    Simple combinatorics gone wrong

    Okay, got it. The solution is a number whose log is 115 805 766. Thanks, guys.

    Simple combinatorics gone wrong

    I should have mentioned earlier, but I meant a bitmap format.

    Simple combinatorics gone wrong

    So... (2^24)^(3264*2448) ? Basically 17M^8M? Are you sure that's correct? It seems too simple.

    Simple combinatorics gone wrong

    No matter how insignificant the difference is, I meant to calculate e-v-e-r-y single possible matrix 3264x2448 arrangement, given that each entry can assume 2^24 different values. so yes, there will be an enormous amount of shots in which the only difference from the next, will be a single pixel.

    Simple combinatorics gone wrong

    1. So consider an 8 megapixel picture (res: 3264x2448). Now, it seems rather simple but I just can't figure out how to calculate the entire number of possible shots/photographs one can take within that resolution, assuming each pixel can have 16777216 different values/colors. Homework...

    Simple combinatorics about an 8 MegaPixel shot

    Hello there, So consider an 8 megapixel picture (res: 3264x2448). Now, it seems rather simple but I just can't figure out how to calculate the entire number of possible shots/photographs one can take within that resolution, assuming each pixel can have 16777216 different values/colors.

    Can Knowledge of the Future Alter Its Course?

    Given a Universe abiding solely by deterministic laws, Laplace's reasoning seems to make perfect sense. So let us take this deterministic Universe and imagine within it a scientist to whom the, let us call it: the ultimate formula, was made accessible. So, being capable to plug this hypothetical...

    Is Faster Than Light Travel Possible?

    Well, wonder a spaceship which moves around at 250.000km per second. On it, someone flashes a light beam, which speed is c. Wonder the ship is long enough to the beam to travel for a few seconds (sure is a big ship). Wonder the spaceship disappears suddenly and the beam goes free into the vacuum...

    Is Faster Than Light Travel Possible?

    I realize it is known that nothing can ever travel faster than the speed of light, but that's just so confusing to me. Can i be given some proof? ^^

    Is Faster Than Light Travel Possible?

    It was all hypotherical but, why wouldn't one be able to move it at 1 spin per second? Anyway, is it right that an object approaching the speed of light, becomes heavier and heavier and turns into pure energy when hitting light speed itself?? If so, my Giant Circle, would transform in energy...

    Is Faster Than Light Travel Possible?

    Ok then. So now what I wanted to say in the first place. Picture a Giant Circle in vacuum, which radius is aproximately 47600Km. This would make its perimeter to be around 300 000 km if I am not mistaken. What if the Giant Circle would take exactly 1 second to make a complete spin? Then...

    Is Faster Than Light Travel Possible?

    The Light Speed has been proved to be around 300.000Km per second. So, Before continuing to expose my real thread, i need to know if it is really impossible to an object to travel faster than Light Speed.

    What i call the second Euler's Number

    Everyone of us know about the famous euler's number, which is e, which is aproximately 2.7182818...(as far as i cam remember)...which is used for many things in calculus... Well, i was wondering where the heck does e come from and i realize after searching in the web, that e is the limit as x...

    What Does the Third Derivative Mean?

    Does the Third Derivative of a funcrion such as: http://www.geocities.com/just_dre/terceira_derivada.gif have any meaning at all?
