Response to WAT, from a post (now hidden) using a hitherto unknown personality. 

 

Yes WAT, you are in my crosshairs –you have been for a long time –more than four years. https://web2.0calc.com/questions/i-know-this-is-kind-of-easy-but-i-m-stuck

This was back when you were embryonic. You may wonder how I knew... The short answer is the scope with the crosshairs refines an image to the genetic-molecular level.  I couldn’t know which genes might become active or remain passive, but I knew the range of what the genes would do if they became active.  ...and here we are. ...

 

As long as you are on this forum, you’ll always be in my crosshairs. You are fascinating to me; I’ve only ever read about the theories of multiple personalities in advanced psychology texts. 

I don’t think you are dangerous –at least not on the forum. Your trolling offal is just irritating–sometimes very irritating. Still, this is a small price to pay for such a fine specimen. 

 

In the real world, maybe you are dangerous. I could write some speculative fiction on the subject. I already have a title:

 

Gingerlock Holmes vs WAT Moriarty:

A genetically enhanced chimp matches wits with the multiple personalities of a highly intelligent narcissistic sociopath.   The troll escaped from an asylum and the chimp is out of her tree. 

 

I think the title and summary are quite funny. What do you think, WAT? Do any of your personalities have a sense of humor?

 

----

Here’s Dr. Watson’s epilog:

 

WAT’s absurd self-contradictions and redundancies made his life a living hell. WAT preferred to rule in his living hell rather than serve on Earth.  Thought he seemed to adapt to internal conflicts through self-therapeutic venting, it was not enough. He slowly descend into a maelstrom of madness, as his contradictions closed in on him, crushing him into a mental singularity –a black hole of madness, with analogous Hawking radiation as his only means of venting. This continued until his brain shut down, ending its chemistry and related quantum processes.

...A true hell on Earth until the END.

How to verify:

 

*On this site: https://keybase.io/verify

Paste the PGP encoded message below in the Message to verify box, click verify.

Be sure to include the five dashes ----- preceding the header and following the footer.

 

*The key fingerprint: 74DE4A9184801C76 will display. This finger print will display for all messages signed my PGP key. If a different number displays, then it’s NOT my key.

 

*In the Signed text box will be all (or most all –emojis and stylized text (boldface, italics, etc)  do not copy; the words do) the post I wrote. If the key authenticates but the text doesn’t match then a troll, namely WAT, has posted a legitimately signed message to a fake post. 

 

*If Error:checksum mismatch displays then the message digest or the compressed, encoded text is corrupted, and fails to revert back to the original plain text during authentication.   

 

Other information:

For this version, PGP signed messages appear to be encrypted. They are NOT!  It is compressed and then encoded (not encrypted) with Base64 or a variant, which converts binary data into ASCII printable characters, which allows for transmission over any media that can send text.  Decoding this is simple (if it’s text –photos require more decoding) whether it authenticates or not.

-----------

 

I do not plan on digitally signing many posts. It’s really not necessary for longer posts, only the shorter posts.   While a digitally signed post will easily verify as belonging to the real GA, some effort and measurable intelligence from the reader is needed to prove a fake post is not mine (if any care to).

 

Many of the shorter posts are similar, especially the posts where I disavow ownership of a troll post. Watt copies these posts to fake-disavow ownership of posts I actually did make. He could do the same with authentic digitally signed posts too. I will need to make each post unique by identifying its location, creation time, and with other information. The shorter posts will become longer, especially with a digital signature added. 

 

Though maybe entertaining for the moment, it’s really just a pain the ass that clutters and distracts from the post’s purpose. WAT is a Pain in the âss

GingerAle’s key fingerprint: 74DE4A9184801C76

------------

I generated my first PGP key pairs when I was fourteen. I thought it was one of the most fascinating application programs ever. Learning the logic and mathematics behind public key encryption and hash signature authentication augmented my fascination all the more...

 

My signature is generated using an ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) key. I created this key specifically for use on this form.

Cool aspects about an ECC key:

It has a very small footprint, 384 bits. The encryption security is greater and the computation is faster than for a 7680-bit RAS key

When used with certain algorithms, it’s not necessary to post the public key for authentication. The algorithms decode (and decompress) the message into plain text, and then authenticates and displays the digital finger print.

------------

 

Later, I may post the public key on my profile. If I do, then WAT (and anyone else) can send me secret messages (cool, eh). What’s really cool is even the Martians can’t read it; unless they reactivate the mind-reading probe they stuck in my brain a few months ago. The bastards!

 

WAT, I may not know the message is from you though, unless you sign it. You could create key pairs for all of your personalities. To keep it simple just start with the first 12 to 14. That way I’ll know which one of you it is. I can usually tell anyway. Of course, you could try to psyche-me-out by signing with the wrong key, but I should be able to figure it out. 

 

For now, I’m not posting the key. I suspect, if I do, WAT will spam the forum with encrypted messages. The forum already has enough spam and bullshit!

As noted by my friend in Answer #1, this problem makes use of an unusual assumption.  However, it can be solved, although the value of "n" will require an amount of imagination.  Hey, the square root of minus one is an imaginary number, but that doesn't stop people from using it.  I'm solving the problem for you, so you can see how to solve it, whether or not the answer satisfies your sense of propriety. 

 

Alice and Bob each have a certain amount of money. If Alice receives n dollars from Bob, then she will have 4 times as much money as Bob. If, on the other hand, she gives n dollars to Bob, then she will have 8 times as much money as Bob. If neither gives the other any money, what is the ratio of the amount of money Alice has to the amount Bob has?    

 

                                        (A + n)  =  4 • (B – n)   

                                         A + n    =  4B – 4n    

                                         A – 4B  =  –5n                   (1)    

 

                                         (A – n)  =  8 • (B + n)   

                                          A – n    =  8B + 8n   

                                          A – 8B  =  9n                    (2)   

Multiply both sides  

of (1) by 9                        9A – 36B  =  –45n              (3)    

 

Multiply both sides  

of (2) by 5                        5A – 40B  =    45n              (4)      

 

Add (3) and (4)               14A – 76B  =  0   

 

Add 76B to both sides               14A  =  76B   

 

Divide both sides by 76B   

                                                  14A          1    

                                                  ––––   =   ––    

                                                  76B           1                       

 

Multiply both sides by 76/14    

                                                      A          76                         38

                                                    –––   =   –––   reduces to   –––   

                                                      B          14                          7   

 

It works if you accept the  

concept of negative money.  

That is, n must equal –2 dollars.    

 

Say Alice has 38 and Bob has 7        

                                                     (38 + n)  =  4 • (7 – n)     

                                                      38 + n   =  28 – 4n    

                                                             5n  =  –10     

                                                               n  =  –2       

and               

                                                     (38 – n)  =  8 • (7 + n)    

                                                      38 – n   =  56 + 8n      

                                                          –9n   =  18    

                                                               n  =  –2
