Ask 42 or his OCs

[Manonstilts 17]

Erm...I'm with Aero...this is supa creepy. However. Hi Aero! One major question, how can I weather the weather whether the weather is good weather or whether it is bad? 

 

Erm...maybe that's not better...hmm...Anyway! I would love to know more about the both of you. Which of you is smarter?

I'm a little confused by your first question. I'll try rewording that first question to get rid of all the 'weathers'. Did you mean 'How can I brace the atmospheric conditions regardless of good atmospheric conditions or bad atmospheric conditions?' In that case, I have two pieces of advice. Check the weather forecast to avoid being in bad weather in the first place if you can, and if you have to be outside in the weather, come prepared, for example, bring sunscreen if it's sunny or an umbrella it it's raining.

 

As for your second question... We don't know. We're always trying to prove ourselves smarter than the other. We've come up with lots of challenges to try to prove who's smartest, but I've won about half of them and Aero won the other half.

 

Maybe you could give us another one? Ask us something to prove who's the smartest!

[Manonstilts 17]

Well. I am finding it hard to come up with a good question to ask...I imagine Aero knows quite a bit more about the weather than you 42 but you probably know more engineering. So...I have to come up with a balanced question. One which you both might know about...hmmm...

 

I know! Who is better at chess? It seems as though you both enjoy it based on your character pages. it seems to be the only fair field of competition! 

Despite your answer one way or another though, it would definitely appear that both of you are very very smart and the chess game wouldn't really decide who was the most but the question stands, who is better at chess? 

 

 

PS.

My OC Drawn Masquerade also enjoys chess and might be interested in a game sometime with one of you. The better one of course .

We'll have a chess game right here, right now! We'll use the chess algebraic notation to record our moves, so you can follow along too!

 

And I'll be happy to verse Drawn in a game of chess too! If I win, that is!

 

By the way, we decided who went first by a coin flip, so it was completely random. Aero plays white, and I play black.

Checkmate! I win! I'm the smarter one!

 

*Double checks board in hopes that it's not actually checkmate* That came out of nowhere! I thought you were only after my pawns.

 

I think you got too confident and stopped paying attention. Remember how you threw away your Knight on turn 16?

 

You don't have to remind me of that. I hate myself for making that blunder.

 

Well, I hope that answers your question, Manonstilts! Can I challenge Drawn now?

[Manonstilts 17]

Hmmm...I suppose I am not entirely sure if you can challenge me. It may be possible although I guess it depends on the intent of your question as a query of whether you personally have the ability to challenge me or if you are asking about a more withdrawn viewpoint regarding the efficacy or ability to to conduct such a contest. I might have to...

 

Drawn. We talked about this. Occam's Razor and all that? 

 

That seems so limiting and narrow-minded. He might be asking something more profound than...

 

Drawn. Figures of speech. He wants to know if you will play a game with him.

 

Oh. Well. Yes then! I would very much enjoy a match. Do you have a particular method you would like to use or a longhand algebraic across posts? 

 

See. Was that so hard? 

 

Maybe. It just feels so unclear. Are you sure that others prefer this kind of answer more? 

 

:okiedokielokie:  yes.

I think it'll be easier to use algebraic notation to send each other our moves.

 

Remember that this is our ask topic, not our chess topic. It wouldn't look very neat for each post to start with a new chess move. How about you two use PMs to play a game, then we'll post the game here once its completed?

 

Sure! I'll send you a PM, Drawn. By the way, just to be clear, I wasn't trying to ask something profound, I just simply wanted to know if you wanted a game, like Manonstilts said.

 

Edit: Drawn and Aero have finished their first game. Although they're having a rematch as we speak. Anyway, here's their game (Drawn is white, Aero is black):

 

1. e4 d5

2. e5 c5

3. d4 cxd4

4. Qxd4 Nc6

5. Qa4 Bf5

6. Bd3 e6

7. Nf3 Qa5+

8. Nc3 Qxa4

9. Nxa4 0-0-0

10. Ng5 Nxe5

11. Bxf5 exf5

12. Bf4 f6

13. Ne6 Re8

14. Nac5 Bxc5

15. Nxc5 Nd3+

16. Kd2 Nxc5

17. c4 dxc4 0-1

It was, in fact, an excellent game. My first playing in this format so it was a learning experience too. Of course I was distracted by the difference and the time lag and of course that is why I lsot this round...

