Mar 16 17:23:08 <mike> meow again again
Mar 16 17:27:24 <Draggy> slow down with the meowing there buddy
Mar 16 17:28:53 <mike> meow again again again :D
Mar 16 17:32:12 * Draggy spritzes mike in the face with a bottle of water.
Mar 16 17:32:18 <Draggy> I warned you.
Mar 16 17:32:25 * mike hisses and clobbers Draggy
Mar 16 17:32:53 * Draggy spritzes with water again, and tosses Mike into a box
Mar 16 17:32:58 <Draggy> Bad Mike!
Mar 16 17:33:03 <BahbGTR> Is the cat dead or alive?
Mar 16 17:33:07 <BahbGTR> It's both!
Mar 16 17:33:11 <Draggy> Dun dun dunnn
Mar 16 17:33:15 <mike> BahbGTR: this isn't schrodinger's cat or whatever it was
Mar 16 17:33:21 <BahbGTR> Or is it?
Mar 16 17:33:23 <Draggy> you could of landed on your neck
Mar 16 17:33:28 <Draggy> How did we know
Mar 16 17:34:05 <mike> i didn't
Mar 16 17:34:09 <mike> i'm still meowing :90
Mar 16 17:34:10 <mike> ...
Mar 16 17:34:11 <mike> :)
Mar 16 17:34:17 * mike claws his keyboard
Mar 16 17:35:00 <Draggy> I wouldn't do that if I were you
Mar 16 17:35:23 * mike escapes from the box and claws Draggy
Mar 16 17:35:34 <Draggy> What kind of box was it mike?
Mar 16 17:35:46 <mike> i don't care. i escaped :)
Mar 16 17:37:55 <mike> a cat box? :)
Mar 16 17:39:59 <mike> Draggy: the box type is irrelevant, you are now a shredded human
Mar 16 17:40:16 <Draggy> You can't escape from a box you know nothing about
Mar 16 17:40:39 <Draggy> Since you see the box itself was covered in a fast bonding liquid cement.
Mar 16 17:40:47 <Draggy> So you were trapped inside of the box from the get go.
Mar 16 17:42:34 * mike meows for his army of cats to shred the box open
Mar 16 17:44:32 <Draggy> Sure you wanna do that :)
Mar 16 17:44:42 * Draggy points out that you again know nothing of the area where the box is located
Mar 16 17:48:12 * mike teleports out of the box
Mar 16 17:53:17 <Draggy> :<
Mar 16 18:00:22 <mike> Draggy: just out of curiosity, where was the box locateD?
Mar 16 18:00:59 <Draggy> Top of a water pit on a tiny spire.
Mar 16 18:01:09 <Draggy> Just big enough for the box. Sides of the spire were sheer and slick
Mar 16 18:01:24 <mike> you're mean :(
Mar 16 18:01:34 <Draggy> I prefer to thing of myself as thourough
Mar 16 18:01:35 <mike> the cats had super kitty powers, they could fly
Mar 16 18:01:57 <Draggy> and sweet I so just saved x-chat....Lousy work report writing having me save after each line ot text I type.
Mar 16 18:02:16 <mike> ?
Mar 16 18:02:46 <mike> ah, you mean the mental disorder that makes you hit ctrl-s after every line you type no matter what app you're typing in? yeah, i get that too sometimes :P
Mar 16 18:03:21 <mike> Draggy: anyway, you can't think of yourself as thorough. you forgot to shield it from superkitties and teleportation
Mar 16 18:03:59 <Draggy> ya mike :P and meh I don't plan for situations which cannot arise :P
Mar 16 18:04:08 <mike> fine then, i'll keep trying
Mar 16 18:04:13 <mike> what is the spire made of?
Mar 16 18:04:20 <Draggy> Rock, but I'm working on something
Mar 16 18:04:28 <mike> ok, have fun
Mar 16 18:05:01 * mike wonders if it's possible to sink claws into rock
Mar 16 18:07:08 <door33> have you seen that poster hang on kitty?
Mar 16 18:07:17 <mike> no
Mar 16 18:07:33 <Draggy> Mike, it's sheer and slick :P
Mar 16 18:07:43 <mike> Draggy: how tall?
