Parts of the test should change!!

[Anonymous]

Ummm yeha what I think is that every month there should be something new in the test like keep one part of it or two or so and then just replace the rest that way the people that are already in th F.A They really can't help there friends.
But yeah this Clan Rock'z....

it is a good idea, but i think it should be done bi-monthly cause then anyone in the middle of a test does not have to start all over again.

I agree.

By the way Arcanix, I like your avatar but its pretty big.  Maybe you can use it as you signature instead ?

It just pushes back all the text to the right.

It has undergone many changes, and mainly because of all of the reasons that you put forward, such as answers being given out and such. The result of the test at the moment is that it is so elite that if you get through then you will want to join the clan, so I think it is fine as it is.

Hey.

Put this as your avatar Arcanix:

Yeah, I voted for the bi-monthly idea.  That way no one is scrambling to have the new test ready, but it's a short enough time to keep all the potentials on their toes.

Sounds like a good idea to me

I think it's a good idea, but I would hate being the person in the middle of figuring something out and then have it change on me...  Personally (call me slow if you want) but it took me months to get through the test... Not one or two... I'm not going to say how long, but a long time... I would have been pretty T'd off if it had changed on me mid way through.  If it could be done in a way to lesson that sort of impact that would be good

well the test has been changing little at a time ... subtle things ... like the node numbers are different ... i think tbone and the web crew got it covered

[Anonymous]

Yeah, the concepts can stay the same, but the individual numbers can change. Sort of like  a test is updated with the same type of problems, but different answers every year.

[Anonymous]

I agree with 2 months, because some people will take longer then others - and I don't think EVERYTHING should change to prevent it getting too hard/running out of ideas XD, maybe change parts at a time.

[Anonymous]

It should change as needed.  Change for the *sake* of change, is pointless.

Did Schroedinger get a new cat every 2 months?  Well, both  yes and no I suppose...but...

No, you shouldnt give it out....to anybody.

If you come up with new elements, fwd it on to the powers that be, let them decide. The folks who have to
maintain it, I think, outta have the biggest say in this.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Mirmir, you win the BEST SCHROEDINGER'S CAT REFERENCE EVER award. That's classic. it's going in my sig.

I think Schroedinger got a new cat daily, seeing as they all suffocated in the damn box.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry to be such an ignorant but who the heck is Schroedinger ?

[Anonymous]

Didn't you ever watch "Peanuts"?  Hes the kid on the Piano, with the Beethoven statue.  

j/k.    

Oh, and thanks....love working in a good obscure reference where I can.  Check out Thinkgeek, they have a cool new T-shirt about the cat.  

From this link:

"Paradoxes like this lead some researchers to suggest that every possible path of "execution" does happen, but we only observe one of the paths and are isolated from the others. Thus, there may be parallel universes where nerds get dates."

aka  The  Everett many-worlds interpretation..............

See this link: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Schroedingers%20cat

Nifty link, didn't know about the practical applications.   Isn't Math cool?


It's like "If a tree fell in the woods...." but on steroids.

The first time I heard this, it was a slightly different example.  Something along the lines of a cat, locked in a room...no food, no water.. with a window which is cracked juuuuuust a little, and which the cat  COULD get through, if it pawed at it just a little.....

I mean........how extremely GERMAN is this problem?  A decaying isotope, poison gas, kitten-hatred ( I thought the Viking Kittens were kinda cool, not like those Quiznos Monkeys!)....sheesh...not only philosophic, but....scientific and gothic alllllllllllllllllll wrapped into one.

It scares me having that 100% Germanic heritage, but, at least I know where it comes from when I have those moments.
