A cool website I've found.

It might take a while to load.
I didn't like that flash thing so much. This is a lot better:
Morgan Freeman's tour of the universe

Then if you would like to go at your own pace and be the cameraman yourself in 3D, take a look at Space Engine.
Space Engine - The Size of the Universe
Awesome! Thanks for sharing with us.

Good stuff.


RE: Time? - BAndrew - 09-29-2012

I am creating a riddle. Smile I will post it when it's done.

Here it goes...

If 0 < x <= 26 find the word that the following polynomial is encoding

x^4 - 46x^3 +740x^2 -4898x + 11115



In case you are confused try the help below. It's not the solution but it might give you the right inspiration:

x^2 * x^2 = x^4

OK a bit of help:

I said x is greater than 0 and smaller or equal to 26. The most simple (although not the best solution) is to see which from the numbers 1 to 26 are the solutions of the polynomial and then try to decode.

Come on it's not that hard Wink


RE: Time? - Robby - 09-29-2012

FFFUUU. I know maths, but not that much!

(won't calculate, about to do a livestream. Link in profile)


RE: Time? - BAndrew - 09-29-2012

This is math from junior high school but anyway if you have difficulties let me know. I will pm you the solutions of the polynomial, but not the word. You will have to decode it yourselves Smile

Calculations make my head hurt.