Mar 16 18:08:02 <Draggy> few feet up off the water, enough to keep the box safe.
Mar 16 18:08:18 <Draggy> approx 10 feet from each side though, water itself is 5 feet deep
Mar 16 18:08:19 <mike> ah, just a few feet? i was thinking like 200 feet :/
Mar 16 18:08:21 <Draggy> circular pattern
Mar 16 18:08:23 <door33> http://www.xstitchwithme.com/sunhangonkitty.jpg
Mar 16 18:08:26 <door33> thats you mike!
Mar 16 18:08:31 <mike> door33: not clicking
Mar 16 18:08:33 <Draggy> I can't throw you 200 feet :/
Mar 16 18:08:53 <mike> Draggy: yeah, realized that while thinking of ways to invalidate your conditions :)
Mar 16 18:09:05 <Draggy> brb
Mar 16 18:15:48 <mike> Draggy: i think i'll just keep meowing incessantly until you let me out :)
Mar 16 18:16:04 <mike> wait, is it a wooden box?
Mar 16 18:16:15 <Draggy> Steel actually
Mar 16 18:16:28 <Draggy> cements don't work to well on something easily broken
Mar 16 18:16:35 <mike> did you actually come up with a solution to this?
Mar 16 18:16:44 <Draggy> For a way of escaping?
Mar 16 18:16:46 <mike> nah, i was thinking of floating it to the edge of the water actually
Mar 16 18:16:47 <mike> yeah
Mar 16 18:16:52 <mike> don't tell me if you did
Mar 16 18:16:54 <mike> but did you?
Mar 16 18:16:56 <Draggy> Why would I want you to escape...
Mar 16 18:17:10 <mike> just wondering if you could solve the puzzle you made :)
Mar 16 18:17:19 <Draggy> Wait there is a solution
Mar 16 18:17:27 * Draggy just has a stroke of genius.
Mar 16 18:17:33 <Draggy> sadly you'll never figure it out :P
Mar 16 18:17:33 <mike> hmm
Mar 16 18:17:43 <mike> does it involve quantum physics? :P
Mar 16 18:17:47 <Draggy> Nope
Mar 16 18:17:52 <Draggy> Tremendously simple
Mar 16 18:17:56 <mike> i'll get it eventually then
Mar 16 18:18:13 <door33> Draggy, he opens the door
Mar 16 18:18:19 <Draggy> door, nope
Mar 16 18:18:36 * door33 gives mike a plasma cutter
Mar 16 18:18:37 <mike> door33: it's coated in cement, even if there was a door i couldn't get it open
Mar 16 18:18:58 <mike> yeah, because we all know cats know how to use plasma cutters
Mar 16 18:20:03 <door33> yes :)
Mar 16 18:20:04 <Draggy> overcomplicating the problem :P
Mar 16 18:20:08 <mike> figured so
Mar 16 18:20:15 <mike> does it involve using my claws?
Mar 16 18:20:21 <Draggy> Nope
Mar 16 18:20:56 <mike> is there any opening in the box?
Mar 16 18:21:18 <door33> if there is no air holes the cat would die all 9 times
Mar 16 18:21:49 <Draggy> There's an opening at the top where you were thrown in, but your stuck to the bottom.
Mar 16 18:22:20 <mike> why am i stuck?
Mar 16 18:22:48 * door33 gives up
Mar 16 18:23:21 <door33> Draggy, please let mike out of the box so we an play
Mar 16 18:23:28 <door33> can*
Mar 16 18:23:31 <Draggy> because of the liquid bonding cement...The box isn't covered in cement. Your trapped to the bottom via fast drying liquid cement :P
Mar 16 18:23:46 <Draggy> door33, not until he learns not to meow :P
Mar 16 18:23:59 <mike> door33: no, i want to figure this out :P
Mar 16 18:25:02 <mike> Draggy: is it dry yet?
Mar 16 18:25:12 <Draggy> yes
Mar 16 18:25:32 <mike> is it water soluble?
