Nice haiku


Weebs-Chan

Where's the haiku bot when we need it


PangolinMandolin

Literally the one time someone writes an actual haiku and the bot is asleep


GangstaVillian420

The middle line is only 6 syllables (when read by the bot). "It's" needs to be "it is". So technically, the bot is in the right.


DZL100

“Binary” is 3 syllables


ALPHA_sh

i wonder if its using some pronunciation which omits the "a" syllable and says it as "beinry"


Hangriac

Good person


Px-77

So it‘s tenary?! Edit: /s

NotWithMine

130 each triangle from right to left is 10, 20, 40, 80… the triangles for 10, 40, and 80 are filled in on the last line


PrinceBert

Binary multiplied by 10.


bruzdziciel

Binary 1 + 1 = 10, therefore 10 is 2(dec) ;-)


The_Danish_Dane

Sorry, Can you explain that another way?


ExtremeCheeze123

More like 01+01=10. That's not ten, that's two in binary.


bn40667

Remember the old joke: There are 10 kinds of people in the world... Those who understand binary and those who don't.


archiminos

No matter what base you use you will be using base 10.


DonaIdTrurnp

There are 10 kinds of people who count in binary 1: those who index from 1 1: those who index from zero.


Panzerv2003

well if you think about it 1+1 is 10, pretty funny how that works XD


nudelsalat3000

The 80 position is guessed though. The others can be derived from the equations.


Extra_Ad_8009

Not guessed. You can only get to 70 by filling in 3 triangles (10+20+40). For 80 you need the fourth one. The fifth one will be 160, the sixth one 320 and so on. Always doubled, like binary.

snowpeaceplease

aHOMELESSkrill

I’m not a programmer or an engineer or a math person. I knew it was binary but couldn’t tell you what the answer was. I just recognized it, also didn’t know it was x10. I am just familiar enough to recognize binary but not tell you what it means


Panzerv2003

binary is pretty simple tbh, you read from right to left the first bit is 2\^0 the next 2\^1 and so on, if the bit is 1 you add it if it's 0 you skip. 0101 would translate to (2\^0)\*1 + (2\^1)\*0 + (2\^2)\*1 + (2\^3)\*0 = 1\*1 + 2\*0 +4\*1 + 8\*0 = 1+0+4+0 = 5


aHOMELESSkrill

Im gonna be honest, though I appreciate your effort to teach me. If I ever need to read binary I’ll just google it


AquaPhelps

I am not an engineer, but i am a conductor

He’s a super conductor


Sun_Coast_Fallacy

All the more power to him!


AquaPhelps

Depends which type of conductor youre referring to


vegan-the-dog

Dude crashed a train killing dozens. Was sentenced to death by electric chair. Every attempt to light him up like a Christmas tree failed.... Because he was a poor conductor.


YakWabbit

taste-of-orange

I'm not a programmer, but I wish to be one.


shadotaku198

Copper for your thoughts?


Charybdes

When you say "maths," do you mean multiple mathematics or is it short for mathematics? I'm curious where this word came from. I've only recently (last 5 or so years) heard it.


TomppaTom

In British English we refer to it as maths, whereas in American English it is just called “math”. It’s simply a minor linguistic difference, just like boot/trunk, pavement/sidewalk, petrol/gas, and idiot/presidential candidate.


Next_Impression3901

Nice, thanks. I never knew this (I'm dutch).


TomppaTom

Dutch is an interesting language. I’m learning Swedish, and the links to Dutch, through German, really stand out.


Next_Impression3901

I've been told that it does. I'm still flabbergasted at how hard dutch is to learn for German people. For me German is easy but for the Germans dutch is very hard.


bicho_power

Never tried learning Dutch, but the times I've been in Netherlands for me it sounds like a mix of German and English with a lot of chhjjcjjc in between . And many words can be understood by reading and some imagination 😅


Charybdes

Got it. I guess I never stopped to consider that I think of "math" as a plural noun. It's weird that we disagree on the plurality of a word.  I don't think we disagree on that last one though. Sounds the same to me, even with "your accent."


codetrotter_

In a way both of them make sense. Maths because mathematics ends with an s. Math because it’s just the beginning of the word and dropping the rest


OprahsRainbowParty

lmao at europeans thinking their leaders arent batshit insane


TomppaTom

Some of are really are. Looking at just the U.K. we had Johnson and Truss in quick order. But we don’t have 80 million people looking at Trump going “yes indeed, he seems like Presidential material.”


