I THINK the definition of a trinomial = "any polynomial with three terms". So x^3 3x 4 would be a trinomial, but e.g. x^3 5x^2 3x 4 wouldn't. WHY. There is like absolutely no reason to classify polynomials like this. Like...can't we just classify them by degree instead?

HS textbks drive me bonkers in so many ways. In factoring a quadratic expression with int coeffs (is that what a "trinomial" is?) first a) Why do we want to? and b) Have you ever questioned the "split the middle term" technique? Textbooks don't! It's far from obvious why works.
Will you answer "no" to this question?

No idea why no one has figured this out yet, but @standupmaths was wrong. There is another solution to the 5 5-letter words with 25 unique letters problem. I've actually seen it multiple times before, here it is: GLENT BRICK JUMPY VOZHD WAQFS
In p5, if you make a class, what do you name the method that draws the object?
33% draw()
33% render()
33% show()
0% display()

#cubing #speedcubing #wca I didn't make it past the waiting list for the previous @theWCAofficial comp, but another one is happening in the Netherlands so I'm doing that one. I'm only planning to do 3x3, since the cutoffs for the other events are too low for me. Also, new PB! :D

On November 13th and 14th, @theWCAofficial COMPETITION IS HAPPENING IN BELGIUM! I was waiting for this to happen for AGES, and it’s finally happening! I’m only planning to compete in 3×3, 2×2, Megaminx, Pyraminx and Skewb, since those are the only events I meet the cutoff for.

I came up with my own Master Pyraminx method: speedsolving.com/threads/my-… I based it off of the Reduction method for 4×4 , tweaking it a little to fit the Master Pyraminx. The one part I couldn’t do was parity. And, the one and only Daniel Goodman from @Dgcubes replied to me!

My self-developed (almost) Master Pyraminx method

So I recently bought 4 new puzzles. 2 of them I already knew how to solve, 1 was really easy to figure out, but the last one, the Master Pyraminx, was quite interesting. I wanted to share the...

I teamed up with Abhay to make a calculator app! My first-ever calculator app, my first-ever real parser. Abhay wrote the actual app, I wrote the parser (which is basically how it calculates things). Links to run the app in the description to the YT video youtu.be/dk1LTyh6cVA
