AI Thread Summary
To create a fair schedule for a darts league with 14 players and start times between 7:30 and 10:30 in 30-minute intervals, a balanced distribution is essential. The goal is to ensure that each player has an equal number of early and late starts to avoid complaints about unfair scheduling. The current alphabetical order method favors players with names starting with 'A', leading to imbalanced start times. A potential solution involves developing a rotation system that assigns start times based on a set formula, ensuring equitable distribution across all players. Further adjustments may be needed to account for the fact that the same players face each other weekly.

Hi, wondering if anyone can help solve a query I have.
I've been tasked with setting up a local darts league and want to make it fir regarding start of play times.

We have 14 players and i wish to distribute these players between 7:30 and 10:30 for start times in 30 minute intervals.

Any sort of formula/cheat table so everyone gets the same amount of 7:30 starts and 10:30 starts this is because people may complain if they keep getting late starts and the online league software we are using seems to prefer alphabetical order so someone with the letter 'A' at the start of their name gets to play at 7:30 14 times out of 26 games.

any advice?

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
