and wouldn't you know, he's right! :D

i agree. although IF he wants a better quality of help, he SHOULD post some trades. gekko, you've got a decent chance of getting some valuable assistance here. it would be a pity to let the opportunity go without giving it a shot. strike while the iron is hot.

yes, that's the answer, but how can we KNOW that is the answer? i said your proof fails because you have D = number of dots, and then you have the statement, "D sees". that's just nonsensical.

here's another one. i got this from that site ddefina (i think) recommended. FINALLY got it today. man this stuff is frustrating. i hate riddles!! A woman spends one-sixth of her life in childhood, one-twelfth in youth, and one-seventh as a single woman. Five years after she got...

not strictly correct. the monks that have it will know on the 10th evening. the monks that don't have it will know on the 11th.

thunderdolt, since you are so fond of quoting the bible, explain these rippers in the context of your "loving" god: Deuteronomy 21 18:21 A Rebellious Son 18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline...

so because YOU don't get it, i'm an idiot huh, goldenarm? what a jerkoff. the question you must answer is "how do YOU know if YOU have a dot"? if you see ONE guy with a dot, and he DOESN'T kill himself, guess who he is seeing a dot on? YOU. he doesn't kill himself because he can't see HIS...

and then do you not notice the obvious contradiction there? then again, you don't strike me as the kind of person that is too concerned with reason and understanding. just throw enough shit against the wall and some of it might stick, huh thunderdolt?

which is exactly why i wil always provide the counterpoint that exposes your mindless cult for as the great devaluer of human life that it is. i hope you realise that preaching fire and brimstone doesn't really endear you to anybody. the only likely thing to happen is that people get a...

oh brother... Jay Yu??? is this where donny miller is getting his crap from? say no more. any scraps of credibility floating around have just been shot. PS - moderator, i resent having my good name attached to this don miller/jay yu BS!!!! (i didn't even start this thread. abuse of...

i agree, you have to keep trading when you're doing well. if you're gonna stop, stop when losing. it's counterintuitive, but so is so much of this game.

aphie, how many trades have you actually made? i'm all for learning from mistakes, but those are gross generalizations you speak in. i really wonder whether you've been at this for long enough to be able to do that. in other words, what makes you so sure that it's what you were doing that...

when only one person has the dot, it takes one night for this to be realised. that night, he kills himself. when two people have the dot, it takes two nights. the first night, A will see only B's dot, and B will see only A's dot. when they both come back the next night, A will...

hey? they DID NOT know there was ten. the guys that saw 10 dots were hoping that that was all. the guys htat saw nine dots were hoping that THAT was all.

hiiaaaaooo, are you calling me a liar when i say a solution exists? if not, could you please tell me whether or not the two man example i used makes sense to you or not?

hiiaoaoo, the monks DID NOT know exactly how many there were with dots. just answer me this one question, when it is said to you that a solution exists, do you believe that statement or not? if you do believe that a solution exists, go back and read commissso's (I refuse to call you...

get off the high horse commisso. i can assure you that, given the way our private conversation went, you certainly not blameless in this misunderstanding.

commisso, i never asked you for how YOU got the answer. that is, i never asked you what mental processes were involved in you working it out. i asked you to explain your answer to me. much like hiaaooo and gordon are asking now. if you remember our conversation, i asked you if you were...

gordon, we can just imagine that the monks had developed the dots and that they had all noticed them at some point in time BEFORE they the head priest informed them that the dots were symptoms of a deadly disease and that any monk with a dot must kill himself. get it? the monks already had...

it's not vital. i don't mind explaining it again, but please trust me that the solution doesn't require the monks to know how many had dots. ok?
