    You may have a siteban if you answer me these questions three. Are you ready?

    I'm game.....

    Alright. Number one, why do you want a siteban?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 FredTroll


    I'm drunk and I've been a bad boy....

    Correct. Number two, what is your favourite colour?

    Pink, with a hint of sarcasm...

    Correct. Number three, if k + 1 runners with pairwise distinct speeds run round a track of unit length, will every runner be "lonely" (that is, be more than a distance 1 / (k + 1) from each other runner) at some time?

    This isn't what feedback is for. Take it to tCN, PM, whatever, but not here.

    Depends on the length of time allowed. If infinite then feed the problem in to a Universal Turing Machine to see if its NP. If finite time then you will need some kind of probability smeer or sum over all paths or some such.


    My answer: Yes.

    DeV.
