Edit: Welp, seems to a mistake on my side only two of the three giveaways are still running.

So I have a lot of frustration with my PhD Thesis not working out as I wish (although I made good progression this year). And I have few possibilty to take it out somewhere. I just can't shout at people or be more of a dick then I am already. One should think I could let some steam off with playing games but I have the tendency to buy and play games which are sometimes annoyingly hard (to the extent that Steam suggest the tag "Hard" for me .....).

Sometimes once a year I'm loosing my temper so much that I "need" some kind of pain to calm down again and I bit myself (leaving a mark). I know this is not healthy and I'm not asking for advice. I'm more or less normal most of the time but sometimes those games are just messing with you. To the actual question. Do you have some kind of unhealthy behaviour (like sleeping not enough, don't we all) in your live or bad habits (like throwing something on the wall or even hurting yourself like me in this case)? Again the most time I am normal and calm but sometimes it all gets a little bit too much.

Also since there was a Summer Sale and I somehow pressed this as puzzle I will give you one. Let your rage out on math and start shouting numbers! (CV-Level 2+)

Feel free to give an answer to the actual topic or just bump it. Also don't share hints and solution and bla.
PS: I should go back to work on my guide -_- Somehow it is larger than i thought
PPS: Feel free to evaluate my guides and reviews.
PPPS: I REALLY should sleep more

Yeah, I can't keep a regular sleep pattern. Sometimes I can wake up early for a week, then there will be a night where I will not be able to sleep, and I'll spend the next week staying up at night and sleeping during the day, until I manage to fall asleep at night again

Is Q6 asking for the OEIS notation?

Since I have absolutely no clue as what OEIS is I can't answer the question. Just watch out for sequences. As hint: You don't need to solve the previous questions to solve this one.

OEIS is a notation for mathematical sequences.

Steam recommends me hard tag too :) And I just completed The Binding of Isaac for 100% today :D Will continue playing FLY'N which I won from you. So don't think that I forgot about it :) For me it's just the type of game which should be played irregularly, from time to time.
I think my unhealthy behaviours are procratination and bad day regime. I can forgot to eat or go to bed in the morning without any particular reason :(
And good luck with your PhD thesis! I'm starting to work on mine currently.

Stuck on Q7, the rest was quickly solved. I don't really get the question though, I had to google what an operation in math is, but I still can't figure it out. Good luck with the thesis, anyway!

My english is not well enough to be sure that the term "operation" is absolutely correct. But if you have the rest you should figure it out eventually.

I think it's a good word choice, FWIW.

1 +1 = 2. Operation: addition. Are we on the same page?

Also, (mentally) unhealthy behavior #1: giving up too quickly on mentally challenging tasks if they're not up my alley. Like this puzzle. Taken two minutes to type in Q1-6 and to try 15 different answers for Q7 -> given up. Easily frustrated with that kind of stuff. Luckily, it's different with problems that are in my field (economics, sociology and geography)

2: sleeping too much in weird rhythms, like in a day that could be from 2 - 7 am, 10am - 11am, again from 4-7pm and 8-10pm or something, if it's a "bad" day. Also sleeping on/in weird places, like on pipelines, guard railings, sharp rocks, edges of cliffs, whereever it's sunny.

3: and definitely the most annoying: biting the skin of my fingers under stress until I bleed. This happend every time I feel severly bored or anxious. Like in exams, my left thumb's in my mouth, my right hand writes down stuff...

Either I don't need stress or I'm constantly stressed because I bite the skin around my nails all the time until they bleed :/

I bit my fingernails for a long time and managed to get rid of this last year. But biting my skin luckily never happend to me. Can't remember right now if you have solved it already but yea 1+1 = 2 is an operation for me.

Biting my nails isn't that bad, they look cut (precision biting once a week lol)
Also solved, I just had the wrong thing in mind when I tried to solve it, now it popped into my head instantly while reading your post.

Just watch out for Sequences and maybe look at one of the answer I've given above. I'm pretty sure you have encountered it somewhere in your life.

My unhealthy behavior : I'm deaf if you understand what I mean ;)

I have lot of games but I still want more !

Some unhealthy behaviors:

  • Spending too much time on Steamgifts while at work =(
  • Driving too fast / aggressively. <-- I don't mean "angrily", but more like zipping in and out too much trying to get past the slowpokes.
  • Staying up too late. College days are long gone.

Ah, sorry. I atleast wanted to put the CV information in the opening text so people with level 1 or lower don't have to do the math. Sorry for the inconvenience. Will add information

I don't get 4 and 5, at all.

I do know the sequence as I was just playing the 'button' game.

Heh, the solution is connected to question 7. If you haven't encountered it so far it may be unusual. But you should read the hint for question number five. I'm not sure how much it will help someone who doesn't know the operation.

I don't sleep enough. I average ~5h sleep/night. And I make up for that by drinking copious amounts of tea...

Hey, then I'm still good with my 6-6.5 hours of sleep. Although I do not drink coffee or tea. Have to compensate by sheer willpower and I'm not sure how much longer my body will handle this. Technically I'm in a good shape so I should still have some time ^^

Took me a while to figure out 4, 5 and 7. It's been a while since I've done anything math related xD

Thanks!

Bump for solved! Nice little puzzle. Yay for math!
Some of my unhealthy behaviors are:
-Procrastination
-Not getting enough sleep
-Driving too fast
-Not eating as healthy as I should
There are plenty of them really. Good luck on your thesis by the way! I have a friend that's working on one at the moment (although it's an undergraduate thesis). Just out of curiosity, what discipline is it in?

My discipline is chemistry. A bit more specific it is Solid State Chemistry in the field of the Anorganic Chemistry if this tells you something.

I'm not too concerned about your "need" because you say it happens rarely, yet I acknowledge a problem and you do too.
I hope you'll find another way to recover your serenity.

My unhealthy behaviour is being here while I should be asleep...

P.s. Maybe the first puzzle I can solve without mistakes.

Yea, I know. Luckily it happens so rarely. I have a wound on my body reminding me to not do stupid stuff like this. And I feel I already got better to years before.

I'm currently finishing a math exercise sheet for tomorrow's computer science lecture.

I'd consider it unhealthy to do it at 2am.
