Cow

This may have been a problem I saw in some math book, whose details I don’t remember.

A cow is tied to a rope which is attached to a silo. The silo has a diameter of 1 unit. The rope is pi/2 units long. What is the exact area the cow can roam?

I haven’t figured this out. I’ve tried polar coordinates, parametric equations, etc. This is probably going to turn out like part 2 of the circles problem…

Some fun with Jarros

A character made out of boredom. His purpose is yet to be determined.

This is almost a year old, and I’m surprised I haven’t uploaded it here yet. Enjoy :)

Nivvix Mathematician

My first Nivvix entry turned out a lot more dramatic than I would have liked, so I decided to do another one. This one is a Nivvixian mathematician, loosely based on a species of praying mantis. He lives a calm, quiet life in the countryside, and is developing the set of rules and principles that may someday form the core of Nivvixian math.

Nivvix Doctor

For zimeta08’s Nivvix Kingdom Commtest

Nivvix doctor, based on a june bug. It’s one of the first search results I got for “medicinal insect”.

He was driven to a little bit of fanaticism by modern medicine and colleagues who made fun of him. He jumps on each of their failures, and makes sure all his patients know that the traditional, alchemic medicines and good ol’ stone cot can never be replaced, and that they’ve made the right choice coming to him. Not everyone’s convinced.

Quantum duck is on the ground… or is he?

Okay, so I’ve moved art back to here because four sites is just too many to check.

Palindrome sum

deej — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:09:42 +0000

Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two palindromes. 389 for instance is 383 + 6 as well as 323 + 66.

What three-digit number cannot be expressed as the sum of two palindromes?

(For the sake of this problem, palindromes with leading zeroes [like 030 and 0550] are not allowed, and neither are negative numbers or non-integers. Single digits are allowed.)
