Happy Friday the 13th. If you know what is good for you, stay in your cabin this weekend, kiddies.

Here is some light reading to keep you safe and occupied while you cower behind closed doors. If you are a fast reader, perhaps a riddle will help you resist the urge to go wandering through the woods. Two of our panelists this week helped me cook this up. Last week, we had a party in the form of Bungie Day. Do you know what was missing? Michael Williams and David Johnson do...

Time to make paper party hats! You have a paper circle of radius r. You cut an angle a wedge out of it, and pull the circle together to make your hat. If you set your resulting hat on the table, what is the angle between the side of the cone and the table? (In other words what is the steepness of the cone?) Find a reduced formula that relates the radius r and angle a to the resulting steepness.


Figure that out, and you win some loot.

1 a: The act of using the Unleash Ninjas button, and performing a moderation act.

Best part of the day.

The Duck Tales theme brought back a lot of nostalgia. Thank you David.

Worst part of the day.

Why do you insist on being a horrendous tyrant and permabanning people?

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

How much overlap do we allow on the hat?

GGGGGGggggggggggggGGGG

Looks like I logged on at just the right time.

What your favorite part of Friday the 13th? And what do you do to prepare/ protect yourself from bad luck?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Fourth!

You are all constructs of my solipsist mind.

I love you Deej.

EDIT: Answer in degrees to the riddle:

arccos(1-a/360)

None I assume.

in answer to the formula, if you take the hieth you can use the radius as the base and solve using the pythagorean theorem.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

1/3 x pie x r(^2) x h

(Bungie.net hates the pie symbol >:( )

Anyways wow that's a pretty awesome question. I love geom and I don't even know where to begin, really.

I'll go see if I can make anything of that.

LOL. This is going to be a great challenge.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Cool.

Or should I say Coolie.

Yippee.

The angles all = Ihatemath.

How'd you do in High School Geometry, DeeJ?

:D

Reading now. I won't bother with the challenge, someone will beat me to it (probably already have).

theta = arccos (1-a/360)

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Just the first one? You have to at least watch the first four!

  • 07.13.2012 12:45 PM PDT

The angle should be equal to arccos((r-(ra)/(2(pi)))/r).

I can show my work if neccessary.
