Invalid Bid. Multiples of pi required. I also have no clue what you did here.

Minimum increments: Any multiple of π (pi) rounded to the nearest whole number. You must use at least 3 significant digits for this calculation, but can use more if you desire. (e.g. 3.14 or 3.1415 may be used, but not 3). You round after you find the multiple of pi you wish to raise the bidding by.

This means that the amount you increase the bid by must be a multiple of pi.

84.

That's the product of the uncertainty of the location and momentum of a particle (calculated by diving Planck's constant by 4 * pi) times the length of a Minecraft plank in the default texture (16 pixels) to the nearest integer after dropping the negative exponential scaling. (For accuracy you'd have to multiple the above bid by 10^-34 px*((m^2* kg)/s) but I doubt you take bids payable in .00000001ths of a yoctopixelJoulesecond)

You never said we couldn't use quantum mechanics in our multiples.

I'm not sure about your logic here. How did your division of plancks constant by 4pi yield the product of uncertainty and momentum? Also, if you multiply the result by 10^-34, you get 8.4e-68. You are probably intending to either multiply by 10^34, or divide by 10^-34, to yield 8.4.

You should also check your unit analysis. It is not .00000001ths of a yoctopixelJoulesecond, it is .0000000001ths of a yoctopixeljoulesecond. Your units were in the 10^-32 range, not the 10^-34 range.

I'm not entirely clear on how yoctopixeljouleseconds are equivalent to credits, but I'll have to take your word on that.

I'll let your bid stand as valid, because it at least resembles the spirit of the auction.

Current highest valid bid is 84 credits.

84+2(3.14)=90.28

90 credits

[ghastly18]

90+10(3.14)=121

[Roobean]

90+10(3.14)=121

12 + 11(3.14) = 156rc

I repeat, you said minimum, which means that we can bid anything greater than or equal to a multiple of pi+the previous greatest bid. If you wanted it to be specific, you shouldn't have said "minimum increments", you should have just said "increments". According to your original post, my 88rc bid still stands (although it doesn't matter, because greater bids have been made). Anyone got a counter-argument for me?

Oh, and 121+(3.14*3)=130.42, so 130.

~dlgn

p.s. You didn't find my first post funny? Why? Or did it just not make you laugh hysterically?

[ghastly18]

90+10(3.14)=121

12 + 11(3.14) = 156rc

156+12(3.14)=193.68

[dlgn]

90+10(3.14)=121

12 + 11(3.14) = 156rc

156+12(3.14)=193.68

Ahem. What about my bid?

EDIT: I'm stupid, sorry.

[eah]

156+12(3.14)=193.68

Almost there. Just round it to a whole number (Hint: 194).

I increment by 150 times this:

I also increment by 150 times ln(-1)/sqrt(-1)





round(156 + 150*3.14) = 627

In the interest of making the auction more...interesting, I shall bid in days that Kerovon gets to determine my forum avatar. Yes, I AM completely ignoring/going around the rest of the bids. They're not particularly amusing, and they're in a different "currency".

3 + (10 * 3.14) = 34.4 days.

Avatar must not violate rules of the forums. Avatar to be changed no more than twice per day, at bidder's convenience. Avatar may be provided either as a link, or sent directly to me. Images sent directly to me must be of a reasonable size, by my definition. If an image needs to be edited, or a portion of an image is to be the avatar, I will perform any necessary editing. Do not try this at home. It is a terribad idea, and I should really know better. For teh lulz.
