That formula on that Ed Sheeran post is the quadratic formula

Parabola equation is y= ax^2 + bx + c

I’m 99% sure y = ax^2 + bx + c is the general quadratic formula.... @mango-pickle back me up pls I have to pass boards 😂😂

#asks #anon #tw: maths #pls from what I remember....#quadratic eq means ^2 XD

i think both u and that anon are correct- ax^2+bx+c is a quadratic formula but on a graph it forms a parabola, there is also vertex form but that is another story 😭

I just realised that 😭😭 y= ax^2 + bx + c is parabola whereas ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is quadratic 😭😭

Got published on the OEIS for the third time!

Oh hell yeah.

Almost done with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire...

I'm not gonna bother with any of the post-game stuff. I did go back and explore a couple of areas that Waterfall opened up, like the Acro Bike area in Route 119 and the rest of Meteor Falls, to train up some of my Pokémon a bit and grab some TMs. I also did the New Mauville thing to get the Thunderbolt TM, which is the best electric move. yes, the best. MATHS TIME.

Thunder has 10PP. You can boost it to 16. It has a power of 110 (with STAB (Same-Type-Attack-Bonus, basically if you use a move that is the same type as the Pokémon using it, the move gets a 50% damage boost) that's 165) and an accuracy of 70%. It also has a 30% chance of Paralysis for non-electric Pokémon.

So doing the maths for Thunder, if all uses hit, you have a maximum overall power of 1100-1760, or 1650-2640 with STAB. However, due to the accuracy of 70%... you're more likely to only hit 7 times. Or 11 or so times if you're maxed out the PP, so you're more likely to have an overall power of 770-1210, or 1155-1815 with STAB. You can make it hit 100% of the time with Rain Dance... but dedicating two moves just to ensure that one will work better, when you can do better with just one move? Not a good idea.

Now let's look at Thunderbolt. It has 15PP, you can boost that to 24. It has a power of 90, and with STAB, that's 135. It also has a 10% chance of paralyzing, so not quite as good there as Thunder, but that's the only drawback, comparatively. The important part here is that it has 100% accuracy.

So, doing the math for Thunderbolt... all the uses are going to hit, unless the foe is affecting your accuracy or their evasion. Since I didn't take that into account for Thunder, though, I won't take it into account here. Since all the uses are going to hit, I don't have to do quite as much maths here. You'll basically have an overall power of 1350-2160, or 2025-3240 with STAB. So that's better than Thunder, even if all attacks hit.

There are a few drawbacks. Thunderbolt needs more time to rack up that damage... but considering there are times Thunder can screw you by missing completely? Not that bad. This is true with a lot of slightly weaker moves, like Surf over Hydro Pump, Flame Thrower over Fire Blast, Sludge Bomb over Gunk Shot... You can ignore this if your Pokémon has the 'No Guard' ability. They're not going to miss unless the foe is using a move like Dig, Dive or Fly. But be careful, because all the opponents attacks are going to hit as well.

Maths time done! Anyway, I just need to get through Victory Road now, and then decide what team I'm going to take against the Elite Four. I don't attack remember them, which is a problem. I barely even remember what types they are. I think it's something like Psychic, Ice, Ground and Dragon? And then the Champion, with Steel types. I'm not gonna be checking on that though or picking specific Pokémon to counter what I remember. The only problem I'm having right now is trying to decide whether to take Roserade or Sceptile, or maybe to take both. Problem is, even though I remember this Elite Four being pretty easy, I don't want to double up on types, and I know Roserade is probably the better Pokémon... but it wouldn't feel right taking on the Elite Four without my starter. I'll probably see how things go, I'm gonna take out all of the Pokémon I've been switching between and using throughout the game (there is like 40+ of them. all Pokémon I haven't trained right until the point I went 'fuck it' which was pretty much after the 5th Gym) and see what TMs they can learn, and give them some better movesets. I'm thinking it's probably going to be something like Altaria, Roserade, Electrode, Wailmer, Camerupt/Marcargo and Sceptile/Machamp.

Afterwards, I'm probably gonna either go back to Fire Emblem: Awakening and finish the playthrough I abandoned when Alpha Sapphire came out, or go back to Theatrhythm: Curtain Call and try out some of the new DLC tracks. Especially the Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana ones, and probably some online Smash Bros. games. Try to beef up my Little Mac and Mega Man game, although apparently I do best as Lucina and Sonic. The next NEW game I'll be playing, and likely starting up soon, will be Majora's Mask.

WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULAR SERVICE

Thoughts: Three

Three is, in many ways, the epitome of iOS/Android gaming. The design work is clean and clutter-free; the rules can be learnt in 23 seconds, and it's as addictive as chocolate covered peanuts laced with crack. However, unlike cocaine it only costs £1.50 (unless you know a really good dealer) so is a far more cost efficient addiction!

As I said, the game is simplicity itself. You have a 4x4 grid, which starts with a scattering of numbers. You can swipe to move all the pieces up, down, left or right, with pieces slotting into free gaps with every movement. To start with, you'll have a load of 1 and 2 blocks. When shunted together these will combine to make 3. From there you push together blocks of the same number to make progressively larger multiples of 3. So two 3s make a 6 block, two 6s make a 12, and so on. When there are no more available moves, the game ends and it'll tot up all the blocks in the grid as your score. Simples!

Simple... and yet wonderfully effective. As with the best apps, there is minimal steps between starting the thing up and playing a game. When you boot up the app, a big button invites you to start playing - and when the inevitable 'Game Over' happens (normally after about 5 minutes or so, depending on your luck), restarts are little more than a tap away. Which means you can get on with the crucial task of trying to manoveur two 192 blocks to make a high scoring 384!

Helping the addiction is a wonderfully clean and cute aesthetic. Each of the 'blocks' is actually a little rectangular critter, with a unique voice and tiny little facial expressions that change as they near one of their kin. They even have a little bio that pops up the first time you discover one – elevating the game above being just another sterile puzzle game. There is also a soundtrack courtesy of Disasterpeace – which isn't his best work, but is as cute and disarming as the rest of the game.

In the end, if you enjoy puzzle games you'll probably fall in love with 'Three'. It isn't going to keep you engaged for months and months, but it will probably become your new addiction for the next few weeks!

My best is currently a rather measley 7,605. Bring it.

I legitimately do not know what to do in this current situation.

Currently in geometry we're recapping a section from algebra last year as it relates to our current section in geometry.

MOTHERFUCKING SLOPE INTERCEPT.

Slope intercept literally gives me anxiety attacks. I have exactly no idea how to remedy that. It reminds me of math class last year, and brings back seriously painful memories, and I really do not ever want to do anything that makes me have to remember that.

I don't even know what to do in this scenario. "Sorry I didn't do my homework it made me uncomfortable"

I think i'd have better luck with "The dog ate it" tbh.
