its not possible
post something actually possible

okay here's my proof that it's impossible
let's call the number of spins needed for the first number a, the number of spins for the second number b, the spins for the third number c.
Now for the first number, no matter how you spin it, the number of spins that get you to the correct first number, divided by 3, is going to have a remainder 2. That's written as a mod 3 = 2.
Similarly, b mod 3 = 2, and c mod 3 = 1.

But b can also be written as a + c, since it's always moved up no matter if you spin a or c. So now it's (a + c) mod 3 = 2.
But we know what a and c are! (2 + 1) mod 3 = 2 -> 3 mod 3 = 2 -> 0 = 2
this is a contradiction, therefore the puzzle is impossible

are you taking intro to proofs? combinatorics?

nah but I like proofs
and that graph works just fine, it totally proves that it's impossible. But there are definitely other ways to prove it, I did it formally myself before I posted this. I'll probably post mine a bit later

If you subtracted one from the left two to get 223 you'd have to somehow subtract two from only the far right number without modifying the other two

but can you prove that it's impossible is the question

there are only 9 combinations you can reach from 333, and none of them are 221

wow that's some pretty good effort, good job

I have a puzzle for you. I'd also appreciate if you could vote in the poll what you think BEFORE checking out the rest of the thread. The puzzle is as follows:

You have 3 numbers, like on a bike lock for example, that can be either 1, 2, or 3. Examples could be:
[1, 2, 1]
[3, 3, 3]
[2, 2, 3]

Now you can do operations on either the first 2 numbers or the last 2 numbers. Doing operations on all 3, one at a time, or on the first and last at the same time are not allowed.

The operation is adding one to the two numbers. If the number is a 3, then it "wraps around" back to 1, like on a bike lock or a clock.

So starting out at [2, 2, 3] and adding 1 to the last 2 numbers would result in: [2, 3, 1]

For the puzzle, the numbers start out at [3, 3, 3] and your goal is to get the numbers to [2, 2, 1]. If you think the puzzle is possible to solve, provide a solution! If you think it's impossible, then prove it.

I already have an answer in mind but I want to see what you guys think.

It's probably clientCmdSetBuildingDisabled(false);l, during FortWars I had to prevent people from doing this when they were in combat mode

But I mean, it seemed like he was building on other peoples bricks. If you look at the picture, there's bricks on top of other peoples bricks, which he more than probably didn't have trust with.

I didn't like mr robot much
I mean it's ok
but not really great

I mean like spoiler alert: ["it was all a delusion" like ok why. who wrote this]
also I get that you probably like it because of a marginally realistic representation of hacking but I mean was it really

huge spoilers please dont look at if you havent seen all of season 1: [He's antisocial and has mental problems yes, that's why he's obsessive and has these tendencies to hack everyone he meets. And not everything is a delusion, mr robot aka his dad and the rest of his family was the delusion. All the other people are real. And it's not like that's the main plot points. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on!
and yes, it actually is really really accurate in terms of how hacking works. Which is another reason why I like it.]

Linux works for gaming for the most part. I haven't gotten Victoria 2 to work, but otherwise I've gotten every game I've tried to work just fine on Debian with WINE. Still, I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want Linux for other reasons.

I'd honestly just dual boot it. It's a little more work but then you can use linux for almost everything and then boot up windows on the off chance that WINE doesn't work.

but then again you have to consider the decent person to cunt ratio on here.

That's exactly the point, that's what he's not taking into account for other groups.

Okay snowflake, here's another example: I join a server on Garry's Mod, just some sandbox or prop hunt. Half the time there's a bunch of flamboyant furries spraying their furry research all over the map.

I'm not insulting you, so how about we both talk to eachother respectfully.

In your example, which does not happen half the time. Maybe like 10%-20% of the time, or more if you've picked a server which attracts a lot more people.
These people are trolls. They want to anger you. This is the exact response they want from you. Even if they are furries (A lot of them will do it even if they don't enjoy the content) it would be extremely irresponsible to claim every single furry is one.

These trolls are very visible because they're a vocal minority. That's what happens in every group; there's the majority and the minorities. Trolls do exist in the furry fandom, but they're the minority.

Even any groups you're in have vocal minorities who are trolls. For example how would you like it if someone said that you're a troll because you're a BLFer, and "All the BLFers they've seen are trolls. Everywhere they go on BLF there are trolls."

It was always just completely unwarranted. It could be about the loving Battle of Normandy and they'd put pictures of their furry drawings in between slides or have a furry creature pointing at a graph, map, or some stuff. Anime was just as annoying.

So because there are some annoying furries that you've seen irl and on the internet, you generalize it to literally every single one...
Yeah no, as much as that might seem like it makes sense, it really doesn't.

Furries are some of the most rude and aggressive people I've encountered on the internet.
Also, the premise of their fandom loving disgusts me.

Sorry that you've only seemed to encounter the bad ones, but it really is a kind group overall. It's the bad ones that tend to get the most attention is all.
Also the fandom isn't based around anything "officially," there is no premise other than I suppose anthropomorphic animals, which I doubt disgusts you.
