I'm tired of the pressure on the general public to allow them to only rely on lab-quality data to draw their own conclusions. Not to mention the abuse of "occam's razor" and discouragement of "anecdotal evidence" as refutational tools. Much like the numerous examples of individuals saving fast food hamburgers (which…

Thanks RJT1 and gizmodo. Just bought one, hopefully i can stop using wetwipes now.

What is this from?

Your argument is stupid. You are assuming the conclusion, that he ran the distance, in order to disprove my statement. That is not a given. You can't use the assertion you are trying to prove as evidence of the assertion. All you have done is restate the known quantities: the runner allegedly ran 175 miles and he…

The distance itself is not out of the realm of possibility for humans. Ultrarunners do it all the time.

That movie is FANTASTICally awful. I actually love it, though, and whenever people want to start debating war, politics, & the Middle East, I always want to bring up this movie. Alas, I'm sure that, as Robert Heinlein did, most people took this movie seriously and don't see the ironic commentary on facism, xenophobia,…

I think "exactly" means no more, no less.

"Allowing the FBI to produce evidence without confirming that it was obtained legally"

Is this a sentence?

now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum, what might be right for you may not be right for some...

My last car was named Sally Ride, as I got her right around the time of her death. When I traded her in for my current vehicle I decided to go with the name Valentina Tereshkova.

I run Linux so whenever I read articles like this I immediately judge and look down on the mass of Windows and OSX users who can't be bothered to learn a little command line. Seriously, I know tons of programmers who don't know how to code unless it's in an IDE (text editor, what's that?). And don't even get me…

You people need anger management. The government is spying on us, children of color are getting killed by cops, and we're destroying the planet, but you're all having aneurysms over the word

"best"

Yeah, I added that to my formulation (seem main comment thread). I was holding off reading the 2nd part till I solved the first, but now I think you need that.

Consider the system as follows; BB= black bulls, BC= black cows, B= whole herd:

I think I figured out why, you need the second part to solve it because it gives more equations. The two equations are:

I made an assumption (scroll down for my post) and even then there are only 11 total equations (counting the trivial Bulls + Cows=herd). With 12 variables that is not technically solvable, unless there is another equation hidden in the crazy wording.

Ok then, consider the system amended as follows; BB= black bulls, BC= black cows, B= whole herd:
