Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

a =tan -1 (h/r)

h is the height

This should be fine.

Damn... DeeJ not only made me do math during my summer break from engineering but also reminded me how badly I do it when trying to rush!

Ahh, but what is the height in terms of a and r is the question?

to determine slope, grade of an angle or cone in this case, you take r over a or rise over run.

Steepness is S

S=R/A

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."

You know what?
As long as next week's challenge isn't a creative one, I'm happy.
Congratulations.

Missed out on swag by I don't know how long, I was still working it out on notepad. I even did an exam involving that a few months ago!

Hylebos and Coxx, I believe we're all right. My answer is slightly different because I defined the angle (theta) from the surface of the table to the outside of the cone, whereas is seems you two defined it to the inside of the cone (thus my angle = 180 - your angle.)

For the hell of it, here is my process:
1.The arc length of the edge of the circle from the removed wedge is r*a

2. The maximum circumference of the cone is therefore 2*pi*r-r*a, or rewritten as 2*pi(r-(r*a)/(2*pi)), where I can define R = (r-(r*a)/(2*pi)).

3. From trigonometry, cos(180-theta) = R/r, which reduces to cos(theta) = -R/r. Remember I defined theta as the angle from the table to the outside of the cone.

4. Therefore, theta = arccos(-R/r), or theta = arccos(a/(2*pi)-1)

EDIT: Yeah, I need to type faster. Congrats :)

The hell is arccos? Like cos^-1?

Yeah. Inverse cosine/arccosine. Same things.

  • 07.13.2012 1:17 PM PDT

Oh I've never heard of it referred to as arccos. NOW I CAN SOUND SMARTER

Oh and Jason X is the only good movie in that franchise.

Uh oh, someone told DeeJ about the SOON(TM) thing. They only get more cryptic from there.

Also, good mailsack. You have my axe.

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

I found out more about Soon (TM) from a reliable source:

Urban Dictionary

soon (tm)

Describes something that we are told is coming soon (game updates, TV shows, etc.) but we have heard it enough times to know better. Whoever is saying x event will occur soon is considered to own the trademark on the word because they have used it so many times.
"when are the new chappelles show episodes?"
"i dunno, soon (tm)"

Imaginary bonus points for the answer to this one! :)
(I'm guessing Hylebos already solved it - if so, give others a shot at imaginary glory)

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Good sack, too late for the riddle though.
