Make a program that calculates "The answer to live, the universe and everything!"

They do not. My test for only even numbers failed (this is very surprising) so I either messed up or the much less likely thing happened, that an odd number is the first "triangle number" with over 500 divisors

You are delving into a place not meant for mortal man.

Here, have a cookie.

 

[kamap1]

Do you also get a cookie when you're already there?

All it does is just say "42" really big on the screen?

I got the answer btw. In trying to optimize the calculation speed I made a mistake that happened to skip the correct answer. It still took several minutes to complete but apparently it can be done in under a second. I now realize that using the factored form of the series is way way way more efficient and might try that later on if I feel like optimization.

So the cookie worked. Excellent news.

@Jcakes : I don't think those exist. I hear about them though. Have never seen one, but maybe because I never play at night. Have you caught a shiny Magikarp yet? I'm hoarding candies until I get one so I can evolve my red Gyrados. Also caught another Lapras with this event, so not too bad.

Har har har. I studied english for over 12 years, sucked in it, barely could say a sentence without a dictionary. Once I got off the school and started to use english myself on forums and for reading, only then I learned some english and could actually talk with a stranger on the street. Studying = sucks. Using it in practice = now we're talking!

Agree 100%. I studied about 8 years of Spanish, and there were people in the class that couldn't put a full sentence together. I traveled 8 months in Latin America. Learned more in those 8 mo. than 8 years of classes.

Now, I'm getting there on my 3rd language. And, it's only because I'm using it with my baby girl. My advice for anyone wanting to learn, is only take 1 or 2 years of classes. Just get down the basics: present and past tenses, and some vocabulary. Then you just gotta practice. Every day. Make some friends, find co-workers, or travel, and force yourself to practice every single day.

Is anyone here excited about the Brood War remaster?

Does anyone know of any coding challenges I can work on over the summer? I'll have too much free time and will be an intermediate coder in C by then, I suppose.

Currently working on some Project Euler problems (currently this one) which requires a lot of optimization to be feasible.

hi, try these:

you use coding to get the game working and there are alot of options to pick the language.

Just water for me today, thanks.

Sweet. I'll bookmark this and take a closer look in 1-2 months once I have slightly more experience and way more free time

Me, sort of. BW and D2 combined probably make up for at least 90% of all the time I have spent playing PC games in my life

 

[kamap1]

Yes but it takes about 7 and a half million years to calculate it.

A similar story ran in an Australian newspaper on the same day, except they were spiders.

That's right, giant spiders fighting bears.

Rivals of Aether is finally out of early access and it's great!

 

[Drystan1]

I had an SPF dream last night I wrote up, but something else interesting happened.
My car got rear-ended. And is probably a write-off. Yay!

 

[Kestegs]

Congrats on getting rear ended I guess!?

BW remastered sounds okay. I played a fair amount of SC back in the day, but my favorite of the genre will always be Warcraft 2.

No shiny for me, one of the guys from my team got a 96IV shiny Karp with good CP too....

I did catch roughly 30 Lapras in this event

Liked. And stolen, in toto
