Hello and welcome one and all to the dual math event between bluelightning42 and ylil. Ended

In special maths spirits there is 31 total GA's hidden in this thread. (a prime number :P)
If any of the following are too hard blame ylil. (she's the sadistic one of the two of us) apologies in advance if your favorite genre of math is under-represented.

If we planned better this better we would correlate the GA's with some math related holiday like PI day but as it is they all end on the 30th at Midnight GMT.

There was also GA's hidden in the ITH's decode using xlate gives I6dOM
simultaneous equations A < L < G < T < E
for Geometry 2 the rounded integer values gives a = 73, b = 54, c = 100, d = 79, e = 77

9/10 from Knowledge.
Any hints for Q6? :)
edit: nevermind...plural works
Thanks for the event!
Easy, "Easy" and Knowledge done. I maybe continue if it's not gonna be too hard to solve.

Do you have a format hint for Q1? I couldn't get my answer right at all.

Well, it's obvious which one you are refrring to. The problem is that I can't get any of my answer to pass. Will add you on Steam to talk.

I was stuck as well, for soo long. It's simpler than you might think, just add "s" at the end of the most obvious answer

Bump for giving up at Calculus. Despite I see examples, for three whole days I can't understand how did you write functions for both Q1 and Q2. Order, spacing, multiplication(* or nothing), powers(^) or roots(sqrt), fractions(1/2 or 0.5 or 0,5) - I tried dozens of variants. My y(5) is correct, though.

if you have y(5), just plug the number in (nothing else) and you should be good to go.

I've already done it (that's why I'm sure it is correct). Yet I'm still trying to find the acceptable formula for Q1 hoping that it will help me to guess how should I write the answer to Q2. May I skip spaces and so on.

Update: Hmmm... I beleive that was the first variant of answer to Q2 and I have tried it several times... And now it is accepted! So I finally passed the True math™ exam.

There are a lot of options for how to write q2. Just make sure to follow the included hinted format
F(x,y)=c and you should be good to go.

I'm currently stuck at Knowledge Q8. Paul Erdös said a lot of stuff, but I didn't find any quotes related to retired mathematicians. Any hints?

I've now solved every single question except logic q1, where I have tried every answer I can think of... Some help/hints pweaaase? (On the format of the answer, I'm pretty confident I know the actual answer)

You need a word (or two?) to describe the answer. Did you forget something in the middle?

Thanks a lot (I found Q4 with the hint and I was able to guess Q3)
hope your answer can help if someone has the same issue
Thank you for the puzzles :3

what does the dots say in q3 for logic?
red = right color, rose=right place, blue nothing?

Blue = Correct number @ correct position
Pink = Correct number, but wrong position
Red = Wrong number.

Check out Mastermind board game on Wikipedia.

thanks for this
I know the game, but that has totally different colors

Except its not consistent, because two of the locks have a number in the same position, but both say different things.

Like Mastermind, it only tells you the number of correct digits with correct position The positions of the dots don't correspond with the digits

Oh, now it makes sense.
Ok, that one was pretty easy once you understand the rule.

Solved the first > went to second > remember I was always interested in more advanced math but also hated it > went with hate > told myself it's ok to not get to the other giveaways so the rest of you have more chances > feeling less guilty now!

Ty for the puzzles and the giveaways!

P.S. I would do a few of the rest but these months are too busy for my mind already.

I don't understand, what is a property? Is that just negative and positive?
Also, q2 of the logic section is oddly worded.
