Stars, Pink. They always burn out so quickly, busting in fiery cataclysms of light and furious energy. I look up into the sky and all I see is death.

Good morrow, Cinnamon! How have you been?

[CinnamonPop 3,350]

Doing well, and how about you?

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Doing well, and how about you?

I'm fine, Cinnamon! 

[CinnamonPop 3,350]

Glad to hear it.

 

I hear that you and some other member are the thread bards now?

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Glad to hear it.

  Thanks!

 

Timesten is thread bard. He's a better bard then I am, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad bard! Today is a gateway to tomorrow, a mirror to yesterday; look freely and without fear to see the eternal eons spread before you.   

[CinnamonPop 3,350]

I enjoy looking at lyrics. You two seem really good at making rhymes.

You're nice and sweet, like cinnamon!  :grin2: Thank you for the complement, but I'm no expert.

 

Gods? Who are the gods?

[CinnamonPop 3,350]

You and Timesten, of course! ^~^

 

@Count Paradox tried to make Jonas my son instead of yours. During your offline segment.

@Count Paradox tried to make Jonas my son instead of yours. Considering how long you were offline.

Ah, yes. Timesten is a better bard then I, ergo he is better with the rhymes.

 

I think you'd make a good mother figure for my son! At least, while I can't be here. He could learn a lot from you!

[CinnamonPop 3,350]

Thank you.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Thank you.

Don't mention it, Cinnamon.

I WIN!

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I WIN!

No you don't, silly! Only I may win.

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

I challenge you for the right of winning this game!

Very well... let's have a math contest! The first question is yours. It'll be sudden death, one wrong answer and you're out. 

 

First question: What does 1 + 1 equal?

My first question: Determine the point(s) where the function y=2x^2+4x+42 has a tangent parallel to the line y=4x-2.

stars don't really die but they do change shape.

 

 

just like us.

Wrong.  1 + 1 = 10 in binary, 2 doesn't even exist.

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

Wrong.  1 + 1 = 10 in binary, 2 doesn't even exist.

You never specified the answer had to be in binary. Both answers are correct. I took the most conventional assumption that you were using base 10, as you made no indication to the contrary.

You don't know. You haven't seen them grow cold, everything grows cold when things grow big, black, and empty at the end. Then it all... goes away. Death. No longer exists, never existed in the first place. Swallowed by the void before it all starts up anew. Everything dies, you know this. Don't sell me your silver rainbows about change. Once something changes, it is dead dust, even if it looks pretty.

Didn't I? Wasn't it obvious that was the answer I was looking for? You didn't think I'd ask the great math genius such an easy question unless I had a dirty trick up my sleeve, did you?

That's deep... I must admit, I don't have the patience to watch stars burn out, so I've never noticed that before. They just take sooooooo long before they burn out! If you thought watching paint dry was boring, you should give watching stars burn out a try! Well, I suppose the latter has the advantage of a grand finale at the end if you persevere... but I've never lasted anywhere near that long.
