@Surasanji @freemo That seems like a hateful job. I don't think I could do that one.

@freemo Anyway, I was hoping that you could post the puzzle/solution since I would like to further expand that as a conversation. WHen I shared the puzzle with a colleague he was reminded of a similar one with prisoners and their respective numbers. However, they were not given a swap. The idea being if each could choose his own number in the requisite tries he would not be executed. However, they would all have to succeed for it to work. The query in that case is what are the chances? So assuming there were no PC's longer than the requisite chances they would all go free. However, other than the brute force method of calculating and counting the PC's I am not certain of a formula for determining the distribution and size of them in a given group size. Seemed an interesting journey.

@freemo Seriously, my issue is more scrolling past the topic titles rather than looking in the actual text of what is posted. It might be written to the level of a 4th grader, but if I don't open it and look I will never know. And that is on me. But others may think similarly.

@freemo You have probably done so, but it still doesn't come across as conversational. I should probably just open and read one, and actually make a decision that way. But you know, books, covers and all that. :)

@pea @ivesen shoot, I was thinking I was just looking at shell script

@ivesen I mean is it part of your prompt, or is it a program name/command ... or perhaps just a pet :)

@freemo But they all sound like thesis and dissertation titles :) I am intimidated to even open one of them for discussion :)

@freemo I keep looking at the existing topics and hear myself saying "Alex, I'll take stuff I know kcuf-all about for $200" :) So I figured I would recognize it when it showed up. :D

@freemo So the next thing was the discourse topic. I was waiting for you to post the puzzle/solution and was going to add this to that discussion.

@freemo okay, not the little thingie is spinning :) You wouldn't think it would take any time at all, but I assume it has to undo all the double pushing that I did :)

@freemo Don't see a "Repository" under settings anywhere :(

@freemo I don't see where the setting is. I just cloned it over there. I had to get a token from github and all that. But I just don't see where I could pull or anything else.

@Jennifer_Lee @freemo @Surasanji @JessSweetValleyHigh@spinster.xyz @alex

I have asked once politely to be removed from this reply chain. This is the second request. I have added some white space to the top of the message in case the first was perhaps missed.

Please remove me from the list in the contact chain for this thread.

@JessSweetValleyHigh@spinster.xyz @freemo @Jennifer_Lee @Surasanji @alex Pardon me, may I please be removed from the contact chain on this particular thread? It seems rather specific and I don't feel I have anything to offer to the conversation.

@freemo awesome. I figured I must have done something wrong.

@freemo So on another topic. I got that python checked into my personal github and I also put it in the qoto gitlab as well. I have found no way other than manually to synch them up when I have made a change. Though I think I am done making changes. Did you want to put this somewhere? I think we were discussion starting a discourse topic on the puzzle itself.

@freemo yeah, I get it. It just looks like a huge tmux session on my buddy's screen and if I wanted that I would simply do that :)
