This is TOTALLY from a certain person you know…I’m NOT NOT lying…(he lied vigorously)
~Skullivan 💙🩵💙🩵💙💫🐾
Oh @skullivan-the-dawg
✨Taste my revenge ✨
Math facts 🔥
1. Did you know that x% of y equals y% of x?
This can make working out percentages so much easier.
For example, try to calculate 8% of 50 in your head. Not so easy. Now flip it & instead work out 50% of 8, I think it’s clear which is easier.
The answer would be 4.
Similarly, 32% of 75 may seem difficult to calculate, but 75% of 32 seems a much easier challenge.
The answer would be 24.
You're welcome.
2. A lovely symmetry
The product of 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 is 12,345,678,987,654,321.
Did you notice that the sequence of the numbers is 1 to 9 & back to 1?
I love symmetry.
3. Paper & the universe 😌💜✨
"You may start to witness thickness in the paper if you fold it more than 12 times. Folding a paper in half 103 times gets you the thickness of the observable universe." (Sadly I do NOT have found a credible source for the paper part of THAT, but it DOES sound very enticing)
Did you know that in our universe is most likely to be 2D shaped?
(Perhaps an infodump for the upcoming days? *wiggles eyebrows*
4. My favourite excuse when I am about to hyperfocus: 'just give me 10! seconds.'
10! seconds is exactly 6 weeks.
Truth to be told, you need to know what the "!" means, but for ME it's better that you don't.
I still remember Mikey shouting "OKAY!!!" cheerfully & then after days have passed without me joining them for meals he realized he had been bamboozled... And I had been starving, BUT I HAD THE ✨BEST TIME✨.
"!" means you multiply the number (in this case 10) by one less than itself (9) & keep doing that until you get to 1.
In this case: 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 3,628,800. And 3,628,800 seconds is EXACTLY six weeks.
You're very welcome.

It would take 262,954,560 books laid down lengthwise to circle the earth.
It would then take the average person 215,983 years, 6 months, and 14 days to read all of those.
You guys are more than welcome to check my math, I'm like 95% sure it's right 😅 (The average novel in the US is 6 inches tall. Earth is approximately 1,577,727,360 inches around.)

Chapter 14 Part 11: Disaster strikes
We're a full 14 turns into this chapter, but it's almost time to wrap things up.
Tumblr media
After the reinforcements stopped coming, I sent Rennac down to the treasure room that Ross opened so that he could get the other two treasures.
One is a Hammerne staff, which lets you repair weapons to full uses. The other is a Halberd, the horse-effective axe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also unlock a support conversation between Tana and Cormag. It starts out with Tana addressing Cormag as "Kuugaa-san" (remember, his name is "Cougar" in Japanese) and he tells her that since she is a princess, and he's just a soldier, she doesn't need to add "san" to his name.
It's always interesting what translators have to do in situations like these. The endings like "san" or "sama" that you can add to names in Japan are SUPER important, and just changing which ending is used, or not used, can change the tone of the conversation or give information about the relationship between the characters. There's no direct equivalent in English, so sometimes some translation-gymnastics are required.
In this particular conversation, I could see an easy solution where Tana calls him "Mr. Cormag" and he says that she doesn't need to use "Mr." with him because he's a normal soldier and/or because Cormag is his first name. Maybe she could also address him as "Cormag, sir" and he could correct that.
I was curious what the official translation did, so I looked it up as I was writing this, and it looks like she refers to him as "Sir Cormag", which actually makes a lot of sense in the context of Fire Emblem's fantasy-medieval-Europe setting.
In a way though, as hard as it can be to express the original feeling behind the honorific endings like "san" and "sama" in a translation, I think it gets even harder with the endings "kun" and "chan". While English does at least have honorific words for names like "sir", "Ms.", etc. it doesn't really have a standard "you are younger / less experienced than me" type word to attach to names.
So like, if childhood friends Tana and Eirika ever referred to each other as "Tana-chan" or "Eirika-chan", how would you show that in a translation? You can't really do it in just one word.
One solution might be to transform the name into a nickname. It's not uncommon in Japanese that someone you refer to with "chan" might also have a nickname that you use, so this is a pretty good solution. If Tana calls Eirika "Eirika-chan" in the Japanese script, maybe that could be shown by having her call Eirika "Eiri" or something in the English script. This can work, but it needs to be clear that she's using a nickname, so you might need to add a line that wasn't in the original where one of them says something to make it clear that it's a nickname. For instance, I'm not sure what I would do with Tana's name since it's already so short. If I had Eirika suddenly referred to her as "Ta" or "Tany" or something in an effort to show the feeling of the original "Tana-chan" it might be unclear that she's using a nickname to many readers.
Another solution might be to ignore the "chan" entirely if it doesn't really come up in the conversation that they are using an endearing address with each other. Context and the background of the characters should make it plenty clear that they are childhood friends, and realistically in English, many childhood friends don't use nicknames, and just refer to their friends with, you know, their names.
At any rate, the rest of their conversation is about how they are often targeted by arrows, being fliers and all, and Tana basically proposes that they watch out for each other, and that they use the calls of their mounts to warn of arrows since their human voices won't carry as far.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Rennac is looting the castle (there's one chest in the upper left he has to get to, so Tana and Cormag are escorting him there) the rest of the army finally opens the door and charges in. We've got a shaman, who started right behind the door, and the left druid who Lute didn't kill because I was worried about the counter attack.
Marisa takes care of the shaman.
Tumblr media
She gets a nice level up, but more importantly, she finally gets to C swords, which means she can use a killing edge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that she has some spare HP, Lute finally gets to take out this druid that kept targeting her with the berserk staff. Good riddance.
Tumblr media
The emperor himself is the boss. He's pretty beefy, and he's actually on a throne. 13 speed is not incredibly fast, but it's quite respectable, and it means everyone won't just automatically double him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While everyone moves into the throne room and gets set up, Rennac makes it to the upper left chest and gets this angelic robe.
Tumblr media
I finally have Ross next to Ephraim, so I get him the hammer that he probably should have had from the beginning of the map. Maybe he can attack the armored boss with this?
Tumblr media
But I have Lute attack first. She's fast enough to not get doubled, and while the boss's res is pretty good for an armored unit, he still has less res the def, so Lute can do decent damage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I check out Ross with that hammer I gave him, but unfortunately, the bad hit rates of axes, the avoid boost from a throne, and the boss's decently high speed make this way too dangerous.
Tumblr media
But Ephraim also has armor-effective weaponry! And he's faster than Ross, and he gets special dialogue with the boss!
Actually, it's not dialogue, it's monologue. Ephraim discovers that the emperor won't respond to him when he asks why the emperor would invade Renais and kill his father. He concludes, "So you're not your usual self after all..." (And uses that very useful word, "yahari", that I wrote about in another post ages ago!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So then Ephraim attacks and does big damage and...
wait
Why is Vigarde winding up?
...
...
FUCK!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
I did the math for damage and attack speed, but guess what I forgot to check that is literally right there in the battle forecast display?
Crit chance.
Vigarde had a 6% crit chance against Ephraim, and 6% is more than 0%.
...
...
Well shit. I guess I'm doing this whole map over again...
Next time: One moment. Technical difficulties. We'll be right back!

