  Optimal banding *shape* (was Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
In my playing with Brick-o-liser (which has been hampered by the fact that it's very very slow.... even on a fast connection) the stock images are all larger than the 44x44 plate area, requiring resizing. Are people using actual 44x44 sized images (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Right. The theory of *gravity* is just a theory. (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Relativity Question
 
(...) Everything in science is a theory. But Relativity is a working theory -- its various effects (time dilation, etc.) have actually been proven with high-speed jets, atomic clocks, and so on. Paul Davidson (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

(...) LOL!!!! Beauty! Will we be seeing these on BAYLIT anytime soon? I could use about 50 or 100 light gray 1x1 plates and would be happy to pay $.05 apiece for them. But I don't need a whole 48x48 baseplate full of them. --Todd (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
 
  Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
(...) FWIW, my first order resulted in: 1 Black => 1 bag of 90 Black 1 DGray => 1 bag of 90 DGray 1 MGray => 1 bag of 90 MGray 1932 LGray => 22 bags of 90 LGray 1 White => 1 bag of 90 White What did everyone else order? -Jon (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
(...) But it can't recolor your pixels if you do high-contrast banding -- i.e., a band of black, a band of medium gray, a band of white, a band of dark gray, and finally a band of light gray. I think it can only (fairly) do color substitutions when (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) thing (...) Of course a smart mosaic generator could pretty easily make sure you only ever get 25 bags. In your "optimal" example, assuming that they do go for perfect use of the 90 plates in a bag, the program only has to recolor 9 or 10 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
(...) Sounds like they've set themselves up to give a pretty good bargain since a best case (for TLC) would be only 22 bags, so being able to get 26 bags is getting an extra 18.2% (or a 15% discount). Of course they may budget the thing for 25 bags (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
(...) Hmm. I bet they're *really* 90-count bags and the extras are for if you go over 88, not 90. That is, I'll speculate that if you need 87 or 88, you get one bag. But if you need 89, 90, 91, 92, or any number up to 176, you get two bags. (Just a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I think the answer is that we'll all grow old faster by stressing ourselves out trying to solve this. :-) Don't forget that the Theory of Relativity is just that, a theory. Also, it's based on the assumed constant of the speed of light. The (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

(...) Using this formula someone else posted: T = t/(sqrt(1-(v/C)^2)) The amount of time experienced by the twin that stays behind would be 26.67 Years. This sounds right. The longer he was gone, and/or the closer to the speed of light (C) that he (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)
