A question for Jeff or anyone who knows.

[Qilue]

You people must be really bored.

But have we not answered your question?

Can this be the great "No Roads" Mead?

Mead hasn't filled in his profile details, so how can we have any fun comparing him to Jeff?

[Mead]

No, it's not me.

I am getting on-line somewhat less nowadays, but check in from time to time.

I'm not sure who it is.

PS

If you manage to read through all of the pages of that thread you'll find that my test of playing a Trans SP game without making any roads except on mines indicated that playing without making roads was painful.


I managed to win the game, but it would have been a lot easier (and faster) if I made roads.

Isn't that one of the reasons we play this game?
To test ourselves, and our theories?
And have fun.

Actually, I worked out the answer on my own 4 years ago.

I reasoned that the denominator defined by a forumla something like this -> 1/2^x where x was betwee 0 - 15 inclusive (0 - F). This would give a possible range of 1 to 32768 for the denominator.

Of course, it could be as simple as 1/x where x is a range of 1 - 16.

A thank-you goes to Reznod for answering.

Well I could have let you know Skanky, if you had been around back then.

However, having received no response, I didn't really feel such a confirmation was needed.

yeah think of all the lurkers who were dying to know the answer, but spent the past 4 years not knowing.

My only hope is these lurkers are still around today to finally find out the answer.