Mar 16 18:25:39 <Draggy> No
Mar 16 18:25:58 <mike> cat saliva soluble? :)
Mar 16 18:26:22 <Draggy> Makes it harder :P But no
Mar 16 18:27:03 <mike> does the solution involve supersonic meowing to loosen the cement :P
Mar 16 18:27:08 <mike> or shedding fur
Mar 16 18:27:17 <Draggy> No
Mar 16 18:27:25 <Draggy> horrendously simple
Mar 16 18:27:47 <mike> do i have to get out of the box, get to the edge of the water, or both?
Mar 16 18:28:32 <Draggy> Well I'd assume to escape the box you'd have to get out of the box.
Mar 16 18:28:47 <Draggy> Water could just be a red herring, or a method of stopping aid form reaching you
Mar 16 18:28:48 <mike> not necessarily... well, yeah
Mar 16 18:29:13 <door33> this can go on for years lol
Mar 16 18:29:15 <mike> can cats swim? never tried putting one in water :/
Mar 16 18:30:04 <Draggy> I'd imagine they can, but they wouldn't enjoy it
Mar 16 18:30:11 <mike> of course not
Mar 16 18:30:34 <mike> i give up :(
Mar 16 18:30:37 <mike> wait
Mar 16 18:30:38 <Draggy> Anyone know of a better word for Tricky?
Mar 16 18:30:40 <mike> can i have a hint?
Mar 16 18:30:56 <mike> depends on context
Mar 16 18:31:04 <Draggy> Something is tricky to do
Mar 16 18:31:09 <Draggy> Not hard, not difficult, but tricky
Mar 16 18:31:20 <Draggy> need a word to replace tricky since apparently I can't use it in my report
Mar 16 18:31:51 <mike> complex?
Mar 16 18:31:55 <Draggy> and mike, hint hrm....Can't really hint at it without giving it away.
Mar 16 18:32:05 <mike> complicated
Mar 16 18:32:08 <Draggy> tricky is a verb
Mar 16 18:32:16 <mike> problematic
Mar 16 18:32:17 <Draggy> it's not complicated though, it is tricky
Mar 16 18:32:20 <mike> tricky is not a verb
Mar 16 18:32:25 <mike> it's an adjective
Mar 16 18:32:31 <mike> you can't tricky something
Mar 16 18:32:34 <Draggy> sentence: it can be a bit tricky and confusing for a newcomer to
Mar 16 18:32:46 <mike> perplexing?
Mar 16 18:32:54 <Draggy> that shall do I think
Mar 16 18:33:19 <Draggy> still confused at why I can't use tricky...
Mar 16 18:33:24 <mike> http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/tricky -- have fun
Mar 16 18:33:53 <Draggy> naw I'm going with perplexing
Mar 16 18:34:15 <mike> i give up on the puzzle
Mar 16 18:35:15 <Draggy> Eh no answer for you then :P
Mar 16 18:35:25 <Draggy> Answer was more of a cop-out on my part anyhow
Mar 16 18:35:35 <mike> :(
Mar 16 18:35:39 <mike> you won't tell me? :(
Mar 16 18:35:49 <Draggy> You'll just get angry at me though :(
Mar 16 18:36:04 <mike> go ahead, the worst that can happen is that i hiss and clobber you again
Mar 16 18:36:06 <Draggy> Since the answer is simply: Don't meow in the first place, and avoid getting thrown into the box.
Mar 16 18:36:13 <mike> ..
Mar 16 18:36:18 <Draggy> Told you it was simple
Mar 16 18:36:20 * mike hisses at Draggy and clobbers him again
Mar 16 18:36:49 * Draggy throws mike back into box.
Mar 16 18:36:52 <Draggy> Some people just never learn/
Mar 16 18:38:55 <door33> where is the dino he hasnt been arounod
Mar 16 18:39:31 <mike> Draggy: the top of the box is open, correct?
Mar 16 18:39:37 * Draggy points to the box next to mikes
Mar 16 18:39:41 <Draggy> Yes.
Mar 16 18:39:50 <mike> and it's steel. how thick?
Mar 16 18:40:02 <Draggy> few centimeters
Mar 16 18:40:27 <mike> what's the volume of the steel?
