Joined- DrueHi Stephen, always such interesting topics. What about you? Tell us about your brushes with fame! So for me, my favorite Physics Professor during college went on to become a Hugo and Nebula Award winning SciFi writer (his first novel had just been …
3 - DrueFog Fighters, formerly known as the Foo Fighters... good one!1
- DrueSupercramp (formerly known as Supertramp)1
- DrueI hope Factotum comes back and weighs in on this! But i (pun?) think the movie is (drum roll.....) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldenEye#/media/File:GoldenEye_-_UK_cinema_poster.jpg So nothing about imaginary (or complex numbers) like Factotum …4
- DrueI think I have it! Paradigm shift really helped! But I don't want to give it away other than to test my hypothesis by asking you a question. If you were to think about a hint in NUMERICAL terms, would the number 7 come up in a significant way …1
- DrueMan, I lost so much time going down the Imaginary and Complex route.... a+bi is the traditional way of denoting a complex number, where i is indeed the imaginary unit. Sometime I need to learn to break free of my paradigms....1
- DrueBrilliant!1
- DrueBTW, you had already solved "The Sum of All Fears" but left that off your summary. I'm sure that is correct.1
- DrueDarn you Stephen :-) You got me hooked on this thing! B4 is "Heat" (1995 Pacino/DeNiro) or "The Heat" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heat_(film)#/media/File:The_Heat_poster.jpg This one took me hours of research. I'm not smart enough to …
2 - DrueThat's so good! The Green Mile absolutley makes sense!! I was struggling with Sin City... I thought of that and sort of disgarded it, because at least I pronounce it like "sign" sīn and just from a spelling point of view the "e" is missing, but …2
- DrueA4 is "Beauty and the Beast".... and that is a rather subtle one.... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7c/Beautybeastposter.jpg The top part is Euler's Identity, which is said to be the most beautiful equation ever... and 666 is the …1
- DrueGoing out on a limb here, but I THINK D1 is Mean Girls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_Girls#/media/File:Mean_Girls_film_poster.png The equation looks like the mean equation and the "variable" looks like a girl...2
- DrueC1 MIGHT be Signs? (It's just 4 sign waves) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs_(film)#/media/File:The_Signs_movie.jpg1
- DrueD4 is Wall-E. (e = 2.7182818284...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WALL-E#/media/File:WALL-Eposter.jpg1
- Drue"Speed" (1994 film). It's an absolute value. Velocity as a math function is a vector with direction and would not be written with the absolute value.1
- DrueCould be! But, I'm going with Matrix, as that is how you would show a matrix...2
- DrueC4 is "Speed" ds/dt is how you write velocity. The absolute value of velocity is Speed. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/Speed_movie_poster.jpg2
DrueOk. This picture pretty low resolution. Very early Digital Camera Tech.... but YES, Monkeys have been trying to figure out how to ride motorbikes for a while now... They will get the hang of it sooner or later (this was taken at Angkor Thom in …
2- DrueLove your attitude.1
- DrueGreat question StephenL! As a certified Myers-Briggs Introvert who made a career out of interacting with people, giving presentations, selling, etc., I can tell you that I find my introversion cuts against me hard right now in the virtual world. …2
- DrueOk, I'm on a roll with the monkeys now. December 2005. There is a famous Onsen (Hot Spring Bath) & Ryokan (Japanese Inn) in the mountains in Japan outside of Nagano that is really hard to get to. The area is appropriately translated as Hell Valley. …
1 - DrueHi Stephen, I remember the chipmunks on top of Angel's Landing in Zion! They were everywhere. Is that where you were? Or were you rock climbing? I'm no expert on getting safely in close contact with wildlife. I have made two seperate trips …
1 - DrueI made my 3rd trip to Borneo in 2018, this time to the Kalamantan (Indonesia) part of the Island (the 2nd trip was to the country of Brunei just on a whim to go check it out for an extended weekend trip). We went to Camp Leakey so I could take my …
3 - DrueEven more interesting than the time we awoke to the sound of a Lion underneath our Tree-Top, 3-sided lodge (so completely open to the savanah outside) in Namibia, thinking I was just snoring really loudly, was the time twenty years ago when I was …
