Talk:Overend, Gurney and Company

message: A reference to Trial by Jury has been added, but I think that there might be confusion between this article and another Gurney banking family (see Gurney's Bank), which is described in the book Friends and Relations by Verily Anderson ().  If the two Gurney banking families are one in the same, several cross-references should be added among the various articles, but I am guessing that Gilbert was referring to the Gurney's Bank Gurneys in Trial by Jury, since Overend, Gurney and Company went out of business 10 years before Trial by Jury.

message: £11m in 1866, CDKO inflation index = 9.5
In the last year of the CDKO inflation index, 2003, it was 715.2, therefore the equivilent 2003 value was 715.2 / 9.5 * £11m = £828m. The value of the current equivilent index, the Retail Prices Index (RPI) was 181.3.
In 2008 the RPI index was 214.8, therefore the equivalent 2008 value was 214.8 / 181.3 * £828m = £981m

Talk:Delhi Herald Extraordinary

message: From the William Peyton talk page:
I seem to recall an article from a Coat of Arms last year by Peter O'Donoghue that dealt with the Delhi Herald. It might have had a picture of Peyton in tabard which should be in the public domain. I'll check that after work today. If anyone else gets that magazine, they might also check in case I can't find mine.--Eva bd 13:24, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

It also had a photo of Osmond Barnes, who served as the Chief Herald (without the title of Delhi Herald) for the 1876 Imperial Assemblage. This should definitely be PD.

thread_title:  What about worms and the new worms 4 mayhem? you can destroy the enviroment too in this game 

message: I added Ghen War to the article. It is a game from 1995, released for the Sega Saturn (there's already a very short - and bad - article about it on wikipedia). It is a really obscure game, so its innovations were, aparently, forgotten: it is probably the first fps with really deformable terrain (you can create craters, level mountains etc. if you have enough missiles). Sadly, there are very few articles/videos about it (I could find only one gameplay video on youtube, and the video doesn't show the terrain deformation feature).
Another game that should be added later is Starfighter 3000. It's from 1994, so quite possibly one of the 3d games pioneer in destructible environment (the entire terrain is deformable, like in Ghen War).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.71.111.143 (talk) 23:18, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Rime riche

message: --CopyToWiktionaryBot (talk) 17:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  2008-01-23 Automated pywikipediabot message 

message: A "rime riche is a form of rhyme with identical sounds, if different spellings." So far so good. Then "in French poetry, rhymes are sometimes classified [...] according to the number of rhyming sounds in the two words [...]. For example to rhyme "parla" with "sauta" would be a poor rhyme [...], to rhyme "cheval" with "fatal" a sufficient rhyme, and "grise" with "brise" a rich rhyme."
Hold on: each of these examples (parla/sauta, cheval/fatal, grise/brise) rhymes exactly one sound. (What is a "sound"?) What makes cheval/fatal better than parla/sauta? Is it the final consonant? And what about grise/brise? That doesn't meet the definition of "identical sounds" since the words start differently.
Then we have "a good French example" where the rhyme is éléphants/enfants. How is this a rime riche? These words do not have identical sounds. And does the '-nts' ending count as a consonant even though it's effectively only pronounced as part of the vowel?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.72.227.14 (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Lucas–Lehmer–Riesel test

message: 'The main theoretical fact is contained in the Theorem 5 (Lucas'Criteria for h*2^n-1) : Suppose that n=2, h is odd
A =( (a+b*sqrt(D))^2)/r, Jacobi(D,N) = -1, and Jacobi(r,N)*sign(a^2-b^2*D) = -1.
Then, a necessary and sufficient condition that N shall be prime is that u(n-2) == 0 (mod. N) 
if u(n) = u^2(n-1) - 2 with u(0) = A^h + A^-h. How to use that ?
The number u(0) can be computed using a well known recursion formula:
v(0) = 2, v(1) = A+A^-1, v(k) = v(1)*v(k-1) - v(k-2).
So, we obtain u(0) = v(h). The remaining problem is to found a value for v(1) .
The numbers A and A^-1 are units of the quadratic field K(sqrt(D))(that is to say units of the ring of the integers of this
field...). So, they are powers of the fundamental unit of the field. Instead of choosing a square free integer D and
searching for units satisfying the conditions of theorem 5, Riesel takes increasing values for v(1), and, remarking that A
and A^-1 are the roots of the equation : 
A^2 - v(1)*A + 1 = 0 computes D as the square free part of v^2(1) - 4.
It remains to verify that the resulting D, a, b and r values satisfy the conditions of theorem 5. 
The value of v(1) so found is the smallest possible.

thread_title:  The Lead 

message: "The name 'phenanthrene' is a composite of phenyl and anthracene." Well, "phenyl" is already a composite of phen(e) + yl. Phene is an old name for an aromatic hydrocarbon, especially benzene, used by A. Laurent while V. Meyer used benzene; yl is just a standard suffix for hydrocarbon group or residue, but phenanthrene is not a residue. Some derivatives are named after phene as if it meant benzene: phen(e)yl (C6H5), phen(e)ol (C6H5OH), phen(e)oxide (C6H5O-). Thiophene was, initially, hard to be distinguished from benzene; when recognized to contain sulfur it was named accordingly but using phene (and then also selenophene, tellurophene), instead of benzene.

Talk:Crazy Machines

message: The game is to my knowledge the only way to play the hugely successful and influential game The Incredible Machine (TIM) on todays (WindowsXP and later) PCs. While the implementation differs from TIM, it is largely structured in the same way including:
* gameplay centered around the laboratory of a "crazy professor"
* non-random numbers used in the physics simulation similar to the TIM series
* parametrized physics simulation (i.e. gravity) which was a hallmark of the TIM series
Thus 'Crazy Machines' is the de-facto gold standard for "Rube Goldberg" style puzzle games today.
Furthermore, the current release 'Crazy Machines II' is now available with several noteworthy features: 
* uses physics acceleration (AGEIA)
* deformable objects
* 3D graphics
which are an evolution of the TIM-style engine. 
Many game reviews can be found on this series, including their use in an educational context.
The game is popular in Germany (due to a focus if the marketing efforts by the German distributor there).
 I don't have the energy or clout to rewrite the article. Hopefully this comment will save it.
