Themed Problem Challenge! Week II

Before I begin, let me first congratulate last week's winner, Yan Yau Cheng with his problem It's Coronation Day!! Everybody give him your congrats! :D

Now, this week's theme is something I know you guys will all love. This week's challenge is manga/anime! This can includes books, TV shows, etc. Check out last week's note for more rules. Pretty much, just write a cool problem with the theme of manga/anime and post it! Provide a link in the comments, and don't forget to check out other's problems too. Let's try to get some more reshares this time around! Like and reshare! Good luck. :D

NOTE: Try to add pictures. It makes the problem awesome, and easier to connect for people who've never watched/read anime/manga in their life (such as myself).

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

I am definitely posting a problem, I was waiting for this thanks manga and anime lovers.Naruto and One piece yeah!

Mardokay Mosazghi - 7 years, 1 month ago

Haha, knew you would. Fantastic!

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

Here is my problem Finn: Pokemons to the rescue.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

I barely know manga/ anime but from what little I know, I made this.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa nice problem I am going to try it, working on my question

Mardokay Mosazghi - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Mardokay Mosazghi – OK

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

is there any one who know about the proof of Eulers form of complex numbers ?

Muhammad Mairaj - 7 years, 1 month ago

Just asking, is this to do with the thread's topic of discussion?

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

Yeah...

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

I am sure everyone will kill me for asking this, but is Pokémon considered as manga?

Nanayaranaraknas Vahdam - 7 years, 1 month ago

Well, if there are Pokémon comics, it is manga, but since I have only watched it on TV, it is considered as anime. Check out my problem on Pokémon.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

Here is my problem on Pokémon.

The Exhaustive Battle

Nanayaranaraknas Vahdam - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse, Am I late to the party? I wrote an Attack on Titan themed problem about the Riemann zeta function.

Forget the potatoes, have some pie!

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

Totally not bro! Great problem though. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

Awesome problem. Took me some time to get the answer.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa – Glad you like it! Would you mind writing a solution?

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – HAHAHAHAHA I need to solve it first silly! Give me time! I'm playing an FTW! match with @Sharky Kesa wanna join? Password's 123. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – I was responding to Sharky, but if you want to write a solution as well, That'd be great!

Regarding FTW, I have to go grab a snack (Friday is anime night after midnight) but I'll be back in about 15 minutes.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – Oh, ok. Well, there's not much. You make an AoPS account, which should be pretty simple, and then you can just click on FTW!. You can even play as a guest, just keep in mind that the password is 123. See you there! :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – I made a new game. Password is a+b

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa – Awesome! I might have to go to bed soon though. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – Great game.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – Sure. Wait 10 minutes, I will just finish lunch.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa – Haha, it's like midnight for me. :O

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – @Finn Hulse @Sharky Kesa Good game! How do you do the sum question though? It doesn't seem possible.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – Calculator. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – It isn't exactly neat though. I bet there's an easier solution.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa – Does it involve reordering the numbers and getting a new series? That's my solution.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – Yes, I think.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

I don't know how the H E double hockey sticks to solve that.......calculus....turds.

Robert Fritz - 7 years, 1 month ago

Haha. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse Has the week elapsed? Have you decided a winner?

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

I had been thinking about that as well.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

I'm still reviewing. I want to make sure everything's good. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

OK.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B., @Vishnuram Leonardodavinci, and all others who love manga/anime, come get some of this! :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

Attack on Titan, let's do this! And maybe Free! (which I watched by accident) or Fullmetal Alchemist (4 episodes in) if I can think of something. I'll work on this tomorrow.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

Sweet! Attack on Titan was pretty messed up. And free was pretty interesting...I guess. Hard to come up with a swimming anime.

Robert Fritz - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Robert Fritz – Note: $\textit{by accident}.$ Free! was ok, but Attack on Titan is my favorite out of the three I've watched/watching.

One thing I liked about Free! is that it didn't have a character named Rose. Homestuck, Doctor Who, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Attack on Titan (the wall) all have characters named Rose in them!

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – Lol!

Robert Fritz - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – You a Doctor Who fan? I certainly am. Rose Tyler is stuck in a parallel universe.

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa – Somewhat. It's been a really long time since I've watched it, unfortunately.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – So you haven't watched the 11th Doctor yet, Matt Smith?

Sharky Kesa - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Sharky Kesa – I don't think so. I got into it a couple years ago when my science teacher played episodes of it in his room before school started, but then I lost interest over that summer, but I want to get into it again. Most of what I know comes from my friends, who really like Doctor Who.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Robert Fritz – Yeah. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

Wait bro you need to reshare this! I can't wait to see what you come up with. You should try to blend some Homestuck with something else. Like, mix up some totally different characters.

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – My Homestuck set will be released on June 12, the 4th anniversary of Hivebent, which is pretty much where all people start liking Homestuck (If you're not paying attention, the first four acts can get pretty boring).

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – Woah. Okay. Dude that is seriously nerdy. :O

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – Hey, numerology is extremely important in Homestuck. 4/13, 6/12, 10/25, and 11/11 are all important dates in it. It's not that nerdy; I'm just honoring the date.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. – Fine, fine. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

YES! GO KICK BUTT TREVOR! :D :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

How bout trying something with Naruto. That anime is one of my main super anime with over 100 episodes: fairy tail, dragon ball, , Reborn.....probably about 40 different others

Robert Fritz - 7 years, 1 month ago

Whoops One piece duh. I'm on about 250. There are soooo many and it's still going on.

Robert Fritz - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Robert Fritz – :O

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

All I can say dude is that I cannot wait to see what interesting problem you're going to cook up. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Finn Hulse – Just posted it....I kinda made it unscrambling a bunch of equations. It's called "Naruto!!!!"

Robert Fritz - 7 years, 1 month ago

congrats dear
