That does it, I'm going to Dollar Tree tomorrow and picking up a whole case of these things

Check out the pair of cortices on that one.

hubba hubba.

OH! This is the "Pi Is Still Wrong" girl! OK, that makes her very awesome instead of just regular awesome which I was getting from this video.

i think she had a graph theory one as well

Snakes is not a verb!


Goofy Gorilla - 2011-05-17

Sucks. Misuse of "begging the question" as an introduction to a snake segment (yeah) where she introduces a problem and doesn't even attempt to provide a general solution. We don't even get an algorithm to generate arbitrary valid slithers!

Couple of stars for the other stuff.

I'm kind of relieved to see Vi Hart screw up, though.

I too like it when exceptionally smart people make mistakes.

A stab at the snake grammar... first let's see if angle brackets work >


pastorofmuppets - 2011-05-18

I was never great at these. I think some of the εs are redundant. This also doesn't include "straight" (S here means start).
S -> L | R | ε
L -> LM | l | ε
R -> RT | r | ε
M -> LR | R | ε
T -> RL | L | ε

Line one reads: "S yields L or R or ε". ε is the empty string.

Uppercase are variables, lowercase are terminals. Start with S, and replace it with either L or R (or ε, which is like erasing it). Keep doing those kinds of replacements until there are no variables left. The resulting lowercase string should be a valid slither.

As for an algorithm... if you have this kind of grammar then the algorithm has a boring general solution, and google can provide it :)

Cute

Awesome.


TeenerTot - 2011-05-17

I don't know why I liked this so much. It makes me want a bunch of snakes.

TO THE DOLLAR TREE!

Dammit, that was supposed to be a reply to Spiteful Crow.


Wonko the Sane - 2011-05-18

absolutely charming

Charmingly autistic.

Why couldn't this girl have gone to MY highschool?


Banal Intercourse - 2011-05-18

She did. You never talked to her. She was there the whole time.
