Saturn's Polar Hexagon

They had me at hexagons instead of squares. I foresee several sleepless days of 'just one more turn'.

Ya, the 'faster than light' bit at the end was a bit unclear, but they didn't say it traveled at 30c, they said it traveled at 30/28c i.e. 1.0714285714285714285714285714286 times 'the speed of light'. This means a pattern in the game can travel slightly faster than one square per 'turn' which is otherwise 'the speed limit'.

If you stared at this really closely you would probably find that when the "ship" passed through the "Stargate", it jumped 2 extra squares, and so on average the "ship" traveled 30 squares in 28 time steps. V = Dist/Time so 30 squares / 28 time steps = 30/28c where c = 1square/time step. But I didn't state at it long enough to check.

To me, the 'Primer' example was the coolest. It's certainly surprising to see prime numbers pop out of two simple rules.

I wonder what would happen if a hexagonal grid was used instead. *Asks Google*

Oh, someone thought of that... check it out:

Select the 'pattern' button and checkout what's been found. My favorite: Supernova

they want to sound technical so they use the word "basic"?????

by the way, i love putting the G in GUI, it's my job, i always wanted to do one of those hollywood codebreaking GUI's with the spinning wireframe globes and the warping hexagons and the numbers going clackety clack like a fruit machine, inexplicably rendered in an oldskool LCD style typeface.

Yeah, that’s funny. I claim the documentary is confused and simplistic and your answer is that I should do research.

Ok, what does the fact that Hitler might’ve escaped say about Israel? What is the vid’s view on the UN? I looked up Canaan on Wikipedia, but why is that name significant? So what if the hexagon/Star of David means a number of things? And if the CIA recruited nazi’s how does that relate to Israel? Remember the title of the vid is “Brief history of Israel”; most of what is said in this vid doesn’t even remotely relate to Israel.

Do you want sources for my claim that not every Jew is an Israeli and vv and that not all Palestinians are muslim?

I've been having trouble lately trying to encabulate my semipermeable resistors in the solid-state hexagonal compartmentalizers. Will the retroencabulator fix this issue, or will I need a stronger encabulatory conductive stabilizing radiometer?

Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun.

Saturday, the sixth day, is named for it.

How many sides to a hexagon?

It seems like Wenger wants you to do one thing: throw out your old knives. Actually, it wants you to do several things: throw out your bike tools, your toiletries, your laser pointer and so on, because you can find all of these instruments in a huge Swiss Army knife, which includes every tool the company makes. Wenger is calling the contraption “Giant Knife Version 1.0.” It debuted with all 85 features and can perform hundreds of functions.
Who doesn’t need a cigar cutter next to a bicycle chain rivet setter next to a golf divot repair tool? Wenger is on to something with this everyman’s gadget. It wouldn’t be a knife, though, without a blade, so Wenger put seven in the line-up. And it wouldn’t be Swiss Army unless it came with tweezers and a toothpick. (They’re included, too.)

Here are all 85 tools included in Giant Knife, Version 1.0:

Dennis Pireta, Wenger’s marketing director put it succinctly when he noted, “This is not exactly going to win any awards for lightest, smallest or most efficient tools…” The knife is a brute, weighing 2 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 8.75 inches. But don’t worry, it has a key ring so you can carry it on a belt loop.

Wenger set the price at $1,200.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Hmm, I can think of a couple of reasons for not going with the little host logos in the hexagons.

1. We may run out of hexagons.
2. We may get cease and desist letters for misusing their logos.
