Let's sum it up.

Am I the only one who things it is sad to have more forum points than chess score on the profile?
I'm not too concerned about it. I mean, it's not too realistic to think my chess rating is going to get up to 4200 to pass my current points value, even if I study real hard instead of playing in the forums . . .

Hmmm-- if it was self-inflating, via farting, would it be able to inflate itself if it wasn't already first inflated and thus present to generate the inflating fart?
btw, g(x) looks like -((x-2.5)^2), just saying for completeness ...
yes, it does look like a flip of f(x) ( = x^2 ) across the x-axis, thus the negative sign out front in g(x). But, and my eyes are not what they use to be, g(x) appears to intersect the x-axis at the point (3,0) and also appears to have a y-intercept of (0,-9) which is more suggestive of g(x) = - [( x - 3.0 )^2], that is a translation of the flipped f(x) by three to the right . . . of course only noting this for the purpose of completeness

Btw, do you guy not know what "spam" is? Spam means a form of mass advertisement.
You better get with it. The OP of a thread should be 1 step ahead of the thread's thought-evolution, not 2 steps behind!

Whaever it it, I totally complain and consider no fair to losse points base just on spelling. They have to fix that... or I will find another better chess website.
I'm pretty sure that's been taken care of.
you need more compact notation, dudes
g(x)= -f(x-3)
Couldn't one say (with a substitution for the dummy variable) that:
-g(u+3) = f(u) How's that for compactness?

Lol, I love farts and what I love more is sharing my farts with others. All raise!

I sense your meaning ,to sum up,if I may : could the fart exists without the fartee?
we will need to call in the experts ,where is winerkleiner?
I'm sitting on the pot.
Well I read thru all 231 posts and tho there is some funny stuff here I'm very confused now and I can't sum up ( I hate it when that happens ), must be all of that math stuff towards the end. Lets see now, if a+b=c and if x+y=z then how much is m equal to ??? ( oh darn I'm so confused )

And talking about PI, today is march 16, the international day of PI :D how about that?
Here in the Upper Peninsula the value of pi rounds to 3.14, so we celebrate Pi Day on March 14.

@cystem_phailure - its amazing how many values of Pi there are, it must vary with time zone, country, state or neighborhood? btw, epic name & photo
@chrisr2212212112... - I'm on it. Practice makes boring, I mean perfect. You are definitely my mentor. (have I just been recruited to the "Dark Side"?) btw, I think your name is the continued fraction representation of Pi !?! (that is, in your locality)
Of course I accept that the door theory is only my opinion,a wild and almost hysterical guess if you will and so I am still open to suggestion.
Perhaps the sculpture is inflatable and was transported deflated.
