Remainder Math Problem

2012-08-06

What is the smallest positive integer that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 2, a remainder of 2 when divided by 3, a remainder of 3 when divided by 4, and following the same pattern up to leaving a remainder of 9 when divided by 10?

Simple Python Solution finder:

found = False
num = -1
while not found:
    num += 1
    found = True
    for i in range(2, 10):
        if not num % i == i - 1:
            found = False
print "Blah: " + str(num)

A true six word story

Went outside: red-hot; staying inside now.

I was just relaxing all cool inside my ground floor room, having just taken a shower, when my mom asked me to mow the lawn. Now I am trenched in sweat. This is ridiculous. But as I said, at least my room is extremely cool.

Create Fantasy RPG Maps using Pixelmator

2012-07-11

I’ve been using Pixelmator for the Mac since forever now. It’s an amazing piece of software that allows you to do quite a lot of image processing and creation for a very small price. Recently I’ve been experimenting with doing some RPG Maps and I thought I should put together a little process in case anybody is interested in how one can do such a thing in Pixelmator quite easily.

My maps don’t look amazing, but I think for the kind of effort involved they do look quite reasonable (The map in the video is created in < 20 minutes and I think if you invested another 20 it would be a perfectly fine map).

Here’s one of my first completed ones, where I tried out things:

And here is one I am currently using:

Perfect Ice Tea

For future reference: My Ice Tea recipe is for 2L of Ice Tea

  • 3 bags of Green Tea with Lemon Taste
  • 3 bags of Earl Grey
  • 1 bag of “Sweet Chili” tea
  • 1 bag of Fruit tea

Let it brew for about 20 minutes, then add sugar while the stuff is still hot. Quite a lot of it actually, maybe 170-200g or so. Refrigerate forever until it is finally cold.
