Talk:ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden

message: The list of collections is impressive, well wikified, but terrible to look at.  I suggest a list, especially as multiple items in the collection are taxonomically related (Buddleia, for example) and would make for a slightly more organized view of the plants in the collection.  l--ABQCat 08:02, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: These kinds of lists are always tough - a single-column list goes on for many screens, leaves lots of whitespace. Ideally if one had a number of photos of the specimens, it would be a good way to fill the otherwise-empty space. (A few curmudgeons whisper that maybe the list shouldn't be there in the first place, or cut down to specimens that are unique or notable, instead of including everything found in the average backyard.)

message: Once again, Wikipedia allows the "born to a Jewish family" tag to identify people born Jewish, when the religions of non-Jewish people are, by comparison, only very rarely mentioned.

Talk:Chuck-A-Rama

message: I'm Floodbud, and I have eaten at Chuck-a-rama a few times.  All times I found that the food, though possibly diluted a bit, was good and did not cause me stomach problems or food poisoning.  You must realize that quality is relative, and to say for any reason that the quality of a restaurant is sub-standard is a major insult.  I do not have any special connections to Chuck-a-rama but I believe that food quality is perceived rather than absolute.  Therefore, I propose a new statement, which I will put in the article:
The food is generally considered to be "not as good" as much more expensive restaurants, but meets health and quality standards, and by no means is lacking in taste.  Though some products (such as the soup and rice) seem to be diluted more than in other restaurants, this is made up for by the all-you-can-eat policy.
If you find a flaw in this statement, please let me know.  I am just chagrined that Wikipedia should contain an article stating any product to be low quality.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Floodbud (talk • contribs).

Talk:Scissors coup

message: Cambion, the example seems OK (although I must admit I forgot what exactly Scissors coup is). However, couldn't the declarer make the contract by simply ducking the first trick? If so, the example is not quite straightforward -- maybe the scissors coup tecnique is better than duck, as it copes with the possibility that E started with 8 hearts, but still it leaves something to be desired.

replies: text: I have noticed a lot of times that in a situation with the AQ in one hand and a singleton in the other, or similar situations, the ace is taken and the queen is played, on which the Scissors Coup is executed. That will fail, though, if the second player can and does cover with the king. So the king has to be in front of the AQ. Wouldn't you be able to simplify things by taking the finesse and then discarding the loser on the ace? If you lose the finesse, it wasn't makable anyway unless they failed to cover the queen (not likely. East will be thinking why South took the ace and then led the queen if he didn't have a singleton.) If you win, you just got an overtrick. Andrewb1 (talk) 23:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

text:  I don't really understand your point. Can you put it another way?Cambion (talk) 17:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Assume there's Kx in declarer's hand that he doesn't want attacked, and Ax against xx in another suit. West leads a small one from a Jxxx holding in the second suit, East plays the queen to show the king, and South wins the ace. Since West has the ace of the first suit as well, he doesn't want East to win the second club. And he can't duck because East is holding the trick. So in the remaining side suit, South has a singleton against AQxxx. South cashes the ace and leads the queen, hoping to be able to get rid of the other X such that East can't take the second round of clubs. But if East can cover with the king, there's no play for the contract since declarer must ruff instead of letting East hold the trick by discarding his singleton. So South might as well lead the small one to the queen, and hope for the finesse to work such that he can drop the loser on the ace.
East could fail to cover with the king, but why would he not cover when declarer has easily shown a singleton by playing the hearts from the top? Andrewb1 (talk) 21:50, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wikified 

message: One of the guys I occasionally have lunch with worked with Mitchell Feigenbaum at Los Alamos. What I was told was that Feigenbaum had noticed that the rising stream of smoke from a cigarette placed horizontally in an ashtray was smooth and continuous only to a very specific height before erupting into chaos and turbulently scattering and drifting. Like all good men of our nature are, out of curiosity he looked into it more, and found that the ratio of the diameter of the cigarette to the point of chaos was somewhere around 4.7, measuring where the smoke left the cigarette to where it became unstable. Or so the story I was told goes - - - 
Most commercially available cigarettes are 0.3 inches (0.76 cm) in diameter, so that would be 1.4 inches (3.56 cm) above the top of the cigarette. Practically speaking, measuring something as "nebulous" as smoke can't be done very accurately, and I've never tried lighting a cigarette to see what happens, since lighting a cigarette indoors, where there is no wind drift, to find out would result in much unpleasantness heaped upon me. I am not a mathematician, and never heard of Feigenbaum's number until my friend told me about it.
