@Bob: -> Well he said he does C++. As he seems quite knowledgable he prolly knows some more languages.

Gah, I won't do this till the end, but here is the stuff that I have now: a^2 + b^2 = 0 (1) c^2 - a = 3 <=> a = c^2 / 3 (2) 4*(c^2) - 3b = 16i <=> b = ( 4c^2 - 16i ) / 3 (3) (1) ^ (2) ^ (3) => ( c^2 / 3 )^2 + ( (4c^2 - 16i ) / 3 ) ^2 = 0 <=> c^4 / 9 + ( 16c^4 - 128c^2 i^2 + 256i^2 ) / 9 = 0 <=> 17c^4 + 128c^2 - 256 = 0 <=> c^4 + 128/17 c^2 - 256/17 = 0 <=> (c^2 + 64/17)^2 - 8448/17^2 = 0 <=> (c^2 + 64/17)^2 = 8448/17^2 Now do sqrt(), then find out what c is. Put the value that you get for c into (2) and (3) and you get a and b. Not enough time to complete, sorry.

Nice one. Too bad I read the solution before I got my hand at finding the solution. Maybe you ask a similar question, Klaas ?

Almost at 5000.

Happy Birthday from me, too.

Wohoo..just the camp I am in, too. It's great to find people that are in the same camp. As most seem to be in the other one.

AH yeah complex numbers. SHould have said that, Bob. I will try my hand this afternoon, gotta go to school now.

Gah Randy, you are a posting machine.

To study what, Amy ?

Welcome Attila. :P Huns were always my favourite civ in AoC. Really loved them.

Yeah I think that really depends on the coder himself. By the way are you from the public void someFunction( int someParameter ) { } or the public void someFunction( int someParameter ) { } camp ?

Yeah, he really was a DGDN Member...nearly at the same time as Sypher was a member. Always mixed them two up. Syphen, Sypher..all named the same. "Aubrey" is easier to remember.

Ah yeah, Aubrey.

LOL Good luck everybody finding the solution. :P

Having the runs == expelling matter from your lower end == German: Durchfall, Dünnpfiff, Dünnschiss, Dünnkacke, Dünnmachen

Well if it hadn't been for me having the runs... I would be well over 5000 me thinks.

British English my friend. There is AE (American English) and BE.

Wohoo..just another Matt. Must be the 5th here on the forums. Oh really ? Well I would like to talk to you about some details then of what tehy say as I am currently reading a book written by them. WHat is one thing that they say that you don't agree with that hops to your mind immeditaly ? Oh by the way, where are you from, Matt ?

Hey Syphen. Aren't you the Syphen that once was in DGDN ? I think I know you from there, because I was once Co-Head of it and a long-time member. What is your first real name ? Welcome.

Sturgeon, you named Mike ?

Hey Calefaction. What is your real first name ? By the way, have you ever looked at http://pragmaticprogrammer.com ? I can only recommend their books. They have some good one about the really important stuff of software development. Like design, when to implement assertions, orthoganility, coding tips, etc. I am reading a book every 3 months and the next one will be a C++ one. Gotta revise some C++, maybe you have some good recommendations for me ?

In BE holidays actually is the same as vacation. But notice the plural form. The singular form, holiday, is what Randy said, day freed for you by the government or similar institution.

Incredible Randy.

Wow, nice story Curu. You really work your butt of for others.

LOL, no of course not. I wonder though wo voted for that one.
