+1 to the ones I didn't suggest.

VOTES:

Develop chemosynthesis x1
Gain shell x1
Grow larger x1

We're multicellular ourselves, I just didn't want to call it a blob this time.

+1 to all.

+ Ln(e)

[tryrar]

ditto from me, +1 to above

[wolfchild]

Is no one batting an eyelid at my post?

[tryrar]

??

[Gamerlord]

Seems fine to me.

[wolfchild]

well then, more people on bay12 are mathematicians than I thought

[tryrar]

oh, math joke. No wonder i didn't get it

[kaian-a-coel]

I did get it... x)

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Neither did I.

Ln is the natural log of something an example LN(X) = Y, In this equation Y is the number of times you need to multiply e(2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995) by itself to get X. so if x was e then Y would be 1

((I think I suck at explaining maths to people))

A logarithm is always "base something". Typically 10 or e (2.718somethingsomething, in which case it is written ln).

log_a(X)=Y, where a^Y=X. For example, log₁₀(1000)=3, because 10^3=1000.

e(X) is e^X, with e being equal to the magical number 2.718blahblahblah. It's special for... reasons. That's another lesson (with derivative functions)

Point is, ln(e(X)) gives how many times you need to multiply e by itself to give e to the power of X. That is to say, X.

therefore ln(e)=1.

You explained it better than me
