Their political system is fundamentally different from the one in the US, because it allows smaller parties to flourish. Fringe parties with say less than 10% of the vote actually get some representation, unlike in the US where the best they can do is screw one of the two parties.
Haha, someone has to mention that game in this topic. I beat the game on normal (taking me like 70 hours, because I didn't want to lose any characters) and then I tried hard. God, was it difficult. I gave up in frustration.
Are you kidding me? There are tonnes of people who still play the games that Miyamoto created 10 or more years ago. There is a reason why Ocarina of Time tops many best of video game lists long after it was released. Hell, this is one of the reason why the Wii's VC is successful.
By the way, what you say about Nintendo video games from the past, I can say about Disney creations. I find most of them boring and unwatchable. However, I am not under the delusion that there arent many people who do watch them, and enjoy them.
Yes, the task should be (for the people not on the twister mat): Calculate the 1st homotopy group (with a fixed base point on the mat) of the object formed by the mat and the players after each turn. (mind you, as I am not a topologist, this sounds quite difficult for me...)
As there was a large number of math majors in our group of friends, we used to play Math Twister. A friend of mine came up with the idea for my birthday. What you do is, take a normal Twister mat, and number it from 1 to 24. Number it such that consecutive numbers have different colors.
Then instead of using a wheel to call the colors, someone makes the calls by making statements like:
"Left hand on a number that is prime and greater than 15" or "Right foot on a blue circle that is odd" etc.
This game can be much harder than regular Twister, depending on how it is called.. but it gets "messy" quick.
"... and no sane person is even suggesting that math should be dumbed down."
And yet, we see math being dumbed down in almost all school districts in North America. And hence, your premise fails in our flawed school systems.
Try thinking of the monty hall problem with 1000 doors. Your initial pick of 1 door has 1/1000 of being correct. Monty then opens 998 of the other 999 doors to show that the prize is not there.
Should you switch to the other remaining door when asked or not? (You should: the other door has probability 999/1000 of being the one with the prize)
The thing you are missing in your analysis is the extra information gained when Monty opens the oher door.
I thought the accepted method for shareholders to get the company to do what they want was to replace the board and then the upper management, rather than suing.
>a) how do you know the proof is correct?
Other people would read the incorrect proof, see the errors, and change it so that it is correct just like any other article.
>b) how do you organize all of the mathematics coherently?
This could be done just as it is done for other articles; if its badly ordered, someone will come along and fix it.
If they separate the proofs, by say, including them towards the end of the article, then there should be no problem. It's often said that at least half the insight of a theorem is the proof used to get it.
You should try Tactics Ogre sometime. There was a Super nintendo game, as well as a gameboy game I believe. It's been some time since I played either one though. IMO these games were much more enjoyable than FF Tactics.
I would rather add Quake 2 in place of Quake 1, and Unreal Tournament in place of Quake 3 in that list. There are still many people playing quake 2 online, and various tournaments being held every year.

You obviously didn't spend enough time playing different mods in Quake 2.
It kinda looks like an old box that might be worth something, so thieves don't even need to know its a computer.

I thought a nice surprise was that there were 4 canadian universities placing highly, and a fifth that got an honorable mention.