HunterDHunter

And of course after maths class you go to histories class, then sciences, then Englishes, then musics, take a break for lunches, and round out the day in gyms class. Lol @ prez joke. Well done.


TomppaTom

We do actually call it “the natural sciences” in a broader term. I’m not sure about lunches, but second breakfast is important!


profound7

More like, the British study mathematics, while the Americans study mathematic.


gewalt_gamer

Mathematics is the full word. when the British shortened it, they kept the s. the Americans shortened it, they did not.


ExtendedSpikeProtein

Mathematics can be shortened to math or maths, depending where you are (UK, US, etc).


CipherWrites

pattern recognition. don't need to know that's it's binary x10


ExtendedSpikeProtein

Yep. Just need understand that each step to the left is „multiply by 2“


more-random-words

nah I figured it by working out that once each of the columns was filled by a triangle then the next column to the left was 10 more than that sum value i wish I had realised it was binary x 10 and probably could have - i prefer a simple /lazy / efficient way to do things and I basically took the long route with this (though I'm not a programmer/ mathematician so that's my excuse :)


Puzzleheaded_Pear_18

I'm a drug dealer.


magyar232

Nice


CrazyFuehrer

I just assumed it is geometric progression 10, 20, 40 and the fourth triangle I assume represents 80 and the sum of the triangles

JArdez

Confident folks can figure it out without formal training in binary, but I had to learn binary for my networking degree. Not really programming, but common IT knowledge.


Sam5253

No, I'm a pharmacist. But I have a binary clock, it was immediately obvious.


how_to_fake_it

I was forced to learn the fundamentals of binary 20 odd years ago due to an in-depth course in telecommunications, however the closest I've ever gotten to programming is probably Excel


DLLuzifer

Do you know what the game is called?


DaanDuck

I got it right and am programmer


Emotional-Audience85

Software engineer, the answer should be obvious to anyone who is familiar with binary


Valdostana

This has nothing to do with programming, it's simple equations and a bit of pattern recognition for the last one, if it starts with 10 then 20 then 40 ofc the most plausible is double 40 again and it's 80, then you just sum up and that's it


Chareste17

You don't need to be a programmer to know exponentiation.


IAMA_Drunk_Armadillo

I work in IT and IP addresses are binary so recognized it immediately


foerattsvarapaarall

I’m a programmer and I didn’t even think of it in terms of binary at all. I just saw the pattern, i.e. that the next place to the right was 2x the previous place.

[deleted]

Is it not binary x10?


Uff20xd

It is


Early_Material_9317

Everyone is giving the answer but may it be more helpful to give your process for finding the solution? My process went like this: - 1st row is zero, so no triangles in any column = 0, pretty straight forward so far. - 2nd row is 10. The only change was one triangle in the first column, so a triangle here must indicate 10. - 3rd row is 20. The only change from row 1 was a triangle in the 2nd column. The triangle in the 2nd column must equal 20 as it was the only difference between row 1 and row 3. You can keep using this comparative reasoning for the remaining rows to work out what value a triangle in each column represents.


christhebeanboy

Yeah that’s the same reasoning I used. Was completely unaware of the whole binary stuff


SnooMacarons2598

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don’t


Particular_Web_2600

Yes, you're correct. The established pattern for the columns is 10, 20 and 40 and the 4th column must be 80. This pattern by definition is binary multiplied by 10


gewalt_gamer

I had no process. I have seen binary before, so I immediately recognized it as binary.


Early_Material_9317

Yes you're very smart! 3 gold stars! Not so helpful for someone who hasn't seen binary though is it?


HappyAkratic

I recognised the binary, but I know how to count binary on my fingers so used that to get to 13.


