Quote from shortie:

as an example check out "Color Lines" - amazingly addictive despite a rather simple concept and a small board.

Boring. All the geniuses in the past, now, and in the future will never come close to explaining or creating all that God has done.

They think this is achievable, but it is not.

Quote from nitro:

There is no question in my mind whatsoever that the most beautiful intellectual pursuit in this world is mathematics, a "game" in pure logic and imagination. My favorite branch is Number Theory, in particular Algebraic Number theory or Algebraic Geometry. Here is a pretty proof of something extremely elementary but interesting non-theless:

Mathematical Physics is also extremely interesting. For example, here is something that often helps people imagine the entire universe and current theories. The Gabriel's Horn is an object naturally studied in elementary calculus. It has finite volume, but infinite surface area. That means you could take a finite amount of paint to paint it!

This is a simple model of how our universe could be infinite and still finite at the same time. This idea is important in String Theory.

Should they not try? There is beauty in the quest for that knowledge. Call it 'God' or 'higher power', 'Mother Nature', 'the Universe' ...the quest should be encouraged

Although you might not think it can be strategic, in bad company 2, you can out think your opponents in which are real humans, and kill them

Kind of like trading.