 

Drawn.    

 

Oh...erm...Aero played very well. Thank you for the game and that rematch will be exciting! Good luck to you!

No, I haven't seen that.

 

Neither have I. Sorry, but we know next nothing about the Transformer series.

[Alicorn Fluttershy 152]

ok then. how many digits of pi do you know?

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

3.14159265... That's it.

 

3.1415926535897932. Beat that, 42!

[Manonstilts 17]

That's another point in Aero's favor 42...I think he's pulling ahead on that whole smartness issue. 

 

Maybe I should play chess against 42 instead...I might have a chance.   Just kidding 42! 

I have another question...Have you dated anyone before? (Directed at Aero) And directed at 42...What is your favorite memory with Aero? 

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

42! You forgot to quote Alicorn Fluttershy's post when we were recounting digits of pi!

 

I did? Whoops. I guess I was so focused on recalling the digits I knew...

 

That's another point in Aero's favor 42...I think he's pulling ahead on that whole smartness issue.

I have another question...Have you dated anyone before? (Directed at Aero) And directed at 42...What is your favorite memory with Aero? 

I swear, I am just as smart as Aero...

 

In general, I think Aero and I are very evenly matched in chess. If you go over our previous game, I was actually in a winning position for a little while since I was up a knight in material, but then I completely forgot about his rook and blundered away my own knight on turn 16, making the game even again. So, it probably wouldn't matter much whether you were versing Aero or me in a game of chess.

 

Dating? No, I haven't dated before. I'm a little hesitant about dating, since I hear there's all those small hidden rules of romance I'm afraid I may accidentally break. I'm not closed off to dating, but I want to make sure I know somepony very well before doing so, since I'm worried I may do something stupid during the date that would stain our relationship. At the moment, there's nopony I know well enough that I'd consider asking them on a date.

 

My favourite memory with Aero? When I actually beat him at an intelligence challenge! Just kidding, I've done that just as often as he has. I swear you just happen to be picking questions that Aero is more familiar with at the moment. Anyway, for my serious answer, I'd say whenever Aero and I get in a conversation about science. It's always interesting, since the areas we specialize in have enough differences that we can always contribute something the other didn't know, and at the same time there's enough overlaps that we can understand each other quite easily. We both learn a lot whenever we talk about science like that.

I wanted to ask a question for both of you. 

 

Did you know that THIS post is the 42nd post reply on this topic? 

 

If so, what prize do I win for being the best numbered post reply? 

 

 

 

 

Edited: The post counter does it two ways. One counts the posts after the initial and the other counts the initial as well. So...I looked at the one that counts REPLIES to your topic...so I replaced "posts" above with "replies." Just discovered this...

How did you find the forms and who is your favorite princess.

How did you find the forms and who is your favorite princess.

I felt like after being a brony so long (about a year and a half now), it was about time I actively participated in the community, so I just did a Google search for a My Little Pony forum and found this place. Nothing glamorous or amazing, just a simple Google search. Also, Luna best princess.

At the moment, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are engaged in an incredibly close and fierce competition for best pony. My current favorite keeps swapping between the two of them, and whoever's currently not my favorite is always extremely close to becoming my favorite again. It is a very epic battle. And my name simply comes from my love of the number 42. It's current form is used because very few websites have that form of the name already taken.

How do you feel about flutter shy and if you could live in equestria were would you live.

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

How do you feel about flutter shy and if you could live in equestria were would you live.

Fluttershy is perpetually at third on my favorites list. She is too cute to not like. Plus, the things she does once she's pushed to the limit are awesome, such as taking down a dragon and exclaiming that the animals are going to love her.

 

As for where I'd live, I'd probably choose Ponyville, simply because I know the most about Ponyville than any other town in Equestria, so settling down will be easy.
