that it is the translation The problem - which I think everyone here realises apart from you (inter alia see Sensei's great post about zip) is that you are losing vast amounts of information - and replacing it with guesswork. A 6-letter string in VM has a huge amount of information - it is one unique string in a possible group of around 21^6 (about 80million); you are reducing this huge complexity down to 9 possibilities. Very roughly each single digit you come up with (refered to as NB above) would be the answer for around 9 million possible words. You have lost all this information You then take this single digit number and find English words with the same number - estimates put the number of unique and comprehensible words in English at about a million; you represent all of these million with just nine single digits. So each single digit stands in for abour 111,000 words. You have guessed one out of 111,000 So what you are doing is the following - this six letter string is rendered the same as any of 9 million and I will choose a meaning for it from 111,000. === And you have not even been consistent Why Europe with an E at the end and not Europa, why Africa and not Afrikus etc. You are deluding yourself with the method and cheating even with your own self imposed rules

! Moderator Note OK Guys No more ad hoc medical / psychiatrical diagnoses please. Firstly you are not qualified, secondly you don't have the facts, thirdly this is not the place. I have hidden the most recent and egregious example (also hidden the very reasonable follow up as it quoted previous post) Frankly unless this thread gets back on topic I will close it - this is Suggestions Comment and Support (not that kind of support) Forum Please do not respond to this modnote other than via the reporting system

Two coins are not entangled by the fact that they are parallel. You are reproducing results because you are designing your experiments and (mis-)doing your maths in order to find these results - it would not be the case if you were to actually do it properly. And, before you ask, no I will not spend the time doing the preliminary research, the background mathematical work etc to either bear out or trash your ideas - that's your job and you are failing DC Squids work on tunnelling and are by their very nomenclature quantum devices electrons do not just jump across isolators in these circumstances without the effects which you are decrying - you cannot just compare them with a couple of coins. You have to have shared states of superposition etc.

Just running a list of countries of the world through a quick number crunch Algeria Andorra Argentina Austria Bahrain Barbados Bulgaria China Comoros Georgia Jordan North Korea Mali Mauritania Niger Poland Romania Yemen These all yeild 8 as their numerological signifier. Why did you choose Europe? Why not Europa which was the more common spelling till recently and in English?

Why not download an internet time keeper. You can get various apps which limit time browsers can be active - can be very useful. I don't use but I am pretty sure lots do - even I think one of our most highly esteemed admins is a user

But it takes a Supreme Court ruling to get a judge to remove the Ten Commandments from the wall of his court! And even then a judge refused and had to be chucked off the bench

I do it just for the fasting and flagellation.

I also believe that Raxone (which has idebenone as sole active ingredient tbomk) is prescription only in Europe. This is probably why European based customs is checking up on the import of a restricted (ie restricted to medical prescription) substance into the EU and around the EU. Remember that the EU operates with a single border - it is where it lands into the EU where the european based checking is done rather than the domicile of the end user (where you might get more local checking)

I love the books, the TV series, even the film - but the radio broadcasts were exceptional. I caught up with the series at about age 11 via a set of tapes of the broadcasts that I borrowed from local library (and nearly wore out). I met the great man a few times and he was one of those rare heroes who exceed your expectations when you met in person.

Exactly - or even better a small plastic freezer bag; you can then reverse the bag and have the stuff you have collected both free from the magnet and in a little bag. Again agree - too easy to fool the eye if you do not have recorded evidence. You could even download Tracker which is a brilliant video mechanics / dynamics analyser

For some reason I always think of this as the precursor I understand it is not - but any excuse to read through one of the greatest radio scripts in the history of man

Gotta love Sloane's. I hadn't realised they were so rare - just that it was relatively simple to show if the number had to be compound; obviously it is always simpler to show that a number is compound than to show that it is prime but in this case the test to show compound nature was so cute.

For the second thread running you seem to be claiming that the physics following from Bell's inequality which refutes EPR is flawed; this is based on an incomplete understanding of the mathematics and a completely erroneous assertation in the physics that one can arbitrarilly use concepts (the roots of which are deep in Quantum Mechanics) in predicting the behaviour of purely classical objects. Why not spend the time actually learning about basic quantum mechanics? I have a feeling there is an MITx course running at edx on QM - it will be seriously tough; bu you will come out of it actually knowing stuff

Long term perhaps - but I am pretty sure that the hundreds of tonnes of trees around my parents garden that were not there when my father bought the house in 1953 are a fairly good short term sequestration of carbon Even in the the longest time periods you can think of it like this - take two patches of land, one is kept arid and infertile and the CO2 sequestration is zero, the other goes from bare earth via grasses and mosses to a mature forest and the CO2 sequestration is substantial. ie an unchanging garden does little but the growth from grass to mature forest does a lot. And not all wood decays (my chair hopefully not), most fruit is eaten, animals are about 17 percent carbon etc. eventually all the cycle will come to an end - but that is pretty longterm

Just as a wild approximation (with no checking facts or calculators so lotsa guessworking) 1. most of body is water 2. molecular mass of water is 18 g/mole 3. mass of cubic centimetre of water is 1 gram 4. no of water molecules per cubic centimetre is avogadro divided by molarmass - ie 6e23/18 = 3e22 5. assuming rough three dimensional lay out that is cube root of 3e22 each direction 6. cube root 3e22 is cube root 30 time cube root 10e22 = 3e7 7. number of molecules in top square of cube is 3e7 times 3e7 ie 9e14 8. three atoms per molecule so roughly 3e15 atoms per square centimetre

Can I just put it out there that I think that anyone who votes for a man who boasts about sexually assaulting women is deplorable. I can see why Clinton withdrew from the remark - it was not clever politicking - but most of us are not running for office and can be a bit more forthright in our views. Voting, let alone endorsing or campaigning for, a man who revels in his use of power to debase women and proudly objectifies one half of the human race is shameful, disgusting, and well and truly deplorable

! Moderator Note I don't think this thread is helping. Thread locked.

UKIP Leadership, are making my dreams come true; beating themselves up.

back from a break - will take a good look at this. Please do not post the answer other than in spoiler tags Cannot see how I did 29 moves - should have written it down at the time rather than keeping in my head; maybe I was deluded Spoiler [_spoiler] like this [_/spoiler] remove the leading underscore to use

Top story of the BBC at the moment...who cares about Brexit, the Economy? And by the way don't advertise to the Paris Gendarmes that you were tracking la Kardashian's movements

First rough guess - travelling from one side to the opposite side, and travelling only in queen sort of moves, each move being longer distance than the last, and no touching same square twice; which I gather are the rules - I can cover 29 squares as maximum or, of course, 8 as a minimum
