Heh, wow, I was right on number sixteen.
It took some thinking. >_<
Basically if you hit every nth point (skipping every n-1 points) on a star of m points, you will touch every point on that star if and only if n is coprime to m.
So you pretty much have to count up all of the numbers coprime to m and less than m (good ol' programming languages making my life easier); subtract one because m-1 is coprime to m, because hitting every (m-1)th is basically drawing a polygon backwards; and then divide that number in half, because for every n that simulates skipping n-1 points in the forward direction, there is a different n that simulates skipping those points in the reverse direction.
Thus, you get:
399,
398,
199.
...And you know what the worst part of all is? I thought that up all on my own.
Warning! Extra high levels of geekiness have been reported in the surrounding area.
Please make sure to keep your emergency survival kit up to date.
Congrats, you know have 2 quotes on my facebook, the one in which you mentioned nearly every possible sport in one sentence, and then the high level of geekiness. As to your golden ration answer, that=a very nice guess....but wrong. |

the answer to the 1st riddle on the second half.
gravity?
|
Some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice,
but from what ive tasted of desire,
i hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
i think i know enough of hate,
to say that for destruction of ice
is also great,
and will suffice.
