    Man, remember when everyone was like, "I can't wait until someone comes along who can beat Dr. Wily"? Or maybe that was Bahamut. No wait, it might have been Eppy. No, that was John Derrilll.

    Nah. That was Clef. I just read it. What am I thinking?

    :cry: Nobody mentioned me!

    :P Just kidding. I know why too - my first tournament was also Johnderrilll's first tournament here at OCR, February of this year.

    I am the Jimmie Foxx to Johnderrilll's Babe Ruth.

    The Karl Malone to JD's Michael Jordan.

    ...

    The Carmelo Anthony to JD's LeBron.

    A problem for all you Math people out there.

    I need to find the sum of the following series:

    Problem1.png

    I know that if the starting condition was n=0, the sum would be equal to e^5. However, it has a starting point of n=1. So how do you find the sum of it?

    ...maybe try subtracting 1?

    Actually, I'm pretty sure that's correct.

    The sum, as you mentioned, looks a lot like the infinite sum representation of e^x. As such, it behaves the same way, but the one you have shown here is missing the initial term of n=0. So you can merely subtract (5^0)/0!, which is 1. Therefore, the sum converges at e^5 - 1.

    wow... im still on the scoreboard.

    good thing too - im joining next tourney. Just need to find a new client for AIM (Vista doesnt like GAIM, and I refuse to install the AIM client.)

    I'll field this one, kamoh.

    As we've been over this before, by "next tourney", I'm sure you mean, NEXT WEEK. However, you can't play next week, since next week is the playoffs.

    You're welcome to startup with many of the others in January, however. You will hardly be at a disadvantage to the rest of us, as long as you play well from the outset.

    Here's two of my games with Johnderrilll. The first is our first game, the second is a third match we played for fun. I forgot to save the second one.

    He let slip some mistakes, as did I. Suffice to say neither of us brought our A games to the table.

    In summary,

    Rainman DX vs. Johnderrilll, 2-0.

    Your mom's impending.

    Also, good to have you again, Arek.

    You at the Capitol One Nothing Bowl is impending.

    Negativo. We accepted a bid to the Toyota Gator Bowl, January 1st, against one of either a) Texas, B) Louisville, or c) West Virginia. While our odds of winning against any of these teams is something short of possible, it will still be easier than any team we might have faced at the Orange Bowl. :(

    ^ Oh, and whatcha tryin' to do, spoil my chances of getting first place? Man, sucks to be me...

    Alright, JD, all you've got to do is beat Keegan twice, and we share this week's top score. My success this week is entirely dependent upon you.

    And dangit, kamoh, I want it clear that I've played every game assigned to me - and that includes two wins over Margoute in week 4. I hate to keep bringing it up. Get on the ball! :evil:

    :wink:

    Okay, I am officially spent in every sense of the word but the way you are probably now thinking. After about three hours of chess, it's bedtime. Bug Setz or Dama for movelists; they may have got them. And I'm too tired to summarize them. Anyways, I couldn't do them justice if I tried. They were all good games.

    Rainman DX vs. Setz, 2-0.

    Rainman DX vs. Damathacus, 1 1/2-1/2.

    And in a vainglorious effort to make sure I don't get the highest score this week, I will play Johnderrilll this weekend for my halfmatches.

    Hmmm. Kamoh, in week 4, are you giving me credit for 2 wins against Margoute?

    You've got the right number of total possible points (76), but I'm missing a win over Margoute on the board -

    it may just be notation or whatever, since I don't know why you'd put a single game in just the right column, savvy?

    Thanks for the consideration.

    Rainman DX vs. Margoute, 1-0.
