@edwardleetwtr @ask_ourself @yashkaf @TaterTotient The endpoints aren't as important. It only works for fractions where the numerator is one less than the denominator.
@ryanqnorth@tvaneerd @John71193784 1. You promised tweets, not a tweet.
2. You said "Jughead is". That makes it a present Jughead tweet, not a future Jughead tweet.
@ccanonne_ @xkcd Unmumbling: Else we know that after one step two numbers are at most X_2/3 and the third is at most X_1. So after another step all numbers are at most X_8/9.
@ccanonne_ @xkcd Let the numbers be (L,M,U) in increasing order. U-L shrinks by 1/9 every two steps: Let X_c=(1-c)L + cU for c in [0,1]. Use AM>=GM to see that two numbers in the next step are at most X_2/3. If M<X_8/9, enough shrinking happens. Else *mumbles*. ▫
@ryanqnorth Hey, I'm a huge fan of squirrel girl, but I think the latest issue has exponential written instead of quadratic. It's bugging me, is anything going to be done about it?
Thanks in advance.