Mar 16 18:40:41 <mike> bah, nm, i forgot how to do it
Mar 16 18:40:48 <Draggy> Are you trying to figure out if the box will float or not?
Mar 16 18:40:56 <mike> yeah
Mar 16 18:41:21 <mike> you'd have to know the weight of the steel, the cat, and how much air, and probably some more stuff
Mar 16 18:41:35 <Draggy> Weight of the box+cat
Mar 16 18:41:45 <Draggy> dimensions of the box
Mar 16 18:41:50 <Draggy> and the density of water
Mar 16 18:41:52 <mike> it's some kind of density thing
Mar 16 18:41:59 <mike> water is 1g/cm^3 iirc
Mar 16 18:42:35 <Draggy> eh, not going through the math since then I'd have to think about dimensions
Mar 16 18:42:53 <Draggy> but it's basically weight of the box vs weight of the water displaced by the box
Mar 16 18:43:10 <mike> and i forgot how to calculate both
Mar 16 18:43:27 <Draggy> weight of the box is weight of cat + weight of steel
Mar 16 18:43:30 <mike> well, i'll assume the box floats since it's full of air and a cat
Mar 16 18:43:41 * mike jumps around a bit to make the box fall into the water
Mar 16 18:43:41 <Draggy> weight of water displaced by box is Vsubmered*density(water)
Mar 16 18:43:48 <Draggy> You can't move
Mar 16 18:43:55 <mike> why not?
Mar 16 18:43:55 <Draggy> You can at most wiggle from side to side
Mar 16 18:43:59 <Draggy> Liquid epoxy
Mar 16 18:44:03 <mike> that should be enough to knock the box over
Mar 16 18:44:16 <Draggy> If the box is knocked over water floods in and cat dies.
Mar 16 18:44:28 <mike> well, get it to fall right-side-up into the water
Mar 16 18:44:32 <mike> so that the hole is on top
Mar 16 18:44:45 <Draggy> You've got a single chance at this, probability of it working is extremely small.
Mar 16 18:44:57 <mike> i have 9 lives
Mar 16 18:45:06 <Draggy> since by inching it towards the edge, eventually the weight would push it over and it would topple and bam, dead mike.
Mar 16 18:45:27 <Draggy> actually it'd be 0percent
Mar 16 18:45:31 <Draggy> er 0%
Mar 16 18:45:40 <mike> and then i get magically teleported back to where i was, and i get 8 more chances
Mar 16 18:45:51 <mike> it's theoretically possible, although you're right, it would be really hard
Mar 16 18:46:03 <Draggy> nope, fall isn't great enough for it to equalize
Mar 16 18:46:21 <Draggy> it's a small drop so when it tips over, it hits the water before it can equalize
Mar 16 18:46:33 <mike> it would slide
Mar 16 18:46:38 <Draggy> cliff is sheer
Mar 16 18:46:43 <Draggy> if it slides, it slides down
Mar 16 18:46:54 <mike> how tall was it again?
Mar 16 18:48:28 <Draggy> Spire is a couple of feet
Mar 16 18:48:41 <Draggy> box is eh, like a 2 feet at most.
Mar 16 18:49:05 <mike> a couple of feet == 2 feet?
Mar 16 18:49:21 <Draggy> assuming the cat is located in the dead centre, the box would get just over a foot over the edge before tipping over and falling in
Mar 16 18:50:47 <door33> doesnt the box give off a deadly gas?
Mar 16 18:51:02 <mike> uh, no
Mar 16 18:51:08 <Draggy> Only if I wanted to make a Shcrodinger's Mike
Mar 16 18:51:20 <mike> don't do that :)
Mar 16 18:51:59 <Draggy> If you don't give this up/solve it in ten minutes your getting put into a super state :P
Mar 16 18:52:45 <mike> i give up :P
Mar 16 18:54:44 <Draggy> good :P
Mar 16 18:55:16 * Draggy drops in a radioactive particle with a halflife of 10 minutes, and hooks it up so when the particle decays it releases gas.
Mar 16 18:55:28 * Draggy puts a lid on the box.
Mar 16 18:55:30 <Draggy> :)
