  • was about to fall asleep but then PROPOSITION:

    • all magic squares are constant multitles (all numbers multiplied by a certain value), or shifted (all numbers added to by a certain value) of a very few variations of “base” magic squares this seems intuitively true by a sleepy deprived person at 1am, but if we can prove for these “base” squares, would that be the way to prove for the general case?

    i.e. there r and infinite number of 1x1 magic squares, but there is only one case to deal with if we want to prove anytning about it


  • this is actually interesting, im currently on bed so im not writing a proof, but the rule for a 3x3 magic square of conseqetive numbers seemed to be (tested on one other example) that its inverse is 1/(3*middle number), the 3 could be the dimension of the square?

    if this is true, this begs the questions:

    • is it still true for squares of non conseqetive numbers?
    • what happens when the square is 4x4 where a centre number doesnt exist

    either way im gonna have a go at it when i wake up tmr, and im pinning this for being one of the coolests finds in the community














  • I’ve seen some people talking about the reason this song being pop is that all albums must have a radio song where almost everyone in the general public would accept. So my personal take while this song diverges from the classic LP style and the 2 previous songs, it doesn’t really count towards the theme of the upcoming album.

    I hope this song is just a show of “we can do this style” rather than “we will be doikg this style from now on”, because I can already name a handful of pop songs with a similar style, and it kinda loses the point of LP.













  • Hint:

    spoiler

    Try out the following tasks before going for the big one

    1. Draw a circle of radius a.
    2. Animate a point on circle a, let that be your rotational speed.
    3. Animate a circle rolling horizontally (along the x axis) at your rotational speed.
    4. Animate a point on that horizontally rolling circle.

    You should now have an idea on how to draw a hypocycloid.

    because I have never heard of this argument before, ever. most media’s stance on politics is “their party bad our party good”, but the “all the parties are pretty hypocritical” argument has never been explored properly, because its depressing and nobody likes it.