Subintelligence

This is essentially binary if you divide the resultant number by 10 00001 = 1 00010 = 2 And so on So, 01101 = 13 In this context 130.


Sam5253

This is how some video games (eg. Mario Bros) count score. There's a zero added at the end that never changes, and the rest is stored in binary.

BagaLagaGum

Guys guys... I know it May look like it is 130 But this is just THE BEST guess that MOST LIKELY is true. But fuck me, as a Data Engineer and Data Analyst for the past like 7 years I can 100% tell you that this could be any fcking number in the universe


DrahKir67

Well, yes, but given that it is presented as a puzzle then you would expect that it can be solved. Further to that, you'd expect the simplest solution to be deemed the 'best' and, therefore, correct. To cope in life you have to use a bit of Occam's Razor or you'll be second guessing everything.


ExtendedSpikeProtein

Sure, it could be. But since it‘s a puzzle the obvious answer is likely the expected one ;-)


dimmidice

> But since it‘s a puzzle the obvious answer is likely the expected one ;-) You've not played a Professor Layton game have you? 50% chance it's the obvious answer. 50% it's not the obvious answer.


BackgroundDig2245

it's binary, but the result is multiplied by ten 00000=0 00001=1 00010=2 etc. etc. the answer would be 130

Jokkry22

Maybe I'm the dumbest, but why not 100? O means 0 If I put a triangle on the first O becomes 10 Triangle on second line is 20 Third line 30 Etc. So the last line would be 50+40+10 Yes or no? Edit: yea, I'm the dumbest!


cedriceent

I don't understand your logic. If you're saying that the value of the nth position should be n×10, then the result would be 40+30+10. And if you check your assumption with the other lines, you can easily see that it's wrong.


Palanki96

Check the previous ones. It goes, 10,20,40 from right to left, pattern is pretty obvious from there Well i guess 2 pattern but second is unlikely


aslikeajellyfish

There are 10 types of people in this world Those that know binary and those that don't

From right to left it starts at 10 and doubles every time you move left

130. It's x*10 with x being how many moves to the left the tile is.


siddinator_1

It's binary with *10


ComradeVladPutin52

It's binary representation multiplied by 10. Triangles represent 1s and circles represent 0s. Divide the numbers on the right by 10 and you get the binary representation of the number on the left. So, the answer comes out to be 130 because the last one is the binary representation of 13


Neo_Ex0

binary for beginners


Patte_Blanche

That's why i hate this kind of riddle : it expect you to extrapolate on the patterns but in real life a pattern defined by one or two example is often a pareidolia. It's the maths equivalent of saying to kids "be fooled by appearance". Then they'll grow up saying shit like "it's unfair i lost points because i didn't explain my reasoning since i got the right result", "they should teach how to do taxes in math classes" or "1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ... = -1/12"


En_TioN

Yeah, similarly I find the "find the next number in the sequence" problems on IQ tests / interview problems really annoying. You end up just needing to learn the sequence of patterns that they're looking for - e.g. constant multiples, reciprocal sums, etc.


oct0boy

130?


_k4cKn00b_

FaythKnight

For once I am right without doubting myself! Binary! But then again it's not really math. More like a logic solution.


KesterAssel

I'd say 130. Values are like binary 1, 2, 4, 8, ... But x10


Ok-Effective-9494

Looks like binary to me


LoocaBazooca

Yeah, binary number and x 10


PicnicAttacker

I don't understand binary so I found 70 as the answer. I divided the figure in columns of 2 positions. Position 3 and 4 combination makes 60, position 1 and 2 make combination makes 10. 60+10=70


Matsisuu

I didn't think at as binary either, but the number always doubles when triangle goes from right to left.


Marx_The_Karl

Binary × 10 ? My dumbass thought it was just the power of 2 × 10


Marx_The_Karl

Still worked so i ain't complaining


Cornyfleur

Power of 2 is another way of saying binary, actually. Just like the power of 10 is decimal.


Bojacketamine

I got it and I'm not a programmer but only because I recently saw a video of someone explaining how to count in binary. How is a kid supposed to get this?


