Its much more than that, as i dont think university is a particularly good way to learn most topics so i dont think people need to go if they are willing to learn on their own.
Its more about educating the population has a ROI well beyond the cost of educating them. A well educated society is better able to vote for good candidates and generate wealth which indirectly benefits everyone.

Extraordinary foresight on their part. I guess that's why they say they're wise.
@trinsec
Right it can be any 2 coins but you have no idea what coins were which in the roevious round since the table is spun
@trinsec
There is only a single set of 5 rounds. You can check and flip up to 2 coins each round.
Solution
@khird
Yup you got it.
@iankenway
Glad you enjoyed :)
@funny
@khird
That is a correct interpretation of the rules.
@lefarfadet
Here is a algorithms/riddle i just solved that was kind of fun. So heres the setup. You have a circular table that spins with four evenly spaces opaque boxes on it around the outside. In each box is a coin that is either heads or tails. You get a maximum of 5 rounds, between each round you are blindfolded and the table ia spun randomly. During each round you can pick a box to open, look, the pick a second box to open and look. You can then flip none, any, or all, of the coins with open boxes. Then the boxes are closed before the next round. If at any point all four coins are the same then you win the game.
You must come up with a strategy that **guarantees** in 5 rounds or less that all 4 coins will be the same.
Tommorow i will take a picture of the flow chart i came up with the answer. In the meantime please give hints, answer, or thoughts in the comments but be sure to CW them. I will reply tomorrow with a picture of the answer and CW that as well. Good luck!
PS for a slightly harder version all the same rules apply except you need to pick both boxes to open simultaneously rather than one after thr other. With this harder version it is still possible in 5 rounds or less.

Thats fair then.

@diresock sound, nothing. Have you seen how they *look* beneath their disguises?

I cant speak to the book but i am intimitly familiar with modeling of transmission lines. A transmission line is modeled as a series of inductors with capacitors across them. So there is both magnetic induction and electrostatic capacitance at play and both are equally significant.

@freemo @Science I recently read a book on transatlantic telegraph history. The actual history was more complicated than the popular story, but far more interesting.
1. The cable didn't fail immediately like a bad comedy after Whitehouse turned the voltage up the dial to eleven. Instead, it failed at some point in the middle of multiple experiments, in which both Lord Kelvin and Whitehouse's devices were used.
2. While it's true that Whitehouse's HV transmitter certainly accelerated the cable failure, but even without him, the cable would likely fail soon as well. Submarine cables at that time suffered multiple engineering and quality control problems, especially, the quality of the dielectric insulation. Other cables from the same era, like the Red Sea Cable, also failed quickly. In fact, Whitehouse likely just triggered an insulation defect, a defect-free cable should've survived that voltage. In this sense, Whitehouse was a scapegoat in the telegraphy industry.

As for if we agree that oppressor and oppressed needs to end. More or less yes. Which is exactly why in against communism, it forces those who accomplish the most to be oppressed by those who accomplish the least. What i am for is capitalism, where a persons contribution dictates their wealth, but with a system of free education and training to ensure everyone had equal opportunity yo be a contributor and reap the rewards that go with it.

@cosas
I use the accepted definition of capitalism, the one youll find in the dictionary. If you made up some other personal definition of capitalism then yes, no wonder you disagree.
@cosas
Which country do you feel eliminated poverty without costing everyone else a decent quality of living at the same time? Lets not talk in vaguries if you think there has been a successful implementation of socialism lets dig into it.
Any government, whether it be socialism/communism or capitalism, when based in ethics and compassion will usually get you better results than a government that does t care about the welfare of its people. So i am certainly ok with considering the ethical side when designing our political landscape, i would demand it.
