Good idea. It's not exactly the same though, because in the realm of mathematics and hard sciences the pudding is in the proof, so to speak. If there's no proof, it's no meal at all. I read one CS professor's quote saying something along the lines of "if this was in physics it would be a natural law at this point," because of the evidence that supports P =/= NP. But until there's a proof, it could just be that no one has found a clever enough solution, or that our math isn't advanced enough.
well his argument is that it may be impossible to find out the possibility of the queens challenge, which doesn't have anything to do with probability unless i'm missing something
"If analysis of the traffic count indicates that there is more traffic than the current road as it is designed at this time can efficiently accommodate, the transportation planner might recommend widening the road to add another lane."
I'm supposed to change "the current road as it is designed at this time" to something, I tried to select no change but it instead said that "current design of the road" is a better choice.
They both seem right to me though so why am I wrong??? Someone help???

It's like you guys are accusing me of not knowing Mandarin because I said it is spoken in China.
You're right, I don't know Mandarin, I know a fact about it.
tartosis negged my post and didn't explain why i was wrong what a jerk

That's a cool philosophy discussion but really all you need to understand the difference between possibility and probability is the will to
Clearly that will is lacking, because instead of responding to my point, they've instead decided to purport that I've made some claim about CS, a discipline I don't understand.

well you clearly lack reading comprehension as well as writing comprehension skills anthony, kys you dont have a future
hmmm i'm not sure if that's necessarily true but i think that's a fair point. my philosophy teacher taught us this and i think it's relative to the topic at hand but i could be completely wrong in saying this so take it with a grain of salt: we questioned whether or not there were mountains on the moon. we had no way of knowing for sure, but the question was still possible to answer given the nature of it, whether or not we can FIND a way to prove it is a different argument all together, but that still by definition means that it's possible to find a solution to figuring out if there's mountains on the moon. hope that makes sense and is relevant

I think our work here is done.
Anyone want to try to help me study for the SATs? I'm trying to get into Cal Poly and I'm trying to get up to 1300.
So funny that you feel the need to talk about the SATs, a high school test, because you are insecure about the perception of your intelligence on the epicmafia.com forums
I say yes, it is possible. Just highly improbable, because it may be impossible.
Do you get it now?

I had to be the one to tell you that it could be won by proving it impossible. You didn't even know.
lmao
You're a college dropout.
Is it really possible for you to be the winner? Let us delve deeper into the definition of the word possible.

million dollar challenge: has to be possible because the million dollar question is to prove whether or not the queens problem is possible. either a. prove it is possible or b. prove it is impossible. which means by definition this challenge has to be possible because the solution exists.
Except it may be impossible to prove. But the thought of typing that sentence one more time raises the hairs on my skin so if you don't buy it, that's alright lol.
WOAH SO THEN BY DEFINITION IT WOULD BE IMPROBABLE, NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
Nice dude, I can tell you did really well in fifth grade English.
