![]() ![]() I think I have the answer to James' additional challenge: 11. On Jul 3 rd, 2003, 6:12am, James Fingas wrote: Here's a related question: What if M,N were real numbers?

I don't think it's worth refining the answer any more (due to diminishing returns). I have modified my better method to produce something close to optimal. But that doesn't matter, because I've got a better method that gives 1.00007615 now! Hmm. But maybe there are even more optimizations.ĭoh! I screwed up the calculations for that improved method, and it gives 1.000039506. But it's possible I screwed up somewhere, and it looks like there are other smaller optimizations that I could make.Īha! I have a better method. I worked out some equations then solved numerically, and my maximum size seems to be 1.000039015 cm. The only reason I know I didn't screw up the equations is that I didn't use any. That sounds like it's in the right ballpark. ![]() On the other hand I could have easily screwed up the equations. I get a possible diameter of 1.000039505 for an 8*4 solution. I think I might also be able to get James' solution, but the numbers are a bit tricky. Perhaps we have different solutions for the configuration of the circles that just happen to have the same M*N I can see that my solution can be trimmed to 7*8, though surprised by the slight difference in diameter wrt towr's solution. « Last Edit: Jul 3 rd, 2003, 7:22am by towr » I'm still quite a way off from James' 8*4 solution, but I have a 8*7 solution as well now. « Last Edit: Jul 3 rd, 2003, 6:17am by James Fingas » Here's a related question: What if M,N were real numbers? I've experimented with other strategies, but I think this one is optimal.Īs for an exact diameter, I don't have one, but I know you can make them at least 1.00000235 cm in diameter (quite conservative-a better calculation is too messy for me right now, but probably you could get 1.00001 cm diameter). The M*N circles can be larger by a very very small amount. ![]() I did a calculation that was evidently wrong. The distance (d) between circles in the same row is about 0.05733373693Įach rows adds about 0.8559664362 to the height (h),Īnd this time there's also enough extra room left on the side to actually fit the even rows. MxN=9x7 I get a maximum diameter (2r) of 1.008234938Īnd it fits 8 rows of 8 circles (again one more than needed) I think there was still an error in my last result, « Last Edit: Jul 3 rd, 2003, 2:31am by towr » The diameter wasn't asked, but if you want it this should give enough information to find it, somehow.Īnd yes, incidentally it also fits one circle more. It's easy to calculate that there is actually space left at the top, and since 7 is smaller than 8 there is space in the length-direction as well. And there is also room left at the top, so that the circles can be bigger since they can expand in height, and length. If you take a length 8, height 6 box, you can put 7 layers of 7 (diameter 1) circles in it. And in my case I think it does, and I'm sure that's also the case in James' solution. Just because I don't know the diameter doesn't mean larger circles don't fit. « Last Edit: Jul 2 nd, 2003, 4:37pm by Leo Broukhis » What is the smallest value of M*N such that an M cm by N cm rectangle can contain more than M*N identical circles, each with diameter 1 cm. ĭoc, I'm addicted to advice!

![]() It doesn’t have to be custom, but it shouldn’t look like you just walked off the set of Bugsy Malone either. The key to nailing the jacket, however, is the fit. While the degree of formality may vary depending on the occasion, a blazer or suit paired with a crisp button-down is usually expected. Despite some room for expression, cocktail parties are formal affairs. Men’s cocktail dress code has a much higher tolerance for more “fun” colors, but dark colors are the norm for these kinds of outings.ĭo wear a jacket and make sure it fits. A jacket typically serves as the statement piece of your outfit. Your suit jacket is always paired with matching pants, while blazers and sports jackets are standalone apparel.

We’ve outlined some visual inspiration and a list of general do’s and don’ts to keep you looking and feeling sharp at your next cocktail shindig.

These sale bundles are always much better deals than the in-app store, but even these vary in quality. The offer will pop up in the garden and then be available via a “sale” icon for a limited time (usually about an hour). We do not recommend buying directly from the shop, however.While playing, you’ll randomly be offered sales on bundles of coins-we usually get an offer once or twice a week. While the game can be played without making any purchases, coins accrue slowly from in-game activities and buying some extra can help out a lot on hard levels.

If you want to buy coins, wait for a sale.It’s sort of like Battleship: you should be able to see a gnome, know what direction it’s facing, and even figure out its size by looking at just a few dark green tiles near each other. You can see the white of gnomes through the thin areas of the darker green tiles when trying to find them (on a replay or otherwise), match lighter green tiles once then peek to see if they’re underneath. The lighter green tiles require two matches to be cleared, but they turn into the darker green after the first match. There are two levels of grass in the game: the lighter green, extra thick tiles and the darker green, thin tiles. And remember, you can see gnomes through thin grass.However, on our next attempt of this level there was no gnome in this spot and there was one instead in the bottom-right corner. In the image above, level 91, you can see a small gnome in the upper-left corner. So don’t put all your efforts into clearing the same grass as last time-rediscover the gnomes first by clearing strategic sections of the board to figure out where they’ve gone to. There is almost always more grass than there are gnomes, and the gnomes can potentially be found under any section of the grass. If you fail a match-3 level that requires you to uncover gnomes hidden in grass, the next time you replay the level, the gnomes will not necessarily be in the same location. Gnomes move around the match-3 levels.If you open the news feed and exit, the orange dots should go away.)

The “social media” aspects are just for fun.Technically you don’t have to fix the garden at all-you could just play match-3 levels, earn stars, but then never use those stars to help Austin rebuild the estate, but where’s the fun in that? ![]() Although you can spend stars as soon as you get them since you’ll always have a task on deck, you can also save them up and complete a lot of tasks all in a row for a faster sense of progress. Stars are only earned by completing the match-3 levels-one star per completed level. In order to complete garden tasks like installing benches, fixing the treehouse, etc., you’ll need to spend stars. You can save up stars as long as you’d like.Starting a new day completely refills your energy meter (up to the max of five lives), so it’s best to wait until you’re out of lives to move on to the next day.

This came from the Old French hu for an outcry, in turn from huer, to shout. This mysterious word hue is from the first part of the Anglo-Norman French legal phrase hu e cri. The laws relating to hue and cry were repealed in Britain in 1827. The same term was used for a proclamation relating to the capture of a criminal or the finding of stolen goods. ![]() If the criminal was caught with stolen goods on him, he was summarily convicted (he wasn’t allowed to say anything in his defence, for example), while if he resisted arrest he could be killed. Everybody in the neighbourhood was then obliged to drop what they were doing and help pursue and capture the supposed criminal. If somebody robbed you, or you saw a murder or other crime of violence, it was up to you to raise the alarm, the hue and cry. There wasn’t an organised police force and the job of fighting crime fell mostly on ordinary people. Our modern meaning goes back to part of English common law in the centuries after the Norman Conquest. As a result, you sometimes see the phrase written as hew and cry. A This idiom, meaning a loud clamour or public outcry, contains the obsolete word hue, which people these days know only as a slightly formal or technical word for a colour or shade. ![]() ![]() Specifies the storage device and folder on which to put the recovered files.
