The obvious solution is to get a new video game, Kalshane.
Heh. I still have the original Knights of the Old Republic installed, but completely unplayed on my PC. I don't think I need to buy anything else that will most-likely spend 6 months to a year (or more) just taking up disk space.
Though when the new video card gets here, maybe I'll play that. My old one could run it, but not at the max settings.
Then again, I still have an almost finished game of Baldur's Gate II on my hard drive as well. Though that one certainly doesn't need better hardware.
So, anyone here ever try to figure out petals around the rose?
I got it in 3 to 4 tries. So either I'm really smart (or really dumb, depending on the theory) or I only think I figured it out and have just been making lucky guesses.
Petals spoilers
I just looked, and said, well the center's gotta be the rose, and counted. It took me a little time to get there, but yeah, dummy.
Also ita, I looked up stuff on it later, because I'd never heard of it, and was wondering if I should send it to school with Ben. Other sites
offer that bit about the name as part of the game, not a cheat. In other words, it is how they introduce the game.
I tried it three times and realized it was the kind of maddening thing I hate and I could do it like 50 gazillion times and never get the right answer. And furthermore not care very much. So does that mean I'm and Einstein or a putz?
And I still love Jesse even though she likes Dr. Phil. Different life coaches for different folks.
You're an Einstein quitter putz, kat.
I don't even think it's about how hard you think
Well, I kinda mean in terms of how deep a groove you dig when you pursue a train of thought -- it makes it harder (in my analogy) to jump right up and shift metaphors.
I think the part of the description that said "Only a basic understanding of math is required" threw me way off. I'm a bit of a stickler for the rulesguidelines.
I got it in just a minute or two. I'm not sure there's a "how hard you think" thing -- I think it's more just whether you hit on the right guess.
Starting Over is a total dirty secret of TV watching.
Totally. Um, I mean, what's Starting Over?
There's some anecdote Bob points to all the time, about how someone really smart-- Feynman, maybe-- scored rather low on an IQ test, and people theorized it was because he could make even "wrong" answers work.
I don't think your intelligence is implicated if you get the answer right away, but you may be stymied for a really long time because you can come up with lots of different possible solutions.
There's a great anecdote about Bill Gates on one of the links.

Yeah, I see what you mean.
I don't think your intelligence is implicated if you get the answer right away,
Phew. I was afraid I was borderline retarded there for a minute.
But then, I'm the person who spends a lot of energy insisting that being good at trivia doesn't make me "smart."
