Cutting the deck has no effect.
This was not the first time that the perfect bridge deal actually happened. It happened back in the 1960s and was featured, if I remember correctly, on The Garry Moore Show.
7:31 how are we supposed to project the pentagonal bipyramid?
Does it help us evading taxes? No. Oh tell them it’s a no then.
4000 years from now, they will create every possible variation of "how" & "why" about it, and the one person having the most correct answer will be drowned out by "it was done by the very first True AI!" ...all because we have more imagination than we have intelligence. Lol
Hey, this version of your sign accurate ball makes me angry, and I'll tell you why: I'm wondering why one doesn't simply, extrude black xor white pyramids from the hexagon footdonut, to the point-ring at the center of the foot donut, and then, bend and distort the foot donut, so that from one angle it looks like a hexagon football, and then, after that, take a 3D sphere, and use it as a selection area, to cut out the desired portion of donut so that it is solely comprised of hexagons but of different sizes? Seems mathier to do it that way.... just sayin... so I'm angry. Rock on homie⚽️
Oh and one relatively painless way one might MIGHT (not 💯 on this) do it, is by doing a CG physics simulation, and hanging the foot donut from a rod while it has a honey/tar or taffy consistency, and letting it plop into a hemi-spherical bowl. And then the moment it ia fluah with the inner wall of the bowl: Check if a spherical volume flush with the inner sphere-face of the bowl can fit inside the foot donut, and if not; Then, copy the geometry of the current foot donut, and now, model its physics as if it is a hollow pool inflateable and then expand a sphere inside of it, and then once that sphere is full size: Pause the simulation again, and model each hexagonal-base pyramid in the footdonut volume, as a fully colored volumetric solid. Then use the original spherical selection area, to cut out and copy, the inside important bits of the foot donut, and move that to a seperate renderer and look at it. Make designs of it, and send it off to be mass produced or whatever 💖
Oh no it was Savannahxyz. Also to get the Gons in the right spot you could probably use some sort of magnetism. And instead of a proper particle based fluid simulation you could probably do vertices and ragdolls. Also I don't know for sure if the result will be different, but I feel it might be. So yeh. Oh also, if instead of using tris you use hexagons and a low poly model with the same number of faces as the actual footdonut texture; that would probably help somehow I feel.
How would you design a Dobble for which if you choose 3 cards they have 1 unique match?
Wait, so if a sphere is actually the boundary surface and a ball is the entire object, then we can conclude that the earth is, in fact, a ball.

If you are worried about using a boat for anti-fall damage but dont want to risk hitting the 12, 13, 49 ect, then just exit the boat 1-3 blocks before hitting the ground. Your boat will break but you take zero fall damage.
I'm reminded of the old story about the physics student who answered a question about using a high quality barometer to measure the height of a building, and came up with 10 different ways to do it.

I think you might be losing some deceleration data due to friction loss while cornering. it would look like a downward vector instead of a rearward vector.

So if you square a square you get a circle?
From my perspective, the boat only works properly at thise heights

Uhh..No one is thinking about the exposed reedbar rotting out in 120 years? Talk about an oversight.. This is why the old world builders used protrusions to set their stones....not to mention.. It is highly doubtful modern concrete will last over 200 years.

Now we need the mystery of why 198 doesn’t rock the boat solved…
Here is how to approach this in a philisophical way and using algebra. #)1 .99r is not a real number or has value #2 it can only be understood by sequence. #3 is there a sequence wherby we can extract an unequal value???? My proposition is we use two sequences of equal value but not equalling1. So... First in the sequence is .99 the value is .01 from 1 if we add .01 to 1 we get 1.01. The difference between .99 and 1.01 is .02 If we accept the .99=1 then we also accept that 1.01=1 because the two values are equal in as much as both are .01 from 1 However, the difference between 1 and 1= 0 The difference between .99 and 1.01= .02 Using algebra we have doubled the original difference whilst the value for 1 remains unchanged. In what world does one value double and another value remain unchanged but remains equal???? Now if you compute each of the sequences sequentially you will get the same answer.
wow. so am i really just watching 0 & 1s.
well let's say if a single human generation lasts for an averge 50 years then this whole pyramid will take 15 human generations to complete. just wow!