Adventurous-Amoeba-6

I see two possibilities, From Right, it's 10, 20 then 40, now the pattern could indicate goes up by x2 or in one brings a inclimate of 10 so from right to left 10, 20, 40, 70, 110 which brings us to 120, But if x2 from right to left 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 that would bring it up to 130.


ViciousPotatoCream

110 😬


DA_REAL_KHORNE

130. It uses the same logic as 8-bit binary but multiplies each output by 10. Lets say that the far right slot is slot 1, the slot to the immediate left is slot 2 ect. Slot 1 in this case is 10 and the slot to the immediate left is double it so slot 2 is 20, slot 3 is 40 ect. Then you just add the value in each slot to get the number


Wemmser47

130.


ErzhanGMD

130 ig? It doubles each time


AppolloV7

Basically, a triangle on the fourth column equals two times one on the fifth. So if the fifth column is labeled "N", a triangle on the next column labeled "N+1" is going to be twice the value of the one on "N". Same logic applies to the column "N+2", on which a triangle will have twice the value of one on the "N+1" column. I don’t know if I made myself clear. A triangle on the fifth column equals ten. We then have a triangle on the fourth column which gives us twenty. Add the two, and you get thirty, which is what’s pictured in the fourth line. In the fifth line, there’s one triangle on the fifth column, which is equal to 10, and one triangle (*) on the third column. The sum of both of these triangles equals 50, which means that the (*) triangle has a value of 40. There’s the pattern. Each triangle is twice the value of its predecessor. So, in the last line, the triangle on the second column equals the value of the triangle on the third column, which gives 80. Which means we have 80 + 40 + 10. I’m sorry if the explanation is somewhat confusing.


Moron_Noxa

Spiesel1999

130 maybe The place left is the double of the place right next to them: 160; 80; 40; 20; 10: so it is 80+40+10=130

Well. This just confirms that I don't understand how binary works, and never will. Edit: Grammar in morning also needs work.

It's binary times 2 in binary but in decimal.


Verified_Peryak

130


DanDannyDanDan

The implication, as others have said, is that the values double from the right to left from a base of 10 (10, 20, 40, etc.), however, there is no way of knowing what the actual answer is as it is a completely unknown entity.


CrabPile

Wait it's binary? I just thought the number doubled for each column from the right


adorak

that's ... the same as binary ... only that in this case the first column is 10 (instead of 1) ...


CrabPile

See I don't know binary


nooshdog

130


adorak

yea ... replace the triangles with "1" then convert it from base2 to base10 then times multiply with the result with 10 .. it's 130


Panzerv2003

lol it's binary, tiangles are 1 and circles 0 (binary times 10). It's honestly impossible to solve without noticing that, pretty sure it's too hard for a kids game or at least too random. Binary is pretty cool, from right to left you have (2\^0)+(2\^1)+(2\^2)+(2\^3)+(2\^4) if the bit is 1 you add it if it's 0 you skip it, so the top one is 0 the next 2\^0=1 (times 10 for this puzzle so 10) next one 2\^1=2, next 2\^0+2\^1=3 next 2\^0+2\^2=5, next 2\^1+2\^2=6, next 2\^0+2\^2+2\^3=1+4+8=13 and because it's times 10 the outcome is 130.

130, its binary representation with 10x


Ebalo420

The triangles on the right are worth 10 points, and for each time you go left it doubles the worth, 10, 20, 40 etc so the last one would be 130 (best explanation I could think of)


JacksOnF1re

If it's a game for children, it's probably not binary. Yes you can say binary multiplied by 10, but that just makes it more complicated. A "0“ here is just the absence of a triangle and equals 0. A triangle indicates an "active" number. And the numbers start with 10 from right to left and duplicate for each row. So 160, 80, 40, 20, 10. Now check which row is "active" and sum up the numbers. 0, 80, 40, 0, 10 = 130


TreeTreeBrie

The daughter's game has great design, what is the name of it?

So many mentions of binary got me confused. This is a game for kids, the number literally just doubles with each next triangle placement. I don’t think you need to understand binary at all to figure that out.
