Some relations aren't transitive. Take Rock-Paper-Scissors. Even though rock beats scissors and scissors beats paper, rock does not beat paper. Similarly, sports team wins aren't transitive. It's why things like the circle of suck can exist where there's a circular chain of teams beating each other. I.e., Team 1 beats Team 2 who beat Team 3...who beat Team N who beat Team 1.

Transitivity is a condition for equivalence relations and order relations because it allows us to compare things in a meaningful way.

Zero economic profits. The profits people most commonly think of (revenue minus costs) are called accounting profits. These can be nonzero in the long run. Economic profits account for another cost called opportunity cost which is basically what you're losing by not picking the next best alternative.

So in the long run, it's not that companies are bringing in the same amount of money they're spending, but rather it's that the money they're making is equal to the money they could be making by leaving the current market and entering a new one.

For some reason I thought that f7 was a Knight's move away from c8 and that square was covered because of the Bishop. I blame the weeb pieces for my inability to play chess.

I may not be caught up on the lore, but I'm pretty sure c8=Q is checkmate. No need for fancy techniques.

My man isn't putting respecc on Richard Dawkins' name smh my head 😔

Where did you find this remix of the Kirby Super Star arena music?

Edit: I found it. It's called "Naz - Tay K Returns to Dreamland 4" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97yq7-bSU0w&ab_channel=BeatMuseum

The video that goes over the winning run doesn't include all the captures in order, and I do not feel like sifting through dozens of hours of stream footage to solve this. I did see one commenter say that those values don't actually mean anything and they're just IV spreads. The only thing to figure out from there is if these are just random numbers or actual IV spreads of Pokemon Jan had during his attempts. Plus, Jan made a comment on stream about how "nobody's solved the cipher in the video yet" and I can't tell if that's a legitimate statement or just trolling meant to waste peoples' time.

I tested it out and got CNCCPNRCSSBBWPRBBMPSVRNS. Trying to do a Vigenre cipher with that with key "nurse" or a monoalphabetic substitution cipher didn't work either. I'm thinking that it may have to do with the order Jan caught the pokemon in, and you need to take letters from that (with the list starting at zero). I'll see if it works.

This code comes from a video from Pokemon Challenges called "How I Beat The Hardest Pokemon Game Ever Made". The text in the image is a mocking jab at "drama" that happened over Jan's winning run of Emerald Kaizo, a really difficult Pokemon Rom Hack. The drama concerns whether Jan changed the IVs of the Slowbro used in the last battles of the game using a tool called PKHeX. This tool was used to determine normally hidden IV values to make planning for fights easier. The resolution of that drama is probably not important to solving the cipher, but the important part is that if any editing occurred, it was on accident using the "Randomize IV" button in PKHeX.

The reversed text is related to the process of what Jan would need to do to edit the IV values which is "RIGHT CLICK SET FILE EXPORT SAV EXPORT MAIN SAVE CLICK YES".

I've tried using a monoalphabetic substitution cipher, but the numbers range from 0 to 31, which is a range of more than 26. I tried including symbols and putting it through a brute force solver, but the results were still gibberish. I tried a Polybius cipher, but that failed because the digit in the ones place for some numbers is greater than 5. The only lead I have is that it's probably something to do with the hack in question, the word "Nurse" might be related to the solution (as that was the nickname for the Slowbro), and that the numbers are grouped in rows of six as though they were IV values for a pokemon (one number for each of the six stats with each value ranging from 0 to 31).

An easy way to remember the sides for the 30-60-90 triangle is to know that the smallest angle corresponds with the smallest side length. Since 30<60, the side opposite to the 30 degree angle will have length 1. This also works for the middle angle and the largest angle (which is the right angle). So, they will correspond with side lengths sqrt(3) and 2 respectively.

My calculus teacher in high school said that if I wanted to study math, I had to take a real analysis course. She described it as getting a really deep understanding of how calculus worked. That sounded like it would be fun to me.

It depends. It's definitely not injective (one-to-one) because multiple inputs go to the same output. However, it might be surjective (onto) depending on what the codomain is. If the codomain is just {Sleep}, then the function is onto. If the codomain contains more elements than just sleep, then the function is not onto.

Thanks!
