Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Brain Teasers

    Due to my latest inspiration by someones expertise in the area, I have decided to dedicate this thread to the exploration of our minds. I used to be quite intrigued by puzzles, crosswords and mathematical proofs, however recent years of merciless work and completely different requirements of my current studies I have floated away from the mathematical spectrum.

    Currently I am experiencing a nostalgia, so I figured that I can squeeze what I have long forgotten in to my busy daily grind and return to what once used to make dive into the different dimensions of logic in my mind. For those of you who are interested in joining me in this excavation, please contribute what you can and restrain yourself from cheating. Here I give you two puzzles that my rusty logical skills were unable to probe. AND REMEMBER NO CHEATING!!!

    In the following figure, the points a, b, and c, are each connected to the points 1, 2, and 3. Can you redraw the figure such that none of the lines intersect? If so, draw it. If not, either prove it cannot be done or offer an explanation.

      Without lifting your pen, can you draw continuous line that intersects all the line segments in the figure below (left) only once? If so, draw it. If not, either prove it cannot be done or offer an explanation. To the right, there is an example of a failed attempt with the segment that was not intersected highlighted.

        Mysterious Death

        Bert is lying dead. He has an iron bar across his back and some food lying in front of him. How did Bert meet his sorry end?

          HAHAHAHA! This is too good.

          I admit math is not my area and I'm quite perplexed by the first two but I have come across the Mysterious Death before. This was in my high school math class, when I was in this special program for special kids, in math which was purely logical problems such as this. We had problems about this and the Pit and the Pendulum, or 8 Bags of Gold, and other such crap, and I do believe I know the answer to the last one, although for fear of ruining it for others I will keep it on a downlow.
