are you talking about the second one? i haven't tried to solve it yet and I'm too lazy to look up high school trig right now so... as for problem 1 (the one i was talking about), x isn't 30 degrees. for both problems trig isn't allowed and you can definitely find the solution by just using...

@collinsmark congrats!1 the satisfaction after solving it is amazing. regarding the solution, i think if it were posted here it might tempt people to peek so you can indeed pm me if you want. the whole solution is out there on the internet anyways so if someone is really desperate they could...

it's a brain teaser with rules! using trig is forbidden.

ohh... so keep trying! try looking at the problem in different ways, exploring new directions. see what the already existing information has to offer. make a list of moves that you've already figured out that might be useful.

if you liked the films. you should definitely read the books. definitely. they are sooooo rich, they go into much more depth (especially around certain characters, like dumbledore) and some parts from the books didn't even make it into the films. please, read the books. it will change your life!

nope, but that's because i always solve geometry problems like that. the hint isn't an actual step closer to the solution, it kinda points to to a 'technique' you MUST use to find it (you can't solve it otherwise, it's kinda like trying to write a computer program without knowing part of the...

they are important, just like the rest of the information given.

mememememe! i read the whole series 7 times... each time i discovered something new and made connections between details in the books. did you hear about the new play coming up? and the new film? I'm not sure I'm fond of the idea... for me there's no harry potter world without harry, and no...

nivi. to this day.

i think there's only one solution? i got only one solution and after going over it multiple times i even checked online to confirm that my way of getting there was correct. remember, you're only supposed to use basic geometry, no trig or some sort of super advanced math.

nooo don't give up! it took me 5 hours to find the solution. and you don't need complicated equations, you're only allowed to use simple geometry.

i've done a real iq test which consisted of a few long sessions with a psychologist who gave me lots of tasks to do, like identifying patterns in pictures, determining which shape will come next, memorizing geometric shapes, logic stuff and many more i can't remember. i think the iq test...

hannukah just ended a couple weeks ago, we're not huge on keeping tradition here but on one night my mom made potato latkes with sour cream and we bought these really fancy doughnuts from a bakery

have you encountered it and/or solved it? what did you think?