Upper Elementary - Negative Snake Game
Montessori math materials are designed to develop a mathematical mind by using conceptual math, rather than procedural math. As students move through the curriculum over the years, they use materials they are familiar with to build on previous knowledge and learn new concepts. In Early Childhood classrooms, children are introduced to the Addition and the Subtraction Snake Game, where they build golden bead snakes that represent 10 units by counting and replacing the colored bead bars. In Elementary classrooms, children are introduced to the concept of negative numbers using the Elementary Negative Snake Game where they solve equations with both positive and negative integers. This material fosters executive functioning, critical thinking, a deeper understanding of negative numbers, and arithmetic practice in preparation for algebra.

i learned of a 34-year-old Japanese mathematics professor who decided to host his lectures on… Pornhub.
His earnings of €250,000 per year stem from the fact that even though many may not be interested in the subject, they are nonetheless curious about his presence and attempt to watch the video, generating views.

Prompt 168
So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know. 
See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite. 
But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise. 
Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do. 
What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots. 
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#Coast City is where Hal Jordan lives hilarious enough#I just chose a random city but honestly a green lantern city is hilariously on brand for where Danny would choose to move#He’s just a cheerful space core dude who is glaring down several ghosts & helping others move on while he’s working#He’s also slightly uncanny valley to people outside of Amity & doesn’t realize it#He runs into a reporter Wes at some point & okay the fact he looks like the lady doing math meme when seeing Dan?#Utterly hilarious#Danny holding a newborn with matching slightly pointy ears and claws :)#Wes who is *pretty sure* Danny is cis but is second guessing everything now:#Danny is going to do his best to avoid any hero BS#He’s trying to do his JOB#Who cares if he brings his baby to work he needs to eat and he isn’t going to hire a babysitter#Bby Jordan tried to set the house on fire during his last tantrum do you THINK anyone else can deal with him? That’s what he thought now ou#Ellie visits as well & straight up melts out of the wall sometimes like a horror movie#She has weaponized her goo powers and is also excited to show her dad her new gravity ones#Space Core Danny + Fire Core Vlad = Sun Core Dan#Ellie has a Moon core (something something phases of the moon & travelling across the night sky)#Danny is encountering so many rogues and heroes and just doesn’t acknowledge it because he has a literal BABY who can destroy the entire JL#He’s very tired and would like a nap now

Math titbits
The square of the middle of any three consecutive numbers is always one greater than the product of the first and last numbers.
For example: If we consider the three consecutive numbers 7,8 and 9 82 = 64 7 X 9 = 63.

Early Childhood - Multiplication Bead Board
Look at that focus and concentration! This student is using the Multiplication Bead Board to begin to visualize and internalize essential multiplication math facts. This material concretely represents single digit multiplication equations so it is easy for a child to understand the underlying concept. This student is practicing the multiplicand of 4, working independently with autonomy and self-confidence.
