Lucky me! I did this about two weeks ago ( it was a problem given to us by our maths teacher, albeit slightly different, from a book called something like "Are you clever enough to work at google?) The answer is 2,2, and 9. Their product must be thirty six, and you know there is an eldest child. From there, you simply…

Just finished Mirror Empire, which I think is over-rated, and City of Stairs, which was brilliant. Now I'm onto Promise of Blood which looks... promising.

Here is some useful info about the rules really. You can ask a question that is conditional by which I mean "Is such and such true for such and such a such a person" or a slightly odder one "Is one(or whatever) of these statements true, under such and such a condition?"

Stuff like that is fairly useless, unless you use it as a starting point. A hint for those who want it:

Haha! I already solved this! A year ago... And it's too much damn work to do it again (our maths class was asked it). Good luck to you all, you'll need it.

I agree. But the game play might be good.

What exactly is the whole information thing about, in particular the information of black holes.

Emperor's Blades goes downhill very fast.

I think 1-1.5 years. Sanderson delivers.

Got any more to recommend? Steve is tied with Pratchett for me. Need to read some Black Company.

Steve is IMO the best alive... Well, tied with Sir Terry.

He has improved hugely.

Hello professor. As I understand it, matter is just a whole load of strings stretching through time. Now, what I want to know, how does energy fit into this picture? Do photons have photon-strings? And is the CMB something like one huge cone, stretching back through time? Please explain, as I have been wondering for a…

Why are people still saying that? It's a sequel my lad, so say From Software, and its going to be a right good one too.

Screw that, I already read 1k per minute, what's it gonna do for me?

Hmm, as a writer, he's really grown since then. His "Way of Kings" was pretty fun, but he improved greatly by writing the last books of A Wheel of Time. So Words of Radiance will probably be one of the better sff book out this year.

ah, i didn't see the PHD bit.

Hello mr Mandeville, I have two questions. One, how often does volcanic lightning occur? Two, if a super volcano did erupt, how much damage would it have done?

Oh God, that's what its called. I've been wondering for ages, thanks man.

All good things. Though some may accuse me of hypocrisy because of the Marshall plan being national re-rehabilitation, and not justice, I say that's wrong. Many of those who were instrumental to the War were sentenced, and the people did suffer. The war nearly destroyed Germany, and left it broken. Germany was given…
