Thanks for the tips. As you point out, I already think I know the answer, Spoiler
as in Cirque Du ... right? I also tried Sirius, which would be the second brightest star.
Somehow it isn't working :(
I know several people who would love to play something like this, unfortunately, none of them speak english :(
Yes, as in ... :) I think I know why you don't succeed: Spoiler
Not horse, but a horse. Not Soleil but ... If you don't know French, look over the internet for it.
So the last part would be something like this:
Spoiler
x^2+y^2=0.25;x^2+y^2=4 V 25-x^2=(y-3)^2;25-x^2=(y+3)^2
And so if I solve those equations and do a "union" of the pairs I get, I graph those?
I'm just trying to see if I'm following the right path, as I still don't really know what I'm doing :)
Maybe this is as far as I'll get.
I suck at this... I attached my graph, and it doesn't look like anything...
And here are the equations:
Spoiler
y = 0.5 * sqrt(1 - 4x^2)
y = -0.5 * sqrt(1 - 4x^2)
y = sqrt(4 - x^2)
y = -sqrt(4 - x^2)
y = 3 + sqrt(25 - x^2)
y = 3 - sqrt(25 - x^2)
y = -3 + sqrt(25 - x^2)
y = -3 - sqrt(25 - x^2)
Am I way off or on to something?
Thanks for such an addicting puzzle!
Have you given up? Oh come on!
Spoiler
It's not a "real" language, it's from a well known book that has been also made into a movie.
Nice. Now I'll have to think a while about the f(x) question. Just a small pointer maybe?
Spoiler
f(x) = ceiling
f(x) = palindrome
f(x) = ? (I don't know yet)
f(x) = breast
f(dessert) = distress
Am I going in the right direction?
I think I've found the third answer.
And you mean:
Spoiler
f(height above ground) = top
?
I'll need to sleep on this one :wallbash:
;D
Still not exactly. It is said that for the four given values of x, it is true that f(x) = x. In other words Spoiler
f(height above ground) = height above ground
and so on. And think about some synonyms in the fifth equation.
