Everyday Genius: Square Logic


Those of you who like facing challenges and solving problems could find this game truly interesting. I downloaded it myself and began playing, and I've found out that it can be truly addictive!

This game is somewhat similar to sudokus, but don't be scared if you find them difficult - this isn't really about solving sudokus. Instead, you will have to fill in boards between 4x4 and 7x7 with numbers, but they need to comply with several requirements, such as that two of them should add up to 5, that they're consecutive numbers, writing only even or odd numbers, etcetera. Even when this could sound boring, believe me - it's definitely worth trying, and once you try it, let me assure you that you won't regret it. Of course, that's unless you spend way too much time playing and too little studying, but there's nobody so addicted to videogames around here - or is it?



You can download a demo of the game here and, if you like it, please buy it - it's only €11, and it's definitely worth paying. You could be spending lots of time playing it, so why don't we just help software developers? In any case, you can also find it in your favourite P2P retailer or ask me for a copy, but, please consider buying it first.

Just don't forget to think hard - if you wish to succeed, you'll definitely need it. Guessing does not (usually) work here. And this goes for you, Fran - you know why.

3D TVs at home

Samsung and Panasonic will sell 3D televisions sets in USA this week. Many manufactures think that this will be the beginning of the third dimension at home. But the disadvantage is that people need to use glasses so they can see the 3D effects.

Samsung Electronic C.O. advertised that the 3D equipment bring its own glasses and 3D Blu-Ray. But the minimun price of the package is 3000$.

Right now, there isn't much media for these TVs, but Samsung include discs of some films in this package. For example: "Monster vs Alien".
Also, a lot of filbs will be sold when people manifest their wishes for them.

On the other hand, third dimension is the novelty in nowadays since a lot of films are seen in the cinemas in 3D because this effects make more real the movies. One of the examples is "Avatar" that is the film most viewed in 3D around the world. "Avatar" has made more than 116.2 millions of dollars.
But do we know if people want 3Ds effects for their homes?

Budget PC

PC gaming is often very expensive. The hardware (the intensive use of this) is very different to that used for the PC media. Is there a way to ensure a PC game at a very low price. The best strategy to obtain a low cost of game machine is to build with the hardware that you choose.
It's much easier to build your own PC than it might seem. Do not be intimidated by the process. As long as you are aware of the fact that all the components are compatible with each other, it is relatively easy to build your machine.
Computer manufacturers low cost does not include, for building high-performance graphics cards into one. Or a gaming PC with high-cost or low cost to build computers with integrated graphics. They also tend to stick with a power supply that barely powers of the components of the building. This leaves no place is the new generation of graphics cards that will be updated planned for next year. One PC game needs a solid power supply and impressive graphics card. This is of fundamental importance.

Chivalry ^^

Dragons, fights, horses, knights, damsels in distress...and so much more make up the fictional stories set into medieval time...but there is one thing that could not be more real: chivalry.
The word chivalry is much associated with the knight's code of conduct, their honor and virtues. The word itself derives from the French word "chevalerie", which derives from knight ("cheval").
Today, chivalry and chivalrous is used to describe a gentlemanlike behaviour towards women.
Why do I bother to explain it? Because yesterday, the small act of a young man simply lit my day:
I was with a friend on the bus (mind you, on the wrong bus, but on the bus nonetheless) when a mother with her baby girl got on. The seats were filled, and there was no place for her to sit. Before I could react, the guy sitting to our right got up and offered her his seat.
Chivalry Pictures, Images and Photos

The action itself seems so insignificant, but the fact that there are still some young people of our generation out there that are worth something, just made me smile and giggle.

ByeBye.

How (not) to beat the roulette - the martingale strategy

Edit: The Code is already uploaded you can find that in our Stuff section or just clicking here.

Who hasn't ever been sent an e-mail or found an advert on a website which assured that you could win as much money as desired only by playing roulette at online casinos? If you have ever tried, I'm sure that you won't get any richer - almost always it'll be the other way round. But why does this happen?

A roulette

It is said that it was French mathematician Blaise Pascal who invented the first roulette, which had 36 numbers in it - 1 to 36. At this time, there are two layouts for roulettes which are used in casinos - French and American ones, which have 37 and 38 numbers respectively. Whilst the first one added a 0 to the roulette, the Americans also added a 00 square. The basics of this game are fairly simple: each turn, the player will bet for an odd (1, 3, 5, 7, 9...) or even (2, 4, 6, 8, 10...) number. Should he have been right, he will get twice the money he betted, but if he was wrong, the player will have lost his bet. Watch out: zeroes aren't counted as even numbers; instead, they mean that the player will have lost his bet regardless of having chosen odd or even numbers.
