    Magic Square
AI Thread Summary
A 3x3 cube needs to be filled with numbers from 8 to 16 so that the sum of each row, column, and diagonal equals 36. An initial attempt resulted in an incorrect diagonal sum of 33, but a corrected configuration was provided: 13, 8, 15 14, 12, 10 9, 16, 11 This arrangement successfully meets the requirement. The discussion also briefly touches on the nature of the arrangement, questioning if it qualifies as a square. A link to a related article from Science News is included for further reference.

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...
