Hey all,

I just thought it was poliet to introduce myself before I started posting here so you guys would have some sort of idea who I was.

I always find these types of posts hard but I guess I should start off with where I work... I'm an IT assistant at a law firm called Borden Lainder and Gervias LLP. I'm going to school to finish my degree in computer science.

Since this is a Star Wars forum I guess I should say I really like the last Star Wars movie but my favorite and always will be is The Empire Strikes back.

My favorite video game of the moment is Guild Wars, I currently have a monk named Yummy Cookie and a Warrior named Tracy Tames in that game. My favorite FPS at the moment is Counter Strike Source although I haven't played that in some time.

My favorite operating system is Linux, I'm running Fedora Core right now as well as Windows XP for games and it is working just fine. I'd really love to have some disscussions about Linux I might go check out the tech forum after this.

It's rather late I'm in North American Eastern time, so I might get some sleep now but other than that I'd just like to say hi to everyone.

Thanks for reading this if you did and if you didn't that's ok too, just trying not to jump right into the community without the proper introduction of course.

Hi. Your task is to replace Shintock.

Good luck.

The forums don't always look like this I SWEAR!

Welcome to Massassi!

I'm sorry to say you've caught us at a rather bad time though. The forums are undergoing some "tweaking" and it may be a while until they're back to normal (whatever the heck that is). Welcome all the same, and enjoy your stay - it will of course be permanent since I'm afraid we now possess your soul.

*evil laugh*

Welcome!

I do hope that you know, that by registering here, you have forfeited your soul to Brian Lozier for all eternity.

Now that that's cleared up, I'm sure that you'll enjoy all that Massassi has to offer.

welcome, please make yourself at home. excuse the mess, we are having some technical problems but the staff are on it.

DSettahr! you missed a spot!!

Other than a few style/color error there is nothing technically wrong with the forum, like any upgrade there is always the fine tweaking I'm sure your administration staff is doing their best. They must be pretty overloaded right now, but the forums from a coding point of view are excellent in my opinion. That's typically how I analize web sites and what not.

Hey, you can help me out, actually. I'm sueing Brian for ruining my life.

>.>

Do not bite the hand that feeds, Anovis.

I like you. I approve.

Make yourself at home, don't mind the haggis, etc etc.

Turn to GBK for a linux discussion.

Okay...I found another way to make Yummy Cookie useful. Instead of sueing Brian, I'll make YC make cookiees for him!

Wookiee Cookie

Greetings and pleased to meet you; welcome to Massassi!!

How the heck does this work?

Thats easy. Move the teal triangle where the red triangle is, line the orange triangle with that teal triangle, line up the green triangle with the orange triangle, and put the red triangle on the top of those.

Voila.

It has one space missing because it was built to fit the red triangle where the teal triangle is, and thus it is missing one block.


And now...


Welcome to massassi!

Please deposit your soul at the door, and keep all limbs and elbows inside the cart at all times.

Please beware of the MadQuack, though sitings haven't been seen of him lately,
and have a nice trip!

Thank you for visiting the Massassi temple.

But that's not the point. The point is that it shouldn't be possible. Right? I mean, the pieces aren't changing size or shape, so how is it that the final result can change area? Bleh.

But if you look carefully, they don't take up the same area. There are subtle differences. :p

Meditate on this, I will...

Welcome...to where you'll be forced to live the rest of your life. I heard that if you escape before 100 posts they'll forget about you considering you a lost cause...but I didn't knwo about this til post 101...so please..fulfill my dream,.AND TRY AND ESCAPE! SENT A LETTER TO MY FAMILY TELLING THEM WHERE I AM! PLEASE!...I mean...*in a now sedated voice* Welcome to the Massassi Temple Forums....

Ha, that's actually quite simple thrawn. I can picture it in my head but it's hard to explain, so ask questions if you don't get what I say. The 1st picture has a shalow incline at first (red) thus the teal triangle increases the incline later leaving more area below them. The second picture has the greater incline first followed by the second. Hmm, this is hard to explain.


I KNOW!!! I'LL DRAW A PICTURE!!! I'll be back...

Ok, as you can see, the 1st picture has a smaller area than the second, even though all I did was flip the top 2 lines (I used copy>paste, then a 180 degree rotate to make sure I kept all proportions) Thus, the second picture must remove some area from another location. It just so happens that the exact amount of area gained from switching the triangles is equal to 1 square unit The final answer is that the pictures you posted don't change area because the top of the overall "triangle" is made up of 2 non-parallel lines which decieve the human eye.

Welcome to Massassi

Oooh, that is sneaky.

Damn, that is a very clever optical illusion.. it looks straight.

hola and welcome.

You just aren't very smart.

Welcome, Cookie dude.

With your good grammar, love for games, Linux, Star Wars, and tech knowledge, I'm sure you'll fit right in.

yeah.

welcome to massassi, you'll love it because you hate it and you'll hate it because you love it.

Hello.

When the kak did Shintock leave, Thrawn?

What Are You Listening To Thread

How about choosing a new, more suitable name other than "Yummy Cookie"? The name Yummy Cookie makes me think of you as a little, hyperactive kid with half a brain (which you are not)

I chose the name based on my favorite sesame street character when I was a child, I'm 19 now but I still like to remember the time of playful inocents, I'm sure everyone can relate to that, so Yummy Cookie sticks.
