@edwardleetwtr @ask_ourself @yashkaf @TaterTotient The endpoints aren't as important. It only works for fractions where the numerator is one less than the denominator.

@ask_ourself @yashkaf @TaterTotient Well, you do have to be a little careful about endpoints, since the proof requires two of them. E.g. you can go from 0% (0/2) to 66% (4/6) without crossing 25%, though you do cross 50%. The exact values in the OP prevent this. Still a very clever problem (I missed it as well).

A basketball player has a season free throw average of 70% halfway through the season, and raises it to 80% by the end of the season. Is it necessarily true that it was exactly 75% at some point? Why or why not?

@RamsesThePigeon Slightly vertically misplaced comma, but: Go'd rest ye merry gentlemen. You boisterous folks would find tranquility in a game of Go.

I couldn't figure out where the comma(s) in "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" should go, so I hit myself in the face.

@ryanqnorth @tvaneerd @John71193784 1. You promised tweets, not a tweet. 2. You said "Jughead is". That makes it a present Jughead tweet, not a future Jughead tweet.

@ccanonne_ @xkcd Unmumbling: Else we know that after one step two numbers are at most X_2/3 and the third is at most X_1. So after another step all numbers are at most X_8/9.

@ccanonne_ @xkcd Let the numbers be (L,M,U) in increasing order. U-L shrinks by 1/9 every two steps: Let X_c=(1-c)L + cU for c in [0,1]. Use AM>=GM to see that two numbers in the next step are at most X_2/3. If M<X_8/9, enough shrinking happens. Else *mumbles*. ▫

@ryanqnorth Hey, I'm a huge fan of squirrel girl, but I think the latest issue has exponential written instead of quadratic. It's bugging me, is anything going to be done about it? Thanks in advance.

[Conclusion] because [list of reasons] is almost a type error.

@ClickerHeroes If you're going to jump from some finite number to infinity, why not just do that at 1 and save us from your insincere game?

Show us the actual board! We like your voices anyway. #CarlsenAnand

@tifr_ultimate do I get a reduced sentence if I plead guilty?

@tifr_ultimate keep it together man, you're losing it.

@tifr_ultimate a typical day

@Better_History Ok, got the new UI. :P Liked the earlier one better though

@Better_History Please remove the feature where your last search shows up when you open Better History. Other than that, it's awesome! :)
