Nauseated

 . . .  It’s not that it would present a problem generally  . . . it’s the “C” in CDD. I was exposed to contagious dumbness. I needed to wait for it to wear off a little before I risked giving an answer. If I gave a wrong answer, someone (you) might troll me and that looks bad on my permanganate (permanent) record. Thanks for the generous compliment. I’ve never given a wrong answer -- even in the most adverse of conditions, so the risk is minimal I’m sure.

Here’s the answer:

2.50 moles of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) contains (2.50*4 =) 10 moles of oxygen.    

Are you related to Sorasyn?  You’re not deadly enough to be him, but you have a comparable lack of chemistry skills.  You also have CDD. Of course many on here do, so it’s not really definitive, it’s just a “birds of a feather” kind of relation.

You are right about the not a chemist part . . . and the nut part, too.

Outstanding, MathsGod!

 You are in an exclusive category, sometimes known as the nines.

Well, ColdPlay, that’s why he makes perfect scores –he double-checks his work.

If you did that then your comment would be written as:

Good for you. Did you really have to edit “yay” twice?

Or

Good for you; did you really have to edit “yay” twice?

Often, 90% of the energy is used for the last 10% of perfection.

How old are you?

Old enough to remember a pre-fossilized CPhill . . . and when Melody adopted two tyrannosaurs.

Naus Corp. is sponsoring CPhill’s new TV show: The Art of Invisible Math. Now You See it Now You Don’t. Staring Sir CPhill and Lady Guinevere.  Brought to you by Naus Corp’s best selling products

The calculator page has (unobtrusive) ads, the forum doesn’t --which reminds me  . . .

I knew it was you Bertie; I recognized your voice and your accent.  Happy New Year.

Subtly signing my name to your work was a great way to troll Melody for the start of the New Year.

Thanks Melody for the Paddywhack and giving this troll a bone.  Rover doesn’t mind sharing. 

If my company asked me to write a basic analysis of what Alan’s equations did, this could be the first sentence.  The second sentence would elaborate on where (what intervals) this phenomenon occurs.

Words can rarely be as complete or precise as mathematical notation. However, they can give a general outline.

Let’s ask Alan if what I wrote is an accurate assessment or not, and if it is clear enough for anyone to understand, if s/he is also able to do the math involved. 

Are you referring to the formula that converges to pi. It’s not that hard. I will say I could not “nutshell” it the way Alan did –at least not with any do speed. After reading it I can translate it to words.

Alan is demonstrating the diverse, sub-liner nature of the series. Certain numerical values slow the convergence to pi . Small changes to these values will accelerate the convergence.

Here’s a question.

Is what I wrote BS or is it true? :)

Nauseated, how can you make Dragonlance a squire of Camelot   (Or camel lot)  when you are not a knight?

Actually, Sir CPhill did. I just formally declared him Squire Dragonlance –a Squire to CPhill, not the Squire of Camelot. Do you think the Queen will demote the poor kid? If she does that means he’ll be on the Queen’s SOL list as well as Santa’s.

Are you unwell ?

 No. I’m not unwell --it’s Christmas,so it gives that illusion. The troll alliance wants to petition to have the holiday abolished.  I was dismissed from the troll council and made persona non grata a few years ago when I quit charging tolls on Christmas.  I was reinstated after they found out I was charging triple for the return trip.

There is one consideration in evaluating Bertie’s error count: Some of his presentations are so advanced, very few would know whether he made an error or not.
