The thread where we ask ifthen questions
« on: December 28, 2012, 02:52:40 pm »

If you take 1/7 magma from the top layer of a volcano then how many ticks until that floating 6/7 fills up?

If you only specify that questions are to be asked, then will anyone answer any of the questions?

Apparently, yes.

If that's the case, then do we answer with questions, too?

I suppose you could work a question into the answer, no?

If we're going to derail the thread, then let's at least keep it in the format OP wanted, eh?

So you're assuming OP wanted it this way? What do we do after that?

If a thread confuses the hell out of you, then should you respond with an equally stupid statement?

To be, or not to be, that is the question?

Ok, so I'm into my second sixpack but... I think it'll only fill up if it's in a tile adjacent to a wall tile that at that time is spawning magma. Let's call those tiles A. At any given moment it will be on one tile of the volcano of a fixed area V. The probability of the 6/7 tile being in an adjacent tile A should be A/V. So if the probability of a wall tile spawning magma is P the probability of it being filled at any given time should be P * A/V and the number of ticks its inverse.

If there was a forum member with the name Ifthen, then would he (or she) have to answer all the questions?
