Power and value assignment puzzle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a cryptarithm puzzle where participants must substitute capital letters (T, A, U, B, E) with different digits (0-9) to satisfy the equation (TAU).BETA, which, when rounded, equals a two-digit integer representation of PI. The goal is to minimize the absolute difference between (TAU).BETA and the actual value of PI, while ensuring that T, B, and P are nonzero digits. Clarification is provided that in this context, PI refers to a two-digit positive integer, not the mathematical constant π. The discussion also touches on the definition of a cryptarithm, emphasizing the rules governing such puzzles.

Substitute each capital letter in bold by a different digit from 0 to 9, such that (TAU).BETA when rounded off to the nearest integer is equal to PI, and the absolute difference of (TAU).BETA and PI is the minimum. Each of T, B and P is nonzero.

I underlined a little of your post there...
Do you mean PI as in π, the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter?

If so since when is Pi an integer? Is that the puzzle here?

In the current puzzle, PI is a two digit positive integer in consonance with the requisite substitution in conformity with cryptarithmetic rules and does not have any connection with п.

The relevant definition of a cryptarithm is given here.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
