So I enter these every 108 minutes into the terminal or the Mario Collection jumps in time and space and we have to find the next station? Got it.
Teachers who rely on PEMDAS do not understand mathematics. Grouping is important, however, people should be taught to evaluate and simplify based on terms in a mathematical expression.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm a litterature/art guy at school, the maths I had at school were rather basic and we used PEMDAS, learning the order of operations lol
For example, 9+18-13*2 contains three terms. Terms are any set of values separated by a + or - sign. In this case, the first sequential term is 9, the next sequential term is 18 and the last term is 13*2. These terms can be looked at separately and the central conceit that expressions need to be evaluated in "order" is false. PEMDAS would say you have to multiply first. No. You can instead add the first two terms to get 27. Then you can multiply the values in the final term to get 26. If you took this approach, you simplify the expression to 27-26, which is equal to 1.
Teaching people PEMDAS completely disregards the flexibility of numbers and reinforces the false idea that mathematics is driven by strict procedures.
I think they'll release it. Sit on it for too long and you'll need to return to tweak things.
While it is entertaining to see folks discuss math and how numbers function, you are putting way too much thought into it.
Yeah I have no idea what you're talking about...
Now please apologize to my dear Aunt Sally!
THPIOG?
We got the next Zelda subtitle, people!
I'm basically on the team of the numbers are red herrings and that '28th' and 'generally' is all we should be looking at from cap.
wow, i just remembered there was once a tv show called lost that people cared about
omg!
Gonna bet those numbers in the national lottery, wish me luck.
This. It's probably just the 28th, and if it isn't, my mind can rest knowing we're not too far off
I started typing an argument to this, because of the difficulty of teaching children numerical concepts, before I was convinced of your argument. People need to understand how numbers relate to each other, the concept of mathematics and numbers should not be a simple algorithm.
this
worst-case scenario, we're having 2 nintendo events during the next 15 days
I think there's serious discussion to be had about MP4 possibly being a multiplat game. BotW 2 will release by 2021. EPD 8's new 3D game will release by 2021 most likely. A successor to Switch will probably come in 2023. A new 3D Zelda can't make it. 3D Mario can't. Nintendo will want a premier single player game at launch.
7, the amount of weeks until the next amiibo release in America
15, the number of mainline Mario platformers
35, it's the 35th anniversary for Mario
16, the amount of mainline Mario platformers by the end of 2020?
8/20, the current month and the month of the reveal
Later this month a new mainline Mario will be revealed for Switch to launch on October 2 to celebrate the 35th Anniversary. Thanks Nate!
I know, but i guess lead and executive producers are different things
Oh wow this gave me access to Reggie's savings account, thanks Nate
Order is very important in mathematics. The reason why order "does not matter" in many common contexts (such as addition, multiplication) is that these operations are special. Specifically, addition and multiplication are both binaries operations which are associative (i.e. (x + y) + z = x + (y + z)) and commutative (i.e. x + y = y + x). PEMDAS is a convention, not a rule, which (in part) states that the expression x + y * z should be interpreted as x + (y * z) and not (x + y) * z, since a priori the rules of addition and multiplication do not actually give meaning to such an expression.
Additionally 35 could be just the Mario collection
So does THP 35 OG mean anything
If you had said 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 I would have understood. (Anyone get this reference??)
Well, a switch pro would have every switch game obviously, and a switch 2 wont happen in 2021, and if BoTW2 misses 2021 while using the same map, it means something went WRONG during development
There are circles around some numbers. You'll have to zoom in and squint a little.
MP 4 maybe but not Zelda BoTW2
... also can we stop talking about her?
Metroid Prime 4 and Mario Kart 9 is perfect for the Switch 2 launch.
I already worked it out, it's the subtitle of the next Zelda game.
I'm bored at work with nothing to do.
Assuming Order of Operations matters, here's all the distinct combinations of calculations based on Captain's Numbers. This also assumes that the 18 circled is just the date of the indie.
2-9+3*1 = -4
3-9+2*1 = -4
1-9+2*3 = -2
9-3+2*1 = 8
2-3+1*9 = 8
9-2+3*1 = 10
3-2+1*9 = 10
9-1+2*3 = 14
1-3+2*9 = 16
3-1+2*9 = 20
1-2+3*9 = 26
2-1+9*3 = 28
Combine that with lightning strikes twice (assuming we get 2 directs in August), we can rule out everything up until the 20th.
I very much doubt we'll have an indie the 18th and a general on the 20th (unless that's the real hidden meaning behind lightning strikes twice).
Combining that with Nate's hints, I'm going to go with it's either the 26th or 28th. My money is on the 28th.
