yes, each mathematician guesses incorrectly as often as they guess correctly. but that is not the same as saying that there is a 50% chance the group "wins" on any given round. remember with the possibility of passing the number of guesses

Its the best I've found. Another way of thinking about the visualization is to make a model of the surface that can fold up to form it. The shortest path (which will be a diagonal if not a straight line) on any of those is the answer.

No, it does not. And while someone suggested that it could drop to the floor without injury, you could consider it to be afraid to do so :)

Quite interesting to me how the HN demographic has changed. Oracle usage is up dramatically from a year ago, and I don't think it's because Oracle has grown :)

Thanks. Didn't expect as much interest as I got - would definitely have worked longer on the post if I thought thousands of people would have read it :) My view is not that relational is bad, but that the world needs an alternative.
