Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around creating and guessing math-related images that correspond to movie, book, and song titles. Participants engage in a playful exchange, sharing their interpretations and guesses while exploring the connections between mathematics and popular media.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant initiates the game by suggesting the creation of math-related images for titles.
  • Several participants express uncertainty about the titles and ask for hints regarding the time period of the films.
  • Discussions arise about the representation of mathematical concepts in the images, such as derivatives and points on curves.
  • Participants share guesses for the titles based on the images, with some guesses being incorrect while others are confirmed as correct.
  • Hints are provided regarding the mathematical properties related to the titles, such as black holes.
  • Some participants express concerns about their artistic skills when creating images, while others encourage participation regardless of skill level.
  • Multiple titles are guessed correctly, leading to further rounds of image submissions and guesses.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the format of the game and the enjoyment it brings, but there is no consensus on the difficulty of the images or the titles being represented. Disagreements arise over specific guesses and interpretations of the images.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention their lack of familiarity with certain movies, which may affect their guesses. The discussion also reflects varying levels of mathematical understanding and artistic ability among participants.

I think you have stumped us (well, I am stumped...:D).

Could we have a small hint? (Worried)

Sure...

Small hint:

Three of the four words in the movie title appeared in the image I submitted...

Hello again, anemone! (Sun)

I think it is safe to say you have stumped us but good! (Thinking) I would say you can now reveal your movie title, and then post another puzzle for us. (Clapping)

I think it maybe the case that my hint isn't clear enough...:o

Answer:
The Whole Nine Yards

The Whole and Yards are the three words that are revealed in the image and the reason that the dialog of the husband mentioned he doesn't remember the date of the royal wedding is because the royal wedding took its course on April 29 and the figure 9 is the wanted figure to complete the title...

Here goes another one for you guys to guess!
